I was thinking the same, myself, about the vest hit.

Europe tends to treat adults as adults.

The sadly comical point is the redacted videos will still almost always have dire warnings about violence, etc..

These days media almost always ends or blurs video of this sort of thing. I almost never see unredacted video anywhere, anymore.

Yup, that sure looks like a gun.

At the time of release we hadn't seen any Star Trek since the animated series, in 1975, so it was more than welcome. They kind of overdid it, though, with what felt like 15 minutes of flying around the new Enterprise when I saw it in the theatre.

If I remember correctly one of the controversies, at the time, was that they swapped through multiple SFX companies during shooting. ILM is listed as primary, but it seems to me they were the final one used.

They sure do. On their colour corrected and light balanced editing rigs. Not on the sort of stuff where it will ultimately be played.

It does get better as the seasons go on. I'll disagree on the shadow detail though, at least in a recent episode. So many shows, these days, don't consider the medium they're using. There was a whole episode that was pretty much a wash for me because it mostly took place at night and I couldn't...

The new season of Doctor Who started last week.

This one was a bit too close to home. I left campus a couple of hours before this one. https://www.cp24.com/local/toronto/2025/04/15/4-pedestrians-injured-in-downtown-toronto-hit-and-run-say-police/ For the record, the Mandela walkway is what Victoria Street becomes, in the area where it's...

I doubt they have anything of the sort. In fact I would be more than a little surprised if they have anything approaching brakes. It looked sort of like this...

I almost saw someone on one of those stupid single-wheelers get taken out, in SEATAC, when he jumped the gun on an advanced turn signal. Pity I didn't get it on my travel dashcam.

Not really connected to this thread, but connected: I got to see "The Gamers: Dorkness Falls" from the inside. I was on-set, in Seattle, both on-camera and behind a (stills) camera. Even had an incredibly minor part and ONE line :ROFLMAO:. I sure hope they use the long shot, and not the swivel...

That would be them. Great fun movies and I agree that Malkovich chews the scenery.

Unfortunately, all too common. I got nailed like that, pre-Covid, when someone made a right turn from the left lane, on Yonge northbound at Queen, at something like 5:00am. That's a "no turning" intersection. He also tried to take off until he saw that my car wasn't disabled, and I was...

"... are required to turn out to the right." Ah, yes. The section of the HTA that cyclists love to pretend doesn't exist.

I feel like I need to hunt down the episodes of the "Twin Peaks" revival series, in honour of one of my Seattle friends who had a small part in it ('Hit and Run Mom'). Especially after she posted pics of revisiting the cafe in North Bend, Washington that has the "damned fine coffee", and my own...

I am firmly of the opinion that everyone is a potential addict and most of us just haven't found the one thing that triggers it in us. I was lucky to find out, fairly early in life, that alcohol does it for me, though other substances also do. As a result I keep away from any intoxicants.

Just rewatched a few episodes today, myself.
