  • This. It wouldn’t surprise me if it comes out years later she was basically forced in this position because of ongoing peace negotiations. She’s not stupid, her staff isn’t stupid, bring pro no refugee murder is a very obvious stance. Israel, for whatever fucking reason, has us by the balls. Hopefully one day that changes and they’re just out there in their own like every other asshole. Also BB knows the more fucked up shit he does during the election cycle the better chances he’ll get the guy he wants in. Watch peace suddenly be an option when it’s clear Harris is going to claim victory.


  • WTF why does this little country with a bunch of trash from various space ghost worshippers have so much damn power over the largest countries in the world??? I know it’s a mess we (US/UK) created but holy shit after a certain time we should just let go.

    There’s nothing but a net negative to supporting a government that cheerfully slaughters refugees. Does it really take them cleansing 7 million people for us to treat them like we did the Nazis??? It’s really not hard to see the writing on the wall because we’re selling them the fucking paint.




  • So real answer time on subs from the Adobe side. Albeit not popular.

    The real reason for subscription based licencing is push updates based on new tech with Adobe. Back in the day you had to wait for a new version of Premiere/Photoshop etc to support new camera codecs or new features like background proxy generation. This had to do with what’s considered a new software package and software patent law with how you pay devs.

    So you pay for features ABC for version 10. And pay for features ABCDE in version 11. But it you’re paying a subscription service they can “live” update the produt to rollout ABCDEFGH constantly as they’re ready to ship.

    Yeah it’s basically Adobe being cheap and not wanting to pay their devs better and for that I definitely agree fuck sub models. But for us professionals live updates in post is a godsend and also allowed our camera and production tech to upgrade at breakneck speeds.

    At the end of the day Adobe is the best choice because the alternatives are mostly not software dev and UI focused. And they are on top of their game tech wise. So we’re pretty much at their mercy on how they wanna charge us. I’m always excited to see what BMD is doing with DaVinci Resolve - the best pro color grading software out there btw. They’ve been pushing their NLE editing package of the software hard and is free, highly recommend. Would love to see them overtake Adobe like Adobe overtook Avid.











  • Hmmm it’s hard to say because its theme is definitely similar to The Wind Rises in that it’s semi autobiographical about his childhood during WWII. However it has more of Myazaki’s trademark mystical elements than TWR.

    For me I genuinely loved it and thought it poetically blended aspects of his real childhood and how time distorts memory. It’s kind of a culmination of his old work and his more “realism” movies like TWR. In the end, it stands as a unique work of art as anyone would expect from a Miyazaki film. Highly recommend it.

    As a note, Mark Hamill and Robert Pattinson were particularly exceptional performances in the Eng version.
