I was worried if my comic is perhaps too self indulgent, but then I remembered the words of Björk and now I need to make it even more self indulgent 🥰

GDT's reddit AMA spitting fire

www.reddit.com/r/movies/com...
reddit comment: Hello! Did you intend the ending of Pan’s labyrinth to be real or in Ofelia’s mind? Guillermo Del Toro's reply: My interpretation, and it's exclusively mine, is that it's real. Because there's two things. One is what people call “The Shining Question.” The Shining Question is, Who opens the door for Jack to get out of the fridge? And Ofelia is in an attic with a guard outside her door, and she draws the door with the magic chalk, and she shows up in the labyrinth. So, the only way she could have gone into the labyrinth is the magic chalk. And the flower is real at the end. The flower that blooms in the dead tree. And the reason I think it’s real is because—and this is why I'm in favor of the human factor in art—I think that art does transform the world. You know? Think about it for a second. One of the goals, with all this movement, is to make you believe that art is vulgar. That art is nothing special, and anybody can do art. That is like me telling you that I'm faster at running than Usain Bolt but I “run” in my motorcycle. Well, that's not the same. That’s not the same at all. Art is important, and they want you to believe it isn't. It's part of the idea of control. The goal is not to have artificial intelligence. The goal is to foster natural stupidity. The goal is to foster you not looking for answers, and to trust yourself entirely to an engine. Look at the way we are dipping our toes into these things. We are starting to ask the machine, Is this true? For now, there's a correlation between reality and what the answers of the machine are. For now. But soon, we won't even investigate further. We will be told it's true. And if the machine is in the hands of somebody who should not be trusted, then your reality has been completely and utterly fucked. Because your intelligence ends at the question. You don't seek the answer. It's given to you. Q: You recently mentioned that AI creates 'semi-compelling screensavers' and that you'd 'rather die' than use it. As a filmmaker who relies heavily on practical effects and creature design, what do you think is the biggest thing lost when a computer generates an image instead of a human hand? GDT: The three quarters of the process that gave you the chance to think of the idea that people don't think about without that process. Meaning, AI can get you to the middle really fast, but there's a dialectic with the process that gets you to that top 10%. I'll give you an example with the Pale Man. We sculpted it as an old man, with a face. And then I said, Let's take out the face. This happened because I saw a photo of a manta ray and the poster for Don Coscarelli’s Phantasm. That combination, which happened at two different times during a week or a month, are not permutations that are chemically part of an equation. They are alchemy. And then I said, Take out the face, and then I said, Let's put the eyes on the hands. This triangulation happens because I spent a month or two months living with the idea of this creature. And it's not linear. AI is like a super-fast engine that makes semi-sentient permutations of things that are already done. Creation is things that have never been done. Coming to exist. And the second thing is the loss of the apprenticeship that one has as an artist. You're never a master; you're always an apprentice. This is a kinship I have with, for example, Chris Nolan. When he showed me The Odyssey, there’s a scene when Matt Damon is floating in the stormy ocean and I asked him—because we were talking about practical effects, and how great it is and that we both always use a maquette or a model—and I asked him, How did you do it? He said, “We put him in a storm in the ocean.” And you're gonna find that 30% of a great image occurs accidentally. You know, either a drop of water hits the lens, or the camera shakes. I remember when in 1993, '94, Jim…

This is an extremely tough year but Blood Pool is one of the most creatively invigorating parts of any year for me because doing all practical effects and physical sets in 2026 feels radical and cool and awesome in a world that is increasingly hostile to the creative process.

A peek at the new "altar" addition to Blood Pool this year –– all 68 of the LEDs in these candles are controlled by a remote control, so they can turn on, change colour, etc at will! Full water pics tomorrow when we do our OPEN HOUSE and first shoots in the evening!!

with them next to each other i am actually very charmed by young link's design (it's very kokiri! that's why im making it!) but i would never ever make adult link because he has so much stuff going on but you bet your dollar i'm gonna see at least 500 of those adult links in cosplay competitions

original mask 3d model from @dangerousladies.ca , sculpted additions + painting/finishing by me!
a cosplayer wearing a replica mask of fox mask from silent hill f, facing forward. the mask is sculpted and painted a weird bone-skintone color and looks gross. a cosplayer wearing a replica mask of fox mask from silent hill f, facing at a 3/4 angle. the mask is sculpted and painted a weird bone-skintone color and looks gross with veins up the side.

i just want to say this chart is pretty accurate for cosplayers, i think
a 2x2 with spite/divine inspiration/the bit/my dick. each photo is of a handmade cosplay. medicine seller from mononoke is between divine inspiration and spite. aba from guilty gear is between spite and the bit. howl from howls moving castle is between the bit and my dick. link from tears of the kingdom is between divine inspiration and my dick. yamato from one piece is dead center.

I think that Dolly Parton was, for a lot of people, an ambassador of the "good" values people think of about the South: kindness, hospitality, can-do spirit, sharp and witty and down to earth. I think for a segment of people, too, she was theantithesis of a lot of noxious masculine country stuff.

I think the universal grieving comes in no small part from the fact she represented the best of what America could be, and that she never stopped chasing that ideal, artistically and socially

PS. This morning, CBC radio approached us to ask if Jenn would like to speak about the impact of tariffs on small, Canadian business. If you'd like to tune in, we're estimating the show will air around 8am EST tomorrow (Aug 25th). Listen, here: www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

i think games like big walk are why video games are very special, actually, and why people should play more video games
