My favourite Doug thing was when he made that awful review(?) of Pink Floyd’s The Wall, and the internet collectively came together to say “stop this shit, it isn’t funny anymore.”
When he tried to do a comedy gameshow it was so awful
And illegal, because the gameshow was fixed. But no one cared enough to actually prosecute it. It’s hilarious that his own incompetence protected him from the consequences of that incompetence.

Why does every YouTuber thumbnail make me want to punch them in the face?
The other day I was trying to get the facts on how effective it actually is for humans to digest grass out of curiosity, and underneath the unwelcome AI answers was a series of thumbnails of tiktoks / youtube shorts with people dressed like fucking clowns doing this thing where they put their face way too close to the camera, make a stupid face, and point at something.
Basically,
I mean not to be old man yelling at cloud but internet culture is making me hate everybody.
Edit: hate “content creators/influencers” and the people who like them.
drugged stalker is truly the internets greatest aberration, i have no idea what he owes his success to and i vaguely dislike him but i also watched him as a dumb teenager so i literally contributed
First mover advantage. He started his thing when standards were lower and there were way, way fewer people doing it.
I have 0 interest in any of these “live action remakes”, not a single one has managed to even match the originals, much less surpass them.
Animation is it’s own medium, it’s like trying to “remake” a sculpture by painting a picture of it
I understand this is slop for people who just pay for whatever movie so it doesn’t matter there’s no demand for it, but haven’t all of these dog shit live action remakes barely broken even at best? What is the incentive to keep wasting money on them?

IIRC lion king was a huge success, other releases like little mermaid still generated more revenue than their budget by factors of 1.5-2x, but that isn’t considered a success for a movie this big
something low on disney’s priority list but surely on there is that kids do generally like these movies. at least, I can see the justification for putting them into 3D CGI because I’ve seen my own daughter glaze her eyes over the original releases, but stay completely engaged with the 3D CGI versions.

IIRC the old rule of thumb for hollywood accounting is that marketing costs roughly the same as the movie’s budget. That’d make anything under 2x a loss.
isn’t the other rule of hollywood accounting that most of these numbers are manipulated from the get go?
Stop the slop in her formative years, don’t let your daughter fall to that trash
which 3d cg remakes have they made besides Lion King, Lady and the Tramp, and Pinocchio?
In addition to those ones, Snow White, Mulan, Aladdin and the new Lilo & Stitch come to mind. There’s also the spin-offs like Cruella and Peter Pan, and now spin-off sequels like Mufusa.
Oh we’re including the live action remakes as 3D cg? I get that they also use a lot of it but some like Snow White or Mulan don’t really use enough for me to even consider them hybrids.
Beauty and the Beast may as well get thrown in there along with Cinderella
I’m guessing CGI animators haven’t unionized yet
