    Nah, I mean that even thought they look so picture perfect, my brain just doesn’t see them as real, and parks them in the same category as a cartoon.

    Whereas a practical effect, might look hilariously bad, but sometime a jello filled, papier-mache head exploding, is the perfect amount of gore to make me wince.

    My theory is that since practical effects ultimately rely on physics of the world we occupy, that despite their unpolished look, they feel more real. The hyper realistic, but completely reality breaking effects of today just hit the same way cartoons do.

    Speaking of cartoons, I love finding the shortcuts that animators would take, there’s something so artistic about how they did it.

    I am just so much more engaged when I can watch a movie while also trying to figure out how they pulled off an effect.









  • I think I’ve eaten at a cracker barrel twice, both times were on a roadtrip and it was the most established place off an interstate exit, so purely convenience. I haven’t the first clue what they even offer, I just assume it’s all chicken fried and covered with gravy.

    That there are people out there absolutely losing their mind over the logo change is one of the most confusing things I’ve ever seen. Who. Fucking. Cares? Goddamn, the group that likes to call everyone else a snowflake, sure is the most infantile people on earth.

    That said, I’ll avoid cracker barrel from here on. I really don’t want to be near the sort of people who frequent that establishment. Kudos to them for so proudly self-identifying…
