Someone used Blender to clean up the Terminator 1 endoskeleton finale:
[StoRyx K; December 20th, 2019]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdevFNWh4to
It still looks a little off, but it's an improvement for sure. This person also did the effects for that mirror scene, but while it was also an improvement.. it's still pretty bad..
Reminds me.. I've said before (maybe here?) that Terminator 1 is my favorite due to the intensity and relentlessness, but Terminator 2 has much better effects. So making a project of cleaning up Terminator 1 would make it the best all around for me :p

it looks like he was trying to match the movement for the most part, so if the movement seemed odd it would still seem odd (although w/o real terminators walking around it's hard to judge properly what movements should look like :p... get on that, Zuckermusk)

That's a heckin' good hippo!

..
Yeah.. having to match the movements is a limitation. To do it perfectly he'd have to re-roto the entire scene. But the limitation for me was just that some of the glossiness still looks off. Like, it looks crisper than the original, but even the metal puppet was correctly reflecting light. It might just be a matter of spending more time on the metal textures.

A wax figure of former President Donald Trump was removed from display at Louis Tussaud’s Waxworks in San Antonio because customers kept punching and scratching it.

“We’ve always had trouble with the presidential section because no matter what president it was — Bush, Obama or Trump — they’ve all had people beat them,” Clay Stewart, regional manager for Ripley Entertainment, told the San Antonio Express-News.

Stewart told the newspaper that the Trump figure was beaten badly enough to leave deep marks on its waxy face, necessitating its move to storage.

Stewart said a figure of former President Barack Obama lost its ears six times, while former President George W. Bush’s figure had its nose punched in.

Peeps in the comments seem to be making behavioral arguments more so than video-related. Video-related peeps point out the reflection/shadow being off compared to the door frame, but that's not accurate (it's the same angle). Tough to say more with that level of video quality. If this person had a better recording device, we'd have a better idea ;p ..So .. at this video quality, looks real to me :p

Some very problematic video of Kylo Ren has re-surfaced from a 2019 video. From a top comment, the First Order has issued this statement:
“The First Order condemns Mr. Ren’s behavior in every way possible, we may want to take over the galaxy, but we want to do it in a way where all people of color are equally suppressed . We have at this time let go of Mr. Rens and expired his contract early. We hope to learn from this and continue to take over the galaxy with evil leaders who aren’t racist. Thank you and may we get the rebel scum”

Glitter Bomb 3.0 .. part 2!
"Glitterbomb Trap Catches Phone Scammer (who gets arrested)"
[Mark Rober; March 18th, 2021]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrKW58MS12g

On the one hand, he confirms that phone scams basically just trick old people, but he also shows that the money transfer process has become fairly sophisticated. The emotional manipulation is also sickening.
While wondering about the type of sickos who can do that: I had a roommate years ago who had worked at a debt collection agency — sadistic and manipulative personality type to have that kind of job. A total parasite. Part of the mentality was that he saw himself as inherently better than anyone that he could manipulate, so the mechanism of remorse was nonexistent — it was all justified. He would even collect "friends" based entirely on whether or not he could use them for advancement. Really terrible people out there.

Rapper and singer Lil Nas X is launching a controversial pair of "Satan Shoes" featuring a bronze pentagram, an inverted cross and a drop of real human blood.

The black and red sneakers, part of a collaboration between Lil Nas X and New York-based art collective MSCHF, were made using Nike Air Max 97s, though the sportswear brand has distanced itself from the design.

In an emailed statement to CNN, Nike said it was not involved in creating the modified sneakers. "We do not have a relationship with Lil Nas or MSCHF," the company said. "Nike did not design or release these shoes and we do not endorse them."

Launching as a limited-edition "drop" of 666 pairs, each shoe's air bubble sole contains 60 cubic centimeters (2.03 fluid ounces) of red ink and "one drop" of human blood, according to MSCHF. They are priced at $1,018 a pair, a reference to the Bible passage Luke 10:18 that reads: "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven."

A MSCHF spokesperson said the blood had been provided by members of the art collective, adding: "We love to sacrifice for our art." The group also confirmed to CNN that Nike was "not involved in this in any capacity."

I like the idea (Hail Satan!).. but Nike shoes? :\
And if Nike wasn't involved, then they may as well have replaced the Nike logos with more Satanic symbols. Such a wasted opportunity ;p
I do like the little upside-down crosses on the shoe-tongue pullers. That detail may be the *only* neat thing about the shoes, actually. Not enough blood for sure, and everything else looks silly ;p
Probably a good marketing move, though. I'd never heard of him until now.

"apparently citizen's arrests don't work how this guy was very sure they did"

Lulz. That reminds me of a cheesy sketch that was on "Sonny and Cher". I can't find the clip, but it was a guilt-ridden guy turning himself into a police station for some kind of minor crime like jay-walking. The officer (Sonny, I think) laughed him off and told him that people commit petty crimes all the time, and that he himself (the officer) had done things like smoke in elevators. So the guy declares that he's making a citizen's arrest. I think he even grabs Sonny's pistol ;p

But yeah.... I think for a citizen's arrest to actually work, there has to be force to back it up and the force needs to be necessary.. like a crowd subduing a crazy person.

"this is part 2 of the tweet w/ photos of suspect (tweeter didn't link it properly)"

I went through his other Tweets, and that user does that a lot (he doesn't nest his comments by replying to himself). I also blame Twitter for their poorly organized interface, though. You'd think that a billion-dollar company would have a much more intuitive layout for tracking conversations. I sometimes wonder if website design peaked with Utopia ;D

..anyways, that Twitter user follows up by saying that the building employees claimed that they "closed door because perpetrator had knife".. but those employees also let someone walk past them into the supposed danger that they were avoiding:
(1/2)
http://twitter.com/CeFaanKim/status/1377436686301474819
(2/2)
http://twitter.com/CeFaanKim/status/1377436853050089477
..so they're just not great people.

The kicker too, of course. Brandon Elliot, 38, was on lifetime parole after serving a murder sentence, so he's basically fucked legally. Normally, that might be a year or two in jail if the book were thrown at him, but he could go back to jail for life now unless his lawyer can assure a judge that Elliot will be in a well-funded rehabilitation program that keeps him away from people. I kind of doubt the community or a wealthy donor will rally behind him for that result.

On Tuesday, March 30, 2021, Memphis Police responded to a shooting at Burger King located at 5305 Winchester Road.

Upon arriving on the scene, officers were advised that a female customer got angry regarding the wait time to be served at the drive-thru window. The female got out of the front passenger seat of a mid-sized, four-door, gray sedan and approached the drive-thru window. A verbal altercation ensued between the female patron and the workers. Video surveillance shows the suspect retrieve a black handgun from the vehicle, extend her upper body through the drive-thru window, and fire several shots at the Burger King workers.

I guess that makes sense... Like "Super Size Me" (2004) taught us, fast food diets can result in mood/emotion dysregulation; insulin function deregulates, so moods can become volatile. A balanced diet can make the peaks and troughs of insulin more stable, but a fast food diet can keep people between severe insulin spikes/highs and insulin crashes/lows. People become less patient, more violent, more easily frustrated, less able to solve problems — a sugar-crashing person is not a fun customer ;D

A Minnesota man was arrested Wednesday after he allegedly trapped a police officer's arm in his truck window while attempting to flee, and then attacking him with the officer's own rescue hammer, police said.

The officer was attempting to stop the suspect, Luke Alvin Oeltjenbruns, 61, after an alleged assault over wearing a mask was reported at a Menards home improvement store in Hutchinson, a city about 60 miles west of Minneapolis.

Hutchinson Police Chief Tom Gifferson told CNN the officer approached the suspect's truck and was standing on a running board on the driver's side when the suspect rolled up the window, trapping the officer's arm, and drove away with the officer clinging to the vehicle, reaching speeds up to 40 mph.

The officer used his rescue hammer to break the window to free his own arm, but the suspect took the hammer and began striking the officer in the head with it, Gifferson said.

Police had responded to the Menards store after a report of a man assaulting an employee with lumber in a dispute over wearing a mask, according to a Hutchinson Police statement.

Police arrested Oeltjenbruns and booked him on first-degree assault.

"Disgusting rules that are false.. and not true."

I think that's what happens when people get used to memes being enough to end a discussion online, but then they have to deal with the real world where you can't just repeat things ;D

more turtle news (turtle was allegedly fine):

A 71-year-old woman riding with her daughter on Florida’s Interstate 95 suffered a gashed forehead Wednesday when a turtle smashed through the windshield of their car, striking her, the Daytona Beach News-Journal reports.

The daughter pulled over and got help from another motorist. According to a 911 recording, both were surprised by what they found.

“There is a turtle in there,” the man can be overheard saying.

“A turtle!” the daughter exclaimed. “An actual turtle?”

The gash drew a lot of blood, but the woman was not seriously hurt. The turtle was likely crossing the interstate and got knocked into the air by another vehicle.

“I swear to God this lady has the worst luck of anything,” the daughter told the 911 operator as she tended to her injured mother.

The turtle, on the other hand, had the best luck of anything — it just had a few scratches on its shell and was released back into the nearby woods, Port Orange police officer Andre Fleming said.

Neighborhoods in several different southern New Hampshire towns were rocked by a mysterious explosion Tuesday night.

Kingston police say the blast was caused by a family using explosives to reveal the gender of their baby.

Chief Donald Briggs said the blast happened at Torromeo Industries on Dorre Road around 7 p.m.

“It was earth-shaking,” said a neighbor on Dorre Road.

It shook houses in surrounding neighborhoods and was even captured on a doorbell camera from the next town over. The Taglieris called 911 and waited for Kingston police.

In the meantime, social media lit up. People as far south as the Merrimack Valley were wondering what had happened.

Some claimed it was an earthquake, but that’s not the case. Our team of meteorologists said there were no earthquakes reported around that time.

Kingston police confirm it was a gender reveal using explosives.

Authorities are still investigating but they believe the people involved used a legal explosive called Tannerite and had permission to be on the Torromeo Industries property.

“It cracked foundations of our neighbors' [homes],” Matt Taglieri said. “I don’t know how that’s right.”

Police say they’ve seen the gender reveal video and confirm -- it’s a boy. And while neighbors are well aware of this explosive new trend they say this gender reveal is too much for a small town.

“It was ridiculous,” Sara said. “I don’t have any other words for it.”

Briggs said investigators are looking into possible property damage and that there could be charges in this case.

a different article claims 80 pounds of tannerite (where 1-2 pounds usually used to explosively reveal gender)

I wonder if top seagull stabbed the other a little bit too much at the end there, hence the snap..

"turtle takes offense at lions consuming his habitat"
lol@1:40 where the lioness licks the turtle :D

"somebody ripped off UGT's sword dicks comics thing!"
That's actually *way* too similar.. like... I wonder if someone from UGT actually made that.

I tried to redo that clip using a 4K version of the Matrix, but I couldn't get it to encode properly. It kept rendering with green frames and choppy repeat frames. :/
..may try again later

Okay, the issue was with a badly encoded file. I used Handbrake to get a better version and then re-made it:

"i can't see instagram without an account... not sure if that's new... seems new"

They've been slowly eroding into the lurker market with their scroll restrictions, but I can at least say it worked for me despite not having an Instagram. This direct link might work better:

Oh, above I mentioned, "short-loop gif art. There's a special name for that, but I can't think of it atm"

I just ran across the term. It's "cinemagraphs"..
Incidentally, I'm using this Matrix gif as an excuse to figure out how to do higher quality gifs. Part of it is increasing the frame rate with interpolation effects. Hopefully this works out so I can improve my meme game. This sort of thing would have taken hours with my former computer :D

Sometimes you just have to love what you are .. Like Achilles ("I was born, and this is what I am.") ;)

The people who consistently Phish my oldest e-mail address have come up with some new entertainments:
"GREETINGS, FR0M THE ILLUMINATI W0RLD ELITE EMPIRE. BRINGING THE P00R, THE NEEDY AND THE TALENTED T0 LIMELIGHT 0F FAME, RICHES, P0WERS AND SECURITY, GET REC0GNIZED IN Y0UR BUSINESS, P0LITICAL RACE, RISE T0 THE T0P IN WHATEVER Y0U D0, BE PR0TECTED SPIRITUALLY AND PHYSICALLY! ALL THESE Y0U WILL ACHIEVE IN A TWINKLE 0F AN EYE WHEN Y0U GET INITIATED T0 THE GREAT ILLUMINATI EMPIRE. 0NCE Y0U ARE INITIATED T0 THE ILLUMINATI EMPIRE Y0U WILL GET NUMER0US BENEFITS AND REWARD."

I somehow doubt that the Illuminati recruits through blind e-mails, but I'll go ahead and preemptively give them all of my credit card information.

Joel Haver cartoon addresses something that Seinfeld would have addressed if the show had aired in this generation:
"When a character speaks a different language but doesn't get subtitles"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xK3IYMRZ4EA

..I recently (maybe two months ago?) re-watched "30 Days of Night" (2007), and I experienced the same situation. The vampires speak an ancient language, but the subtitles on Hulu were non-existent. I had to find some random forum posts saying that the vampires definitely had subtitles in the theatrical release.. so Hulu just messed up was all :p
