It looks like the director for this (Grant Singer) has 'only' done Music Videos before this. It'll be interesting to see where he ends up on lists like: RANKED: MUSIC VIDEO DIRECTORS TURNED FILM DIRECTORS - David Fincher seems the undisputed winner of this, but others seem hit-or-miss (ignoring questions of metacritic's own validity for the moment)

Thanks. Its a beautiful vid. Maybe the "(feat. Spike)" is self-evident for more clued-in fans than me, but if not, it means that the YouTuber got Steve Blum (voice artist for Spike from Cowboy Bebop) to read the "Tears in the Rain" speech from Blade Runner

For me, being stuck at 'Subscribe Pending' does seem to happen for KBIN mags, but it isn't exclusive to them. Whenever it happens, it does the mad thing of bringing everything though up to the point I tried to subscribe, but nothing after.

To fix it, you can often - but not always - go to the source Mag or Community, and find a semi-recent post from after you subscribed, and copy the absolute link (e.g. https://kbin.social/m/science/t/383186/Visualizing-the-mysterious-dance-Quantum-entanglement-of-photons-captured-in), then go to your instance and post that in the Search field. And then the change the thing your searching for from 'Communities' to 'Posts', and then wait a bit, and then click the link if it shows up.

This tends to force through the change past 'Pending', and from then things will start turning up.

Memes like this are very finely engineered, using only the very latest, bleeding-edge version of Microsoft Paint, and I felt that putting "I'm (pretending to be) a Bombad General. My loyalty is (not really) to Naboo" would ruin the artistry.

Ha, thanks.

Maybe you already know, but your 'Mark Hamill' post has been subbed to !bestoflemmy@lemmy.world, btw.

Things are finally taking off for me in this Community - I've made something, and I've got some feedback: "okay"

"That's high praise!", as Nic Cage would say.

Technically, this is the second post.

The first one didn't yield much booty, though

For the studios, eager for Box Office profits, I would've thought all films were equally important.
The Creator doesn't have actors with the same promotional clout as Timothée Chalamet or Zendaya, but - as things stand - it's still likely to end up without having received any promotion at all from its writers or its cast.
Maybe it's just that Disney are more worried about been seen to be reacting to the strikes than Warners Bros. are.

Assumed this would be straight on Prime with it being Amazon Studios, but it's getting a cinema release first (on October 6th)

Interesting that it's not getting its release delayed like Dune Part 2 (both films share a cinematographer, so if Dune had always been planned for March, then they could have used Greg Frasier more on The Creator, ironically enough).

I prefer this poster to the IMAX version:

I have Feelings about certain instances (too unreliable, too much interference, too little / too much moderation on certain specialised instances) so that helps me choose. It's not something you necessarily get right first try.

Saw a slug in my kitchen the other night. I read a news article once about a boy who ate a slug as a dare and ended up dying a grim death, so now I'm paranoid that one is going to slime its way across something I eat (or eat from) and the same thing will happen to me.

So today, I need to look into how to deter the little fellows.

Onion Rings from HOT STUFF may well give you a 'run through with a lightsabre' feeling.

The data could be better if I used the API or added the information from lemmyverse.net on the total subscriber counts but I spent a lot of time on this as is and don’t know how to use the API.

Your approach may have ended up being for the best. lemmyverse.net can't index lemmy.world (broken DB => broken API => "well, we didn't want to be part of the fediverse anyway"), and if you'd tried to use their API yourself, it might have totalled your project the same way it did for lemmyverse.

The instance I'm on was down for scheduled maintenance earlier today. If you're on lemmy.world, and that phrase is unfamiliar, 'scheduled maintenance' is when your server isn't available, but you were given plenty of notice beforehand and it comes back better.

The admin mentioned that he's moved about 100GB of images over to a new service.

I thought I understood how images were federated. I thought that it was just text that was shared between instances (including a link to wherever an image was uploaded first), but it seems like many images are copied all over.

To use one 3.54MB example, uploaded by a sopuli.xyz member for a post to !gameart@sopuli.xyz:

Anyway, as to the main question, I believe that everything should be moved from lemmy.world in its current state, so 'yes'.

"Lonely, I'd imagine".
"Since Lemmy died, yes"

(only joking, of course)
