The Hodag is not a mascot from Michigan it’s from Rhinelander, Wisconsin.
The strangest High School mascot in each state.

China’s first AI-generated theatrical film, ‘Sanxingdui: Future Past’, has bombed at their domestic box office, only making $121,000 USD against a budget of $1.5M USD. In contrast, the crudely animated ‘Niu Lai’ made nearly $10M USD against a budget of $200-500 USD.

Film culture escaping IMDB's boomer/gen x tyranny and being given a new place for younger people to consolidate around has opened up an entire generation to different kinds of movies and if the cost is being forced to see teenagers posting annoying reviews it's a fair tradeoff
Replying to @staticbluebat
people who are too young to remember a world before letterboxd really don't understand. it's been the most significant positive force for cinephilia of the century. for all its faults, it has completely changed film culture for the better

Many people don't know that along with his voice acting talent, Eric Bauza was a great cartoonist as well. His passing leaves behind a great big hole in the cartoon world, and he will be very missed. RIP

A not insignificant part of why one of my undergrad majors was in Spanish was so that I’d have it in the back pocket for my PhD language requirement
It’s clear that many people have no idea how much one getting a PhD in the humanities in the US is expected to learn before the dissertation proposal. I remember how impressed my family was that I had to learn three languages, and it was the most basic, preliminary requirement.
