This happened to be drawn during a kite festival (think it was in Weifang), but unfortunately didn't finish it before it ended. I forgot Qi Dandan's silk sleeves here but eh.

@ZangBerries It's sad to see Tokusatsu transition from a 'physical' medium that relied on the interaction of its practical effects to one that increasingly relies on CGI, often to the detriment of the craft.

Always thought Takaichi was crazy and that the LDP would choose her crazy ass to lead over the nepo baby idiot and yeah, I was right. The below is scary but not surprising…
Takaichi Sanae's views on WW2/history, from a 2004 column on her website: •textbooks should feature "the great achievements of our predecessors" •Japan's "overseas advances" should not be called "aggression" •"it is clear that Japan's intent was to fight a defensive war"

Wow. What a night. My first time attending American Cinematheque partner Beyond Fest, for a special screening of Toshiya Fujita’s amazing film “Lady Snowblood” at the Egyptian Theatre, with legendary actress and singer Meiko Kaji in attendance. Stay tuned for my interview.

“As an auteur, Suzuki Seijun stands on a single point in space: one without time, thickness, or expanse, where things and colors swing and sway without direction.”—Shiguéhiko Hasumi TOKYO DRIFTER screens next Thursday 10/9: https://t.co/YH0RkTfhjm

All true. But if the normies don't complain (and they won't) then it's unstoppable. Most people don't even know they're listening to music and consuming art entirely created by machines. They don't want to understand and they wouldn't care if they did understand.
The part of Orwell's 1984 that everyone forgets is how human music has been replaced by soulless, machine-generated pop songs. The AI attempt to take over the film and music industries is an attack on the human spirit. Boycott AI actors. Boycott AI bands. Support human artists.

I've had some people come up to me and say they wish they could log this on Letterboxd I wonder, is that's actually possible?

Enjoying all the critiques about the new PTA film from a non-white perspective. Makes me happy to finally say that I'm not a cinephile in the most earnest sense. Okay, back to radio silence.
