@Archangel3371: You ever heard of getting dunked on? This is all entertainment to me lol. But please keep the defense going, it's on par with how I expected you to respond. 🙏
@jaydan: Whatever you need to tell yourself to try and feel better. Perhaps you need to get yourself a sippy cup. You spilling your cope everywhere. 🤣😂
@jaydan: I live in the cuts, big ol' plot of land. Step out my backdoor and you're in woods, for acres and acres. I've amassed some pretty freaking strange animal stories since we've been out here. Even some cryptid stuff, or at least stuff we can't explain.
But plenty of normal things too, or normal for here anyway. When we first got out here we had this little fawn that just showed up one day in a fenced area where we were putting the chicken coops, which weren't built yet at the time. The little guy was all spotted, cutest thing. He was there all day, just sleeping, and all day the next. Finally we had to do something about it so we went out there and this big buck shows up. He was just standing there at the edge of the lot looking at us. Fawn starts going crazy, jumping around and hitting its head into the fencing. This other deer just appears out of nowhere, a doe. She comes right up to the fence and the buck backs off. At this point I stay back and my husband goes in and picks up the fawn and carries it out of the lot, straight up to the doe. The buck is like fifteen feet away, and I'm praying he doesn't charge, lol. But he doesn't. Fawn is put at the doe's feet. Everyone goes their separate ways. It was weird behavior actually because the buck doesn't generally have anything to do with raising the fawn, or even protecting them. Not even sure if it "knew" the doe and fawn, never saw it again.
But we saw the doe again, and the fawn. Doe came back like a week later, right up to our house. Walked up to me, pretty close, and did this kind of soft blink at me, then left. This kind of thing happened several times for a while. We just let them live on the land, like we do with most animals that show up. It's a cool habitat.
@nod_eclipse_: That's pretty cool, and yeah I enjoy when animals visit my area too. I love watching birds, and I'll put the feeders out for them, and especially come around Spring my yard becomes a bird oasis. Also attract a lot of hummingbirds and those little darts are fun to watch.
It's a lot nicer than having a pet bird (very high maintenance animals for pets), to just create a sanctuary for them to visit. It's like having a pet without the commitment, and they can come and go as they please.
Although other animals sometimes get competitive for the bird feeders, especially the squirrels. I've literally observed squirrels basically pole dance spinning as they struggle to climb up the pole that holds up the feeders. Lol
I've found ways to deflect the crows too (these guys hog the food so I make it more difficult for them so the other birds get a chance). I've seen the crows hang upside-down like bats on the feeders after removing the main perch they latch onto, and others hopping like basketball players from the bottom trying to latch onto the food. I pretty much effectively made the crows into bottom feeders, waiting for the songbirds to drop morsels on the ground.
I feel like this would make a good thread in OT, wildlife encounters.
Regarding that F4 trailer, I'll still always prefer 2005 version as I like Michael Chiklis's The Thing as he brought the character justice. As it still stands, I never been a fan of F4 in any ways besides 2005. The new trailer did nothing for me. I like Pedro Pascal's acting ability but he's clearly miscast as Mr. Fantastic.
As far as MCU goes, still excited for Brave New World and DC's new Superman.
@TheEroica: Everyone (except for Phil) wants to dominate the other. Nintendo may have made a gimmicky console in the Switch, but for every game someone buys on the Switch it's one less sold on PS/Xbox and vice versa.
Now with Phil he's doing it the cowardly way, by putting one game, then two, then 3 and so on to try and soften the blow, for when MS goes full third party publisher only and ditch the Xbox, because let's face it that's why Phil/MS are trying to do.
That will ease the burden on Sony to put its games on other platforms, because once MS announce the elimination of hardware, smart money says that former lems will jump to PS, can't see many jumping to PC though.
So a 2 horse race opens up more money for the remaining players in Sony/Nintendo. Now both can be massive hits, if Nintendo decides to stay in its current lane, or they could flip the script after the Switch 2 and go with a full next gen (in terms of power) and go full on head to head with Sony, and I would love to see it.
I think the only certainty is MS leaving the hardware space after next gen, so MS planned next gen machine(s) will be the last.
But we can still have a little fun poking the cows though while this place is still around 🤣
Dang, I forgot to post this one, and now it's so late that it doesn't MAKE the post anymore. Oh well. Sonic got some crap in his eye.
Wish I could find my thread about Sonic's eyes, but it would get locked for no good reason.
That's not eye stuff (i.e. sclera). It's just white fur. You can see his real eyelids closing over those black ovals which are his actual eyes. The ridges above the white fur is the forehead/brow, which can furrow.
A little known fact too is that this triangle coming off of Sonic's head is like, some slick front hair. You know like those 50's greasers got from when their hair wasn't 100% perfect, because that's how you know they're trouble. Something is out of order but they just don't care.

I searched for images and found that Archie Comics gave him eyelids as well. Most of the time.
This early American commercial also gave him eyelids.

So the animators of the Jaleel White cartoons are almost alone in their failure.
@warm_gun: This just happens with a lot of cel animated cartoons in general. A lot of the time they looked off model. That was before they had style guides for kid's shows (or comics). Now people care enough because they grew up with love for that.
Sometimes they also made poor aesthetic choices because they just had no taste IMO. But now that stuff has become camp, and can be accepted in some situations.

Oh, I've gone to war with the squirrels many times. My baffle system is literally rocket science at this point.
Anyway yeah you should do the wildlife thing in OT. Be a nice change for that place. I'd post a bunch in there, got endless experiences to share.
Watched the Super Mario Bros. movie last night. Paper thin story but pretty entertaining watch nonetheless. Thought the cast for the characters was a solid selection. Jack Black did an excellent Bowser. Nice looking visuals and animations. Got a kick out of seeing all the game references and stuff. Pretty funny as well, especially the dark humour from lumalee (the blue star character). Would certainly be interested in a sequel and am also interested in seeing movies for other Nintendo properties like Zelda and Metroid.

Do you get to see Mario's big blue balls because the princess is in another castle shagging Bowser 🤭

It is a pretty solid entry and delivers for the target audience.
@Archangel3371: Fixation? So you mention something once and you're fixated, that's just a weird analogy by you.
And the fact you can't seem to identify an obvious joke is pretty bad considering all the years you've been on here, stop being so sensitive all the time 🤦♂️
@Archangel3371: Still waiting on this proof to your claim, maybe go get your buddy Pedro to help you find it after you guys finish hugging your sensitivity out 🤣

The Mario movie is forgettable. Not a bad time, but there was barely anything memorable about it, it was in one eye and out the other. I kinda want to see what would happen if they got the Hotel Transylvania people to do the movie!

But is it forgettable for kids? The target demographic.🤔
I honestly don't really see grown-ups watching a Mario flick expecting, I dunno, to be engaged in it? It's Mario, come on. My kid freaking loved it to the moon and back. That's who the movie was made for, so works for me. Nothing against anyone that digs it, though.
You can have thought provoking, scary, everything in a children's media when it's done right.
Two good examples being The Iron Giant and Oliver! 1968, which itself is a musical, people hopping around lalala, repeated many times, but nobody comes close to Oliver Reed as Bill Sikes. Legit scary character.

I mean you see him murder her and get hanged like the people found out who Jack The Ripper was. Clever, hides it.

Surprised this got shown so early in the UK.
Weird mish-mash of jolly wolly sing-along and extremely dark, which makes it more interesting.
