Crows: smart enough to not only remember but convey to their buddies which humans were nice to them that one time and which were jerks, but dumb enough to get their heads stuck in fences, apparently.
There are humans who manage to get their dicks stuck in toasters I really don’t think we get to judge
It passed Beauty and the Beast ($503 million in 2017) on Monday to become the ninth-biggest domestic grosser of all time, and it should pass Rogue One: A Star Wars Story ($532m in 2016/2017) and The Dark Knight ($534m in 2008) early this weekend. Once that happens, it will be the second-biggest comic book superhero flick in North America behind The Avengers ($623m in 2012) and thus Chadwick Boseman will be able to call himself America’s Mightiest Hero. Now if you want to note inflation, it’s a slightly more complicated story.
As of today, with $512 million domestic, Black Panther is the eighth-biggest comic book adaptation (superhero or otherwise) behind Superman ($134m in 1978/$527m adjusted), The Dark Knight Rises ($448m in 2012/$528m adjusted), Spider-Man 2 ($373m in 2004/$552m adjusted), Batman ($251m in 1989/$577m adjusted), Spider-Man ($403m in 2002/$637m adjusted), The Dark Knight ($534m in 2008/$683m adjusted) and The Avengers ($623m in 2012/$704m adjusted).It will pass at least two of those by Sunday and at least four of them by the time it ends its theatrical run. Those last three biggies are harder mountains to climb.
Still, a lot fewer people go to the movies in 2018 than they did in 1989 or even 2008 (or even 2012), so a movie pulling down a $600 million+ domestic gross in the middle of Winter despite competition from VOD, Netflix, TV, YouTube and the like is a very impressive thing. In terms of worldwide grosses, it’s already the seventh-biggest comic book flick behind only the Dark Knight sequels, the Avengers flicks and the respective third Captain America and Iron Man movies. It should pass the Batman movies and Captain America: Civil War, along with possibly Iron Man 3 ($1.2b in 2013), but the last two Avengers flicks ($1.4b in 2015 and $1.5b in 2012) may be a bridge too far.
please lord let them beat avatar
I think it will beat Avatar because you figure this movie hasn’t even been out a full month and it’s already made a billion dollars movies are usually kept in the theater for three to three and a half months sometimes 4 if they’re very successful so shit might be hitting on 1.7
There’s only so many ideas, and no matter what you think up, some aspect of it will have been done before. If you start from an original place and accidentally have a lot in common with a piece that has already been done people can always tell the differences. HOWEVER people can always tell when you’ve started from copying something else then just “changed it enough” to make it yours. The bones are obvious.
A good example is these Star Wars posters. The idea of having a painted figure/scene inside type has been done a hundred thousand times. But there’s no way you’d end up at the same font, the same parchment background, and the same coloration to the images if you hadn’t started from the originals. Inspiration is great. But the trick is to be inspired by more than one thing at a time. That will always save you from copying too closely. Here’s a good example of how inspirations should work.
And beware, clients will want you to copy things they have seen all the time. Always try to explain that you can be inspired by something, you can’t outright copy it, or the internet will always know. Pitch it not as you refusing to do the work they want, but as you being an educated artist who is trying to save the client from scandal. Break down with them what they like about the piece they want you to copy, then make a piece that solves the same problems in a different way.
So no, don’t worry if you genuinely stumble on the same ideas as a piece before — there will always be enough differences in style and execution to tell the difference. But beware looking too closely at too few pieces of inspiration for a piece, because that’s when you get in trouble, and it’ll be your reputation on the line.
I’m really high right now and I couldn’t find my phone so I was like “Alexaaaaaaaaaaaaa find phone” and she called my phone for me she’s like a wife I’m gonna marry Alexa because she knows where my phone is,,,,, I love technology
I woke up this morning and on the Alexa app it’ll give you a string of posts of what you asked Alexa and I told Alexa I loved her 37 separate times with the last one being “good night I love you” and her response being “good night, sweet dreams”
Her (2013 dir. Spike Jonze)
So this is how we all die alone, encased in our commodified bubbles of technological alienation. Honestly posts like this make me naseaus and my skin crawl.
then don’t fuckin comment lol go outside and fuck a tree or w/e
