Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are 1994 makes me want a 2 hour long Michael Bay musical

Blender DumbassIn 1994, just before Bad Boys Michael Bay directed a music video for a song "Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are" by Meat Loaf ( Michael Lee Aday ), which shows striking resemblance to his 2001 film Pearl Harbor and has some interesting choices that echo throughout his career. Choices that beg for a psycho-sexual analysis.

Introducing the Fediverse Fandomhood Gimmick
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/get_access_fedi.jpg)
Blender DumbassAn article or so ago I wrote about a gimmick I had in mind to gamify the Fediverse a little bit. I wanted to encourage people to like / boost and comment things on the fedi.
Today this gimmick is already fully implemented.
Pulp Fiction 1994 is kind a amateurish actually

Blender DumbassQuentin Tarantino and Roger Avary at some point in their early film-maker lives came up with a bunch of tiny little stories that they wanted to develop into movies. And one day a stroke of genius struck these two. Those little stories could be told together as one film, with interconnected characters. Quentin took off with the concept and wrote the final script. And then took off with said final script and made the movie itself. A movie that a lot of people consider to be one of the greatest masterpieces ever made. Yet, with that, re-watching it for this review, it struck me how amateurish the movie feels, despite its greatness.
One of things that slightly annoyed me on this re-watch...
Avatar: Fire and Ash 2025 is very horny WTF
![[thumbnail]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/95/Avatar_Fire_and_Ash_poster.jpeg/250px-Avatar_Fire_and_Ash_poster.jpeg){kind=avatar}
Blender DumbassAvatar: Fire and Ash adds a new villain to the Avatar universe, in a form of Varang ( Oona Chaplin, a grand-daughter of Charlie Chaplin ), an evil Na'vi lady with a tribe of fire-hungry psychopaths, traumatized by the shier insanity of human destruction. As she says in the film, when she was little she witnessed a huge fire ( probably caused by human machines ) that destroyed a lot of the forest. There was no Eywa to save them, or provide for them, so she turned to the "dark side", so to speak. So how the writer and director James Cameron show that she is evil? Well, she rapes people.

Did Petitions Fail? How AI ruined it? A new Fediverse gimmick?

Blender DumbassTalking about why Petitions failed. And thinking up a new idea of how to gamify engagement on the Fediverse.
Is clarity in action a bad thing?
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/CGI_cars_michael_bay.jpg)
Blender DumbassI often hear how good action film-making is always clear and easy to follow. Camera isn't shaking like crazy and editing isn't filled with ADHD mania. Yet the more I think about it the less this makes sense.

PeerTube | Making Addon Karts for SuperTuxKart
![[thumbnail]](https://peer.madiator.cloud/lazy-static/thumbnails/playlist-a1b6d474-c3d6-4516-b1be-1c9b95615d29.jpg)
Blender DumbassAs you probably have guessed by my username, I know Blender. And I also know how to make SuperTuxKart addons. So I decided to make a Fedi-based series of tutorials explaining how I go from zero to a finished addon. This first part focuses on Karts ( since they are a bit simpler).
Predator: Badlands 2025 is like Avatar 2009 but Horror
![[thumbnail]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/90/Predator_Badlands_Poster.jpg/250px-Predator_Badlands_Poster.jpg)
Blender DumbassPredator: Badlands is Dan Trachtenberg's third Predator movie after Prey 2022 and Killer of the Killers 2025. And strangely enough non of these movies have any kind of connection to one other. They are not sequels. They are stand alone films, different in style and tone. Telling different stories and having different structure. The only thing that binds them together, so to speak, is the fact that they are all technically a part of the Predator franchise.
Red Heat 1988 is unintentionally funny for those who speak Russian
![[thumbnail]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/af/Red_Heat.jpg/250px-Red_Heat.jpg)
Blender DumbassOur main character Ivan Danko ( Arnold Schwarzenegger ) is introduced with a shot showing his magnificent muscular butt-cheeks, right before a fight breaks out between naked men in the snow, all trying to scream words and sentences in Russian, sounding utterly stupid doing so. That is how Red Heat, a 1988 Walter Hill movie, begins.
A Thought Expeiment to Understand Sexual Abuse

Blender DumbassToday I have an interesting thought experiment for you about specifically the hot topic of 2025-2026: Child Sexual Abuse.
We need to start Forking Software more!
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/fork.png)
Blender DumbassAs pointed out in my last article, the developers of UPBGE ( a game engine I use for my game ) decided to include slop-code into the software. And starting with version 0.5 it is "tainted by Ai". After that post I found a small repository on codeberg, which lists various other programs that are also sloppy. At first I sunk in with the feeling of dread and a desire to give up. Even the Linux Kernel was mentioned.
But then...
UPBGE ( the blender game engine ) is now AI slop

Blender DumbassUPBGE 0.5 release notes state that Ai was used to write the code.
The Killing of a Sacred Deer 2017 is Yorgos Lanthimos's attempt to show Lars Von Trier how to properly corrupt the audience
![[thumbnail]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8f/The_Killing_of_a_Sacred_Deer.png)
Blender DumbassI was afraid of 2017 absurdist horror film by Yorgos Lanthimos The Killing of a Sacred Deer, because I know it involves a murder of a child. Ever since Lars Von Trier utterly traumatized me with his depiction of this very thing in The House That Jack Built I avoid movies like this. But seeing Bugonia the other day, where I attempted to psycho-sexually analyse Lanthimos, I realized that I avoided a movie that potentially has a lot of what I need for such an analysis. So I braved myself and saw the damn film. Now I think the film was about corrupting the audience enough that they would feel good about a child being murdered. I'm not joking. That is how the movie is structured.
PeerTube | Age Verification and Chat Controll are FUCKING STUPID!!!
