The most annoying thing about being famous is having to tell everyone how famous you are.

I just spent the last 3-4 months working on a deep dive video essay on the 2005 movie Hoodwinked and I'm about to upload it to the YouTube channel for an Esports League.

Well, the video will be public as soon as YouTube stops claiming the video because I play the Kieth section.

He had AI Tupac tell people that liking young girls is a gift.

Edit: that isn't a joke

The comic doesn't mention how MANY plants they can identify... Just that it's multiple...

"Yes... This is grass alright... And this one? Tree..."

Maybe even hit them with the classic "you can tell it's an aspin because of the way it is"

It's unfortunate that you have to add "depending on jurisdiction"

No low balling. I know what I have.

This is a screenshot from a social media app. I haven't quite figured out which one since I don't use it but a friend of mine posts these all the time.

DDG has fallen off HARD recently. They definitely aren't what they used to be.

Like the other guy said. Results quality and pushing more ads instead of results.

Mostly just results quality and starting to push more ads instead of real results. I can't provide any real stats but I have been very frustrated with it and had to switch out and I know a few others who had.

I considered titling it something like "I found a classic" but I figured there's always people who haven't ever seen it and I'd like them to get the same experience as others who got to see it the first time.

That might be a problem for a lot of people depending on what app they use.

Edit: I changed the title to make it known that it's supposed to move

I've actually seen Big Money Hustlas (the things you do for love...) and so I CAN talk about the quality of the ICP movies.

The entire movie feels like a group of friends got together and just started recording. Outside of the fact that the character Baby Bear keeps rhyming everything, nothing else feels scripted or rehearsed at all. It really just feels like they had a story idea and recorded every scene improv style.

The movie itself is a tribute to Rudy Ray Moore, the Dolemite movies, and blaxsploitation in general... all things that I am actually a massive fan of. However, the world of ICP seems to lack a lot of black people... So while it's definitely intended as a love letter to these movies (ICP clearly loves the source material and was trying to show that) the movie definitely can come off a lot closer to appropriation than anything at times. Especially with ICP calling everyone "my ninja" which never feels good to watch.

Overall it's a movie that I can't say I regret watching as it showcases all of what I love about a genre that I love but if you don't care about blaxsploitation or Dolemite then it'll probably just be the negatives with none of those elements of love showing through.

The movie is a massive allegory for being trans.
