spent a good 2 hours trying to get a workflow to automatically generate beat markers and when I finally got it all working they were just in the wrong place πŸ‘οΈ

lesson learnt, just manually add beat timings with a keyboard shortcut

need to do some video editing for the first time in a while, so gonna try out kdenlive

final world background to be done is to redo this one with all the knowledge I've gained from every other background

this was the second one I made after the initial prototype version of Purple Mountains, and it's a bit barren and drab compared to everything else

getting the urge to try manage personal finances with ledger again

I think what was tripping me up before was just lack of automation causing too much friction. And while I don't think my bank offers transaction exports to feed into ledger, my transactions are predictable and infrequent enough that xact (which I didn't know about the first time I tried) will hopefully smooth most of it over

@Longplay_Games yeah it's a common complaint i've heard, almost impossible to prevent at least one bad actor doing bad actor things

but did you pay for it, and did you find the experience worth it overall? like did it help boost numbers?

very big Y2ROLL announcement saturday

any mutuals have any experience with Keymailer? they keep spamming my inbox

Jaw dropped at this end-card. God bless 2001, man.

Speaking of guys who are in this, Rimmer's here! He's in it a weirdly little amount, as he kinda just evaporates after the beginning, and they can't quite make up their mind how they want to characterise him.

It was kinda refreshing to have the villain be the Illuminati. You don't hear much about them, these days, huh? I guess that conspiracy has just been completely displaced by "deep state" crap, which is less funny and like 500 times more dangerous.

I think Angelina Jolie is very mis-cast. I understand why you'd cast her as Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, but she's just not believable as a posh English person. She also acts like how you'd have the brash American act to contrast to the more prim and proper British person. Cannot do the accent, either.

The flip side of this is Daniel Craig, who for some ungodly reason is doing an awful American accent. Why not just have him be English?

🎬️ watched Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)

It's okay, but a bit too low energy with way too little happening. By far the best parts are when it gets blisteringly 2001. This might be the most 2001 movie there is.

The image is a movie poster for "Tomb Raider," featuring a woman in the center (Angelina Jolie). She is wearing a black sleeveless top and black shorts with a gold belt buckle shaped like a skull. Her hair is styled in a long braid. She is holding a gun in her right hand and has a determined expression. The background is a blue color with a circular, intricate design, possibly representing ancient symbols or a mystical artifact. The title "LARA CROFT TOMB RAIDER" is prominently displayed in large, metallic letters at the bottom of the poster. Additional text at the bottom indicates the release date as "IN THEATRES JUNE 15".

Also this is your classic "higher up purposefully puts dumb guy who's going to fail in charge so the thing fails", but it does not make sense how him failing in the case benefits the boss at all? It's not like he wants rid of him, we fucking bus him in. It's not like "ooh, actually, we can swoop in and take the credit now that he's succeeded" because he doesn't fucking achieve anything.

Do not watch this. Hamburger.

At one point we need Steve Martin to have a win, so we introduce this James Bond character who does an epic action moment and makes it look like Steve Martin did it - which you'd think would be setting something up for later in the movie - but this James Bond guy is never even mentioned again.

This is also a PG movie that has a scene where the protagonist goes to take viagra in preparation to have sex. PG movie. What.

Plot is insultingly bare-bones. We have literally one single suspect (outside of the one intended to be the incorrect one), and surprise surprise, it's them. The titular ring is barely ever mentioned. You'd think a movie called The MacGuffin would center on The MacGuffin, but no, it's solely a murder mystery. The ring does not factor into anything at any point.

🎬️ watched The Pink Panther (2006)

This thing fucking sucks, but it does have one or two good jokes hidden in there. I think I saw this as a kid? I genuinely have no memory of anything outside of maybe the intro where Jason Statham is in the film for 2 seconds and has no lines?

Almost all of the jokes themselves in isolation are actually fine, but it's joke-a-minute style jokes that are stretched out as long as gratingly possible, and it just burns all the humour away. Naked Gun this is not.

The image is a movie poster for "The Pink Panther." The background is white, and the central figure is a man wearing a light gray trench coat, dark green pants, and brown shoes. He has a mustache and is standing with his hands in his pockets, casting a shadow of a pink panther behind him. The title "The Pink Panther" is prominently displayed in pink and purple text at the bottom of the poster. Above the title, the names "Steve Martin as Inspector Clouseau," "Kevin Kline," and "BeyoncΓ© Knowles" are listed in black text. The release date "February 10" is shown at the bottom, along with the website "pinkpanther.com." The overall design is simple, with a focus on the character and the title.
