I literally paused my stream of Ingrid Bergman’s “The Seventh Seal” to watch this preview.

Woah, this looks awesome, I’m gonna watch it later tonight when it’s dark out.

Junk Head is a 2021 Japanese stop motion animated science fiction film written and directed by Takehide Hori, based on his 2013 short film Junk Head 1.[a][3][5][6] The film comprises some 140,000 stop-motion shots, and runs for 101 minutes.[5] The story is set in a distant future world where humans have received longevity but lost their fertility, and are nearly extinct by population decline. …

Not only the direction and scenario writing but almost all work, including voices, sculpting puppets, lighting, camera operating, editing, composing music, were, in the beginning, done by Hori alone.[5][7][6] At first, he assumed like most people that “films are not a one-man project”.[4] Then, hearing that Makoto Shinkai made his first film, Voices of a Distant Star, by himself, and, inspired by Shinkai’s story, he decided to try to make a film and ventured into the world of film-making at almost forty years old.[4] However, Hori had neither knowledge nor experience in film-making, and was entirely self-taught.[3] It took Hori four years to make a short version of the film for a preview.[3] He made a long version for theatrical release with a small team.[3] It took around seven years to complete the final product.[5][8] The short version was released at 2013, and the long version was released at 2017.[4]

I looked through a few posts and didn’t see this group mentioned.

Oh yeah, it’s mostly a place where people who “keep communities alive” post and encourage one another about ways to get other people engaged, etc.

But I totally understand that because a lot of people completely fail to find this interesting, understand the “joke” and generally consider these posts to be spam and have blocked the group or me.

Tha hell with em! Your posts are killer.

Garfield, the other orange cartoon cat that came out three years after Heathcliff, isn’t welcome here. If you post any Garfield content here it better be really, so very really, good.

You’re in luck, all of the major AIs refuse to render an image of Garfield bursting out of Heathcliff alien-style and wearing his skin as a trophy.

p.s. love the community, check out the weekly “how is your community doing?” post on !fedigrow@lemm.ee

Abolitionists were inherently secretive, due to the nature of their work freeing slaves

You seem to be confusing the abolitionist movement, which involved public meetings and newspapers, with the “conductors” of the underground railroad, who were mostly free African-Americans who risked being enslaved by slave catchers (even if they had never been enslaved in their lives.)

I have a very elderly relative. If you can only eat food that is not too firm, and you want easy-to-prepare stuff that you can keep on the shelf, and your tastes are kind of old fashioned, this sounds great.

How about:

  • The Match Factory Girl (1990) - truly a great film with a very slow pace
  • Dogville (2003) - it’s got Nicole Kidman, Lauren Bacall, Chloë Sevigny, and James Caan! I wonder what the sets are like?
  • Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972) - about an exotic river trip. yet so much more.

Judgment at Nuremberg (1961)

I see and raise you: The Wannsee Conference (1984) - about the Nazi meeting in which the “final solution” was decided upon. They just sit around a table talking. Later adapted into Conspiracy (2001). wait these are TV films so maybe they don’t count.

Lost in Translation (2003)

Pretty much everything by Jarmusch. “Hey, want to see a movie about a modern samurai who works for the mafia? It’s got gunfights!” “Sure! Sounds exciting!” Well it is, but not how you think. (Ghost Dog)
