the deranged thoughts of a guy who films things but, like, not in a weird way

I came back to Twitter for this

Hey @Oreo @nabisco I have a food science question. Why do the star wars Oreos open themselves like a clam when you dunk them in milk but the regular Oreos don't?

Hey @netflix, the version of 47 meters down uncaged you have is an HDR version that got poorly toned mapped to SDR. It looks awful no matter what device I play it on. Y'all might want to fix that.

With Elon marking npr as "state affiliated media" that's my cue to leave this app once and for all. It's been real, Twitter. @elonmusk I hope you go bankrupt on this deal.

Is it a sign that I've had to come to the dentist too many times that I've heard moves like jagger the last three times I've been here?

I don't know who runs emergency alerts in Wisconsin, but I need them to understand that an old person getting lost does not warrant them sending an extreme danger alert to the entire state

@TechConnectify watching the new Boston Strangler movie and in the first 5 minutes is that fancy vintage, touchless toaster you did a video on three years ago. Thought it was neat.

Star wars attack of the clones is a cautionary tale about hiring subcontractors

[the connor™ @condog1035]

I'll reiterate a past tweet of mine. How are dubs of foreign films SO uninspired? I could literally do a better job than this.

[the connor™ @condog1035]

The scene they added to a new hope with jabba chewing out Han is so out of place and jarring. Not only is it the worst VFX replacement in the entire movie BUT it literally rehashes the exact same conversation from the scene prior. word. for. word.

The most interesting the new star wars shows have been are when the episodes aren't about their main characters

[the connor™ @condog1035]

I expected the last of us finale to be much longer because of how long I remember that part of the game being but maybe I'm just bad at video games

[the connor™ @condog1035]

One of my least favorite movie tropes is putting any exposition in the mechanical documents / historical photos that roll with the opening credits because I'm never sure if it's actually relevant

[the connor™ @condog1035]

Today I learned that "watch this show at 8/7 central" is a uniquely central time thing. Apparently in Mountain and Pacific time they just don't show anything live except for sports?

Animal House is just my dad's Blue Mountain State

@aspauld2 I wouldn't call what I do "making music" but I'm glad you think of me that way

[the connor™ @condog1035]

Highest grossing film is a really terrible metric since the price of tickets keeps going up. Adjusted for inflation, Gone With the Wind is the highest grossing movie ever.

In 1970 a movie ticket cost ~1.50. A ticket now costs 14. It's not hard to "highest gross" with that math.

Imagine being friends with Jesus and asking where he wants to go for lunch, only for him to reply with something cryptic like "in my father's kingdom you shall know peace" and having to interpret that means Applebee's

Instagram is now like 50% ads and it's maddening. I don't care about your products or your suggested posts, let me see what my friends are doing.

[the connor™ @condog1035]

I need companies to understand that interrupting hold music every 20 seconds to tell me my call is valuable is the least helpful thing you can possibly do.
