i've lived long enough to see Subway outlive its purpose. five dollar footlongs are like $15 now. you're not going to sell me on giant cookies, pizzas, soups, salad bowls. i'm here for one thing and it's the cheap sub i got in 2008. if you don't have it, then what's the point?
Theaters should be playing old movies constantly, regardless of some anniversary. A man like me would be pulling up to a Monday showing of Collateral at 12:30pm if given the opportunity. Need more big screen experiences.
I love watching movies. Very few things I love more than watching movies. But choosing what movie to watch? WOATed activity. Bottom of the barrel use of leisure time
[🔔Long Tweet] Oda's message about Akira Toriyama paassing away. Oda: It is too early.
The hole is too big. Sadness washes over me when I think that I will never see him again.
I have admired him so much since I was a child, so I remember the day he called me by name for the first time. On the way home from the day you used the word "friend" for me and Kishimoto, I remember being overjoyed with Kishimoto. I also remember the last conversation we had.
I was one of those who took the baton from the days when reading manga made you a fool, and he also created an era when both adults and children could enjoy reading manga. He showed us the dream that manga can go worldwide. It was like watching a hero going forward.
For not only mangakas but also creators in various industries, the excitement and emotion of the time of Dragon Ball serialization must have taken root in their childhood.
His existence is like a big tree.
For the manga artists of our generation who stood on the same stage, Toriyama's works became more and more important to me as I got closer to the same stage. I even felt being scary. But I am just happy to see the aloof man himself again. Because we love him on a blood level.
With respect and gratitude for the creative world he has left behind. I pray for his soulful rest in peace.
May heaven be the joyous world he envisioned.
In 10 years, we will look back and wonder why we ever let this happen. When companies yank content from your digital library that YOU paid for, you will miss the times where you could go into a store and purchase something to own forever.
I guarantee it.
