While I was uploading these to the website today, I was just enamored with the pure GAS that the Devil May Cry 3 manual had.

Every page was a marvel to look at. We really did lose something along the way.

That's exactly why I want to preserve these with The Continue Project.

Did anyone else have at least one of these as a kid and always imagine building a deck to summon it with a trillion attack, but never commit to it?

I love this so much.

Him struggling to finish a couple words really added some raw emotion to it as well. Stripping back the instrumental & just letting his vocals do the magic. All of The Lights!

You’re looking at a real dish. Thomas Keller, chef at one of the few restaurants on earth with 3 Michelin stars, made it after Pixar asked him one question: what would you cook if the world’s most famous food critic walked into your kitchen?

His answer is called confit byaldi. It’s a fancier, layered version of the peasant stew ratatouille, and the Pixar team actually learned to cook it. The film’s producer interned at Keller’s restaurant, The French Laundry in Napa Valley, during production. They kept live rats in a hallway at Pixar for over a year so animators could study how their fur and tails moved.

This movie almost never got made. Jan Pinkava, the original director, worked on it for 6 years before Pixar’s leadership lost faith in the story. With about 18 months to go before the premiere, Steve Jobs personally called Brad Bird (the guy who directed The Incredibles) while Bird was on vacation. They asked him to take over. Bird rewrote the script from scratch and redesigned the rats to walk on four legs instead of two, so they’d look like actual rats. The $150M film grossed $624M and won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature, with 5 total nominations that broke the record for an animated film at the time.

Peter O’Toole voiced Anton Ego. Lawrence of Arabia himself. O’Toole had been nominated for an Oscar 8 times across 45 years and never won. Pixar gave the role of a man who judges others for a living to an actor the Academy had been judging for almost half a century. And the character was drawn to look like a vulture.

The flashback is weirdly accurate, scientifically. Smell is the only sense that skips the brain’s normal processing line and goes straight to the parts that handle emotion and memory. Every other sense (sight, hearing, touch) has to make a stop first. That’s why a single bite of food can slam you back to your childhood kitchen faster than any photograph ever could. Scientists have a name for it: the Proust Effect, after a French novelist who described this exact experience in 1913. Smell-triggered memories go further back in time and hit harder emotionally than anything your eyes or ears can pull up.

In 2016, the BBC asked hundreds of international critics to vote on the greatest films of the 21st century. A cartoon about a rat cooking dinner made the top 100. This scene is a big part of why.

Grigori Kozintsev’s Hamlet (1964) boasts the greatest depiction of the Ghost I’ve seen, on screen or stage. A disembodied suit of armor in slow-motion clockwork, billowing cape rolling like the black ocean or the rumbling storm clouds overhead, wheezing with a dead whisper.
