Never thought I’d see an Iron Giant meme template but a welcoming one none the less

Roan Everly @roanrampant.bsky.social · 21h

Alternative for artists, nsfw artists, and a blank one (Just for you buddy. Tell your mom I said hi.)

A series of screenshots from the animated movie "The Iron Giant" depicting Dean sitting, drenched, in the middle of a road as he's approached by an angry rancher in a truck hauling pigs. Image 1) bsky users: Hey! artists: Yeah? Image 2) bsky users: Your likes are public on bluesk- artists: YEAH? Image 3) No dialogue. The rancher/bsky user looks dumbfounded. Image 4) bsky users: Alright (Rancher/bsky user drives off) Image 5) The pigs on the back of the truck are staring wide-eyed at Dean/artists as they pass by. The pigs are labeled "gracious followers and patrons"

The same meme format but with "nsfw artists" swapped in for "artists"

Do you have a favorite movie? Because I do.
Here's a recreation of the iconic scene from 12 Angry Men in the style of cartoons from that era (Original in the reply)

Nintendo says claims of its anti-AI lobbying are false

“Nintendo has not had any contact with the Japanese government about generative AI. Whether generative AI is involved or not, we will continue to take necessary actions against infringement of our intellectual property rights”

It’s kinda poetic that they share smiliarities between one of the oldest countries in the world and one of the most youngest countries in the world.

In the wild west, gunslingers utilize both the revolver and rifle. The lever action rifle (a winchester for example) can fire up to ~400 yards making it ideal for the outdoors. Whereas the revolver is smaller and used as a quick fire or taking potshots and can be drawn indoors.

The katanas are used for quick draws to kill the enemy and in actuality it does work in real life (although not as dramatic or action shot as in movies).

In the movies (and in real life), samurais usually carry two swords or Daishō as it is called. while it is used as a class status symbol, it was also practical as the longer sword (katana) is used outdoors while the smaller one is usesd indoors (kodachi). (cont.ed in next thread)

Retro @retrorubus.bsky.social · 11d

I was thinking some random thought about movies and while I do notice the similarities between westerns and samurai films, people don’t mention the fighting styles that also feel similar too.

Their love of the paper cone cup do run deep. Inquiries such as these are what true archeologists strive for
