What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here she's talking about terrifier 2 in this video here again today now I know in my last video I talked about Damian Leone telling everyone to go subscribe over to his YouTube channel so you can be notified of course when the trailer for Terrifier 2 drops and he also stated that release info seems like it what I can assume will be attached to set trailer to Let you know where you can be Expecting to watch this movie later this fall and what date I guess you could also be watching it on However, more recently one of the producers involved with the movie came out and shared some comments on the Finale that's coming of course in this inevitable movie when it gets released So Steve Barton who worked on terrifier 2 had some comments to make about this finale apparently That's gonna be seen in the in the movie once it's released and he said I promise you this is on Instagram I promise you this Lauren Lavera and David Howard Thorne deliver a blood soaked horror film finale for the ages Mines will be blown hashtag terrifier to nothing can prepare you David Howard Thorne who we know plays art the clown chimed in Saying damn right. We're going to change the game now in the original terrifier From my memory what I can recall you had a Victoria who was like the last one standing and she was getting Helped by a custodian or something like that and then ultimately it led up to the one of the most insane things I've seen depicted on on screen. We didn't get to see it like all in depth But she of course gets her face eaten and we find out. She's the woman for the person from the beginning of the movie That's the twist that we tie up into by the end of the movie where we see that she's the disfigured face woman From the beginning of the movie. She's the woman that attacked that other person as well at the start of that movie That's all wrapped up in that nice twist and we know we have art being transported to another hospital like facility or more good like facility and Then he attacks the person working on him and then we'll be just custom black now with this one from the steels that have been released With her with Lauren Lavera that being in her costume and you know art the clown David Howard Thorne being in his get up For as art the clown it looks like there's going to be some type of blood drenched 1v1 that goes on how they can top The insanity of what I saw in the first one. I don't know Maybe I would imagine you're of course just you're gonna try to outdo yourself in terms of the gore that's depicted on screen And the fact that it's going to be what I again Assuming is going to be some type of 1v1 battle between Lauren Lavera's character and art the clown Then you have a chance to possibly portray again one of the most I guess as they're calling it one of the most of game changing Finalities between a horror villain or a final girl and the person that's been stalking them the entire movie If she does indeed get to fight back in the manner in which I'm depicting in my head. So I'm hoping That would terrify her too. They are going to be able to outdo themselves I'm not expecting the movie to be anything that's of course oscar worthy or anything like that But I got stated before I'm just hoping that damien leon takes an approach that speaks to this movie being more character driven and allows the movie to focus on Developing and fleshing out the characters first before we start seeing them get killed as the movie Progresses into the eventual madness that ensues with art the clown and everyone else that gets caught in his path how This finale goes out and how we get to the finale that of course something we'll have to wait and see for the Movie when it's released we could get glimpses of that in the trailer when it releases um As far as when the trailer is coming out We still don't know that I thought when I made that video because of the fact that they had told us to subscribe I was thinking okay. They're gonna do something this week But more recently just of course been no there's no trailer that's been released It's mostly now just people hyping up that the trailer is coming Now you have this producer hyping up the finale and you know everyone is still just waiting They're doing a good job getting you hyped I would say and getting you built up for what they are going to deliver I have faith that they'll deliver With this movie before anything regarding jeepers creepers for for any of you who watch my jeepers creepers 4 videos But it's just like okay We wanted everybody's already hyped everybody's already ready to see it everybody wants to see art the clown Everybody wants to see what other things you have in place for this movie because of the fact that You know it's been like what over a year since the first teaser I think I think the original teaser came out early 2021 And we haven't had anything since because of the fact that everything's been unpaused due to everything going on in the world But now everything of course is trying to get back to how it was and you know you can release movies again So it terrified too that I believe was supposed to be put out sometime in 2020 But then also it got shut down as well because of course got caught up in all this other stuff So hopefully we will get to see the trailer in the near future sometime very close Hopefully next week. That's just what I'm hoping for hopefully sometime next week And we get to see what we might be expecting in terms of how we get to this finale That is game changing because I'm now depicting in my head Something involving a very memorable 1v1 between a final girl and the person that's been stalking said final girl the whole movie Something that's going to send the fandom into a or the horror the horror fandom in a complete discussion about final girls And how important they are to the series or to the genre And as far as like having minds being blown I do just also want to say that this of course is just buzzwords The movie's finale could be very tame to certain people in terms of what you might be accustomed to watching might not hold a candle to Or might not be able to um Get out done with terrifier 2's finale This is of course coming to us from the perspective of the producer who worked with the movie So from what they were able to see this is something that is a finale for the ages Mines will be blown nothing can prepare us for it again all things to get you hyped So of course there's still going to be people who watch it and say oh, that wasn't all that it was I've seen better finales So again with that in mind don't take everything that is being said of course to the literal sense I'm just now expecting it on my own in to be something that's game changing That is what I'm expecting in the sense of Again, I feel like we're going to get some type of epic 1v1 brawl between the final girl character Art the clown maybe we get to see some of art's powers on display too Uh, because we know he's supernatural Maybe we see some different powers on display from art the clown this time around in this finale with this character And we'll see who comes out on top of the end My money's going to of course be on art the clown so that we can get a terrifier 3 But we'll see how all that plays out We'll see when this trailer releases what we can expect from the trailer We'll see if there's any new official stills to come out Damon leon again has stressed that you need to go over to that youtube channel and subscribe turn on post notifications So that you can be alerted when the trailer drops and get the release info But as for me if you haven't already of course make sure you subscribe turn on post notifications never miss a video In the description in the description, I have links on my social media accounts on facebook twitter and instagram You can message me there of course limiters any movies news or reviews You let me to cover in the future with all that in mind guys. I will see you in the next video


Computed radiography, CR, is a type of digital x-ray technology that utilizes storage phosphor plates to capture images. These plates store absorbed radiation energy in the form of blue photons when exposed to light. Over the past three decades, various types of storage phosphors have been researched and developed, with only two currently used commercially, Baugh FBR EU2 Plus and CSBR EU2 Plus. The main difference between these two types of storage phosphors is their morphological structure. The former has a more uniform crystal structure, while the latter has a more irregular one. This morphological difference leads to different levels of image quality, with the more regular crystal structure resulting in higher image quality than the less regular one. This article was authored by Peter Willems, Dirk Vandenbrouck, and Paul Leblance.


Welcome back to Tennis Talk, my name's Cam Williams and there are some rumors that we're going to get an exhibition event between Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer at Real Madrid Stadium that seats about 80,000 people as a way to bring in the new renovations they're going to bring to that stadium. Let's go have a look at what ESPN reported about the potential matchup. This is what the report by ESPN has said, Real Madrid wants to host an exhibition match between Federer and long time rival Rafa Nadal at the renovated Santiago Bernabé stadium in front of a crowd of 80,000 people. This will break the current record for the biggest capacity in a tennis game by almost doubled. The stadium has been under construction since 2020, but Real Madrid returned to play at the stadium for the last year despite work going on around the playing area after spending one and a half years away from the stadium. There you have it, big renovations happening at that stadium and potentially we could be getting a Rafa vs Roger exhibition match there, we did see them play an exhibition back in I think South Africa a couple of years ago before Federer had that knee problem. We've also seen Federer play some massive tournaments in the exhibition scene against Godlike's Varev in front of huge crowds in South America as well. So Roger does like playing exhibitions and he did say he does want to stick around tennis and still play tournaments and still play exhibition events and that stadium is big for Rafa as well because he is a massive Real Madrid fan so it would be a huge deal for him to play in the stadium where his favorite football team plays but let me know down in the comments below. Do you think this is going to be good? Do you reckon this will be interesting?  We want to see Rafa vs Roger even though they might both be retired when it happens or maybe you know obviously Federer is retired, maybe Rafa will probably beat him I guess because of the knee. I don't know, what do you reckon? What do you reckon about this matchup? Do you think it's good or do you think it's just going to be an exhibition and just be a bit of fun?


What I'm going to talk about instead is really what I think are some of the philosophical questions that emerge from the shift To a certain kind of cinematic medium or form that we knew to the entire phenomenon of YouTube. Oh Yeah Is this fine? Yeah So on on on the 21st of August 1911 Winsenzo Perugia left with the Mona Lisa in his hands and he left instead an empty space there and I find this to be a very interesting and a paradoxical image because Curiously More people came to see the empty space than they had come to see the Mona Lisa and this idea of the blankness in the empty space as Signifying this kind of the heart of you know the disappearance of a certain kind of a signifier and what it leaves for us to imagine Was kind of repeated and this is in a story by G. Jack when he talks about how with the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe there was this momentary kind of you know a poria where There were all the rebels who were waving the flags except that there was no new national flag So they had the old flag the only thing that they could do was to carve out the red star from the flag So here they were waving this kind of empty flag with the red star that was missing It seems to me that the present moment that we're living in in terms of the transition from kind of Forms of media theorization and forms of theorization or mediatic experience We're looking at a stage where there is this kind of moment of blankness Where one is not sure what to do with the older kind of modes that we had you know Whether it was the stuff that we inherited from film studies or media theory To make sense of this proliferation of what's been happening in the domain of new media And I want to open out a few questions really about this Idea of how we can focus on just one site in which a lot of these issues from questions of political economy To technology authorship and appropriation Curatorship and censorship all emerge and that side is really you YouTube first of your statistics There are over 800 million unique Visitors to YouTube each month. There are over four billion hours of video that are watched each month on YouTube And there are over a hundred thousand hours of video uploaded to YouTube every single day This boggles. I mean these statistics seem to make things less rather than more intelligible And I think there's a real kind of an urgent need for engaging more seriously with what's happening Since the only people who seem to be otherwise producing a theory of new media is of course the state and that narrative is a familiar one Which we've all kind of been hearing in the last few days. It's a technophobic Kind of approach combined with a political opacity that makes for a very kind of heady combination The fiasco of what happened in Bangalore around the entire rumor of attacks on people from the northeast, etc And the subsequent backlash which I'm sure we'll talk about more in the last session but in 2009 Carl Dorbow of the Strategic Studies Institute authored a book called YouTube war fighting in the world of cameras In every cell phone and Photoshop on every computer and the title more or less summarizes and frames the entire issue And what you know follows in the book But I want to read out one segment of one paragraph from the book because one part of the story is familiar enough to us It's the you know post-border yard story of violence as a media event But in the next portion of the book is very interesting. He says Terrorists and insurgents are now no longer dependent upon professional media to communicate In fact to unprecedented degree the professional media have become dependent on them This is due to technological developments which permit any terrorist to film edit and upload their actions Virtually in real time whether Western media are there to witness or not So one of the sign of the time seems to be that the paranoia and suspicion that engulfs the technological subjects Produces a kind of range of recognizable figures. There's the pervert in his cubicle There's the terrorists wielding the cell phone and there's a pirate in the network Now some of the work that I've done in the past really deals or attempts to kind of investigate these discursive Figures, but what I'm interested in doing today is a slightly different phenomenon I'm interested in looking at a far more quotidian ordinary figure of the producer of Culture in the realm of spaces like the YouTube like like YouTube This for example is believe it or not YouTube is most watched video of all time And we're talking here about something like six billion views has anyone seen this video here. Yeah. Oh, okay Yeah, you're a fair number of people. Yeah, I mean, it's I Have seen this video over and over again, you know as a media as someone attempting to understand media There is this threshold limit that I find myself in often when it when it comes to YouTube to make sense of this entire Phenomenon there is a genre of categories in YouTube videos and they call the WTF videos Which primarily signifies this entire perplexity of how is it that these videos are being watched over and over again? And that's something that I want to try to make sense of this is a farm of talented one This is one of the second or third most watched which is the the evolution of dance But Justin lappy is also like the new YouTube star as it was so YouTube is creating this entire phenomenon of new stars new kind of, you know Content creators etc. Now there have been a number of attempts at kind of giving a political economy account of this And one of those influential of these was something that was done by Chris Anderson in his book called the long teal Chris Anderson was the editor of the wired the argument of Anderson was really in terms of trying to understand the move away from What he describes as a blockbuster principle Arguing that the Pareto principle and everyone's familiar with the Pareto principle Pareto principle will simply that you know Over a period of time Pareto found that 20% of people in society control 80% of the wealth And that was something that was mirrored in every aspect of social life Whether it's in the idea of the organizing of the market So for example 20% of all the books in the world will account for the sales Whereas 80% of the books will never be sold or 20% of films are the ones which will be the hits 80% of them Will never be watched, but it's this 20% that accounts in a way for the entire market so this Pareto principle that Begins as it were you know to to to dominate and we know this to be true of the film industry in India of the music industry in India Etc. And what Chris Anderson does is to challenge this idea by describing what he describes as a long teal He says that the Pareto principle very typically has a very long edge on top and a very very narrow You know teal But what he says is that what's happening with the internet economy is that you have the emergence of a much longer tail Right so and here he says a few very interesting statistics He has a conversation with a music entrepreneur who runs something called jukebox and he is asked by this entrepreneur To guess how many of the tracks which are available on jukebox, which is over a million have sold at least one copy per quarter Now the Pareto principle would naturally say you know 20% or so But the answer stuns Chris Anderson because the answer is 98% So 98% of the tracks have sold at least once in each quarter, which means that there is this crazy niche market Where it's not a very successful market. It's not a blockbuster market But there is this market that's emerging for all kinds of of your media commodities and media goods Which would otherwise not have been available at all So the challenge is that that Anderson poses really is how does one pick him and how does one widen the long tail? And that's the question and he are he says that they there are a couple of factors that enable the long tail The first one is of course the democratization of the means of production the fact that you have you know The ability to make let's say your own music and to circulate it online Enables you to enter a market, which is otherwise determined entirely by per square foot basis So the argument was that you know if you take the way, let's say a crossword or a landmark works It works entirely on the logic of how much space a book occupies occupiers So it's per it's calculated on a per square inch basis So if a children bugger is going to sell 150 copies a day it justifies its existence over a long period of time in let's say a landmark and Every independent distributor knows this to be the problem. The problem is that you do not have a long shelf life No in a bookstore. You do not have longevity. You do not have visibility, right? You're immediately hidden if you don't sell you're taken out of the market, etc So the long tail one aspect is this democratization the second thing is the democratization of the means of Distribution which is the extension of this shelf life because technically the shelf life of a book can be extended infinitely So even if you do not have visibility in the way that you did in a landmark or a crossword It doesn't really matter because you can technically have a sample of your book Available online in in perpetuity. The third is the connection of the demand and supply Now one of the things that is crucial to all of this is of course the entire question of viral networking and a word of mouth culture and He has a very nice phase where he says, you know, what happens when ants have megaphones And I want to take this question because I think while YouTube is indeed the best example of what happens when ants have have megaphones People like Anderson have provided us with an overall sense of what is happening with these new technologies of distribution But we really get a sense of the philosophical questions and consequences of the ship What is happening in the long tail in terms of this phenomenon of the Charlie with my finger kind of logic? What is it that is people what is it that people are producing? What is the logic of the circulation of certain kinds of videos and images and what does it say of our times? This is an image I actually had an embedded video, but it was on a max So it doesn't play but these are the back-dom boys and they are in some ways the first superstars of YouTube for those of you who are not familiar with this the back-dom boys are basically two Chinese students Huang Ziying and Weiwei from the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts in China who became instant celebrities when in a state of boredom They made a lip-sync cover version of a very popular backstreet boys single using nothing more than a cheap single digital camera on their Computers in their respect in their kind of depth dormitories and it is and for those weren't seen the video They incredibly incredibly talented and this is In this video was the first one to propel them into stardom at a time that if you on YouTube typed backstreet boys The first hit that you got were the back-dom boys, right? And the second video that you got was the official backstreet boys song that they were This is I want I wanted that way Now people decried their fame and said let's face it. It doesn't take a lot of talent to make faces They didn't write the song. They didn't sing the song. They didn't play any musical instruments Their sole accomplishment is that they made faces at a camera. That's not talent, man And if they weren't Chinese that is if they didn't have the freak factor of Chinese boys lip-syncing to backstreet boys songs Nobody would have noticed this This was the initial kind of response that came and yet the fact of the matter is a lot of people noticed it The back-dom boys apart from the cult developing around them and various kind of internet memes that were devoted to them now There are hundreds and hundreds of versions of this kind of the the back-dom boys They were also featured live on NBC and both dropped out of the academic programs to become hugely successful brand ambassadors and Spokesperson for some of the largest media brands, but this is the ironically kind of Reappropriation that always happens. They both acquired a celebrity status and are now role models On on television channel hosting their own shows So the first challenge for me is that how do you make sense of this this kind of phenomenon? Amongst media theorists in East Asia They use a phrase called Kuso to describe a range of media content on YouTube on what I would describe as the micro content Right, there's an entire range of because the entire format of YouTube Which is the less than 10 minute video is the emergence of the micro stars and the emergence of this kind of micro content So you see our view East Asian theorists use this idea of Kuso Kuso the root the root words of Kuso are from Taiwanese Which is from Kuso gay, which is also Taiwanese and Japanese mixture the word Kuso gay is a Portmanteau of Kuso and game which literally means shitty games the introduction of this category or a category such as this is Teach gamers how to appreciate and enjoy a game of poor quality such as appreciating the games outrageous flaws instead of getting frustrated them So Kuso Refers to the situation of not only how does one make things into garbage, but also how do you turn garbage into things? It started as a sub-cultural phenomenon But is now highly popular in mainstream cultures on reality TV on youth-oriented channels like MTV and channel V and in local performances Nishant's your immediate theorists and cyber cultural theorists pose the question of the readability of these digital objects or events And he says how we to make sense of this kind of junk that is available on the internet and how do they become cult objects? Rejecting the idea of parody citing the fact that the idea of parody and its deep rootedness Within a certain Western paradigm of intertextual practices do not actually capture the sense of what's happening Nishant argues and suggests that if we place their production as Kuso It allows us to realize that the objects that are being parodied in the video are not American popular cultural forms or Specifically backstreet boy videos. What is being parodied is the original self of the performers in the back down videos What we see is a lifestyle choice that is coded in consumption of cultural forms accessories appearances class differences language and most importantly the conditions made available by technology The original object then are the three boys and their real or original status and their lived practices in other words Even as Nishant rejects the easy and by now passe categories of appropriation and brookal arch which were fashionable You know when postmodernism had its 15 minutes of fame what he's unable to do is to move beyond the other is Other family events that you will be inherited from cultural theory. They'll be resistance and performance, especially your gender identities Equally themselves formulas that have been familiar to many cultural studies approaches to understanding youth culture Interesting for me Michelle Shaw uses the phrase digital cinema to describe this entire range of Microcontent that's produced specifically for a platform like YouTube The question that I want to pose is what are the consequences of using cinema as a paradigm of understanding these practices The emergence of photography and film as new media at the turn of the 19th century Unsettling the ontologically stability of the visual arts a century later You see a similar de-stabilization of film with the emergence of a wide range of visual practices enabled by digital technology So what are the consequences of the shift from semi-noid to digital for film history and film studies? How do we make sense of the shift of the ontological basis cinema in photography? Do the emerging realm of the immaterial digital image the technological question is a very crucial one here because the way Very often the way format of the small screen and the various technologies of encoding video are inseparable from the kind of Experience that one has of the image itself So in the case of a lot of the YouTube videos the the idea that you're creating it for a screen of a particular size and encoding it in a manner that you wanted to stream kind of you know In an efficient manner is also the question of What is the language of the camera that one speaks of when one speaks about YouTube videos? Because more often than not these videos are created by people sitting in front of their Computers and what is the recording device is not an external camera? But really the camera that's embedded within the computer device in one of the guides that was written on how to create Better YouTube videos because you can see this entire language of Authorship quality tastes etc. It's not gone entirely it resurfaces in a very different way in the in the YouTube world So there's an entire guide on how to make better YouTube videos in which Vandik Uses the term snippet to refer to the transient status of a clip with within the potential The endless process of reusing recycling etc. He says play to the medium strength Know that your video will be seen in a tiny window on a small computer screen and then shoot it accordingly Use lots of close-up keep the background plane avoid long shots and employ simple images with high contrast Visual subtlety is not your friend If the camera was an apparatus For staging a mise-en-scene then here it is replaced by the computer or the camera within the computer and these did it digital objects Or events share both an immediate proximity But equally a distance from cinema if cinema was about a spectatorial experience a Simultaneity of the spectator producer on YouTube seems more complicated and stabilizes the very idea of what constitutes a work itself Get low ink following Lev Manovich instead characterizes the experience of watching YouTube videos as the experience of databases He says we no longer watch films or TV. We watch databases instead of well-defined programs We search one list after another It's always the promise of the next video the video that throws up in relation to a video that you're watching So you're never watching a single work You're always watching a database workout through the logic of the search results now This seems to be very similar with the experience of pornography in you know on online Where we have to admit that contemporary pornography is less Pornographic in the sense of a reference to sexual material or sexual content But more in terms of a reference to forms of distribution and circulation Describing an experience of surfing pawn on the internet a feminist writer says I caught myself clicking through to a gallery Taking in the contents with a glance and backing out to click through to the next gallery I didn't need to spend much time with the pictures to feel the titillation upon That's what gives me a hint about what it must be like to be obsessed with online porn That the search as much as or more than the pictures is really what turns you on No individual picture or video can be as novel or as exciting as you hope it will be So you keep searching and looking looking and searching You're never satiated because if you just masturbated to any particular picture or video You'd miss out on all those other ones, right? So it's this endless idea of the the click-through Right, so pornography is no longer about the good old-fashioned having a page of a magazine open and you know kind of enjoying yourself It really is about this constant traversing through a Database so how we to make sense of this kind of economy of the excessive of the image Loving characterizes sheer volume video a volume of videos on YouTube as the YouTube sublime in walking the content sense of You know the sublime as the sense of being overwhelmed by in his case You know natural phenomenon translated into aesthetic categories But I would try to like look look at this in terms of a certain idea of understanding in terms of a frenzy and the accelerated logic of Circulation in his work on the on only visual Technology is John comelli describes the intensification of the whistle visible produced by early visual technology and the production of what he calls The field of the visible as direct human vision of events places and bodies Began to be mediated by an optical apparatus that sees in place of the naked eye now Linda Williams Borrowing from commonly describes the visual hardcore knowledge or the hardcore pawn Pleasure that's produced by pornography as a frenzy of the visible. I would argue that pornography on the internet and as a way of Understanding our own Spectatorial practices seems to produce something akin to the frenzy of the real or the frenzy of the live and in this case The real is specifically referenced through its immersion in the domain of the private the explosion of sexual scandals Why are the leaked MMS's which circulate incredibly on on the internet seems to suggest Something of this nature the turn in TV towards reality TV the popularity of live webcam Transmissions the rise in sexual scandals like the MMS's all share a common ground in their quest for an unmediated reality Digitalism then seems to exist at the cusp of an inability to believe in the hyper real on the one hand and an intense desire For the real which is grounded in degraded and unintelligible images as though quality becomes the marker of the relationship to Indexicality and I want to show you an interesting example here. Oh, this is another one which has always perplexed me This is called. How can she slap and this is basically a leaked Kind of video for a reality show which is really tragic It's about this kind of thing that goes horribly wrong But there are hundreds of means of this from Afghanistan to you know the US to from Netherlands to Germany There are hundreds of means of this and you know what one really can make out what's what's happening Some of them are extremely well done extremely talented versions of this But the example that I want to show you is a very example a very interesting example of someone called Vishal Gupta Who was kind of this? You know, he was having fun in front of a webcam And figured that if he placed his index finger and his middle finger and he drew, you know with an ink You know kind of black and he just made a mark between the two of them He figured that if he placed his fingers before the webcam, he could simulate a naked woman so he starts this web telecast and Soon he has hundreds of people who are chatting with him asking him to perform for them now there is something absurd about this image because Apart from the sheer, you know ridiculousness of it He then places his thumbs on top of them to simulate breasts But this idea that there are hundreds and hundreds of people who are chatting with Vishal Gupta and trying to you know Follow this kind of live performance How we can make sense of this desire for the degraded image in a time when you have Pornography of all kinds and very high definition available for you. So there is this You know, there is this kind of paradox is there in the realm of of cinema You have a move where all films tell you that we have X X being 12,000 13,000 special effects Right, so there is a move for the hyper real in Michael Maan's film called Dillinger There is an attempt to create as it were an imaginary filmic history in terms of you know, so there is All kinds of examples of this Jody Foster's contact in which the director was not happy with a particular expression of Jody Foster They change it digitally they altered it So it doesn't matter if you even give a performance of a certain kind because that can be digitally altered and yet at the same time There is this move towards the degraded and the downward image. So let me try to kind of bring this together I will suggest that the various digital objects that could be you know Seen as artifacts of an incipient digitalism are yet to find a taxonomy leave alone an ontology The puzzle of what a digital object or a digital event is recalls for us questions that were popular in classical film theory Which have been out of fashion for a while including the various shades of realism from ontological to perceptual to photo realism, etc It's not surprising that the digital moment has also been accompanied by a return to various figures of classical film theory including Buzzy, Neppstein, Balash, etc A critical component of the loss of the cinematic experience is an account of the change in the Heightened experience of cinema and ourselves since the theatrical experience entailed the commitment not just to our solitude You know in space and time of theater But a solitude that we shared with others whether intimate or strangers in the presence of something larger than ourselves call it the screen of the World so if you were to take the classical experience of the platonic cave as being that of theatrical experience There are two things that I play there's proximity in the size. So even as the screen was much larger than life You shared a proximity with strangers or with intimate people of a very close nature Even as you had a great distance from the screen the first shift that happens is of course when you move the screen from From theater to television where all of a sudden the screen is much smaller The proximity that you had is also much closer now But the space that you shared with those around you is also altered because it's more an intimate space It's the family or it's the living room The television comes and radically alters the architecture of the Indian middle classes house because everything then becomes centered around the Television screen as the mediator as it were a space So this idea of the transmission that that takes place between proximity and size gets further complicated the moment You start watching films on your computer and here I'm talking about the desktop not the laptop yet We're all of a sudden the body is now, you know kind of straightened up again Because once we were watching television our bodies had had loose had loosened We were lying down and watching it here You had to sit over again and there only a maximum of three or four people who could watch it But your proximity to the screen was even greater the screen had become smaller than the television as well And finally the condition under which most of us watch, you know films now, which is on our laptops lying alone very often watching the film so the proximity between screen and you gets even closer as the proximity between you and other people kind of Completely increases you more often than not watching films on a laptop alone If you were to take the example of horror films a genre that we all enjoy But we enjoy specifically in the company of other people we all get scared of horror But we don't get scared of it because we watch it in the company of other people People who really enjoy horror films will admit that they rarely watch it alone Because this is a marker and a way of a certain isolated experience that was not there the classical Cinema so one were to take this kind of the ontological duration of these moments as Mediums move from let's say old media to to new how we to think about the philosophical consequences One could speak a lot about a lot of the work that's been done by Stanley K. Well on the idea of the screen as That which is not a screen the world away from us, but screens the world was okay. Let me let me wrap up So if cinema offered us Okay, so arguing against the standard media theory with scene sees the turn towards the digital as an increasing process of disembodiment Mark Hansen would argue for a return for an engagement with the experience of the body in new media for him the digital era and the phenomenon of Digitization demarcates a shift in the correlation of two critical terms media and body Hansen argues that as media loses their material specificity the body takes on a more prominent function as a selective process Of information it is a body scope of perceptual and affective possibilities that informs the media interfaces that we encounter This means that with the flexibility brought by digitization There occurs a displacement of the framing function of medial interfaces back onto the body from which they themselves originally sprang But the body itself in this encounter with media becomes a site of indetermination if cinema offered an image of the world And ourselves to it what happens when these screen images are replaced by mirror mirror images Which are grainy and blurred in one of the stories Borges remarks that mirrors and copulation are abominable Since they both multiply the numbers of man What seems to be at stake with the multiplication of technologies of image making is not an not not a settling off But a further ring of our ontological restlessness Cinema offered the body one plane of connectivity to sensation But a change in medium offers another form of connectivity by moving away from the known plane of analysis Namely the ideal form of cinema to the micro content that we see on YouTube We begin to approach media in an untimely manner which allows us to see them as Unstable objects which are both less than and more than cinema and in this regard the question of ontology is an inseparable from that of medium a medium is that which stands between us in the world as a representation and Returns us to our perceptions by way of the self-consciousness of the medium and the argument I suppose would be how do we actually become a little more self-conscious of the various kind of mediums that have emerged rather than taking Them on as just qualitative kind of deviations from known forms of old media. I'll stop here for now and take up


Look my expectations for Republicans. It's it's very low. We'll put it that way It's it's below the floor low But there are some things that you'd think aren't really that controversial that even seemingly insane people like Marjorie Taylor Greene and the Republican Party have no problem supporting I mean some positions that one takes it's not really Supposed to be controversial, right? Ice cream is delicious. I think Republicans and Democrats can both agree with that cookies are delicious dogs are adorable Hatred against the AAPI community is unacceptable. Well, actually that last statement is an issue because Republicans 180 Republicans in the house to be exact Decided to vote against the resolution condemning hate Against the Asian American and Pacific Islander community in the United States now for more of this We go to David Badesh a raw story who explains Wednesday afternoon the United States House of Representatives Voted 244 to 180 to pass a resolution condemning anti-Asian hate after eight people including seven Asian Americans Six of whom were women were shot and killed at spas in Atlanta, Georgia in a series of hate crime mass shootings last month All 180 no votes were from Republicans. No Democrats voted against the resolution Among the no votes were Georgia Republican representatives Rick Allen Andrew Clyde Marjorie Taylor Greene Jody Heiss and Barry louder milk congressman louder milk represents part of the area where the killings took place Jesus the text is quite simple condemning the horrific shootings in Atlanta, Georgia on March 16th 2021 and reaffirming the House of Representatives commitment to combating hate bigotry and violence against the Asian American and Pacific Islander community The resolution says the people of the United States more in the eight innocent lives lost seven of whom were women six of whom Were women of Asian descent and several of whom were immigrants. It lists the victims names Emily 10 Da Yu Feng Delena Ashley yawn Paul Andre Michaels young a you soon Jung Julie Park Hewn Jung Grant and soon Cha Kim, so I've got to ask Why would you vote against this like what reason can you possibly state that makes it justified to oppose something like this? The only thing I could think of is that while it references a shooting and if Republicans condemn a mass shooting then that must Tass at least suggest that they support gun control reform I don't know, but this is a very basic resolution just condemning hate Against a community currently Under attack who's seen an increase in hate crimes. Why is it so hard to support the bare minimum? Now if Matt Gaetz has taught us anything usually when a Republican votes against something that is Uncontroversial it says a little bit about themselves. So for example Matt Gaetz was the only member of Congress to vote against a bill that would further criminalize sex trafficking and Here we see 180 Republicans vote against the bill explicitly condemning hate against the AAPI community so I can only Suggest or deduce rather that they're taking this position because either At best they don't care about hate against the AAPI community or at worst. They actually don't like the AAPI community Either way, it's just this is really it's shameful To not even do the bare minimum and condemn hatred against a marginalized community Who has been victimized because of a pandemic that the last president blamed all Asians for saying it's kung-fu or China virus He has fueled Anti-Asian hate crimes and the least that Republicans can do is the seemingly symbolic gesture to just Support a resolution condemning hate against this community and they can't even do that. They can't even do that Jesus Christ There is no limit to how low they're willing to go to go out of their way to showcase How they are just terrible human beings and it's truly embarrassing Look, I don't like conservatives but back in 2016 2017 There was a shooting that took place at a Republican baseball game And it was a Bernie Sanders supporter who carried out the shooting, right? He didn't do this in the name of Bernie Sanders It's just someone who happened to support Bernie Sanders who did a mass shooting If I was a member of Congress and there was a resolution condemning this violence against Republican lawmakers what I supported Yeah, obviously because I very clearly don't support violence against Republican lawmakers It's just these things like this. They shouldn't be partisan issues condemning hate against the AAPI community This shouldn't be a Republican Democrat thing, but here it is Everything in our society is a political issue Wearing masks during a pandemic is a political issue believing science is a political issue Condemning hate against the AAPI community after they just were victims of a mass shooting That even is a political issue. It's just with this level of polarization It's almost insane. It's like if Democrats say that ice cream is delicious How quickly until people like Marjorie Taylor-Green come out and condemn ice cream and say that ice cream is disgusting And it's terrible and Democrats only support ice cream because their donors in the ice cream industry are fueling them Big Ben and Jerry's is paying off Democratic Party politicians And I'm being intentionally hyperbolic here but I mean that's really what it feels like They're just going out of their way to go against things that Democrats support because Democrats bad Therefore any and everything that they propose is bad to not support a symbolic resolution condemning hate against the AAPI community That's just a lot more about them than anyone else


Alright y'all yesterday's video I mentioned the word crafty about a thousand times Because I love the word crafty and I love crafty players.

The German Reich government is determined, in view of the friendly relations which exist between Norway and Germany, under no circumstances to prejudice the inviolability and integrity of the Norwegian state. 2nd of September 1939, Bergers Reich. But on 9 April 1940, German troops invaded Norway. Ensure the governments of Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg, that Germany will not violate their neutrality. 6th of October 1939, Rolf Hitler. But on May 10th 1940, German troops invaded Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg. Established reliable relationship of Germany to Yugoslavia will represent an element of calm to our nerve-wracking continent. This piece is the goal of all who are disposed to perform really constructive work. 1st of June 1939, Rolf Hitler. But on 6 April 1941, German troops invaded Yugoslavia. These criminal methods of the Nazi conspirators brought them early success. And by 1941, they had most of Europe under their heel.  But two of the world's mightiest nations, the United States and Soviet Russia, remained to block the Nazi drive for world supremacy. They had to be dealt with firmly immediately. And now Germany asked for cooperation from her full partner in aggression to the east, and from her junior partner to the south. In Berlin, they drew up the Axis Pact, the blueprint of the new order, and parceled out the continents of the world for Axis domination. Italy was to get the Mediterranean sphere, Japan was to get the Orient, and to Germany would go the rest of the world. In 1941, in violation of their non-aggression pact, the Nazis sent the Wehrmacht deep into Soviet territory, according to military plans long made. As usual, there was no declaration of war. Hitler had said, today Germany, tomorrow the world, and this was tomorrow. Land warfare in the east, air warfare in the west. For now defendant Göring's Luftwaffe was hurled with full force against the people and cities of Britain. Hitler, after all, had told the Reichstag, I will blot out their cities. On 7 December 1941, the Japanese, keeping their end of an infamous bargain, struck at the United States, also without declaration of war. Japanese bombs rained on Pearl Harbor, spreading war finally to the Pacific. The new order was on the march, World War II, flamed around the globe. In the name of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, General Rudenko presents counts three and four, charging that all the defendants committed war crimes in Germany and in all those countries occupied by Germany. The Nazi conspirators committed crimes against enemy armies, against prisoners of war, against the civilians of occupied lands. They believed in the barbaric doctrine of total war and considered themselves freed from the restraints of international law or the established customs of war. Their ruthless policies were ordered in directives like this one, from General Reinike of the Wehrmacht High Command. The Bolshevist soldier has lost all claim to treatment as an honorable opponent. Active or passive resistance must be broken immediately by force of arms. Prisoners of war attempting to escape are to be fired on without previous challenge. No warning shot must be fired. More proof of this savage Nazi policy comes from the affidavit of Kurt Lindau, former Gestapo officer. They existed in the prisoner of war camps on the eastern front, small screening teams headed by lower ranking members of the Gestapo. It was the duty of these teams to segregate the prisoners of war who were candidates for execution according to the orders that had been given and to report them to the office of the Gestapo. And a letter from defendant Rosenberg to defendant Keitel in 1942 stated clearly, A large part of the Soviet prisoners of war has starved or died because of the hazards of the weather. In many cases, prisoners of war could no longer keep up on the march because of hunger and exhaustion. In numerous camps, no shelter for the prisoners was provided at all. Even tools were not made available to dig holes or caves. Yet when some objected that this treatment violated the Geneva Convention, defendant Keitel answered with this memorandum. We are concerned with the destruction of an ideology. Therefore, I approve and back the measures.


Today, I'm going to do something completely original. Yeah, I'm talking about the Sonic the Hedgehog trailer. Before I do that, why don't you enter our Nintendo Switch Super Smash Bros. Ultimate giveaway through the green dot i-link down in the description. It's absolutely free to enter. It is that collector's edition that came out in November of 2018. And hey, why don't you drop a like on this video as well and see if we can get it to 150 likes. Now look, everyone and their mother is talking about that Sonic the Hedgehog trailer today. It has been anticipated in one form or another both to see how bad the trailer was going to be or to see if it's not as bad as people felt it was going to be. Now the trailer was shown behind closed doors about a month ago and even the reaction then seemed pretty mixed. It was basically Sonic looks bad, Jim Carrey as Robotnik looks good. And that still seems to be the general consensus coming out now that the trailer is public. Everyone thinks that Sonic looks bad, but you know, Jim Carrey looks good. Or at least Jim Carrey in the trailer comes off as classic 90s Jim Carrey, which we haven't actually seen in a while. So it's nice to have 90s Jim Carrey come back in a character that seems to be well written for his persona. Now, the big thing is, is the opinions on this trailer are pretty split.   Then you have others out there like Dreamcast Guy or Arlo even who are kind of like, hey look, I think they know exactly what they're doing and it's brilliant and it's going to be awesome. So here's my take. I actually like the trailer and I kind of side with the latter half of what I brought up in Dreamcast Guy and Arlo. I think they know exactly what they are doing. I think they know that this is a meme-tastic video. They are playing into the memes. You have got to go fast in there, which is already a meme, so they have that in there. They have, you know, take us to the Genesis, you know, in there as a saying to kind of call back to the Sega Genesis, master system for some other people and they're just kind of playing into the cringe. They are trying to make Sonic extremely cringe worthy. I mean at one point, you know, he looks at his wrist where he doesn't have a watch and says he took nine million steps and this is in the middle of Jim Carrey's Dr. Robotnik shooting a bunch of missiles at him and them coming to a standstill, which some people felt confused by, but this also infers that how Sonic's speed works isn't necessarily just his legs. Maybe his speed kind of works like the Flash because we've seen in the Flash TV show and in the comics his ability to kind of stand there and move so fast that to him he feels like he's standing still, but to everyone out there it looks like he's not even there and that time kind of stands still and they can go around and destroy all the missiles and all that jazz. That at least seems to be what they're inferring how his speed works. It's not necessarily just when he runs. He can just call upon his speed whenever he needs it. It's a very interesting trailer to me in some cases because I don't actually mind the story. The story feels very unique and that's the way I always felt video game films need to approach video game adaptions is don't try to tell a story that's already been told in video game form. Give us something unique and the way that this story seems to be working out is that Sonic the Hedgehog is some interdimensional alien being. They don't really explain it too much in this initial trailer. Maybe we'll find out more in future trailers otherwise we could wait to watch the movie I believe it comes out in November. But basically Sonic's not from this planet but he's here on earth to save it. At least Sonic says that at some point in the trailer I'm here to save the earth. I will save the earth from what I don't know because Dr. Robotnik is not actually the initial bad guy that Sonic was here for. Dr. Robotnik is actually called on by the US government or I'm really shouldn't say maybe it's the UN. Some government agency anyways hires Dr. Robotnik to try to stop Sonic and the reason they want to stop him is because his speed creates a lot of electricity and that electrical pulse that happens when he hits his max speed is knocking out power in huge chunks of the United States and because of that they want to put a stop to it before he knocks out the entire world's power grid which is understandable obviously there's something going on they don't understand the government generally wants to bottle that up and figure it out and so they hire Dr. Robotnik who obviously is a doctor of robotics basically to try to capture and figure out all this stuff and over the course of the movie obviously goes from trying to capture and blah blah blah to try to kill Sonic and then there's an end scene towards the end where he finally starts to look like Dr. Eggman which again you know Dr. Robotnik and Dr. Eggman they basically they're the same character so you can definitely see that he basically gets more and more I don't know if I don't know we're crazies right but gets more and more like the character that we all know and love from the Sonic series by the end of the movie and maybe that is going to be a setup for a second movie or what have you or a final showdown but yeah Sonic himself obviously the animation I the animations I think are okay obviously the look of Sonic's going to be a love or hate I actually kind of like it in a strange way because in telling a unique story and having a very unique Dr. Robotnik in Jim Carrey by the way it looks as silly and acts as silly as you would think and as high as I mean this is Jim Carrey you know basically performing at his best and I love it they tailored this role specifically for Jim Carrey but I honestly don't mind the way that Sonic looks or how he runs or anything else that people I've been taking issues I realize his face looks funny at times the animations are good at times like bad at times honestly I think this entire movie is built for memes I think they are buying into internet culture with this video they knew that no matter what they did a son of the hedgehog movie probably would not be well received so instead of trying to make this super high production you know hundreds of millions of dollars sunk into trying to make this bioptic epic like a game of thrones or you know just some sort of massive scale movie you know they decided hey look we're not going to go that detective Pikachu route that's very hard for us to pull off with a character that has already had its ups and downs as a franchise we're just going to bind to the fact that everyone likes to meme Sonic and we're going to lean into those memes hardcore and I honestly think this is one of those movies that is going to become one of those cult classics I think it's actually going to perform well at the box office be very low reviewed on rotten tomato be very low reviewed basically everywhere but there's going to be this big um collection you know maybe millions of people who actually love how cringy this movie is if you love cringe this is going to be like the perfect video game movie for you if you're like a sonic fan and you love the sonic memes and the sonic cringe and they gotta go fast like the hot the the chili dogs I'm sure there'll be a joke about chili dogs in there at some point like there's going to be a lot of cringe in here along with some nice humor from Jim Carrey and I think it's going to be a nice melding of the movie owning what it is it knows that it's a bad movie I think that's the the thing here a bad movie that knows it's a bad movie are generally the best bad movies that's that's the way I view it and that's kind of why I like this in fact I don't even know that it's going to be a bad movie for me but I I think in general it's going to be a bad movie that knows it's a bad movie owns it's a bad movie and has a lot of fun with the fact it's a bad movie and ultimately in the end sonic the hedgehog in the movie is going to just end up being a lot of fun and that to me is what makes a bad movie enjoyable and makes it have a cult following it makes people meet like me love it is it knows it's bad and it owns that it's bad and has fun that it's bad it makes fun of itself and creates memes out of itself and I think that is brilliant and I think that is a good a good choice for this particular type of movie I don't think this would work as well with a mario movie you know obviously some people talk about the memes that maybe came out of the original mario brothers movie and I actually like that mario brothers movie but uh that movie tried to take itself seriously and uh that was maybe its downfall is that it didn't own how silly the entire idea is this movie seems to be owning its silliness owning the fact that this sonic doesn't look like any sonic we've ever seen before heck the rings instead of them being like these things you collect that like let's them take more damage it may now are like teleportations like the gold rings let you teleport all over the world all over the universe that's how we got to earth crazy stuff going on here lots of crazy interesting unique ideas and that's why I like it um you're you know feel free to disagree you can obviously head down to the comment section and and and you know clack away and let me know how terrible this is and I'm not going to blame you for thinking that this trailer is an abomination and has ruined your childhood I can't blame you for feeling the way that spawn wave and wolf den and many others you know many millions of others probably out there feel but I'm kind of on that other side of the coin where I think it's kind of clever I think it's kind of unique because we don't get a lot of movies that own their cringe as much as this one seems to be owning it and I honestly think I'm going to end up really enjoying this movie is am I going to end up thinking it's a better movie than detective Pikachu probably not overall because I think detective Pikachu is just more cleverly written and while it breaks away from the source material of detective Pikachu it still stays fairly true to that source material in some ways if you know anything about the story of detective Pikachu at 3ds it's not the same story they're telling in the movie but there are some similarities and how the world is built and all that stuff and Ryan Reynolds I think obviously brings a little clout to it just like Jim Carrey does to this film and I think detective Pikachu is a more serious take with comedy mixed in that is going to end up coming together much better than this does if it tried to do a similar style so this movie says screw it we're not going to try to be detective Pikachu and be super serious we're going to be silly we're going to be zany we're going to be memetastic we're going to have crazy battle sequences that make absolutely no sense and we're going to own it and we're going to have a lot of corny cheesy lines that people are going to be meaning forever that they're going to want sonic to be gift to hell or gift to hell it's going to be crazy it's going to be fun and I think it's going to be a wild ride and I think this is exactly what this sonic movie should be and it is what they are trying to make it be I am very thankful they didn't try to make a serious sonic movie because honestly how many attempts at serious video game adaptations do we need to see fail especially when it comes to bringing it to the real world before we realize that maybe that's not a very good direction for those kind of movies obviously we know detective Pikachu might be trying to buck the trend but you know what we still don't know detective Pikachu actually delivers having some good looking trailers is not the same as the movie delivers so we'll have to wait and see if that movie delivers as well but for right now the detective Pikachu is probably a better movie but I think that this sonic the hedgehog movie is its own type of unique comedic movie it's definitely a comedy and I'm loving it man like give me more I already want another trailer like just keep dropping the trailers I'm going to go to this movie probably two or three times because it just I was laughing throughout the entire trailer and not just like laughing at how dumb it looks sometimes just laughing in general and oh my god this movie knows what it is it's a bad movie that knows it's bad and this is awesome and I love it so you guys don't know what you
