I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

I’m constantly astounded at the sheer level of artistic production coming out of Iceland. Novels, movies, music. Amazing.

my favorite example of this is all of those animated greeting card services from the mid-2010's that became completely unmarketable because the unhinged memes people made with them kept going viral and that was all anyone associated the product with

Figured some people could use a primer after that new teaser dropped, so here it is, from top to VOTOMS:
VOTOMS is always waiting to be discovered, as a story that has been continually added to for decades, with a style and vibe that speak to anyone who likes their robots just a little more real.
Okay, So What's VOTOMS?

So if you’re an AI guy who is miffed that we loathe your product, sorry, not our problem. As the meme goes, that’s not how any of this works. Go raise another 900 trillion in funding, make everyone else love and want and PAY for you (you know you have to do this eventually!) and leave us out of it.

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

I hope folks learn to recognize in the future when Keighley pushes a game super hard as it usually has some small (or large) ties to his investors like Tencent. He posts nonstop about the game for days.

Here's a unique mailbag day, with a donation from @v-i.dev of some Telefunken and Teldec Television Electronic Discs (TeD) from West Germany in the 1970s.
Ever wanted to watch 10 minutes of an anime on a flexible foil disc moving at 1500 RPMs? Yeah this is a wild, weird forgotten format indeed.

AI filmmaking is completely unserious.
You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.

Tales From Earthsea. All of Ghibli's animation finesse can't save what is a severely undercooked and dull adaptation of a great book series. It's obvious Goro is an inexperienced director who was given a messy production to helm and it's a shame because you can see moments of better film in places.
In honor of today's viewing of Scarlet, I'm going to throw out a question to y'all: what's the worst anime movie you've seen?
Hard mode: no compilation films (because let's be real, most of them aren't good to begin with).

Oh boy, this one took a little while.
In my latest for ANN, I take look into the game of Ru-Ru-Ru-Russian roulette that was the Dirty Pair Kickstarter campaign. From pandemic-related delays to company buyouts, Kei and Yuri had more than a few hurdles to clear on the road to release.

Dirty Pair fans came out of the woodwork to back this project—to the tune of US$731,406 what they got were years of delays, authoring problems, and a disc wrapped in a napkin. What happened?
