If you've ever wondered how they came up with the design for Slimer from Ghostbusters... have I got a story for you. 📽️
months, and approximately $300,000 to develop.[5][3] It went through many variations, which Johnson blamed on executive interference through micromanagement, constant adjustments, and conflicting notes on how to modify each detail. He said: "In the beginning, they asked for a 'smile with arms' but before I knew it ... 'give him 13% more pathos, put ears on him, take his ears off, less pathos, more pathos, make his nose bigger, now his nose is too big, make his nose smaller ... Make him more cartoony, make him less cartoony."[3] The day before his deadline, Johnson learned Aykroyd and Ramis had wanted Slimer to be an homage to John Belushi's likeness. With that information and a series of Belushi headshots, Johnson took at least three grams of cocaine and believed that Belushi's ghost was visiting him to provide encouragement. It was during this episode that he sculpted the final Slimer design that appears in the film.[3] Aykroyd admitted the

This is a dril tweet
First of two screenshots of an Amazon review with photos of someone's hand bleeding and button making machine in the background. Title: MY BUSINESS IS DESTROYED AND I'M INJURED Review text: DO NOT PURCHASE IF YOU PLAN TO SELL PINS FROM THIS MACHINE. YOU WILL BE DEVASTATED AND AT LOSS LIKE ME AFTER MONTHS OF HARD WORK. To make a long story short, if you want a long-lasting machine that doesn't randomly break and you, injure you and negatively... you, injure you and negatively affect your business PLEASE INVEST IN A PROFESSIONAL MACHINE, NOT THIS ONE. Long Story: I've been through THREE machines. Each one has its own unique defects and doesn't work properly. I make unique designs and sell them at pop-up events. All of it is now at loss because of these poor quality machines. First Machine: The first has a handle about to snap and break because it takes a LOT of force to correctly make a pin. Turns out? EVERY pin that came from this machine has the back plastic piece fall off. I ordered a second thinking well maybe I did something wrong. Had to issue replacements to my customers. Machine 2: seems to work okay, I got about 80 pins out of this machine until *SNAP!!!* *Blood everywhere* because THE HANDLE ABRUPTLY SNAPPED WITHOUT WARNING. On the morning of an important sale event. Lost lots of $$$ and my pride that day. Machine 3: Replacement for No. 2. Seems to work fine, until after hundreds of pins made and sales I start getting messages from customers that the front fell off. Guess what? EVERY PIN MADE IS DEFECTIVE. My once successful business is now suddenly in jeopardy because I mistakenly trusted this company.

Two of the worst films so far in the Summer of Stallone. Saw Jaws in the theatre this week, though, so it's been a fun one! #filmsky #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday 📽️

In the 15 years I've lived in Jacksonville I can only recall this bridge over 95 being used by one dedicated guy with the various "JESUS" or pro-life messaging. There were a lot of people up there this morning!
Large red signs on a bridge over I-95 in Jacksonville, Florida say "RELEASE ALL THE EPSTEIN FILES"

I love this type of shit. Crazy meaningless data and charts and graphs on retro monitors. Dr. Strangelove vibes (?) Can't get enough
