I know this is something me and one of my best friends have very serious arguments about. The big furry cons are no longer the tiny conventions that can handle registration with two laser jet printers. Oh, and for those that forgot, registration took ages back then as well!

Hot take time. Based on #Anthrocon going over 17k paid attendees this past weekend and #mff2024 probably hitting 20k this year, it's time for the big furry cons to start figuring out a better way to do registration.
I know #fwa24 knocked it out of the park with the reg lines!

Hate making group plans when I've had so many "friends" secretly tell mutual friends how they want nothing to do with me. The question then becomes, do I invite them honestly and be non-surprised at the plan to wash their hair months down the road? I hate second-guessing social stuff.

Going to make a reminder because I need it sometimes too. See someone being an asshole? Making an argument in bad faith? Don't Engage! Block and Move on! Especially with elections coming up, we don't need this place turning into twitter flame wars or main character of the day.

Dear furry fandom, Please learn the difference between "this is an awful person who needs to be cancelled" and made a pariah and "I just personally had a bad interaction with them but your mileage may vary."

And for those curious, I voted for Warren. Would have been happy with Bernie. Specifically hated Bloomberg (wrong party), Gabbard (wrong party), Steyer (rich guy buying election).

The galaxy falling back under the thrall of the Empire used to feel like the weakest aspect of the Disney sequels but now they feel like the most realistic. It wouldn’t even have taken 30 years, give it just 4 and the Star Wars news-anchors would be asking, how can Palpatine win the debate this week

I still remember the weirdness of furry back then towards Keller and specifically the view that, oh he hates us and makes fun of us at every turn but he is OUR celebrity so, free pass! Coming into furry in 98, I think he was the first fur I knew of that got such a free pass.

The best way to understand boomer psychology is participation trophies. Boomers insisted their kids all get trophies. None of them wanted upset, loser kids. Then when millennials were adults, boomers used the participation trophies THEY GAVE US as proof we were soft & entitled as a generation.

Ugh. That was bad. I knew it would be style over substance but so many borrowed tropes from better movies. It did look good though. I'll be generous, 5 out of 10. I've seen much better.

Heroes return to the village, and the movie is over. Droid now has antlers because, sure, why not. But wait evil guy that died needs to have his D. Vader moment because Zac REALLY wanted to do Star Wars. But first more exposition because F my life. And end part one!

And now another fight scene. And goodbye traitor guy, goodbye rebel leader guy I think? Nice homage to 300 with his death that is. And now it's time for Bad McBadington and his pimp stick vs protagonist woman! And who knew pimp sticks had cutting abilities against rope!

Oh no Lando Kai, curse your out of the blue betrayal. But first an overly long betrayal speech! Speaking of overly long, since Zac knows our attention span is non existent, he recalls all the backgrounds of the seven samurai equivalents. Every exposition is overly long, as if paid by the word.

Oh hey it's time for more exposition. I swear we could knock off about 30 to 40 minutes if an editor had cleaned this up. In any case plot slows to a stop. I feel like the people Ted Striker is giving exposition to in Airplane. And now welcome to Gladiator World. Even the roommate went "Really?"

Shockingly it's an hour in. I half expected to find we're only 20 minutes. And I have no idea why protagonist woman brought useless farmer middle manager that got town leader murdered. Now to further go seven samurai, we now have robot samurai woman. Sure why not.

And oh hey it's been ten minutes, time for another slo mo fight scene but oh hey it's our great value Han Solo. And next scene, Asylum level Jason Momoa is a slave. It's gonna be expensive and tough to get him in the group. Actually it'll be super easy, barely an inconvenience! My head hurts.

The pacing so far seems very stop start. In between the wtf fight earlier, the pace moves at a glacial pace with omg so much exposition. And now we have the cantina, but it's grimdark cantina, complete with sexual harassment and random burlesque performers.

Commented to the roommate I saw the opening plot done cheaper and better when it was done by Roger Corman and called Battle Beyond the Stars. First fight scene, yup, lots of unnecessary slo-mo, it's a Z. Snyder film. Best part is Zack wants it gritty, but no blood during the violent fight!

Holy crap. Not a good look by the convention chair of one of the biggest furry cons. But then again Doc Conway is in the dictionary next to not good looks. (Association with certain gryphon, paying for folks to remodel house, etc etc).

Apropos of *nothing*: Mark Sexton, one of the concept artists on Fury Road, takes on the vehicles and characters from Wacky races. Very much in the vein of what I'm slowwwly aiming for in 28mm.
