There was a lot of behind-the-scenes griping at Pixar about how difficult it was to animate the first Incredibles – it was their first movie with all-human characters after all – and in the end, I don’t think they were totally satisfied with the result.
With that being said, I am 100% certain that this is just an excuse to flex on the haters and show how far animation has come in 14 years. And I am totally fine with that.
first movie: “HAIR? YOU WANT US TO ANIMATE LONG FLOWING HAIR?? ARE YOU INSANE???”
Second movie: “and then he turns into smoke that realistically reacts to a ball flying through it… he also turns into realistically flowing water at one point”
Hey so friendly reminder about voting and elections that I haven’t seen going around yet but is SUPER IMPORTANT.
Watch what you wear and say while you’re waiting in line for the voting booth/at the polls. It is against federal law to do anything that might be considered campaigning once you’re there, and since we know that voter suppression is the name of the game this election, there will be people looking for ANY reason to remove you from the polling place. And they will nitpick. You have a shirt with a artistic picture of donkey on it? You’re visibly supporting the Democrats, you’re disqualified from voting. Want to wear a Black Lives Matter shirt? Not there you don’t. They’ll call it intimidation and kick you out. Pins, buttons, stickers, none of it. Wear the most bland, plain clothes you can imagine.
And then keep your mouth shut. Even the slightest hint of discussion about which candidate you’re voting for can get used against you. Don’t assume the people around you are safe to discuss it with. You might be overheard. There WILL people watching for these things, hoping to get rid of anyone they can. Voter suppression isn’t just about making registration impossible. It happens at the polling stations too. Be smart, be bland, be quiet, and make sure your vote gets in.
Also- and I have seen this mentioned but it bears repeating- DO NOT TAKE A PICTURE OF YOUR BALLOT. EVER. It’ll also disqualify your vote. Take a selfie when you’re out of their with your fun little sticker.
This is for your protection as much as your oppression: this means the opposition party can’t use those tactics against you either – and if anyone tries, REPORT THEM.
Ian Robinson, head of the National Physical Laboratory’s engineering measurement division said, “One key reason for doing this work is to provide international security. If the Pavillon de Breteuil” — where the IPK is stored — “burned down tomorrow and the kilogram in its vaults melted, we would have no reference left for the world’s metric weights system. There would be chaos. The current definition of the kilogram is the weight of that cylinder in Paris, after all. And that’s just not good enough for international science.” [x]
