    Most DMCA claims are entirely automated--often the studio isn't even consciously aware of what the actual content being flagged is.

    I meant strikes.

    I been on Youtube ten years, I know the claim shit is automated.

    No I know, I was just adding to your point about how messed up it is. Like, in addition to all that jazz, it's not even a person making conscious decisions at the helm--it's just a dumb robot. And everyone defers to the ROBOT and makes the actual creative human beings jump through hoops to preserve their stuff!

    The fact that YouTube still enforces the 3-Strike account shutdown system is really bad, since their strike system has been proven to be little more than a joke to the point that entire channels disappear temporarily (or permanently) because a studio flags a few of their videos with a few copyright strikes at once.

    Add to it that many people who file the takedown notices aren't actually copyright holders. Turns out, when there is no downside to filing fraudulent claims, people will file bullshit claims all the time in order to get add revenue out of the time it takes for those claims to get sorted out.

    I believe I heard Jim (or someone in his field) mention that YouTube has or will soon be updating their system so that assets don't automatically start going to whomever files a claim. Or something to that effect.

    I will need to double check, though.

    Most of that is in place now because a lot of the big names were threatening to start a new site and take their userbase with them.

    I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.

    I feel like Sonic's only cameo was on a poster in the original movie

    He had a PSA style video playing in the background riffing on the "sonic says" stuff from the cartoon.

    Yeah, that PSA is where the "if you die outside of your game, you're permanently gone" info is given to the audience.

    100 percent.

    Ghostbusters II is the hill that I have chosen to die on.

    Please tell my loved ones that I want to be buried to Jackie Wilson's (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher.

    Plus, who can forget the David Duchovney, Julianne Moore, Orlando Jones and Sean William Scott Ghostbuster film Evolution.

    I just Googled this, and I'm still having trouble believing that it's real.

    It's good in a very stupid way.

    And super cheap on Amazon. Got my Dad a copy for Christmas.

    Evolution is super goddamn dumb but is perfectly aware of that and is a pretty good time

    I always thought the flying things looked super rad

    can't believe someone was complaining about fart jokes in this thread

    Nothing wrong with a well-executed joke.

    But the potty humor jokes in Wreck-It Ralph were really lowest common denominator for kid movie humor.

    Okay, but that totaled about two minutes of screen time in a film that made me cry more than two minutes.

    So I guess I give it a soft pass?

    I mean, that's what I had tonight!

    A soft pass.

    Of poop.

    From my butt.

    Farts are constantly trying to get out of humans.

    Because it's so gross inside there.

    But then humans are all like "hey yo, wouldn't it be awesome to get inside another human????"

    And then they do and another new human appears and is all like "man, eff this ess, it's gross as haytch in here, I'm out"

    And then they go and forget how gross that ess was and do it all again and just perpetuate the gross cycle.

    Farts have it all figured out.

    Wreck-It Ralph has like three or four poop jokes

    It also has references to Shen Long and Aeris, in a Disney movie of all things

    I can let a few poop jokes slide

    It is still easily the best of the current-era Disney films (though they are all good)

    Also real life farts are funny except when they're predictable

    I can't do jumping jacks, because after about ten or so I start farting every single time I bring my arms and legs back to standing position, it's like a well-choreographed human metronome of farts

    I used to have a pretty shit diet though, this might not happen anymore, I'm not sure because I don't really attempt jumping jacks anymore

    To call a movie "filled with poop jokes" would require two hands, minimum.

    Has there ever been a proper animated adaptation of Journey To The West?

    Monkey Magic comes to mind. There's also the other Monkey Magic which is live action and amazing. Movie wise, nothing that I'm aware of.

    I saw Batman V Superman the other day.

    I have to say, aside from one bit I'll get into, I wasn't a seething pile of hatred towards this film. Though that might have been because I've been thoroughly spoiled on it already. Man, this movie is ALMOST so bad it's good. Like, the plot is incomprehensible and insane. If I didn't have an affinity for certain interpretations of these characters, this movie would almost be delightful. (A little too boring for that, though.)

    Really, the only thing that outright pissed me off
    Was them trying to retcon Pa Kent as being the guy who had a dream of Clark going around and helping people.

    Like, no, fuck you movie. Pa Kent suggested that letting a bus of kids die might be a better alternative than revealing yourself to the world, and punctuated this by letting himself die.

    So no, Superman wasn't "a dream of a farmer from Kansas"

    Eat a dick, whoever wrote that line.

    Pretty sure the farmer in Kansas was supposed to be Clark.
