A goal of mine is to eventually watch true detective, It was mentioned on a previous version of this site, and how the show was influenced by cosmic horror and especially "The king in yellow" By Robert Chambers, which has peaked my interest, to say the least.

Last night I watched Lawrence of Arabia starring Peter O'Toole. What a movie. Sweeping landscapes and score. The defeat of a hero, fall of a prophet. That sort of thing. I'd imagine a big inspiration to the recent Dune films. Aside from obvious parallels in imagery, there are many parallels to be drawn in narrative and characterization.
What is with movie where it's like "real humans enter the fictional world" (like the minecraft movie) or "fictional character enters the real world" like the 1987 he-man movie,(or the live action super mario movie) but then you have the "insert thing but real and we add a fuck ton of ironoc humor for no reason besides we can't take the IP seriously" (think detective pikachu)
Are they stupid, are they running out of ideas? Can they atleast NOT make the movie or atleast take the concept serious enough to make something halfway decent? Or is it that the people are too stupid enough to just send their kids to some stupid movie so they can do whatever while the brands pushing for the movies pretty much treat it as a massive commercial?

I though they did though, unless it wasn't the movie but instead the book lawrence wrote.

Which godzilla do you like
I like the original lizard, he has a charm to him, but its like minus one is just as good, whenever they did close ups it made me happy because he reminds me of the original. I also like the swimming scenes, reminds me of a big iguana swimming.

I was at a yardsale and i heard a noise, so i bent down to look under a chair and i saw a gray cat with large eyes, irises fully open and ears down. I tried touching him but he backed up a bit but he kept looking at me. He didn't blink either, just stare
WHAT IS HE LOOKING AT
STOP LOOKING AT ME
Was he looking at my DNA? Or even deeper, my soul?

I spotted a cute black and white cat sitting on a sidewalk, i wanted to pet him but i decided against it because he looked too comfy and i didn't want to disturb him.

Maybe it was an invite to join the cat gang and maybe your cat wasn't gangster enough.

Post and discuss any 22chan characters you made or know here.
I'm reviving this thread in the hopes of getting a more detailed discussion going about the universe 22chan takes place in and all of its characters.
Let's talk about even the smallest details from characters backstories to their birthdates to their relationships with each other. We could maybe even make something like personality cards that list all of those details from each character.67 replies (and 27 file replies) omitted. Click here to view. (Bump Limit: 250)

Since we now have a webm feature implemented here is a thread for random webms which is basically just a copy of the Youtube Hidden Gems thread >>305 but for webms. Please provide additional context for the webms that you are posting.
I remember finding this translated video from a Japanese show posted on a blogspot website on which I happen to have this downloaded. As I'm not that interested in making a thread for Japanese shows for now I'm posting it in this thread since it has been just sitting on my drive for some time and god damn who knows how many times I've rewatched it now and I want to finally share it with someone.
This particular episode is called "Foreigners' Opinions Of Japanese People" from "Arita and Matsuko and Men and Women" featuring Matsuko Deluxe which is the fat guy crossdressing and Teppei Arita, the guy standing besides him, both comedians and acting emcees for this show. The show as far as I know has since been cancelled. I think my favorite parts of this entire thing is Martin, the watermelon addict, asking if he's a monster or something with that face, and the italian guy called Carlo with his perverted comments.46 replies (and 50 file replies) omitted.

This thread will feature videos from the 歌ってみた (I tried to sing) tag from Nico Nico Douga: https://www.nicovideo.jp/tag/歌ってみた
https://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/歌ってみた
The tag is attached to videos where users on Nico Nico Douga record themselves singing and is one of the much more popular tags on there. The tag includes videos in various forms like singing over karaoke tracks, adding vocals to instrumental music, preparing your accompaniment, and creating completely original songs.
I want to start off this thread with one of Hyadain's I tried to sing videos. https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm8887200 [Play] I found it initially while working for working on another project for the Medley thread. This is basically a remix of BATTLE2 from Romancing SaGa. This is actually his 44th work as mentioned in the description and it features a guest singer RIKO-san who sings the part of Sif.
I'll be honest I never played any of the Romancing SaGa games, but man... While translating this and listening to the song over and over again I actually began feeling something for the characters due to the seriously well composed lyrics. I think the part that got me the most was Sif's mention of throwing away her dreams as bridal life and throwing an axe instead of a banquet. Fucking amazing. I will follow up this thread later with another entry into Romancing SaGa that I found.
If you don't know about Hyadain (Kenichi Maeyamada) early on he used to mainly sing songs of old game BGMs where he would rearrange them and make up his own lyrics. He is known for an outstanding arrangement sense, the humor he incorporated into his works, being able to change of his voice (the female parts are usually all sung by him) and for a extraordinarily high pace of releasing new songs. He is probably the most popular I tried to sing singers on Nico Nico Douga who is also partly responsible for Nico Nico Douga's growth as a community.
He revelead back in 2010 on his blog that his real name was actually Kenichi Maeyamada who is responsible for composing J-POP and anime songs. His major debut... well... you probably know the anime Nichijou, right? He made the opening theme Hyadain no Kakakata☆Kataomoi-C: https://youtu.be/osWXbe7MbGE [Play] and https://youtu.be/1Xxnp0Q1GYQ [Play]
Isn't it fascinating to contemplate the hidden contributors behind the growth of the Nico Nico Douga community? Like I think it's quite amusing to imagine some prominent individuals like this secretly crafting anonymous accounts and creating MAD videos for tags like Gachimuchi Pants Wrestling...

https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm17663034 [Play] Introducing singers who deserve more recognition but weren't invited to Nico Nico Chokaigi
I’m not sure if the video title is being serious, but it’s kinda extremely funny to think about how much talent Nico Nico actually started, with people who made what were often seen as joke videos going on to become professional singers, musicians, etc.
If you’re wondering what Nico Nico Chokaigi is: https://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/ニコニコ超会議 It's basically a real life event held by Nico Nico where the community comes together to recreate Nico Nico Douga in the real world: https://youtu.be/BbqT4wNKCs0 [Play].
That being said, you have to ask why the management decided to dump so many resources into these large-scale events like Nico Nico Chokaigi and Nico Nico Taikai, while the site itself was barely functioning, even for premium users...
https://dic.nicovideo.jp/b/a/ニコニコ大惨事 (Nico Nico Disaster)
Going through the comments on this trainwreck is just brutal because it's obvious they were intentionally cutting costs to make Nico Nico barely profitable at the expense of a functional website. All while pushing these events (and even planning overseas expansions) without even securing a solid footing in Japan.

The "Spirit of the Engineers" who power Nico Nico Douga at Dwango.
http://rikunabi-next.yahoo.co.jp/tech/docs/ct_s03600.jsp?p=001878
It sounds like they're looking for highly skilled engineers based on this article created on 2011/02/24, but after reading this article from 2011/02/18, I'm left speechless.
Takeshi Natsuno’s next strategy for Nico Nico Douga:
http://rikunabi-next.yahoo.co.jp/tech/docs/ct_s03600.jsp?p=001867
"But we are not resting on our laurels. We're aiming for the future. We have two directions: one is entertainment. We're moving beyond video towards live entertainment like concerts and musicals. We already have a world where 10,000 people will pay 2,000 yen just to watch an artist's live show on the internet."
"The second direction is overseas expansion. We’re not necessarily imagining physically expanding abroad since we can easily cross borders online in today’s world. We’re developing a business model that doesn't rely solely on Japan or cater only to Japanese users."
The "disaster" article mainly talks about what happened on February 5, 2011, during the the final event of the Nico Nico Taikai when a major issue hit Nico Nico Douga and both free and premium members couldn’t watch videos. It was probably one of the first big signs of Nico Nico starting to lose its userbase because of poor management decisions. I went through some of the 1500+ comments posted a few months after that, and honestly, it’s insane how much regular and premium users suffered because of their greed...
When Hiroyuki was still there, he famously said during the disaster:
"Did you know that, even though this is Nico Nico Douga, a video site, people can’t watch videos today due to a problem? I think it’s wrong to ignore our core business and do events like this."
Anyways I think it's almost impossible not to rant about the management in every post if you have to explain the things that make up nico nico so please enjoy that video lol.

There are quite a lot of those, though they seem to have hiked in price since I last remember. I think the Bandai vinyl ones are pretty easy on the budget and I think they've started making newer ones, but they aren't as high quality but still nice. Revoltech has a cool looking Mothra figure but it's pretty expensive now.
I got some new vinyl figures today. Forgive the awful camera quality. Pretty happy with these ones, Moguera and Megaguirus respectively. These are newer Bandai Movie Monster Series releases so they seem to have a more colorful coat of paint than older ones. I kind of like the paintjobs on older Bandai figures (see image 3). I feel they were a bit more stylish and detailed, even if not faithful to the colors of the monster in the movie.
>lego (fukin netflix) one piece
>lego pokémon
Lego always made decent pirate ships, Lego pirates, and pirates of the caribbean was wonderful IPs, dispite lego cucking it's own "violence is bad" rule, and shilling itself out to corperations instead of coming up with wonderful new IPS. Will lego one piece be cool? actually, maybe. Using bright, expressive bricks and cool action functions to fire little cannon balls actually makes me want a going merry for myself but honestly still, what the actual fuck? It's the same feel i had for lego prince of persia, like what are they doing?
Also considering the price of the lego sets nowadays jesus its going to cost so fucking much so i probably won't bother.
Lego pokemon, what the actual flying fuck? How in the god damn will this work? giant brick built sets for 200$? or hopfully recreations of in game locations like the pokemart? (that showcases in game map designs, as in the same exact layout of stuff from like pokemon red)
Other brands like megablocks actually made somewhat decent looking sets for like 20 bucks, i know lego is fucked especially from people from within working there, like the guy who made the actually kind of kickass lego dune set being forced to add shit to the set he didn't agree with, terrible practices, shitty bricks and wokeshit, it seems like a mixed bag. i literally am so confused to be honest, Lego pokemon doesn't make sense to me.

Your favorite thread from /pol/ before it was shut down returns. I'm going to be making as many translations as possible and posting the ones from the previous thread in here. You can also contribute by posting what you like found on the 政歴M@D tag on Nico Nico Douga: https://www.nicovideo.jp/tag/政歴M%40D or request a translation to be made. I will mention that not everything is found on the 政歴M@D tag regarding Political History M@D sometimes it helps translating a historical event or person into Japanese and then putting it into Nico Nico Douga search next to the "MAD" tag.
The video I am starting off with is not exactly a translation as there was nothing to translate apart from the original Nichijou lyrics so I made a bunch of tweaks to it.
The original video is: https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm15599763 [Play] made by B@oimo who has a few other videos like this that are worth looking into. I remember he made that sleepy Joseph Stalin Santa video as well.27 replies (and 30 file replies) omitted. Click here to view. (Bump Limit: 250)

I've been finding it interesting,
many of the older videos have been removed from whatever Chinese website they were hosted on and remain only on Youtube, often having thousands of views whilst remaining insularly known to those who first watched them in 2012.

I found this in my mylist again... The doors opening "President Vladimir Putin" then Yeltsin screaming "Let's go" and proceeding to fucking dance to the song, the sudden pause in the song to announce Medvedev's name, the random fucking Stalker clip of that guy shooting. I am always in fucking tears when I watch this I seriously love this era of nico nico.
Now I need a version of Stossel going: No They Can't
