Aston Martin V8 Cygnet

ChaosEngine says...

Some of Aston Martin's cars are so beautifully designed that they transcend automotive design and are almost pieces of sculpture that also move.

This thing, though... it's just butt ugly. I'm sure it's great fun to drive, but I find it hard to believe it's the same company that designed this.

The Most Disturbing Painting

RFlagg says...

I'm going to guess he means the movie Cabin in the Woods, at which point there's probably a painting in the dinning room. It's been ages since I saw the movie though, so not sure I remember it. (I remember the painting/sculpture in Devil's Advocate, which then had to be edited a bit on further releases to be less like the original artist version as he didn't give permission to use it. Sort of unrelated though...lol)

ChaosEngine said:

Thanks for the promote. Do you have a link to the painting? (Googling "The Hunt from Cabin in the Woods" just gives me images of cabins in the woods!)

Tina Fey on Protesting After Charlottesville - SNL

Holy Fuck!! Google "Trump Bonwit Teller":

https://www.fastcodesign.com/90137202/hey-remember-when-trump-destroyed-precious-art-history

New York Times:
"Plain as the building might be, the entrance was like a spilled casket of gems: platinum, bronze, hammered aluminum, orange and yellow faience, and tinted glass backlighted at night. In 1929 American Architect magazine called it “a sparkling jewel in keeping with the character of the store.”


"Upon learning about the historic building’s imminent demolition, and recognizing the cultural value of its ornamentation, the Metropolitan Museum of Art convinced Trump to remove portions of the historic facade and donate them to the institution."

"Soon he was backpedaling, after realizing that it would take two more weeks and $32,000...to properly take the reliefs off the building. Using his fake alter ago, a “Trump spokesperson” named John Baron, he told the New York Times in 1980: “The merit of these stones was not great enough to justify the efforts to save them.” His construction workers chopped up the metalwork with torches and let the sculptures fall to the ground to crack into smithereens."

Two, 15 foot high, irreplacable, Art Deco bas-relief sculptures smashed by Trump to save $32,000 in costs to remove them.

Westworld: What Makes Anthony Hopkins Great

entr0py says...

That made me realize how the nudity in the show is central to understanding what it is like to be a 'host'.

To the guests they're sex dolls. To the engineers and programmers, they are robots with no sexuality or shame, more like sculptures than people, so having them wear clothes while doing diagnostics is silly.

And then we saw in the last couple episodes that to the repair technicians they're more like cadavers than they are like robots, since they're always a powered down mess by the time they get to them.

So if you look at the experience of Maeve she gets to be a whore part of the day, a lab experiment part of the day, and a dead person at night.

Bring on the robot uprising, kill all humans.

Yep, and as a result each of the stories is progressing at a snail's pace. Also while the premise is interesting I feel the dialogue tries too hard to be deep and meaningful.

Also the nudity is absurdly gratuitous. I get they want to convey the dehumanised aspect of the hosts and that the park is basically a harem to satisfy the carnal pleasures of the wealthy, but they've made that point an umpteen times too many already.

Acting's solid though and production values are obviously insanely high.

Dual sculpture in Paris - Elephant and Giraffes

World's First Laser Rust Remover

oritteropo says...

This video is about using a high power laser to remove iron oxide, the bronze sculpture one is using a high power laser to remove copper oxide, and the other one was using a high power laser to remove rubber. On that basis, that they all reference using a high power laser for cleaning, I thought they were related.

There is, in any case, no way to undo a related invocation so even if you are able to persuade me that I'm mistaken there's nothing to be done!

I don't think they are related. While content is similar in nature, these videos are not related to each other. Similar tags and channels, but not directly related.

You've reminded me of something hilarious from the expo, but I can't find a picture of it. There was a 2D sculpture of a Canadian Mountie, I think near the roller coaster, that totally had a huge boner! It was really the end of the arm, but the way it was made the elbow is in back, but in front was just a little triangle just below waist level. It was too funny, and obviously not intentional. Oh, the things you notice when you're 16.
