From animation of Hiccup and Toohtless’s crucial moment to live-action.

I honestly am kinda in mixed about this. Don’t get me wrong though. I am grateful of Gerard Butler coming back as Stoik.

But I feel an live action remake was unnecessary. Studios are now in the boat as Disney: wanting to o squeeze all the money they can from the animated movies.

This first look video of the How To Train Your Dragon film really feels like a plea to fans. Dean DeBlois, director of all three animated films and this live action adaptation, saying that he wanted to return, he saw it as a great opportunity. He specifically says that he hopes fans of the animated films will understand that it “comes from a place of love and it comes from a place of respect”.

I’ll admit, I forgot that the original director (except for Chris Sanders) was directing this film. I’m still really iffy about this but that gives me a little hope, even if the teaser didn’t sell me on it.

One wild thing about Universal cutting up all those trees is I first heard about tree law like, maybe a month ago. One of my mutuals reblogged that one comic and my reaction was sort of mildly amused, but also a little confused as to why tree law seemed to be so popular of all things

It really feels like some great karmic entity leaned down and said hey here’s the set up to a joke that won’t get a punchline for a little while. But when it does you’re gonna love it

Look. I have literally no horse in this race when it comes to the WGA/SAG Hollywood strike. I do not watch enough TV or movies to be affected and I’m not a part of the industry. I really haven’t cared.

As a lawyer and orchardist, however, I am now utterly entranced by the fact that some Universal Studios exec thought it was a good idea to cut down city-owned trees in the middle of summer.

There is no way to get around the absolute clusterfuck they have brought down upon themselves.

First, the ownership question. These trees are not owned by Universal. They’re the City of Los Angeles’ trees. That means the responsibility, and the right, to maintain them belongs to the city government. If you want to touch city property like that, you better have their permission. If not, you’re looking at anything from fines, to replacement/maintenance costs, to jail time.

Now, I don’t know LA, and I’m not licensed in California, but a lot of cities also require permits for any massive trimming like that that can affect public property (like the roads and sidewalks).

Second, they have zero excuses that can even remotely minimize the trouble they’re in. Anything that justifies that kind of pruning at this time of year would have likely required the full removal and destruction of the trees.

Because that level of pruning? You don’t do that in summer. You absolutely do not do that in summer unless the trees are dying or infested with something. Why? Because summer is healthy growth time. Summer is when your trees need all the energy they can get so they can grow and strengthen their branches and roots.

It’s also when they’re susceptible to diseases. Various bacteria, fungi, and insects strike during the summer and can cause severe damage. By trimming those trees so severely, not only are there a ton of gapping wounds for diseases to enter the tree, they’re now stressed by trying to replace that lost growth, which makes it even harder for them to survive any further damage.

Basically, Universal Studios might end up accidentally killing the trees. Which will make everything so much worse.

So, yeah. Now I’m invested.

Prompt 3: wizards

I had the idea of all the Arcadia kids going on vacation. Since Blinky mentions theme parks and Florida, Dreamwork’s being owned by Universal, what about are three favourite scorcerers having fun at universal studios Harry Potter. Enjoy there shenanigans.

Zoe is so done.
