Now that is some fine customization, and Riccioni's shots are high grade. Some of the gimbal work is top notch in the article.

I rather enjoy attending car shows to see what wacky ideas people come up with. Like the attached.

I think you've misunderstood the artist's intention.

Incorrect. You, though, clearly do not understand mine. As per usual.

Todd, perhaps rather than jumping on @SimonNZ , maybe talk about what you think the work is about? And, Simon, explain more at your end. It's about communication not conflict...which, sadly, there was none of here.

Kalevala, you clearly misunderstood the obvious intention behind SimonNZ's post. Also, the topic is about pictures you like, not art you like. I couldn't care less about Banksy's work. That is not why I like the posted photograph. I am under no obligation to explain why I like a picture.

Fair enough, but I couldn't really say more than that without getting into a political discussion and possibly a prolonged and inevitably fruitless one.

I was implying that Todd would be rooting for the protester getting hurt/silenced. And I guess that his posting it was inviting someone to say so. I didn't have to take the bait, of course.

The image has been scrubbed off the courthouse it was painted on to, apparently:

Banksy mural scrubbed from Royal Courts of Justice

Wrong again. As per usual.

A still won't capture the scale of what we are now reliably told shows ~100K people.

Not being up on movies--which is it.

And a superhero dog!

THE CANINE CAPED CRUSADER!
Edit: found the film.
But now I need to know about the dog.

Superman (2025) is the film, and it is a great time.

It is my kind of superhero film - fun - not drab and serious like a lot of the MCU.

And it exceeded my expectations, as I thought Cavill was the best Superman ever (and I still think that), but Corenswet was an excellent replacement.

The dog is great (and is also super).

It is one of the few superhero films I would recommend - it was so much fun, and I'll definitely buy it, as it is very rewatchable.
