Actually no, what the steam is for in steam generators is spinning things. A naturally spinning power sources is the rare generator that does not involve a steam step.
And despite living on top of a ball which is able to cleanly boil water as close to indefinitely as makes no odds, we still go to great pains to use the dirtiest, least sustainable alternative options. We're an odd species in some ways, aren't we?
By the way, do you know why water is boiled? Are there not liquids with lower boiling points, requiring less energy to be boiled? Or is water just cheaper?
Lower boiling points let you use lower-temperature heat sources, but actually reduce the overall efficiency of the heat engine at converting heat into work - you want as high of a temperature difference between the hot side and the cold side as possible. For the Rankine cycle (the standard "steam turbine" concept), you also need the working fluid to be liquid at ambient temperature so you can cool it with air and then get it up to high pressure as a liquid.
You could try materials with higher boiling points that are still liquid at room temperature, but a lot of them are unpleasant in various ways (e.g. the mercury vapor turbine, which was used for a time but is no longer in use due to a combination of safety issues and improvements in steam turbines that reduced or eliminated its efficiency advantages).
Water is cheap, non-toxic, non-flammable, and has generally good properties for use in the Rankine cycle.
There are liquids with lower boiling points but they are much harder to make a cycle like we can with water while also generally being much more harmful and difficult to clean incase of a leak or something
Hollywood be like "wow, this property is well-loved for its story and literally just its story because it's a fucking book, let's make a movie out of it but make our own story instead"
Sadly that mentality might have propped up more because there are successful and beloved movies that came from such a method. One of those movies is Shrek.
Yup. I was so disappointed when this happened to The Electric State. The book was SO good but of course they had to slap Chris Pratt in there and give the plot line a lobotomy so he could understand it. And that’s being generous. I’d argue the only similarities they really share are the name
Book adaptations are such a fucking crapshoot on whether they actually try or just fucking brainblend it.
It's still baffling to me how there are some old books which are considered classics and have been adapted a bunch of times and every single one is terrible or completely different because the faithful ones were shit and the newer ones decide they have to do their own spin on it
Based the way a kids theme park's foundation is based upon ancient Aztec burial grounds, shits buried so far deep all you see at best are ghosts of what once was
Shit feels like one of those AI-generated Disney posters about offensive subjects people used to make. But they unironically made it into a real movie 😭
Sounds very sus, I always thought Dagoth would be more of a submissive type of guy, well unless you come to him as an argonian, anyway I offer skooma of peace, it's just skooma but I added nimroot for...reasons
It was made by Mormons. They are intentionally misrepresenting the plot. The LDS are fully MAGA, and undermining Orwell is inline with all of their propaganda and disinformation campaigns.
I'm ashamed of all the actors who agreed to this trash. They read the script. They knew what this was going to be. I'm especially shocked by Rogan, Close, and Culkin. Lost so much respect for them.
He probably just read only the first part of the book and decided he knew the entire rest of the plot and based the movie from how he thought the rest of the story went
And to get first mover advantage so that those who see your movie before they get to the book will find it more difficult to understand what the book was about.
The old one isn't even that bad, they basically just added a happy ending at the end so that it didn't end on such a downer. Pretty standard Hollywoodization of a story.
This one... hoo boy. I might have had a stroke halfway through the trailer. Does anyone else smell burnt toast?
One of my favorite details in the book is that the animals that we see at the end of the novel are mainly nameless outside of the animals we already saw at the beginning of the novel. It's easy to miss, but in my opinion, it solidifies how the animals were basically turned nameless and into tools.
This new movie throws all of the subtlety and throws it in the garbage.
Just looking from the trailer and at the interviews this genuinely has very little to do with the actual Animal Farm novel in my eyes aside from using the names and certain known passages as weird catchphrases.
The actual story is an allegory documenting the systematic decline into totalitarianism. The movie seems to be about the generic evil corporation being defeated by the power of friendship and beating up the bad guy.
As somebody who's read the book and seen both film adaptations. Yes. The CIA one is mostly accurate to the book, the only major change is with the ending
I think I read somewhere they edited it to make Snowball a far less sympathetic character than the original script for the film or the novel called for, since he’s based on Trotsky. Unlike Orwell, who was a democratic socialist of sorts, the CIA wasn’t interested in painting any communist leaders in a decent light, even ones who were exiled and murdered by their tyrannical rival.
The CIA demanded changes to make Snowball's ideals more unrealistic (Orwell's version had a lot more nuance), Said that outside of the school house scene only the pigs should be allowed to speak (animals spoke throughout the book), and had a lot of the anti-capitalism messaging that Orwell, who was a socialist, had included scrubbed (He was for DEMOCRATIC socialism, where as Animal Farm is specifically about Stalin/Authoritarian Socialism), and of course had the animals rise up against Napoleon at the end (The USSR was still very much active. This was a threat)
They also waited until Orwell was dead and then badgered his widow to sell the film rights to them under false pretenses.
Splendid news, George Orwell now joins J.R.R. Tolkien in the prestigious club of writers who are spinning in their graves so hard that they were hooked up to turbines to produce clean energy
In the trailer one pig says the "some animals are more equal" line, which is so weird because the line is from the last page of the book and kinda the pointe of the book.
Which is like putting O'brien saying "if you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever"
Its not a funny punchline or a catchphrase. Its literally meant to be the carthasis of the story
bro, they spoiled the entire book and gave away the entire plot in the trailer. the fun part of it was seeing these small transformations in retoric and treatment by the pigs, little by little. how can you show the ending and the pigs plotting with the humans IN THEIR CITIES in the trailer already
Trailers have done that since the concept was invented, watch old trailers from the 30s/40s/50s and they give the whole movie away. Soylent Green, released in 1973, gives away the twist in the trailer. It's not at all "new" thing. If anything, most modern trailers don't give everything away.
The plot is one thing, most people are probably gonna go in already knowing it, the thing they gave away is all of their spin on it, which is basically all they had to draw people in, cause again, an adaptation of an extremely well known story.
And their spin is absolute shit, the only demographic for Animal Farm but generic children’s animated comedy is probably just youtubers who shit on movies.
The moral of Animal Farm was always that problems only come from outside evil forces, of course! No good-seeming person would ever just turn evil, it must be that they're being manipulated by the bad guys
I’m pretty sure it’s with an extension. The number isn’t exact, since I think it has to guess based on algorithm stuff, but it gets it surprisingly close.
More precisely they get the like to dislike ratio of the video of extension users and use the actual number of like predict the number of dislike. It's a simple cross product
And since it's a prediction it can be incorrect depending on the ppl who watch the video
I refuse to believe people purposefully made this movie. It’s slightly piss-tinted and sucks so bad that not even boardroom meddling really explains its existence. This movie is the product of the SAG strikes, and the fact it’s this miserable as a trailer is the whole reason why they happened to begin with
To be honest I genuinely don't get who this is for or what's the point- kids aren't really into Animal Farm and people into the book (presumably) don't want a Illumination-esque version of the story.
The Jim Henson version, had the corniest ending ever.
At the last minute everything turns bright and sunny and a new human family straight from a 1950s sitcom drives up in a convertible with "Blueberry Hill" playing!
it reminds me of The Lorax (2012) in that it was a good book with an important message and it gets turned into overproduced, marketable slop, probably because the company working on it saw themselves in the antagonist(s) too much, despite the fact that someone else did it infinitely better a long time ago
can't wait for it to become the next Morbius or Tron: Ares
Ok I haven't seen the trailer, and he learned this animal farm adaptation exist quite literally 5 minutes ago through reddit memes.
But let's be honest, I'm 80% sure that part of the reason anyone thought this was a good idea was exactly because of this "all publicity is good publicity" mindset, now everyone has a take on how this butchers the original or not, and a lot more people will at least be curious enough to go watch it in theaters.
This movie will end with the small pig kicking the older pig out (I forgot their names, I guess the one leading the revolt is called Napoleon in the book but they don't name him there), become the new ruler of the farm, and the animals will live happily ever after.
i.e every talking animals kids' movie ever.
There will almost certainly not be famines, any of the main characters dying to the hands of the pigs, more than a week's worth of work done by the animals, or basically anything that gave the original novel its weight.
The CIA version was, well, CIA-funded, but it is mostly accurate to the novel aside from the second revolution they add to the ending.
how did they make a fucking marvel quip movie about a book about authoritarianism. i think ol' georgey will have lots of material for his novels if he could foresee anything like this happening.
Going to be controversial. Before I start that, yes, the trailer is shit. It's awful.
That being said, I'm not against the idea of a new version of Animal Farm updated to the modern day with modern fascists and big tech as the villains.
My only hope is that this a psyop. That Angel will take down the trailer soon and put up a new one that's a lot grimmer, or when the film releases, it keeps the modern spin but its very brutal and otherwise faithful to the original.
Man you know. If it was ACTUALLY based on the book it would have been an amazing education movie for teens/kids, now its just one of those that your 6 year old will beg you to go to the theatre one more times because it has colours and explosions.

Me hooking up a generator next to Orwell’s coffin to generate infinite electricity.
Does it boil water?
Actually no, what the steam is for in steam generators is spinning things. A naturally spinning power sources is the rare generator that does not involve a steam step.
Actually we use the power generated by the spinning to boil water to spin a turbine
https://i.redd.it/w45b4gu0yu6g1.gif
I know, just memeing since IT ALWAYS BOILS DOWN TO BOILING WATER in most cases
And despite living on top of a ball which is able to cleanly boil water as close to indefinitely as makes no odds, we still go to great pains to use the dirtiest, least sustainable alternative options. We're an odd species in some ways, aren't we?
There's the understatement of the century
Generally liquids boil upwards
The problem being how are we going to glue all these magnets to his body when he is spinning so damn fast
By the way, do you know why water is boiled? Are there not liquids with lower boiling points, requiring less energy to be boiled? Or is water just cheaper?

All electrical generators use spinning because humans are a spiral race, solar power is an affront to this law

Coming soon... 1984 directed by Adam Sandler and staring rob schneider!
And after that, The Diary of Anne Frank by Illumination.
Minions cameo?
It’s actually a Minions mid-quel, where the Minions are just following the most evil person around.
at the post credits scene it reveals who truly killed Hitler (hint: they are yellow and like bananas)
During the credits we get to see the Minions teach Hitler how to do the Macarena.
that’s how he died, doing dances before it was cool is a federal crime you know
Fuck, I'd kill myself too, if faced with that
The fact that canonically they made the minions go into exile during the time of the world wars is the funniest shit to me
Singing modern pop while leading the victims of the holocaust to their demise. Fart jokes while pulling the levers. The atrocities would be endless
They were too scared to be true to those yellow freaks.
They would characterize Anne as a dorky 2000s teeen for the plot and it would be the most disrespectful thing ever
The Snapchat Story of Anne Frank
Reading this sentence made me nauseous
I instantly regretted typing it out but something something "art is supposed to make you uncomfortable".
Can't wait for them to do, "The boy in the striped pajamas"
At least Adam Sandler have some good movies
in the room 101 torture scene: “no no no, I feel no pain”
Holy shit its Baldur vs Big Brother
with jack black as o’brien
"The thing that is in Room 6 7 is the worst thing in the world." Rob Schneider fart noises
Rated PG-13!
Rob Schneider is..... [CENSORED]!
Rob Schneider is,,, Big Brother!
coming soon to theaters near you.
I trust Adam Sandler more than most directors these days
"Based on the masterpiece by george orwell"
I do not think they know what based means
"It's when you take an story and change 80% of it for marketability, right?"- Hollywood higher ups
Hollywood be like "wow, this property is well-loved for its story and literally just its story because it's a fucking book, let's make a movie out of it but make our own story instead"
Sadly that mentality might have propped up more because there are successful and beloved movies that came from such a method. One of those movies is Shrek.

Cringe on the masterpiece by George Orwell
"based on" can mean literally anything as long as there's a loose strand to it. You can write "based on history" on 100% of books.
Yeah, O’ Brother Where Art Thou is based on The Odyssey, and it’s probably more adherent to the source material than Cinderella was.
Based the way a kids theme park's foundation is based upon ancient Aztec burial grounds, shits buried so far deep all you see at best are ghosts of what once was
Andy Serkis, George Orwell, Seth Rogen, and ANGEL studios... What a strange combination of people.
i watched it dear god how the fuck do you mess that up so bad
When you're losing critical understanding of a George Orwell book to Ben Shapiro, you have serious problems.
Shit feels like one of those AI-generated Disney posters about offensive subjects people used to make. But they unironically made it into a real movie 😭
Dagoth it's me Nerevar, please go back to Morrowind, we miss you, Tod Howard misses you please come back
You're 30 mins into look upon the heart and chill when he calls you sweet Nerevar, wyd
I stop communing with the orb and kiss him on his hot mouth, I'm feeling romantical
He tells you to lay down your weapon yet he brandishes his and begins wielding it....

On purpose for engagement.

I can’t finish the trailer it’s so cookie cutter and a blatant bastardized version of the book.

I can tell you the trailer gets more and more unhinged towards the end.
All movie are equals, but some are more equals than others
Look on the bright side. You can't have good movies without bad movies as a bar
wasnt the CIA-funded one mostly accurate to the story besides the ending?
And ironically with the fall of the Iron Curtain it's arguably the most accurate to IRL events at all.
Ironically Iron Curtain.

Because the creators probably identify with the pigs
Splendid news, George Orwell now joins J.R.R. Tolkien in the prestigious club of writers who are spinning in their graves so hard that they were hooked up to turbines to produce clean energy
Oh, yeah, I forgot that H.G. Wells is in this club too
What did H.G. Wells write that was adapted?
War of Worlds. It got a new adaptation this year and it was abysmal dogshit
The Time Machine, the Invisible Man, the Island of Doctor Moreau, War of the Worlds.
Also [The Shape of] Things to Come
the new invisible man was pretty good
War of the Worlds

He made 1984 in 1944

presumably all the rabbits are gonna do a choreographed dance to a Taylor Swift single
i’ve never read the books, but i did see the netflix adaptation, is it sufficiently accurate

Coming next year, the feel good family film of the summer. Don't forget to Rope in your friends and family. Illumination's The Turner Diaries.
I must have missed the chapter where they drive a sports car into a pool
Surprisingly this part does actually fit into the themes of the book. One of the pigs does get rich and flaunts it to the other animals.
The parts where the animals have a farmers market or work together to stop an attack by a corporation are not even remotely related to the book.
Buddy does NOT remember the Battle of the Cowshed and the traitorous coward Snowball’s betrayal.
Thank god we have such a strong leader in Napoleon to lead our farm in these tough economic times.
Or the Chapter where an Evil Corporativist allies with Napoleon to install a Puppet Goverment in The Farm
The moral of Animal Farm was always that problems only come from outside evil forces, of course! No good-seeming person would ever just turn evil, it must be that they're being manipulated by the bad guys
aaand its being made by a right-wing, christian distributor (angel). wtf happened to andy serkis, is he washed
Fuck he’s in this?
yeah hes directing it
Maybe he should stick to acting
It was bought by. I bit of a distinction and should be a huge indication of how bad this is. No one else wanted it but Angel.
Kieran Culkin is in it too :(
And Jim Parsons :(
though that said if one of the pigs says “bazinga” I take back everything I said about this movie /s
"All animals are equal but some are more equal than others"
"Bazinga!"
I just looked at the IMDb and the cast is pretty staked ngl. Sad the movie is most likely going up be shit

How it looks rn
I am proud to be a part of the 3k, even if dislikes literally don't do anything anymore.
how do you see dislikes
Chrome addon, called return youtube dislike. I believe it extrapolates from the people who use it, but I could be wrong
I’m pretty sure it’s with an extension. The number isn’t exact, since I think it has to guess based on algorithm stuff, but it gets it surprisingly close.
More precisely they get the like to dislike ratio of the video of extension users and use the actual number of like predict the number of dislike. It's a simple cross product
And since it's a prediction it can be incorrect depending on the ppl who watch the video
I'm hoping it's a huge bait and switch where the actual movie is presented cutesy and finishes off just as brutal as the real story (coping)
IF that happens, it will be absolutely legendary.
But it won't.

I couldn’t make it even a minute through, as someone who has recently read animal farm for the first time, this is just… what the fuck?
To be honest I genuinely don't get who this is for or what's the point- kids aren't really into Animal Farm and people into the book (presumably) don't want a Illumination-esque version of the story.

No just very unoriginal

I know its a baseless conspiracy but it is a great timing for slandering of anti-authoritarian pieces
it reminds me of The Lorax (2012) in that it was a good book with an important message and it gets turned into overproduced, marketable slop, probably because the company working on it saw themselves in the antagonist(s) too much, despite the fact that someone else did it infinitely better a long time ago

I don’t think that the families want to do the “Sausage Party mistake” twice
Is it? What children even read animal farm today?
I'm a zoomer and we still read it when I was in HS
It feels like the studio is trying to dumb down the story for children because the actual book is too dark for them
Granted, I don't know why they would take a book that's not for children and try to make it for them.
It has talking animals, of course it's for kids!
There's no way it could be an allegory or anything, just pure kids stuff.
Youtubers who cover bad movies, thats the only real demographic i see for this movie.
One of the lines said was "I'd rather gouge my eyes out" and it's the perfect description to what I want to do after seeing that shit.
I need that cat spinning gif
Wait did they like somehow manage to remove the Stalinism metaphors?
Deadass feels like they were scared to go with the book’s original messages out of fear of the current US administration
The more likely answer is that execs think this slop will make more money but still
Apparently there's people glazing it because "it's a kid's movie".

This movie will end with the small pig kicking the older pig out (I forgot their names, I guess the one leading the revolt is called Napoleon in the book but they don't name him there), become the new ruler of the farm, and the animals will live happily ever after.
i.e every talking animals kids' movie ever.
There will almost certainly not be famines, any of the main characters dying to the hands of the pigs, more than a week's worth of work done by the animals, or basically anything that gave the original novel its weight.
The CIA version was, well, CIA-funded, but it is mostly accurate to the novel aside from the second revolution they add to the ending.
Andy Serkis really out here doing anything but releasing tintin 2

H.g Wells:
how did they make a fucking marvel quip movie about a book about authoritarianism. i think ol' georgey will have lots of material for his novels if he could foresee anything like this happening.
Ah yes, this dark, authoritarian dictator character that's meant to be a reflection of Stalin himself......yeah let's get Seth Rogan to voice him
Orwell's been spinning in his grave this whole century
Okay so,
Going to be controversial. Before I start that, yes, the trailer is shit. It's awful.
That being said, I'm not against the idea of a new version of Animal Farm updated to the modern day with modern fascists and big tech as the villains. My only hope is that this a psyop. That Angel will take down the trailer soon and put up a new one that's a lot grimmer, or when the film releases, it keeps the modern spin but its very brutal and otherwise faithful to the original.
this movie actually already premiered a teaser trailer and even had a premier a couple months back
Name of the gif? Pleeeeeeeease
Man you know. If it was ACTUALLY based on the book it would have been an amazing education movie for teens/kids, now its just one of those that your 6 year old will beg you to go to the theatre one more times because it has colours and explosions.
So this post made we watch the trailer...
Chat it's so fucking bad
literally 1984
