...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand they're 404 again.

sigh.

My "replace Imgur with IMGchest" project reached all the way back to the 2019 Retrospective when Imgur magically returned again, so I stopped it there.

Time to fire up IMGchest again.

Haven't we seen this happen over and over again this past decade?

We grew up watching legendary actors who made their signature character iconic, in an epic tale of overcoming great odds in movies and TV shows beloved by entire generations (often passed down to the next)...

... only for the actor to come back and stand side-by-side with progressive directors and say "AKCHEWELLY, my iconic character did NOT live happily ever after and every great victory we achieved was for nothing and here I am to show you it was a BAD END... oh, and here's a bunch of new young progressive characters to shit on me while I literally say out loud how so much better they are than stupid old failures like me."

 

Why are they doing it?

The tales they told were epic. They were legendary stories that enraptured people, who then passed it down to their children. Why would these actors come back decades later to RUIN that story and cut that immortal lifeline and desecrate their memory?

Are they all truly broke? Were they desperate for the paycheck the studios were shoving through their mail slot? Did they really spend every cent they had and were now actors with zero roles and terrified of the humiliating prospect of applying for another job to pay the bills?

 

Is that the way the industry works? Do they keep you on the verge of bankruptcy by making you pay for membership in The Club™ , lest you be blacklisted? Is that it?

Did these legendary actors empty their bank accounts donating to Scientology all these years to guarantee producers hired them because that was "The Club" in those days, and membership was mandatory or you were blacklisted, and now Wokeness™ is the new mandatory membership and not publically regurgitating woke doctrine gets you on the new Hollywood blacklist?

Did the producers come up to them and say "you can either accept the paycheck and help us destroy your legacy, or we can spread the word and no one will ever hire you again. Choose: a legacy that outlives you, or bankruptcy"?

 

What other reason is there? Why do they do it? Their iconic roles and legendary tales would have outlived them for a century or more. But no more. Now no one will show it to their kids, who will go on to show it to theirs. Why do they do it?

Why do they keep doing it?

 

TL;DR:

Back to the Future 4 (2026)

College activist and inexplicably brilliant Zora Floyd (Willow Smith) uses her self-taught mastery of quantum time mechanics to rebuild the Time Machine from scratch.

With little to no help from her belligerent and lowkey racist mentor Martin McFly (now a miserable old divorcee following his arrest for wife-beating) Zora is fiercely determined to change history and prevent the rise of President Biff Tannen and his White Supremacy party so she and her trans girlfriend can finally get married.

The man who now claims he was driven to the attack by reading about GamerGate and listening to right wing streamers like Tim Pool worked as a a "Hemp Artist", lives in Berkely as a part of the "Castro Nudist Protestors", and is shown here officiating his nudist activist wife's polygamous marriage to her 2nd husband so they can live together as husbands and wife in their BLM/Pride flag-draped commune home:

Clause 39 of the Magna Carta, signed by the UK in 1215:

"No free man is to be arrested, or imprisoned, or disseised, or outlawed, or exiled, or in any other way ruined, nor will we go against him or send against him, except by jury of his peers”

"I hereby fine these absent homeless people $100,000."

Yeah... this judge is trolling.

The ones that actually had assetts had their charges dismissed. The ones with nothing were "fined."

The judge knows damn well it's a meaningless judgement. They could've criminally sentenced them, but that would mean actual consequences, so they had to be protected from that. hence the "fine".

100% pure (D).

Indicted and convicted

Indicted and convicted

Is the title supposed to relate to the video in some way?

"Yes, he succeeded in sending these people to prison, but they were released later, so..."

Like fookin magic... all my Imgur albums are working again.

What the actual fuck.

I mean... this is... great news? I don't have to replace every single reddit post I made with new working links.

But... but... I've spent SO MUCH TIME downloading/re-hosting so many of my old albums. I replaced every single Imgur link in my GamerGate 2022 and 2021 Retrospectives, and was just about to start 2020.

I'm grateful I don't have to face the daunting task of downloading/rehosting the 60 or so Vivian James art albums I still had in my To Do list... but still...

All that time spent re-uploading/relinking.

From my GamerGate 2022 Retrospective:

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (anime)

  • After Cyberpunk 2077's disastrous launch, CD Projekt Red faced lawsuits as the game was pulled from the Sony store. But when Studio Trigger released Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, the hit anime saved the floundering franchise, with the character Rebecca becoming an internet sensation. The woke developers recoiled at her appearance and wanted her removed, but the Gainax alumni made it clear: "The loli must stay."

One good thing about reddit was RES. On Scored, it's harder to notice (and control) reply notifications.

Anyway, I've re-hosted all albums here and in my GamerGate 2022 Retrospective... but that still leaves the older retrospectives, plus the Vivian James art albums.

More work to do!

I'm still in the process of backing up/rehosting my shadowbanned Imgur albums (90% complete), but here:

The Nightwatch has reported you for spreading covid misinformation and dangerous thoughts.

On an unrelated note, it sucks that there are more surviving cast members from a 60's scifi show (ST: TOS) than there are from a 90's one (B5).

RIP Garibaldi, Steven, Delen, Vir, G'Kar, Zak.
