Agh fuck. I think I vaguely remember my dad's computer doing this when I was a kid and it was the loudest shit ever.

It's fascinating getting this snapshot into the world my parents lived in where everything was awful.

Also can someone clue me in on what the fuck those things even are? Some sort of hologram?

MagicEye images. You have to unfocus your eyes a bit, then you can see a 3d shape within it.

It's a trap designed by the vision industry, to fuck up people's eyes until they need glasses.Ah, so it's more foul 90's sorcery.
Nice to know.

Those things never worked for me, even when I was a kid.

I'm not sure. This seems more like the face of the man they are targeting.

Yeah, but Clint's famous for being nostalgic for tech that existed before he was even born. As well as every odd obscure tech thing you can imagine.
He may not have the years. But he has the nostalgia.
Clint is however more focused on computer technology while Matt from Techmoan has a much more general focus. Though I guess a more one to one comparison would be would be Ben from Oddity Archive. Though as long as we agree they are marketing to outdated technology youtubers I think we are in agreement.

Laserdisc did become king. They just had to make it smaller and more portable and also long enough to actually fit a whole fucking movie on it and call it a DVD.I swear to god that if I ever get retcon control of the unvierse I'm making lazer disc king. Where it belongs.
I think the fire trails for the mohawk hair make it look visually stunning, especially in motion.
I'm really excited to see potential character designs for the suit and how it might change.
I'm curious if this film got any budget help from the military for practical effects like the Transformers film did.
I was curious and Googled Captain Marvel on reddit.
The top threads included subreddits and forums like Marvel and movies, which made sense.
Though right under those, the other active reddits talking about the film were the Donald Trump fan site, Gamer Gate, and 'games journalism' sites talking about how the film would bomb and how the actor was an ugly, horrible, boring, untalented person.
At least for this topic, it seems there is a lot of overlap among those groups.
Looks like there's a somewhat organized counter culture/culture war type negative marketing movement, similar to movements against Mad Max Fury Road and Ghostbusters 2016.
I'm sure there will be people outside of those groups who dislike the movie when it comes out, as no media is for everyone, but its notable that before the movie is even out these groups seem to be actively organizing and campaigning for its failure. Of course, not every group is coordinated or as 'extreme' but they all seem to have similar goals, and there might be other groups involved. The ones listed above are the ones that seem to have the biggest Internet footprint of Marvel dislikers on search engines currently.
Trouble is, I think people are letting the negative people 'take over' the narrative a little by acknowledging it. Some people do not like it, and they're unlikely to change their minds. So I'll just shut up about this now.

I'm cautiously optimistic this movie may be good. Waited years for a good Captain Marvel adaption (Marvel Comics has made NO ONE look good ever since Civil War in the comic storyline, but Carol took some of the worst character assasination. Stark managed to be even worse. For quite a few years. (There's a very good reason why the Robert Downey Jr adaption is so well beloved and used as the default personality in fanfiction thats not even the MCU) Even Captain America had his day of looking like hypocritical trash in the AvengersVSXmen storyline.).
So, I'm just going to take everything that's not actually the movie, filter it as white noise, and not let it impact my probable enjoyment of the film. Gal Gadot was able to carry a film and make it great, so there's hope Brie Larson can too.

The negative basement dwellers are irrelevant. This film is tracking gigantic. Domestic opening could go over $150 million, advance sales in China correspond to grossing ~ $200 million in that release window (Civil War did $180m and this is comparable/better) etc.
Doesn't say anything about quality but do the haters matter on the scale/atmosphere around the film? Obviously not.
