Still bonkers that toy companies didn't jump on a licencing deal for KPop Demon Hunters, and they only showed a "soft interest".
Until Mattel & Hasbro sticks stuff on the shelves, there are these for Christmas 😅

This is a shock if true.
Besides working on a Nelvana series as a character designer, like millions of kids & adults around the world, they filled my childhood with hours of fun & inspiration.
I know many of my peers will be sad at this news. My best to all those who worked with & for the studio.

You know who is good at Director Commentaries?
Phillip Noyce.
I'm watching The Saint, and his commentary is so in-depth. He gets so much information out. It's fantastic. I think he was reading his own Making of the Saint notes.
...still want the Salt 2 film btw.

I've just caught up on the news of Jim Smith passing. His work and artistic inspiration lasted for decades.
He was a layout artist, storyboarder, designer, animator and much more.
His design work in Ren & Stimpy caught my attention as a teenager.
Thoughts go out to family, friends & colleagues 💐

This is something that continues to frustrate me in Australian publishing, and something I keep having to bring up in Australian literary interviews.
I can’t make Nightwing or Neverlanders.

An actress has been hitting the promo circuits on TV & online recently, and not once have I seen or heard them mention their picture book's illustrator.
I can't understand why celebrities refuse to utter the name of the person who visually brought their book to life.

I actually can't wait to see what Leto does with his Skeletor portrayal.
The footage of the live-action ‘MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE’ movie shown at #CinemaCon features all of the He-Man characters in their iconic costumes.
Jared Leto appeared as Skeletor although only as a hooded figure with no face.
See the footage description: bit.ly/AmazonDF25

If you’re staffing, hire everyone who worked on Moon Girl the past 4 years. You will not regret having them on your team. This show was firing all cylinder, A++ on every department.

The fact that there wasn't a 2nd unit on Masters Of The Universe, and Gary Goddard had to shoot every shot, makes me respect the film more.
I'm listening to the commentary, and even though I knew about the budget issues, listening to Goddard talk about the film is fascinating.
