It’s difficult to explain to folks who don’t have the same passion; but making stuff, at least for me, isn’t as much of a choice as it is a need.

Cool. Now do stunt performers.
Casting will get some Oscar love next year. A new prize for achievement in casting was added to the Academy Awards in March, a step casting directors believe is long overdue. The 98th Academy Awards will air live on ABC on March 15, 2026.
Oscars recognize casting for the first time, offering a spotlight on a key job in the movie industry

Just need to reiterate this very obvious and objective truth.
In a better world, AI would have already replaced CEOs. Everyone gets a raise, and profits are soaring.

I live in a pretty entitled area of the country. But taking a chair from another table to use as a seat - FOR YOUR HAT - is on a whole new level. I'd understand if it was like a *nice* hat. This was a generic, winter beanie.
I'm also aware of the entitlement presented by complaining about it...

Awesome. Simply awesome. With such subtle, realistic facial animation, it still wouldn't have been as successful as a live-action series. Highly recommended.

It was liberating when I realized that I don't have to give a shit about everything. We don't have to fight every battle. There's only so much bandwidth for outrage.

Everyone's face has the same basic parts: eyes, nose, mouth, etc. But each has the slightest variations that completely alter the way a person looks.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

If Harley Quinn ever gets recast (no shade to Margot Robbie), I would like to nominate Samara Weaving. I think she could crush it.
