Why not just make animation games again that tap into a user’s creativity with IP while still allowing them to actually create?

I loved playing Tiny Toon Adventures: Cartoon Workshop on my NES when I was younger. If only I still had the VHS tapes I recorded my videos on to see how crazy they were.

Definitely. And even then they had to shoot in Ireland because they knew putting that flag up in America would cause way too much trouble even in 2023.

I know it won't happen, but the new Achievement in Casting Oscar should go to ANNIVERSARY. An insane cast at the very top of their game.

Diane Lane
Kyle Chandler
Madeline Brewer
Zoey Deutch
Phoebe Dynevor
Dylan O'Brien
Mckenna Grace
Daryl McCormack

Come on now.

While @arabfilm.bsky.social don’t yet use their account here, keep November 18th on your calendar as that’s when the 100 Greatest Arab Films of All Time list starts dropping.

I’m excited to see what made it (besides the one I was honored to write a blurb about) and get a watchlist going.

Is Prime the only honest seller saying NO OTHER LAND is available in SD? Or are they the only seller that somehow doesn’t have access to an HD file? Because iTunes and YouTube both say HD.

I can’t conceive why one wouldn’t offer it if the others do.

Anyone know?

I've officially acknowledged my love for THE VOID isn't enough to keep following Steven Kostanski’s career in hopes for another in that vein. PSYCHO GOREMAN was fine and FRANKIE FREAKO and DEATHSTALKER probably are too, but they're not for me.

Maybe Jeremy Gillespie was the one driving that bus.

Dom's context on the Tuch snub and the Sabres having only two players on this list (Dahlin and Thompson) is truly damning to ownership.

Gus Van Sant still has the fans. Insane lineup for DEAD MAN’S WIRE. I haven’t sat front row in a theater in over a decade.

Thank goodness no subtitles.
