I'm sad the "Auteur Theory" has a bad reputation among Millenials and Gen Z
At its core, all it meant was that the creator's personality adds something tangible to a work
Truffaut wanted to explain why uneven, poorly-made films were so compelling. It's especially relevant now that AI is a thing

I stopped by “The Late Show” (soon to be the LATE Late Show) to give Mr. Colbert a piece of my hand-drawn mind.

Just gonna say since we're already talking about unionizing game writers: hey, maybe let us localizers in on those talks, too, because it's pretty fucking rough out there, even in AAA. I'd probably have three times as many credits if we were unionized and I'm one of the lucky ones with any at all.
Nioh 3, developed by Koei Tecmo and localized in 11 languages, does NOT feature any #TranslatorsInTheCredits. A few members of Localization staff are included in the LQA credits, but none of the actual translators are credited. Source: GamersPrey

Every president from Nixon on released their tax returns, but Trump -- who insisted he would follow that custom -- repeatedly refused to do that. So finally they were leaked, showing he paid only $750 in 2016 and nothing in 2017.
He's now demanding all of us, who *did* pay our full taxes, pay him.

do you have any idea how chill you have to be for sex workers to say they felt unusually safe around you WHILE you smoked crack?!
I wanna personally congratulate Hunter Biden for not only being nowhere near the Epstein files but for having rock-solid reviews from sex workers for respectfulness and tipping

This reminds me a little of Mel Brooks dealing with studio notes.
![From the New Yorker (2021): You have some wonderful stories of basically getting away with stuff at thestudios.
I’d learned one very simple trick: say yes. Simply say yes. Like Joseph E. Levine, on“The Producers,” said, “The curly-haired guy—he’s funny looking. Fire him.” Hewanted me to fire Gene Wilder. And I said, “Yes, he’s gone. I’m firing him.” Inever did. But he forgot. After the screening of “Blazing Saddles,” the head ofWarner Bros. threw me into the manager’s offi ce, gave me a legal pad and a pencil,and gave me maybe twenty notes. He would have changed “Blazing Saddles” froma daring, funny, crazy picture to a stultified, dull, dusty old Western. He said, “Nofarting.” I said, “It’s out.”
That’s probably the most famous scene in the movie, the
campfire scene
.
I know. He said, “You can’t punch a horse.” I said, “You’ll never see it again.” I keptsaying, “You’re absolutely right. It’s out!” Then, when he left, I crumpled up all hisnotes, and I tossed it in the wastepaper basket. And John Calley, who was running[production at] Warner Bros. at the time, said, “Good filing.” That was the end ofit. You say yes, and you never do it.
