“Asking for more…will not damage a multi-billion dollar company.”

Taking or not taking a commission for art has nothing to do with being “ethical”, unless the request is for a harmful image (e.g. a swastika without context). If she doesn’t think it’s worth her time, that’s her business decision to make (I can’t blame her, I typically won’t give up more than limited copyright in my…

$3k for an illustration isn’t really lowballing, depending on a few factors:

I’ve been coming here daily since the late 90s. At this point it’s just instinct, but an increasingly masochistic one.

I mean, I was pretty obviously being dismissive of what I consider to be mindless corporate bullshit.

One of these days I’ll navigate away from the AVC and, without realizing it, will never return.  This article has pushed me much closer to that point. 

I love the thought that IKEA would sue because a ravenous hole in the ground is too close to their stores.

That’s a shame. Sounded interesting.

Poor, naive Mr. Roberts... Cancel the Kickstarter? Non, non cher monsieur. You complete the kickstarter, then move the pledge system to a private platform. Make roadmaps which show playable monster parts and expanded in-gut universes, “procedurally generated, yet hand-crafted”. Sell Meat Armors and Skinwagons (that…

Ah, Costner is one of those Both Sides Are Bad So Vote Republican types

I have stopped listening to some movie podcasts because of their tendency to attribute EVERY. FUCKING. DECISION. to the director. I like the hosts of Generation Lost but had to stop on their most recent episode about In the Bedroom because they attributed a bunch of story decisions to director Todd Field. But Field…

I think it’s a form of FinDom when you really get down to it.

I’m not crazy about the fat-shaming myself but that’s objectively how the victim described him. I don’t get the sense anywhere that the writer is saying that Weinstein is a monster for having the audacity to be a rapist AND fat. As for the penis-shaming... look, that’s HIS penis the victim (and the author) is…

““He was grabbing my breasts and jerking off and squinting at me with this look,” Young continued,”
YOUNG continued? I thought this was a Doe #2? Someone needs to slap an editor’s wrist for this blunder. 

2. This wasn’t an accidental liking spree, it was an intentional sharing spree: he is using sex to sell his album.

We went to Disney World last summer family of 4, we stayed for 7 days. We stayed in one of the Disney owned resorts and it was $3600 for all the park tickets and hotel. Then we probably spent maybe another $1000 on souvenirs and food. While it was alot of money in the long run we had a great time and my kids just went…

I know you guys don’t have a ton of control of this. But the absolutely DISGUSTING ads you’re serving up are hard.

Just pictures of people with horrible wounds.

Stange shots of things with holes or bubbles that look like human flesh wounds but are just weird plants. Then clickbait subject lines that have nothing to do…

Examples? As much as I hate Cavill no longer being the Witcher... I don’t blame him. He will most likely getting paid a lot more for Superman and he is reprising a role he didn’t want to leave in the first place (it was just so poorly mismanaged).

What a terrible idea to try to replace Cavill instead to replace the Witcher role. Cavill was, at first, hard to imagine as Geralt because he is a beautiful man and Geralt is ugly in a kind of sexy way, but Cavill acted with such passion for the character that it was hard not to like him after the end of the first…

You’re thinking of Luke Hemsworth, he’s the Hemsworth brother who played Thor in Love and Thunder
