Santa Cruz does have a creamy version and it’s great. Stay away from the “no stir” version though. Whatever they do to it to make it no stir, ruins it. I would say, Santa Cruz and Once Again (which got trashed in this article for some reason) are 2 of the best peanut butters I’ve found on the market.

I’m still mad that they’re getting rid of the DVD plan. I noticed this week all the not yet released DVDs that were in my queue were deleted because they will come out after September.

I ended up putting the captions on for Tenet because I couldn’t understand a damn thing that was being said and I’ve never had to do that with a movie before or since.

Yeah, even the ones that are misses for me, I always find at least something in them that make watching the movie worth it to me. Bringing Out the Dead isn’t my favorite Scorsese movie, but that one shot where the ambulance is diving away from the camera and down a boulevard in Manhattan and he tilts the whole image

I wish Scorsese did more comedies. King of Comedy is great too.

I’m afraid that’s not my expertise, so I only have a cursory understanding of what the lighting department does and what is possible and not possible by budget restraints. I do mostly lighting concepts when I work on CG shows - the lighting department does the hard part of getting what I make into a reality

I’m glad that Nimona was able to see the light of day despite the odds against it. I can tell you that as an artist who has worked on projects that have been quietly shelved, its a bummer when your work is not only not shown, but you can’t legally show the work you did on it.

Whatever, Grampa. It isn’t the 1920s anymore, we have moving pictures now.

“Oh no, Comic-Con will be nothing but back issue dealers and comic book artists...sounds wonderful.”

Though I’m curious, because I never really imagined it had happened at all: Are you talking about one of the actual shows, like on the Disney Channel? Or one of the movies? Either way, it’s great if the animators actually get to share some in profits of successful media, though I’d settle for consistently livable

I’m in the industry and I hadn’t heard of anyone getting a substantial bonus since Lion King. I know a couple of people who were on that show and they said they got really nice bonuses. Maybe some people got bonuses at DWs, but I don’t know for sure.

Jack did his best work with Stan. Steve did his best work with Stan.

I had a lot instructors who were old time comic book creators and comic strip artists. None of them had anything nice to say about Stan except that Stan was a GREAT hype man and did have an ear for dialogue - which was the missing ingredient that Jack lacked. These guys would go into detail on how Stan screwed over

Here’s my Wikipedia assessment...Hackman was born into the Great Depression, family moved around, father left at 13, and joined the Marines at 16 (internet says he was a radio operator and doesn’t look like he saw combat but I’m assuming he went through basic). Murray had at least four Irish Catholic brothers, grew

Yeah, my page rate wasn’t great in ‘92, but I made up for in royalties that were more than what I initially made on the whole book. But by ‘95 though, that all went away because the whole industry cratered and prints run were low. Most people weren’t getting royalty checks by then.

I spent 3 years working in comics in the 90's and I know very few people who stayed in. The ones who did though, tell me what page rates from the Big Two are these days and it’s insane that they are sometimes actually lower than when I was still in the industry over 25 years ago. Comics is an awful business run by

When the author of this article dies, what body of work will they be recognized for - is it this article? They could only dream of a 1/16th of the body of work De Niro has created. The arts will be no poorer for this authors passing, but De Niro’s legacy will live on long after his.

The story about Buckethead being star struck when finding out Freese’s dad did the music at Disneyland is both bizarre and somewhat sweet. I worked with someone whose husband was involved with the making Chinese Democracy and I guess Buckethead had a meltdown at the studio one day because he wanted to go to Disneyland

Yeah, this is actually a great choice. Freese is a great drummer.

Numerous major FX shows the last several years have never come out on DVD. Fargo and legion to name examples upon many, are incomplete as dvd franchises. Fargo stops at season 3. Legion at season 1. Can I get some nice DVDs of what we do in the shadows? No, apparently not.
