Though I always pictured Joe Don Baker in the lead. 

Yeah, this is a funny story. If they did it justice, it’s going to be hilarious.

a good Waldrop story:

It’s a great story, Waldrop could use more exposure because he’s a terrific writer. Looking forward to it.

Put up some money to PRODUCE the thing.

If Howard Waldrop wrote the story, Joe Lansdal wrote the screenplay, and D’Onofrio directed, what did Martin do...?

“It was such a dark time,” she noted, in reference to the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the release of her superhero movie. 

This sort of just reminds me of the episode of BoJack Horsemen where they are talking about mass shootings from the perspective of industry people like,
“Its so sad, you always hear about mass shootings affecting other peoples movie openings, but you never think their going to affect your movie opening... of course my…

I think it’s fair to feel really bummed out that your work was released in a way that didn’t favor it.

I still don’t get the need for directors to keep giving this incredibly lukewarm take. Yeah it sucks that the movie you made, a labor of love, didn’t get a full theatrical run. But also...cope. It’s not personal. It’s the result of a global pandemic that has killed ~4.5 million people (so far).

I don’t know, I find the whole pandemic thing a lot more heartbreaking. Just be glad people cane see your work! 

AWWWW WHO’S A GOOD FLUFFY BOY WHO’S MY GOOD FLUFFY FLUFFY BOY!

Look, I get solidarity and all, but as someone who’s been on actual picket lines, I must admit to being irked by the concept being applied to people wanting a game to work differently than it does.

Found the ActivisionBlizzard exec.

Greg Street works at Riot, also known as the other studio that’s neck-deep in the exact culture that’s being denounced here.

“It’s Bidoof somewhere in the world.”

Guess it kinda works.

“The whole part in the article about “ a great number of people are choosing—based on good science and prudence—to maintain social distancing, and to continue to reduce unnecessary trips.” sounds like fearmongering and planning on living inside the rest of your life.””

I know everyone wants the pandemic to be over, I do too. But wanting it to be over and it actually being over are different things. People seem to think that Pokemon Go is just a local game, not a global one. In most countries on earth the majority of people have not had a chance to access the vaccine yet. Just cause…

Well to be fair, niantic is changing their game for a non-pandemic situation when (checks notes) there is still a pandemic.

Oh goody, fourth wave here we come with everyone’s rush to “return to normal”

(this isnt just about pokemon)
