The current use of AI can be equated to NFTs in that it is a grift by people who don’t understand art but want to profit off of it. For some reason, business types don’t want to use AI to erase the tedious parts of human existence but the artistic ones that people enjoy creating.

he is making a new version of Avatar: The Last Airbender, so he clearly thinks there’s something to be gained from it.

Live action remakes of cartoons are garbage. Fantastical happenings always work better in animation. This is movin in the wrong direction. Instead of live action remakes, we need animated shows instead of live action for stuff like the Wheel of Time show. Would be 1 mil times better if it was animated like Castlevania…

Doctor Strange actually saw two outcomes where they beat Thanos, but he likes Scott so he didn’t want to mention the second unless he really had to.

It’s a stupid theory, but also, why are reporters asking about it? The Duffer Brothers wouldn’t give away their ending even if it were true. Why is a dumb fan theory, possibly not even seriously considered by the people who put it out there, worth talking about to the creators? Just because something is on the…

I always ask the question of this type of fan theory: what would it add to the story? What would be the significance of it being a dream? For example, I remember reading somewhere that some people thought that Phoebe in ‘Friends’ was daydreaming about being friends with five other people she saw through a coffee shop…

I only know Dr Doom via the cartoon samples MF DOOM used on his albums. 

I don’t know that much about Dr Doom outside a few comics I read as a kid, but this sounds right.

I’m looking forward to the Dutch black metal rock opera based on the murders, and the Sierra point-and-click adventure game where you play the author of the novelization of the film version of the rock opera.

Jeez.... those were fun facts!

Only after they turn it into a Broadway Musical.

This is kind of what I think.  TLJ should have been a trilogy ender not a middle piece.  Oh well.  I still think TLJ is a great Star Wars movie.

even funnier that he probably had to read a weird color-coded version with only his dialogue and had to piece together what happens.

His arc was great from TFA to TLJ. It took a nosedive in TROS when his redemption came via deus ex hallucination of his dead father with recycled dialogue.

arguably the most valuable and beloved IP in entertainment at the time

I would be troubled by Han’s death not just being in vain, but contributing to Ben’s final transformation into Kylo.

Fun to hear that people who were actually inside the production were as surprised as the general public that they decided to wing it with arguably the most valuable and beloved IP in entertainment.

I thought his arc was about how he changes a small town for the better and, shockingly, the small town changes him, too.

Here’s someone with probably a $40-$50m net worth who has lived a life of endless luxury since the 90s. Its 30 years later, he’s aged, and not the “hotter younger” brother of Frasier, but an old man too. He can only either get a “hey this isn’t terrible but wow that guy looks old” or very badly embarrass himself for…

Admittedly knowing very little about him, he strikes me as the kind of person who would prefer to do work that interests him over money he doesn’t need. Given that he was making about $1M per episode, I’m gonna guess he doesn’t need anymore money.
