Yeah that too. Weird how there’s this double standard.

Somebody tell SecDef that the founding fathers said in the Treaty of Tripoli of 1796, in no uncertain terms, that the US is not a Christian nation.

Netflix Taps Ben Affleck to Help Get More Filmmakers to Use AI The video streaming company announced that is buying Ben Affleck's AI tech company InterPositive.

Affleck can go fuck himself. What a traitor.

That’s adorbs. My dog knows that as soon as the TV turns off, it’s time to go to her crate for the night.

When somebody brags about no green or blue screen but says there were over 2,000 VFX, all that means is that a whole lot of extra rotoscoping work was sent to computer artists India and Vietnam.

It’s going to be hilarious if the big announcement is just about a Rookie/Sheriff Country crossover.

That's even better.

On YouTube one of the comments is "Yellowstone Lanterns" and that's also accurate.

There was a great British television show in the 70s called Danger UXB which goes into great detail why it might not be the best idea to climb on unexploded missiles like the photo below. Highly recommend it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_...

Florence Henderson, the Brady Bunch mom, kissed me on the cheek after the taping of a TV special we both appeared on in the 80s (I was playing with a band on the show).

That’s why TV manufacturers keep trying to push 3D TVs every decade or so, but nobody wants those. People are happy with their 55” TV and they don’t need 3D goggles to watch Sheriff Country. And definitely nobody wants to make content for 3D TV. The financials don’t pan out with the extra expense.

Literally my very first animation I ever created was a Valkyrie flying over Minmay, made on a 1984 black and white original Apple Macintosh with Macromedia Videoworks. While answering phones at the Trojan Marching Band office in college. That’s how much Robotech rocked. It started my VFX career.

Ever so slight reminder that a ton of the industry uses Unreal. And Epic is partially owned by Tencent.

That’s not a salary for a VP at a tiny independent VFX or animation vendor, let alone the VP of a major motion picture studio.

This is how you do it. Somebody wake up Schumer and Jeffries from their hibernation pods and make them watch this recording.

I’m a sucker for any pun-based business. Some of my favorite real business names are β€œThai Tanic”, β€œBarber Streisand” and β€œFlorist Gumpβ€œ. I’ve personally thought A LOT about some day opening a Vietnamese noodle restaurant called β€œPhΓ΄ Gettaboutit”.
