Andrew Stanton: “ok this looks good, let’s get ready to roll” Some guy: (whispering) …John Carter… Andrew Stanton: (stops in his tracks, makes eye contact, smiles) Thanks so much man. That means so much to me. I’m glad it found its audience (walks off) Some guy: I…I meant it as an insult!
Alan Moore on imagination, young artists vs old, and dreams vs the real world
(Palance voice) SOLLLLLLAR CRISIS (puts cigar in mouth) I wanna work on a thirty million dollar Japanese sci-fi…With Charlton Heston-let’s see who craps bigger.
Important newsflash! In the 1950s Chris Marker hand drew tiny comics in English, that portrayed his friend Agnes Varda as a kind of superhero This one has the best opening line ever. Also many cats.
This is an authentic IUD from the 1950s It took 220v and they had to plug your grandmother into the wall
This article is getting rightly shat on However This not an isolated opinion: There are many deeply boring men who also really feel this way. That Taskamaster shouldn’t have funny tasks or silly solutions , that it should all be taken very seriously These are the same men who ruin every game
Something that every Christmas Carol adaptation gets wrong, except the Richard Williams animation Scrooge is a miser, solitary, BUT like all boring people, he THINKS he’s witty See Dickens gives him all these terrific lines “with a stake of Holly through his heart” “More of gravy than the grave”
I heard a story of the SFX artists showing the matte painting to Joe Dante. Then someone said “Wouldn’t it be cool to have a shadow of Santa’s sleigh fly across the moon?” And Dante lost it “NEVER suggest something that GOOD unless you can deliver it! Now that’s ALL I want!”

I’m thankful for all the Zork games of the 80s and 90s. Especially the one with dodgy full motion video.
There’s an incredible sequence in REMEMBER MY NAME where Geraldine Chaplin is talking to the supervisor and she goes through 4 different emotions in a minute. Alan Rudolph was homaging Rivette, building the story around his lead. Chaplin improvised the emotions in this scene & he captured it
Dear followers On this day, 41 years ago, I was born And I remain so to this day
The Simpsons animators didn’t have to put this much effort into turning Bart into a bat But they did. And that’s why this show was the best thing on television (from 1990-1997)
Please join me in wishing a very happy birthday to my good friend overseas @lolalaughs.bsky.social She is one the greatest mothers and storytellers around. And I celebrate her with this pirate cat.
It’s so interesting to me that with Alien and Blade Runner, Ridley Scott was way ahead of the sci-fi genre in film, taking imagery from the new Metal Hurlant, predicting Cyberpunk And then with the Fantasy genre, he’s pre-Tolkien, pre-Grimm, zero worldbuilding, trying to channel something primal
