Whenever Bugs, Daffy, Porky, Elmer, et al. have felt like living artistic entities lately, and not IP being shifted around a balance sheet, it has been because of Eric Bauza and people like him. Very sad about this loss.

Unbelievable loss. An amazing talent, and just a really, really good person. www.instagram.com/p/De8RFy4pyov/

Fellow Washington State Voters: A good guide to the three worst initiatives on our ballot this November. If you haven’t dropped off your ballots yet, be informed to vote “No” on all three of these statewide anti-queer, pro-billionaire initiatives!

Goddamn, take the slop away from these grampas! Another formerly respected artist in his field, Art Spiegelman, decides to flush it all away at 78. The creator of Maus decided he needed genAI to make a sticker, yeesh

Excellent interview with Sunil Malhotra about how he took over the role of Apu, and what he felt about addressing the character’s past (and future)

for whatever reason, the Japanese dub of the Simpsons Halloween segment "Clown Without Pity" added extra sound effects to this part

they usually change the ref in Japanese Simpsons. Some examples in JP Treehouse of Horror: "Look at me, I'm Davy Crockett!" → "I'm Mozart!" "James Coco went mad in 15 minutes." → "Elvis went mad in 15 minutes." "...and five John Denver Christmas specials." → "...and Julio Iglesias dinner shows."

We’ve discovered the answer to this, but you’ll have to wait a few weeks for our discussion on an upcoming @talksimpsonspod.bsky.social!

After subjecting myself to Street Fighter, I needed a cleanse with a couple un-American classics and then a much better new movie. Also, a rare #LetterboxdFriday where my #LastFourWatched were all in movie theaters!

As a video game enthusiast who also loves classic men’s formalwear, I can’t begin to tell you how happy it makes me to see Miyamoto rocking the exact same necktie for the past 30+ years.

What else is there to say about this man's career besides

I strongly believe in showing up for movies at the advertised start time, even though that's really when the 30 minutes of commercials begin. That belief is being tested by the number of times that I've already seen the Ebenezer trailer this month

it took nearly three hours, but we covered the biggest media crossover event of the '90s (to us) 👇👇👇

great news for people who love it when a cop explodes

It's a great future where no gaming executive wants to employ any human developers, where the few remaining major publishers just want to charge for slop from an AI prompt, and where that very same AI bubble makes every new console cost $2000. This is a business with a bright horizon ahead
