Just uploaded what will likely be the final version of Astoria, my text game about life in space. It’s a fairly linear, 9,000-word story inspired by Forbidden Planet, The Bear, and starfaring games like Mass Effect and The Outer Worlds. Art by

Massachusetts taxed the rich. Now they have an extra $1.8 billion to spend.
In November 2022 voters approved a 4% tax on incomes over $1 million.
The state can now use that money on free public school meals, free community college, and public transit.

If it's just three brief images of television screens, just edit that shit out, pay an animator, and fix it. People will forgive and support the movie if you remove the stolen labor. But shrugging it off is heading in a dark direction. Dastmalchian doesn't deserve this.
"Late Night With the Devil" directors explain the AI-generated art in the film amid complaints from some horror fans.
"We experimented with AI for three still images which we edited further and ultimately appear as very brief interstitials in the film."

Always shocked when people are like "I don't get it" about Glen Powell because when I saw Top Gun: Maverick that guy was like an atom bomb of charisma. He showed up to work that day going, "Today I'm gonna be a fuckin movie star," and he was. (Haven't seen the romcom yet)

I genuinely CANNOT believe that there are people complaining about this CGI. I can’t wrap my head around it. This was literally Luke Skywalker… You find it ‘horrifying’ or don’t want Star Wars or film/tv to go this route, you do you, but I am eating. it. up. My hero is back.

“On a technical level, director Bryce Dallas Howard dazzles from beginning to end. It’s as if she was told this was her chance to show just what she could do with a feature-sized budget, and, frankly, she knocked it out of the park.”

On one hand, Abrams was announced as director ca. 2013, Rian in 2014, Trevorrow in 2015, so they're all doing their respective takes and evolving them in real time with significant overlap. But it's also fair to say that Kylo went from "stony Disney villain" to human being in TLJ
the most interesting part of adam’s talk about sw. not said explicitly, but you can tell he was hella confused about that 3rd film

In college, I kept a blog with "aspiring speculative fiction writer" at the top, and one day Matthew Stover left a comment. "If you're writing things and actually sending them out, you're a writer. No aspiring necessary." Don't wait for validation or permission; it'll never come.

Good interview, but already seeing "fans" use her words to deny that he was ever bullied, or that it contributed to his disappearance from public life — he's the source for that original narrative. If he says classmates bullied him like crazy, sorry, you're not gonna erase that.
Jake Lloyd’s mother wants to dispel the narrative that ‘THE PHANTOM MENACE’ backlash contributed to his mental illness.
She says that schizophrenia was genetic in their family & that she protected him from the backlash & didn’t let him online.

I do think Netflix ought to look at the success of Euphoria, Succession, etc., and consider that the weekly release model that served Breaking Bad et al. so well in the past -- it probably beats dropping an entire series and crossing your fingers that it turns into Squid Game.

Based on everything I've ever read, this is a normal, routine thing that happens with most every big studio film. A writer does one or more drafts, gets "fired," another writer takes a stab at it, etc., till execs are happy or time runs out. Think he's just stating a mundane fact
