The only thing I have to say about all of this Matthew Lillard discourse is David Lynch cast him in TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN. Good enough for Lynch, good enough for me. Good enough for us.

This is not to take anything away from Sara Pichelli, but just a reminder that no matter how cool the characters are or how many great stories we get from them, Marvel and DC inherently don't give a fuck about their creators and treating them properly.

Marvel didn't do shit for Peter David while he was dying, but was more than happy to run R.I.P. memorials for him.

He would probably still be alive today if he was properly compensated for his legendary work.
Miles Morales co-creator Sara Pichelli says she does not get any royalties from the ‘Spider-Verse’ films, Insomniac games, or merch

So there’s this thing called Pikuah Nefesh

It means you can (must!) break Shabbos (the Jewish sabbath relevant to the Jesus story) to save a life

Many Orthodox surgeons bring their phones to shul for this reason

It’s not about breaking Shabbos for some vague “greater good”, let alone… this
She compares the boat strikes to Jesus breaking the sabbath to heal someone.

The one thing I'll say that's good out of all this nonsense is how the film community has really grown out of enjoying this kind of inter-personality sniping to become a body of positively, that just loves movies and the people who make them. The pushback against negativity is so refreshing in 2025.

It’s very weird that the Netflix guy doesn’t understand that you can get additional money from your subscribers by also releasing movies to theaters. It seems like a tremendous business plan! Hell, sell people a physical disc even before it streams! Triple revenue!!

Matthew Lillard is a national god damned treasure, not only as an enjoyable as fuck actor, but as a D&D ambassador and co-owner with his friends of Beadle & Grimm's (makers of the best D&D accessories on the market.) The only person who looks worse for Quentin shitting on him is fucking Quentin.

Re:

‘You should make art for the love of it, not for the money.’

Is a good idea in theory but not good advice in practice. Especially when aimed at working class artists. An artist has the same 24 hrs in a day that any worker has & it isn’t flawed to want compensation for your time.

Hey need help for a video. Do you know any short scenes from movies where characters say something along the lines of "my child is going to be better then me." Think like Yoda in The Last Jedi saying "we are what they grow beyond".

Shin Godzilla is now on HBO Max. Pretty good stuff: big, stomping monster movie that's also a mix of political satire and political theory, as well as an homage to the old Godzilla films. This review by Simon Abrams does it justice:

Ive got some doctors appointments next week I need to cover the transportation and copays for so I'd greatly appreciate any help. I understand it's a rough time for everyone though.
Finally got an update out. Admittedly things aren't really good and Im overtly stressed but what can you do. I appreciate everyone's help so far.

always!!! I love helping people figure out art stuff
Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone.

I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.

Danny DeVito's balls were attacked by a monkey during the filming of Batman Returns.

He survived unscathed only by the grace of the padding on his fat suit.

I am pretty anti-fatsuits as a rule, but I'll make an exception for the one that saved Danny DeVito's balls.

she said ‘never involve me or my music again’

so not only did they violate her express consent, they made it personal by making *her* seem in favor of their disgusting agenda

Sabrina Carpenter ratioed the White House after it used her song in an ICE video.

The WH deleted the post…but now it’s back with a new ICE video, this time using an altered clip from Carpenter’s SNL monologue.
