Well f*ck.
It’s awful to be rooting for either monopoly to get to be a super-mega-OP-Monopoly, but Paramount has gone to Satan, and must be stopped. Your move, NF.

Good luck! I’ll keep my ear out

One of the only times I’ve been moved by sports. This is funny and beautiful, I love it

It’s beyond upsetting.

And apparently I owe some conspiracy-nut friends a couple apologies, because some of the stuff in there is like… beyond understanding

The existential dread about the future of employment in this industry… not just mine, like, *anyone’s*… is overwhelming.

I’ve had several interviews from LinkedIn… but no jobs.

Reid Hoffman, the co-founder of LinkedIn is also mentioned in the Epstein files over 1000 times.

Jesus Christ, what a petty little prick.
Thank god for the impending public domain.
There’s still new comics that get made of Dick Tracy. I guess it’s only film & TV.

Wait, what’s wrong with Dick Tracy?? It existed for like 60 years prior to Beatty’s involvement

I must be younger than I thought; that’s still the case to me.

I agree we shouldn’t give in to Trump’s concessions either

Sure, but ceasing construction is probably ill-advised is what I mean.
Fair enough

What I mean is, maybe the US, against all odds, defeats the current fascist onslaught.

There’s all kinds of laws, regulations & so on that would make restarting construction on a bridge “left to rust” untenably expensive.

It’s cheaper by FAR to finish it, even if it’s closed & open it in future.

I mean, I don’t want to go to the states either, but expecting us, as a country, to burn all bridges metaphorically or literally is crazy.
But I sympathise with the anger.

This bridge began construction a loooooong time before the current political climate, in Obama’s time.
If things were normal, this bridge would serve a lot, and leaving it to rust isn’t just taking the L, it’s economically irresponsible.

So there’s a success story like you’re advocating for, but it’s beyond rare.
And it’s tantalizing and American streamers wouldn’t back it unless they toned it down, so Canada’s victory on this one was having the gumption to not censor.

Seth Rogen hosted a pottery competition show on CBC a year ago.
Merely doing the show clearly isn’t the only barrier. Marketing etc is also a factor.
This problem is a hydra.

Also, sure, re: Schitt’s Creek, but right now Heated Rivalry is the most popular thing going and no one is famous in it.

We need to make more opportunities for ourselves up here and Schitt’s Creek & Heated Rivalry prove Canadian success can cross the border, but they’re the exceptions, not the rule.

I mean, in fairness, he’s been with his American wife for 16 years, and most of his career happened because he went to the US.
You wouldn’t be name dropping him had he stayed here.
And he went for SNL, which wouldn’t exist had Lorne Michaels not gone down south.

But don’t get me wrong, I think we should also do your suggestion, and frankly, I have no desire to go to the US anytime soon, but just being pedantic and argumentative I guess.

I mean, that can be it, but the big leagues aren’t here & just literally can’t be for a long time if ever. Say you work in entertainment or acting. Sure, Heated Rivalry is big, but in general, you’re not gonna headline a big project staying put here.

Or if you want to work for DreamWorks or Pixar

I think that’s too all-or-nothing to be reasonable. Some jobs require people to live in the US. But it doesn’t mean you’ll be there your whole life, and you may wish to return.
It’s not fair to tell someone who just wants a good job opportunity that they need to RENOUNCE CITIZENSHIP to get it.

Btw, nice touch with the line about Wick being “more Carmilla than Dracula.”

It’s never too early to get kids curious about fiction like Le Fanu, ha ha

💯✊

👏👏

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

Gimme 90s Canadian-made Outer Limits any day!

Ooooof, telling people to love LEXX without irony is a BIG ask.

Even as a teenage boy desperate for semi-erotic science fiction, it was a slog to sit through.

My son just brought this home from the library today, and I was like “this art is amazing!” and in my head I was thinking “this art looks so familiar…” because I’ve only discovered your work on your other account, ha ha.

Anyway, can’t wait to read!
