Somebody should play along and get Trump to start pulling back hard, then suddenly relax and watch him fall on his pasty ass. That would be some funny shit.

This attitude would pervade meetings with both Carpenter and Dante. Despite being an unabashed fan, Carpenter would note difficulties he experienced working alongside the imbittered screenwriter. β€œNigel Kneale was a brilliant writer, but by the time I met him, he was pretty irascible and mean,” Carpenter told Vulture.com. β€œHe was a mean character. He started making fun of Jack Arnold, the director of the original Creature from the Black Lagoon. At that point, Jack Arnold had lost a leg and Nigel made fun of him for that. Terrible. Nigel thought he was above us horror filmmakers.”

Carpenter didn't exactly mince words about what a miserable old git Kneale had become by that point, as I found out in the Halloween III section of Taking Shape

Turned 36 last October and still feel I have the emotional maturity of someone in their mid-20s.

Pixar CCO Pete Docter asked Hayao Miyazaki,
"When do you make changes for you and when do you make changes for the audience?" during the INSIDE OUT 2 press tour.
Miyazaki replied, "I never think about the audience."

Anyway we should support JuliΓ‘n (Cartoon Saloon) when it comes out!

Based on the beautiful kids book "JuliΓ‘n is a Mermaid" and shaping up to be very openly queer in presentation and has a queer writer on the team (Juliany Taveras)

Let's support those who aren't afraid of helping tell our stories.

This "difficult conversation" took my dad 1 fuckin minute to make 8 year old me understand that gay people exist and are normal

I think these people are actually just whiny babies that are easily offended, so they pretend these things are way bigger a deal than it is

I hate that entire groups are being prevented from existing in mainstream art because of roughly 200 shrill lunatics who can't be normal about anything.

God forbid we make a movie that'll force parents to have maybe a 30 second conversation with their child about how men/women can love other men/women.

Just maybe don't adapt the chapter with the deceased African-American boxer, though. Probably the most unvarnished example of Lovecraft's racism.

So many queer kids *really* need to see themselves represented in mass media right now, to be reassured that what they're experiencing is perfectly natural. Stuff like this could save lives, but the studios don't wanna upset the apple cart. Fuck 'em.

Capitulating to conservative America and being a damn coward about it. Is it any wonder more and more people are turning to the indie and international animation scene for some much-needed diversity?

Re9 comic
Grace and Leon on opposites site of a gate
Leon: Don't worry, you'll be fine
Leon: You know how to suplex a guy, right?
Grace: umm... no...
Leon: oh... but you can parry a chainsaw, yeah?
Grace: what?! no!!!
Leon, walking away concerned: "oh... well, good luck anyway"
Grace looks very sad and pathetic

I remember learning about the Hays Code in film school and how it made it so that any amoral protagonist had to meet karmic justice by the end of the film and going β€œwow, that’s really silly” and then once a week I log online and see people argue that we need stuff like that now or it’s problematic
