What once was the peak, is now just the beginning.
Paramount and Warner Bros. shaped over a century of culture. By combining them, we aren't rewriting history — we're equipping these iconic studios with a more powerful engine. Together, we are Skydance: a creative-first ho Show

Took a (very) rainy walk through the Loop tonight. I was absolutely soaked, but my camera stayed dry enough.

The pavement in Chicago is wet from a day-long rain. Street and traffic lights reflect on the stored in vivid colors. In the foreground, a person with an umbrella is an out-of-focus silhouette

Calder's Flaming - an orange, abstract metal sculpture in Chicago stands in a wet, reflective plaza. The sculpture is reflected in the rain coating the plaza's stone pavers in the evening with buildings in the background

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

A casual Star Wars alien fella at the cantina, in a sun faded, reddish photo. Someone will be mad at me for not knowing who this is.

Phil, a balding Caucasian man, poses a model of the garthok, an antagonist from the Coneheads movie.

Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.

being in animation, its not from AI. the streaming bubble bursting cuz everyone hopped on the grain cuz it undermined unions, less regulations and more mergers are what lead to the loss. AI is just what people think but it started way before that

Holy shit! Wasn't expecting to see Brian's name come up while reading this. I had a few night classes w/ him at TAG some years back, and I wrote about his part of an old Iron Giant panel a couple years ago (bauwerks.net/2024/03/iron...). animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-films-...

Back in the ‘90s, the American film The Iron Giant proved how effective a blend of 3D models and 2D drawings could be. Now, one of the Iron Giant’s own, original model files seems to have appeared online.

A copy of CHANGES (1992), a 3-minute film Genndy Tartakovsky made while he was a student at CalArts, has leaked and is now available on the Internet Archive. The film was later retooled into the pilot for Cartoon Network's DEXTER'S LABORATORY, which aired on What a Cartoon! on February 26, 1995.

I have always said the best people-watching spot in Chicago is Miller’s Pub on S. Wabash. First time I’ve seen a dude in a gorilla suit. Whatever he’s up to, I am smiling.

Next up for Sailor Moon is, you guessed it, the 1st OP for SuperS! As always, it was scanned from a 16mm rush print in 4K by us, with a little restoration on the side to fix damaged frames. Interesting thing to note: it contains an early, unfinalized logo! www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGoL...

Nintendo is wild — they present themselves as being this family-friendly corporation, they make some companies censor games to fit that image (setting aside exceptions like Golgo 13 back in the Famicom era), and then they hire Rockin' Jelly Bean to illustrate packaging for their consoles. 😂

The last couple movies I watched inadvertently became a Richard E. Grant marathon. I watch Dracula so infrequently I always forget he was in it!

Beginning of Withnail and I with the title card superimposed over Marwood (I) sitting down, having a panic attack.

Title card for Bram Stoker's Dracula, with the font hammered into some kind of steel plate, lit by fire's orange-red light.

Richard E. Grant in Withnail and I, staring at an offscreen Irishman approaching him, look of horror on Withnail's face.

Richard E. Grant as John Seward in Bram Stoker's Dracula, euphorically laughing after injecting morphine into his arm, backlit by lightning.

You read that right: Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar will, thanks to the approval of Trump's FCC, own 49.5% of Paramount Warner Brothers, and CBS, and CNN. One of many things to keep in mind when you cast your vote in the next six weeks.

It gets worse: Dem FCC member: “The FCC just let some of the most repressive governments in the world indirectly control nearly all of a combined Paramount-Warner Bros.” An investment of this size “doesn’t just buy equity, it secures influence over what gets said & made.” apnews.com/article/para...

Did Bonta get ANYTHING from Ellison? Because the 30-films-a-year deal that is being reported has been promised for months, and the "editorial board" overseeing CBS and CNN means nothing without teeth. To me it sounds like Ellison threatened to move Paramount out of CA, and Bonta and Newsom folded.

#TaiwanWordoftheDay is 「咚」— the sound of slapping a wall fiercely, "don," usually used in the context of "kabe-don (壁咚)," when a male character forces his attention on a female character by cornering her. The manga meme has been used in a creative but controversial energy-saving campaign in Taiwan.

Seven years in jail for organizing a vigil and using a slogan. A vigil and a slogan which were legal in Hong Kong for thirty years. Really, Lee and Chow are being punished now for those thirty years of freedom and Beijing's frustration with the yearly vigil.
