One thing I took from watching that show is that the right phasing & inflection turns a paragraph into a single line, and the right word can replace a sentence. And if you do it well it also reveals something personal about the speaker of the words.

Their tv writing is so good. Focused, effective word choice, gets across the point, an opinion, and a point-of-view all in 3 or 4 succinct lines and maybe a minute-and-a-half of screentime. Just excellent stuff.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the autonomous vehicle developers who most vocally argued that society must accept a certain number of deaths to enjoy the technology's safety benefits (Tesla & Uber ATG) were the only ones who killed people and never actually delivered on their promises

Even stuff like License to Drive or Weird Science, which I’m not as well versed in, I recall a earnest romantic lead and their whinier funnier buddy. Transformers structurally is those 80s kids movies, but I never got the sense that the actors were quite versed in those 80s performance styles.

drewsandoval.bsky.social @drewsandoval.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

I suppose I think LaBrouf’s whiny, motor-mouthy, always-behind-the-eight-ball, performance as more spiritually aligned with the drunkeness of Jack Sparrow than the heroic earnestness of Astin in Goonies or Pheonix in Indy 3.

I suppose applying your argument to other franchises allows for ideas like“Skyfall” is when James Bond became a culturally important influence because it was the first time a Bond movie grossed $1B.

I suppose if I squint I can see your point, but I can’t separate Avengers success from the cultural love of RDJ’s performance in Iron Man, and just the bizarre idea of these seperate characters crossing paths in a way only hinted at in previous superhero iterations.

I think the “lets put a weird guy at the center of our blockbuster” kinda is the move that paved the way for Shai LaBouef in Transformers.

Nor the Pirates 2&3 back-to-back shoots without LOTR being the initial success.

drewsandoval.bsky.social @drewsandoval.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

I think Fellowship & LOTR trilogy massively changed the industry, 3 blockbusters shot back-to-back, a full scale 3-year release plan, and a massive success. It was what led Paramount to take the risk on the interconnectedness of MCU. Also, wouldn’t have gotten Matrix 2&3 back-to-back shoots…

drewsandoval.bsky.social @drewsandoval.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

I’d add Iron Man to that list, but it is sort of wild we describe the aughts as ‘08 and ‘09. No one brings up Fellowship ‘01 or Pirates ‘03.

I don’t think its quite the Star Wars of its generation, i mean Iron Man 1 came out only 11 months later, and seems much more deserving of that mantle.

Hey bsky! If you didn’t know already, we’re making a romcom! A heated, queer romcom set at a wedding! If you like romance, comedy, heists, hating billionaires or ridiculous farces, you should check out #WorstManOGN! Written/drawn by us, logo and lettering by the incredible @gofrankgo.bsky.social!

The cover to Worst Man. A handsome, skinny white guy with red hair, wearing a red suit, black shirt and orange tie is front and centre, toasting the camera. He's clearly been caught by a burly guy with olive skin and black curly hair, who's wearing a purple suit jacket, white shirt and purple tie. The burly guy is sat in a gigantic wedding cake, with the implication being he fell backwards into it catching the skinny guy. As a result the cake is collapsing around them, but the skinny guy's foot is holding up the cake topper, which is cartoony representations of a bride and groom.

A comic page of 8 panels.

PANEL 1: a photograph of a group of people disembarking a fancy boat onto a jetty.

GUY (CAPTION): I was contracted to work this wedding, which let me tell you is stressful at short notice.

INTERROGATOR (CAPTION): Contracted?

INTERROGATOR (CAPTION): Who the hell contracted you?

INTERROGATOR (CAPTION): What is it you even do?!

PANEL 2:

A cut-out panel of the guy one arm draped over the back of his chair, the other hand gesturing. He’s grinning charmingly.

GUY: I’m the Worst Man.

INTERROGATOR (OFF PANEL): …the what?

INTERROGATOR (OFF PANEL): And how did you get free?

PANEL 3:

The guy is flashing a grin and showing his hands in a shrug.

GUY: Oh, come on, I talk with my hands.

PANEL 4:

The guy is holding his hand in a “so-so” gesture.

GUY: Ok, so.

GUY: Sometimes there’s a couple that are settling, right?

PANEL 5:

The guy is pulling a “yikes” expression.

GUY: They’ve convinced they’re happy, they’re forever happy.

PANEL 6:

The guy is looking serious.

GUY: A friend or family member knows they aren’t, but doesn’t want the social fallout of pointing it out.

PANEL 7:

The guy is lazily gesturing to himself.

GUY: So they hire me to reveal the truth in a more subtle way, before they get married.

PANEL 8:

The guy is looking up.

INTERROGATOR (OFF PANEL): So why are you involved here?

GUY: In this case, the story goes back a while.

A comic page with 4 panels.

PANEL 1:

A sprawled dossier showing research on a couple; a cis woman and a trans woman.

GUY (CAPTION): Several years ago I was contracted to work on Galatea Telford and Merritt McElligott—

INTERROGATOR (CAPTION): That’s the bride’s sister, not the bride.

GUY (CAPTION): Uh, yeah. What’s your point?

INTERROGATOR (CAPTION): So she’s not who I’m asking about.

GUY (CAPTION): Patience. This is background.

PANEL 2:

A shot of the guy talking to Merritt and Galatea around a school teacher’s desk, planning some sort of schedule.

GUY (CAPTION): So I got a temp job at the school where Merritt and Galatea work.

PANEL 3:

A shot of the three of them in a bar, with some other people. All of them are laughing except the guy, who’s a little more detached.

GUY (CAPTION): Even met some of their friends.

PANEL 4:

A shot of Merritt and Galatea back at the teacher’s desk, flirting. The guy is looking in through the door, a small, sad smile.

GUY (CAPTION): But what I was coming to learn was—

INTERROGATOR (CAPTION): Enough. I’m dying of old age here.

Every question she asks is a banger, every question still unanswered including by Brad Bird when still asked about John in promoting Ray Gunn now:

If a man has been touching women inappropriately for decades, why would a woman want to work for him if the only reason he’s not touching them inappropriately now is that it says in his contract that he must behave “professionally”?

If a man has made women at his companies feel undervalued and disrespected for decades, why should the women at his new company think that any respect he shows them is anything other than an act that he’s required to perform by his coach, his therapist and his employment agreement? The message seems to be, “I am learning to feel respect for women so please be patient while I work on it. It’s not easy.”

Much has been said about giving John Lasseter a “second chance.” But he is presumably being paid millions of dollars to receive that second chance. How much money are the employees at Skydance being paid to GIVE him that second chance?
If John Lasseter started his own company, then every employee would have been given the opportunity to choose whether or not to give him a second chance. But any Skydance employees who don't want to give him a second chance have to stay and be uncomfortable or lose their jobs. Shouldn’t it be John Lasseter who has to lose HIS job if the employees don’t want to give him a second chance?

Skydance has revealed that no women received settlements from Pixar or Disney as a result of being harassed by John Lasseter. But given all the abuse that’s been heaped on women who have come forward to make accusations against powerful men, do we really think that no settlements means that there was no harassment or no hostile work environment? Are we supposed to feel comforted that women who feel that their careers were derailed by working for Lasseter DIDN’T receive money?

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.
