Diane, stares for a moment in disbelief. The bug enters the living room with a joint and a lighter. Diane inquires "your actual name is Peter Bugdanovich?" She narrows her eyes "like the director?" Peter, lighting the joint is confused and asks "who? who are you talking about?"

one of my favorite movie stories is George Miller told Collider, “If you put a gun to my head and said, ‘You have to come up with a story for Happy Feet Three’, I'd say shoot me.” Anyway if this thing makes money he should have to do HF3 as a prestige television series

this person exists and they went viral on Reddit a few years back:
a Reddit relationship advice post where a woman is asking for help dealing with her boyfriend, an unreconstructed Jacobite monarchist. The key sentences are at the end, where she reveals that he refuses to vote because “he has no desire to assist the monarch with their choice of servants”

The AI backlash is completely the fault of the dishonest hype merchants whose only talent is innovating new ways of lying. You pissed people off, now everyone hates you (justified) and your tech (less justified, but again, your fault)
