boy is this a relevant observation

To create something, anything, good, takes time and desire. “A project that takes five years will accumulate those years’ inventions and richnesses. Much of those years’ reading will feed the work,” Annie Dillard wrote in The Writing Life. Good creative work draws on the well of your experience, on everything that you consumed and felt and saw over a period of time. If you dip into the well constantly without giving it time to refill, you end up with nothing but pieces of mud, nothing that will satiate a thirst for art.

Whenever Pitt’s acting comes up I remember an interview with Terry Gilliam about the trouble they had getting a decent performance out of him on Twelve Monkeys until they took his cigarettes away from him.

Don’t know what you’re talking about, Terry Gilliam fell down a sinkhole during the making of Tideland and was never heard of again.

Yeah, we’ve had rumblings for a while. Our library had been waiting on orders for months, then the past two weeks they’ve suddenly been getting delivered.

When that aired in the Netherlands in the late nineties I thought it was a hideous commercialisation of the Moomins, a series I was mostly familiar with from ice cream bars I had had on a family vacation to Finland in ‘93.

Well I suppose, if you twist my arm, I’d do some vis dev-stuff for that.

If we have to have new Moomin stories, and if they have to be made by an American, then yeah, fine.

Nothing embodies New Hampshire’s Live free or die like an old guy wearing a plaid shirt whipping past you on his motorbike 10 miles over the speedlimit with not a helmet in sight.

She’s been poisoning him so she can go on another eastern european rumspringa while an unlicensed doctor puts him in a coma and replaces all his lymphatic fluids with fish oil.

I’m the mortician in Richard Scarry’s Busytown. I’m a dog who wears a baseball hat that says “who let ME out”. I drive a dried up footlong meatball sub that’s also a hearse every day.

Oh yeah! It’s great. Had a rabbit potpie there that was so good it made me not even care about the awkwardness of going out to dinner with a couple that was about to separate

Again and again, this is the whole reason for AI's existence - the executives, the parasite class that believes that reading emails, liquid lunches, and sexual harassment count as work, hate the fact that money has to go to someone else that actually does all the labour

“.. a Hollywood studio chief was crowing about how great A.I. is because he wouldn’t have to pay ‘all these idiot producers and actors and lighting people and composers and writers and agents.’”
