Miyazaki survived the bombing of Utsunomiya as a child. His family escaped in a car, but left a neighbor and her daughter behind to save themselves. Miyazaki regrets this, and said this has stayed with him and shaped his film making. He hopes his audience will learn the courage he lacked in 1945.

When I first came to the US one of the things I learned was established VAs would actively discourage or look down on newer actors asking for appearance fees at conventions, often judging them for how much they were asking for.

That never should have been a thing.

I also remember when we were so scared of first impressions going wrong that we were afraid of asking for any kind of compensation, let alone competitive pay.

"We're not worth ~professional~ pay!!"
"You're going pro?! That's career suicide! Go 'semi-pro'!" /cont'd

Remember: And this is how we have systemic exploitation of newer talents in our industry.

I have too many but I will go with an outlier and say The Incredible Melting Man

Partly because the host segments are the MST3K writers venting all their frustrations working with a studio on the MST3K movie

If being an ally requires me to buy your autograph, the signature is worth about as much as your support.

I can't help but be really disappointed to see some people say that "you fans are safe with me" which is a valid sentiment, but also continue to accept paychecks from a company that keeps recasting their colleagues, while the fanbase treats those people like shit.

It's nice to see my colleagues openly show their support for the lgbtq, but it's also disappointing how silent that support was when your lgbtq colleagues were being attacked a few months ago by the same community you are standing up for.

The Predator (2018) is one of those movies that even if you watch it sober you could swear you took something before watching it.

It really only takes a moment to look at his profile and understand who his colleagues might be.

Having lived with an actor who moaned about trans concerns and on one occasion called it "fucked up" that a lesbian would turn a man down because they "might have chemistry," only to publicly act like he supports the queer community?

If your safe space is only safe on the outside, it isn't safe.

A safe space should include all affected groups, not just the people you agree with.
