FWIW, I'm (VERY) unemployed at the moment, so cover work, character design, or comic book pages gigs (with gentle deadlines) are more than welcome.

Imagine still making Harry Potter content in 2025. Losers behaviour.

So, we are at the part of the play where anyone in power can point to whoever they want and shout WITCH! and that's enough.

The Lady of Shalott was cursed to a predestined fate, secluded in a tower, and dies from love. Ophelia... does not.

I feel like only with a team of characters no one cares about (not even their publishers) you can get really experimental and risky

Watched Oblivion (2013), some sites saying it was a great scifi film.
Tom Cruise of course playing a HERO that is always right and do the right thing, even sacrificing his life for the common good yet still having a happy end and "getting the girl" somehow.
Some pretty visuals, but empty of plot.

Author and filmmaker Justine Bateman on generative AI

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat.
People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

Has anyone seen Musk and Graber at the same time? Because I have a theory...

The desperate need billionaires have, to be seen as "funny" and "relatable" while failing spectacularly at both will be the end of us all.

Words can’t even describe how it feels to have a story that felt like a burning fire within me, finally out into the world. I was so scared to write it, but that’s how I knew it was something I had to do—fear and all.
