Eric Bauza gave Daffy Duck his voice, complete with all of Daffy’s bluster and his very big heart. He understood him: the ego, the outrage, and the enormous feelings in one small duck.

I FUCKING TOLD PEOPLE! I HAVE BEEN TELLING PEOPLE PREQUEL REVISIONISM HAS BEEN A TOOL FOR ANTI-WOKE BULLSHIT! BAYFORMERS IS THE SAME SHIT!
But nobody wanted to listen to me cause GOD FORBID the girl who actually grew up with the Prequels notice that something doesn’t feel right.

I don't know who this person is but in the last week, it's clear he has a deranged fixation on me. He is clearly mentally ill. I'm going to block him now and I strongly suggest you do the same.
Guys like @DrewMcWeeny and @EricVespe actually believe the character David Cohen plays
Because they’re goys,
They can only see the mask that kicks them as they kneel…
You think he’s different from Sasha Baron Cohen?
They have the same last name and do the same thing,
They do the Selma Blair thing and Goys gotta take it

Finding out about this on for the first time is... disheartening. I had been pushing to do a Blu-Ray of SPACED for years, so to find out that someone just went ahead without our involvement is.... a bummer. Not authorized by anyone involved in making the show. Finding out what happened as we speak...
So SPACED is finally coming to blu-ray and it's from an "algorithmic" remaster in 4K... C'mon, seriously? @edgarwright did you have any involvement in this? Because an AI upscale is most disappointing...

La Redazione di Lercio precisa di non avere nulla a che fare (peccato, perché è un capolavoro) con la notizia relativa alla mamma della famiglia del bosco che sarà pagata come docente all'Istituto Nazionale di Pedagogia Familiare.

Watched “Clayface.” I wasn’t familiar with the character from DC, but I enjoyed the film. I’ve always loved the science fiction films of the 1950s and ’60s, particularly those about lonely men who gradually transform into something monstrous through scientific experiments, accidents, clinical trials, and the like. Richard Matheson’s novel “The Shrinking Man” (1956), and films such as “The Fly” (1958) and “4D Man” (1959). The facial disfigurement also reminded me of “Eyes Without a Face” (1959), “The Face of Another” (1966), and “The Skin I Live In” (2011). As a body horror film, “Clayface” will undoubtedly be compared to “The Fly” (1986) and “The Substance” (2024). But this is the story of a method actor who can become anyone through his performances, only to suffer a disfiguring facial injury and eventually gain the extraordinary ability to physically transform into anyone. Whether you see it as the story of a man who takes his revenge and descends into villainy, or as a tragedy, changes the very face of the film. While I was there, I also picked up a reprint of the original theatrical pamphlet for “The Man Who Stole the Sun.”
If you make a full length Snyderverse movie using AI, you’ll be sued into oblivion for copyright infringement, and for using the actors’ likeness without consent.
AI restoring the Snyderverse isn't a joke, it's a warning shot. In a few years this tech will be near flawless, and if fans can build what the studio refuses to, the studio won't get to pretend it doesn't matter anymore. They lose the money, they lose the audience, and eventually they're the ones begging to monetize what fans already made. When AI quality meets or beats what they're feeding us — and with the current DCU, that crossover is coming fast — the whole model collapses. This isn't even about replacing artists when it gets to that point. It's about what happens when the gatekeepers stop being the only door.
He’s more versatile than people give him credit for (see his pre-2017 work), but apparently he bought into his own RAGNAROK hype and got stuck.

Here’s a story for you. We started filming without owning the title and had to do alternates.
Taft Broadcasting owned the title Ghostbusters as part of their half-hour sitcom starring Larry Storch and Forrest Tucker (F-Troop) and a gorilla chasing ghosts. I had never heard of it. They didn’t have proton packs or Bill Murray. Columbia paid $500,000 to buy the name, but they really should have paid Dean Martin, from whom I first heard the term.
In the film Scared Stiff (1953), he and Jerry Lewis (check out his acrobatic stair descent) are in an old haunted castle, and Lizabeth Scott asks Dean: “Who are you guys?” And Dean answers: “You’ve heard of Trustbusters and Gangbusters, we’re Ghostbusters!”
For my research writing the first movie, I watched every single ‘ghost’ comedy ever made. Bowery Boys, Hope and Crosby, Abbot and Costello, Martin and Lewis all did such films.
Happy Halloween 2026.

This is so sad. @SiddhantAdlakha is one of the most respectable critics out there & just because it's a non-positive review (he didn't even hate the film), he gets this sort of censorship campaign against him.
I hope the criticism community supports him as we should.
Go to the below site and flag the review citing it as misleading and agenda driven. Let's stand against forced hate for an effort which represents our culture.

Watch some Patrick Stewart this weekend! He was the best. vulture.com/article/best-pat…
“starring his wife and best friends”
With the exception of Stallone, none of them appear more than ten minutes each, usually less.
His two most frequent collaborators are gone before the opening credits.
Henry Cavill lost Superman, Ben Affleck lost Batman, and the entire Snyderverse got thrown in the trash so DC could have a "clean reboot."
Yet James Gunn launching a whole podcast to explain why the movie HE directed starring his wife and best friends is the only thing that survived is insane level executive privilege
The crazy part isn't even the podcast; it's that fans are genuinely arguing over whether requiring audio podcasts to understand cinematic canon is high-level transparency or just glorified studio homework.
