FCC boss Brendan Carr's old tweets resurface after he threatened ABC, which later pulled #JimmyKimmelLive
"Political satire is one of the oldest and most important forms of free speech"
"It challenges those in power while using humor to draw more people in to the discussion"
"That’s why people in influential positions have always targeted it for censorship"
"Should the government censor speech it doesn’t like? Of course not"
"The FCC does not have a roving mandate to police speech in the name of the 'public interest'"
Should the government censor speech it doesn’t like? Of course not.

Takashi Yamazaki on making the VFX working conditions as comfortable as possible for ‘GODZILLA MINUS ONE’.
“We made it more comfortable & cozy; we spent some budget building out a kitchen. We have a designated sushi chef in the kitchen. We really try to avoid long hours, but if you do, it's a very welcoming environment in which to spend a few extra hours.
Sure, it might be challenging at times when we're in a crunch or postproduction and need to get our work done. We try not to do late nights. We have all of our weekends off… Hopefully, in due time, VFX budget increases will allow for more improvements. I am looking forward to the day when we can pay creatives more.”
