We are deeply saddened by the passing of Hayden Panettiere.
Through her performance as Kairi, Hayden brought warmth, heart, and an unforgettable voice to the Kingdom Hearts series.
Our thoughts are with her family, friends, and loved ones.
"Sora and Kairi's voices blend together... today, we'll leave it to Sora."
This is so fucking sad now bro, they got together the day before to read Kairi's letter without her and now she's gone.
Got to meet Hayden in 2024. She was so excited to talk about Kairi. You could tell how much this character meant to her. I also expressed so much gratitude and appreciation for all her time/hard work that she put into the series. She'll live on forever within all of our memories
The day before Hayden Panettiere passed away
Sora & Riku VA's Haley Joel Osment & David Gallagher performed the final scene of 'KINGDOM HEART 2' in the same room for the first time ever, reading Kairi's letter:
"Thinking of you, wherever you are.
We pray for our sorrows to end, and hope that our hearts will blend.
Now I will step forward to realize this wish.
And who knows:
starting a new journey may not be so hard,
or maybe it's already begun.
There are many worlds, but they share the same sky —
one sky, one destiny."

I was a 911 dispatcher for 11 years and this is the worst idea you could possibly think of. You have scenarios where the person can’t speak well either language barriers, injuries or if they’re in a domestic situation and they pretend to call for pizza or something you need a person. You have to be able to determine how someone feels or pick up on what they aren’t saying or how they’re saying things. Same goes for open lines and hang ups. A real person needs to answer the phone not only to ensure the correct response is sent to the right place but to offer piece of mind to the caller and makes them feel safer. Situations where I had to give CPR instructions to a mother and father who’s baby wasn’t breathing was a constant occurrence and you have to be able to calm people down, an AI is not doing that ever. Same goes for dispatching calls, AI cannot do that, in theory it sounds ok for that portion but you have to acknowledge what resources are on hand, where people are, GPS isn’t always accurate so when we started using systems to automatically reroute units who were flagged as “closer” they usually weren’t. But a real person who lives in that county and knows the area, where the stations are, who’s in a move up or coverage or areas that are blocked off due to events that aren’t always in our mapping systems. The list goes on.
Terrible idea
Tom Holland says Jon Bernthal stayed completely mute for two weeks while filming, then broke character when a waitress put his lemon in his water instead of on his salmon
“John was playing a mute. He was like, ‘I’m not going to talk. I’m going full method. I’m going to need your help’”
“For two weeks, not a peep out of him. We’re sitting at restaurants and he’s writing down his food. I’m having to say, ‘I’m sorry about my friend. He’s just a pretentious actor’”
“She brought the lemon and dropped it in his water. Immediately he was like, ‘ALRIGHT, FUCK IT. I’M TALKING AGAIN’”
stumbled on this image randomly on reddit, people have been using microSD to SD card adapters to make little sleeves for steamdeck games (that can also be read from PC with an sd card reader), this is really cute and shows the length people go to keep a physical collection
This is why the early days of CGI produced some of the best effects in movies cause CG was used IN TANDEM with practical effects and not as a replacement for them
CG now has been so overexposed practical effects look mind blowing when done well
