'Andor' creator Tony Gilroy's Peabody Awards Acceptance Speech:

“We spent six years contemplating a fascist takeover of a galaxy far, far away. Six years thinking about what happens to ordinary beings when an authoritarian, insane, unchecked regime comes into the deal, and the show is really kind of what we learned"

“If you’re not willing to fight for the things that you love, your family, community, your culture, your planet, your truth, freedom, there’s an asshole ready to come in and take it away. We learned that bravery and sacrifice and resistance comes in all shapes and sizes, and we learned that courage is contagious"

“There’s so much is happening, it’s a fire hose of crap that you just can’t get through. And here we are. There isn’t a new cycle that goes by right now that doesn’t contain a variety of outrages that in any other time in our history in America wouldn’t be grounds for treason"

“Please do not stop. Please do not turn out the lights until we can kill this nightmare… and fuck the Empire!”

‘MAUL: SHADOW LORD’ is inspired by films such as ‘The Godfather’, ‘Heat’, and ‘The Dark Knight’.

“It’s a pulpy noir, there’s elements of a detective procedural, there’s elements of a gangster picture.”

NYT: “You’ve been talking on your show about whether Trump is the Antichrist”

Tucker Carlson: “I have not said that”

NYT: *plays clip of him saying that*

[JediDropBear @DarianHurrell]

@CescQuintero @tvaziri @JackKennedy It's also a pre released clip, a trailer shot is rarely ever the final version and often rushed out sometimes with little notice. It's not fair to judge VFX until it's the final product.

@HugoCGuerra -#2 Other studios so we're really looking for every penny we can get to try and stay afloat, ads are one of the few sure things we can count on and people just know to show up 15-20 minutes after the start time anyway to skip them 😅 so it's sorta a win win

[JediDropBear @DarianHurrell]

@HugoCGuerra I get peoples dislike of cinema ads but cinemas have had it rough the last 5 years it's been gut punch after gut punch. COVID + production delays, then the writers and actors strikes meant that we haven't have had a decent year since 2019. Not to mention the loss of Fox and -#1

Mar 11: “You never like to say too ⁠early you won. We won. In ​the first hour it was over.”
Mar 12: “We did win, but we haven’t won completely yet.”
Mar 13: “We won the war.”
Mar 14: “Please help us.”
Mar 15: “If you don’t help us, I will certainly remember it.”
Mar 16: “Actually, we don’t need any help at all.”
Mar 16: “I was just testing to see who’s listening to me.”

Mar 17: “I don’t need Congressional approval to withdraw from NATO.”
Mar 18: “Our allies must cooperate in reopening the Strait of Hormuz.”
Mar 19: “US allies need to get a grip - step up and help open the Strait of Hormuz.”
Mar 20: “NATO are cowards.”
Mar 21: “The Strait of Hormuz must be protected by the countries that use it. We don’t use it, we don’t need to open it.”
Mar 22: “This is the last time. I will give Iran 48 hours. Open the strait”
Mar 22: “Iran is Dead”
Mar 23: “We had very good and productive talks with Iran.”
Mar 24: “We’re making progress.”
Mar 25: “They gave us a present and the present arrived today. And it was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. I’m not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize.”

Mar 27: “We don’t have to be there for NATO.”

Apr 4: Said Iran must comply “immediately” or face further consequences
Apr 5: “Open the fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.”
April 7: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will."

I loved Project Hail Mary - but damn the 'this was all practical' talk is such BS.

I would probably say that 80% of the Rocky shots are HEAVILY CGI'd - and the rig removal on the space stunts require an entire digital replacement of the torso, hips, and legs.

There is a reason those big rigs can be built and NOT have to be hidden inside the suit - because its all eventually replaced.

Rocky is in a TRANSPARENT BALL... how do people think they remove the puppeteers from the shots?

The work is all incredible. Its such an amazing marriage of physical work and digital - coming together so seamlessly that people assume that one entire department - a department that likely makes up over 50% of the workforce - just doesn't exist.

THATS how good their work is.

Please stop minimizing the artists work.
