How does he have that much natural hair and still look bald?

Which crucial consumer business?

… oh.

I have officially lost the plot on what’s happening here.

I still get flashbacks to a dentist with Magical Quest on Super Nintendo.

Yeah, maybe with some kind of filter so a few people can sound like a whole cast of distinct characters, without necessarily mimicking any particular human being.

… wait.

Does that seem likely? Pointing a camera at actors is not inherently difficult or expensive. Even when AI is involved, it’s best at turning whatever you have into whatever you describe - so you film real people in real costumes, and let CGI-for-dummies make up elaborate sets. Or you hire three great actors to play a dozen characters.

Even for CGI films, ‘have’ into ‘describe’ just means you can half-ass the animation and rendering. Productions can focus on writing, character design, and cinematography, then feed in some footage of actors in VR Chat, to get out a scene approaching Pixar quality. Is Pixar itself going to use that process? Probably not. But it’s a million miles from typing ‘funny scene high quality’ and crossing your fingers.

Well good news, it’ll probably run locally by next year.

I’d love to be able to watch any show from any language on like a one-minute delay, with the robot faking the original voices. But I’d also like a fully in-character version of Revenge Of The Sith with the infamously bad Chinese subtitles.

Man, remember when CGI replaced animation, after animation replaced actors? It’s a real shame we don’t have actors anymore, since the moment they weren’t strictly necessary. It would’ve been so much cooler if technology simply allowed new things to exist when they’d otherwise be implausible or unfundable.

It really is the shallowest teenage scribble of a franchise. You can picture him sitting in his dorm room, listening to Tarkus and Olias of Sunhillow until the grooves wore out, doodling weird furry giantess smut, imagining all the claymation he was gonna do to make the bestest sci-fi film since Dark Star.

Huh, I thought Bart the bear was nominated and lost.

Time to rewatch The Art Of Bear Acting.

Still not an opinion, just insults. Not beating the allegation.

‘How indeed?’ is not an opinion. It’s effortless effort-bait.

Troll harder.

No. Every other stupid precedent by the supreme court was overturned by the supreme court. It’s literally the only court that’s in the constitution. What would getting rid of it even mean?

That’s not… how that works.

Oh hey Willis, good to see you on the fediverse. How’s the buffer doing?

Futurama freely makes shit up. They’ll invent new math theorems to make a body-swap episode work, but if their cool new backstory for Bender contradicts canon, they do not give a dang.

It’s not the worst plot hole, because it doesn’t affect the extremely episodic show. They’re just willfully apathetic toward consistency.

Why.

Not how anything works.
