“You must see with eyes unclouded by hate. See the good in that which is evil, and the evil in that which is good. Pledge yourself to neither side, but vow instead to preserve the balance that exists between the two.”

‘GODZILLA MINUS ZERO’ has opened with $31.6M domestically.
Biggest domestic opening EVER for a live-action international film.

Probably one of the best Robot Chicken sketchs cause of the Training Day parody. Wish they did more kaiju stuff.

I don’t tweet much politically but I will say that if there’s one thing that’s encouraging about tonight, it’s that there are still a lot of people who think for themselves. Having a country full of straight-ticket voters at war with each other is good for no one.

The White House has once again used Japanese manga/anime to promote itself, with Trump and his allies on ship from One Piece.
The Japanese government has previously requested that the U.S. government to stop using anime and manga without permission of the copyright holders.

Travis Knight says the final battle in ‘WILDWOOD’ combines stop-motion, hand-drawn, and CG animation.
“It required us to use every single technique and technology that we’ve developed... but in the end, we want people to be enveloped in the emotion of the story.”

Always very funny seeing normal people's reactions to this wonderful sickness

Frank Herbert: “I think we should be wary of Power and the people it attracts. Governments and religions are systems that can be used by manipulative people to gain power.”

Travis Knight says that LAIKA will never use generative AI in their films.
“AI is theft. It’s the ingestion of years and years and years of human creativity and ingenuity, regurgitated back. It has no humanity. It has no spirit.”

Fascinating how King Ghidorah’s 1964 film debut and his 2019 MonsterVerse debut both feature a money shot pairing him with imagery associated with the majority religion of each film’s country of origin: Shintoism in the former, Christianity in the latter.
Wildwood is such a beautiful and breathtaking achievement. I was consistently in awe of what I was witnessing on screen. Laika’s crowning achievement in terms of the visual artistry on display. boxd.it/gVeKfP

“Wildwood” director Travis Knight calls AI an “amazing piece of technology” but says, “I’m not embracing it at all.”
“I see technology as a tool, and we use technology at Laika. A pencil is technology, a paintbrush is technology, a 3D printer is technology. Technology is useful when you put it in the hands of people, when you put it in the hands of artists who can amplify their voice."
“Technology is not useful when it takes the place of the artist, and that’s the concern with generative AI,” he continued. “It’s an amazing piece of technology, but the concern is that when it supplants the artist, then we have an issue because the computer cannot speak about humanity at all. It doesn’t know what it feels like.”
