The idea of doing a character voice… doing an impression of someone else’s voice… while being able to hear clearly both the original voice and the impression is absolute mastery of your craft
elmo doing an impression of lorne michaels is actually killing me so bad bc why is it good

My favorite clip from the documentary I Know That Voice. The cast comments on Chris Rock's controversial claim that doing voice-over is easy at 84th Oscars. Here, the latter half of his speech is recreated with animation and Eric Bauza shows us what a REAL voice-actor is like.

So anyway, this is a line from Buffy when the prequels were still being released.
As an older millennial that was a teenager for these movies, I do not remember anybody saying the prequels sucked at the time. That was social media revisionism by nerdy edgelords on social media 10 years later. Episode I is a masterpiece (and Empire is still my favorite)

I was on the set of GET HIM TO THE GREEK, during the shooting of a party scene, and at one point, Brand pointed to the extras holding area and referred to it as a "well-stocked fishing pond." He has always been this way.
Russell Brand’s trial is devastating. Testimony describes him as a rabid animal, demanding sex every few hours from whoever happened to be around, and taking it regardless of consent Brand’s defense is that women knew he was a degenerate maniac, so they should have expected it by being in a room with him (several allege he attacked them in public and tried to drag them into bathroom stalls) This is separate from FIVE disturbing allegations in Channel 4 Dispatches. Brand has zero regard for women as human beings - I can’t even imagine how many victims there truly are Blows my mind that so many people peddle his lunacy portraying him as a truth-telling martyr being smeared by the establishment - and buy his newfound religious hucksterism Makes sense he’s leapt into the movement of sexual offenders and pedophiles, where he belongs (other than prison)

It’s funny how much more exciting this movie would sound if you just changed one thing.
Replying to @FilmUpdates
Directed by Shawn Levy, the film will begin shooting in New York next year. Linus Sandgren (Dune: Part 3) has been hired as director of photography and the project will shoot on film. 🔗 hollywoodreporter.com/movies…

This is objectively, verifiably untrue.

imagine having to fly your cast and crew to the middle of nowhere and have them complete a take when the sky gets to look like that for 30 minutes and never again for the next 3 days
So that's why we barely see constructs in Lanterns. Budget went to CGI backgrounds… …of rural Nebraska 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

Ant-Man and the Wasp had the same DP as Heat Avengers: Doomsday has the same DP as Drive Spider-Man: Far From Home had the same DP as Daredevil S1 There’s only so much a DP can do when the director has the visual sensibilities of Aaron Sorkin
Shawn Levy's ‘GHOST RIDER’ will be shot on film. Linus Sandgren (‘Dune: Part 3’) is the cinematographer. (Source: hollywoodreporter.com/movies…)

This is ridiculously common and almost every production does this. Ozark, for example, didn't actually shoot in Ozark.

Fewer people are reading than ever before... yet this cultural idea that film and TV adaptations are not ALLOWED to change anything from their source material has never been more widespread. I can't explain. Are people arguing for the supremacy of books they've never read?

Pretty sure Clayface was marketed as a horror movie, Matt.
DCU shills acting like the Clayface box office is a win is hilarious. If it hits $100M or even $130M it shows not a lot of fans showed up. This is a "DC" brand movie not a "horror" movie. $100M is atrocious.

“Everybody keeps recommending his movies, yet I’ve refused to watch any of them. How could he possibly be any good?” Humanity is not gonna make it.
OK, I'll bite. If John Cassavetes is so insanely influential and brilliant, why have I not heard about him until recently? I've been on a side-quest with classic and esoteric movies, mostly through the Criterion collection. I've watched dozens of Criterion closet picks from filmmakers and actors I admire. They pick Cassavetes films ALL THE TIME. Probably more than any other director except Scorsese. I haven't seen a single Cassavetes film. I don't think I've ever heard anyone talk about a Cassavetes film outside of those videos. I'm not a slouch on film, I've got a pretty wide spread on what I've seen & what I appreciate. How has Cassavetes slipped through that net so completely for so long?

I knew Eric Bauza a little bit, I'd see him around. Not long after Trump was first elected we were somewhere talking about Trump and he did a perfect Trump impression (this was before everyone did one) and from then on my Trump impression was just Eric's. RIP to a great one.

I am deeply saddened to learn of Walter Koenig’s passing. Although we did not know each other well away from the set, we shared the later seasons of the original Star Trek series and the six films that followed. What I observed, and what so many fans have expressed over the years, was a man who genuinely loved the Star Trek community. At conventions, Walter was rarely content to remain behind a signing table. He preferred to be among the people who had kept Star Trek alive for so many decades. That kind of genuine connection is rare, and it will be remembered by everyone who came into contact with him. My condolences to his family, his friends, and the countless fans whose lives he touched.

When people say things like this I wonder if they realize how deeply unpopular comic books are as a medium. Batman #1 was the second-best selling title of 2025 in copies sold. Half as many people read it in total as saw Clayface opening weekend.
The reason DC Comics still exists in the modern day is because it’s many stories are interconnected. Don’t embrace that, you reject the reason the thing you’re adapting is successful

at this point, we might as well apply the reading/literacy crisis to parents too because how do you not learn anything about the movie’s rating beforehand? *especially* the warnings. the blame’s all on you for bringing in kids that can’t handle any of those topics.
WILDWOOD IS PG-13‼️‼️‼️

Eric, you will be missed, my friend. ❤️ Eric Bauza & I first worked together years ago on the tv series BREADWINNERS, where he & his co-star Robbie Daymond displayed an uncanny comedic chemistry that the animation barely scratched the surface of. In person, they virtually lit up the recording studio--it was amazing to watch. We last worked together, in person, on LOONEY TUNES, he as Bugs Bunny & myself as Pete Puma, both of us insanely enjoying bringing voice to characters that inpsired us as kids. And that's key for all the up & coming voice actors out there: LOVE what you do, be it animation, video games, radio spots, tv commercials, or industrial/educational voiceovers. If you love the work--no matter what it is--you'll have the most amazing career you can imagine. Godspeed, Eric 🙏and my heartfelt condolences to all his friends & family.❤️
