This would be a nuanced position except most of the product is shit. Your position is that while 80+% of shows are garbage, we really need to hardcore support the people producing said garbage instead of having standards. Shows like early GoT couldn't be made today. Not because of some strike, audience boredom/disapproval, money issues, etc. It's because no one in Hollywood would produce a show like that. I'd rather see people unwilling to make good shows because of 'Diversity!' influences or lack of talent stay unemployed. That's what happens in most non-government jobs. I'd rather a hard reset than to continue to support shit. It's not a difficult position to imagine when you see what's out there today. When I look at the typical show today all I see is, 'Garbage in, garbage out.' I don't miss garbage.

Sounds like a much better show to me. The panel discussion was the only thing I watched, to see what the non-MSM Libs were talking about. All his "comedy" is absolute shit and maybe this means he will get back to the 5 people panel with a push to get more conservatives on the show too.

He's a complete piece of shit that got on TV after 9/11 and said we were cowards that deserved it. I'd set him on fire then not piss on him.

He never said the US deserved it. It was a conversation about Bush calling the terrorists cowards. Maher said the US lobbing cruise missiles at targets in the Middle East, while we were all sitting comfortable in our homes was cowardly and that the terrorist that rode the planes all the way into the buildings, staring their deaths in the face, would not be considered cowardly.
There was also a show around that time about how Clinton was the main one that sat at home lobbing missiles at people, leading to more and more animosity toward the US (not that Maher seemed to agree):
Regardless, he is (or at least was, before the Wuhanic Plague) able to get on a wide selection of mostly non-woke leftists and sometimes even conservatives to have a round table discussion. Which helps to inform me of different conversations and points of view that I certainly wouldn't get here.
I find it a bit funny, that today in the Politics forum, people were making fun of Wokesters blocking and DISENVOUING any views that run counter to the message...

Mahers a tool but he's 100% right about this.
Its annoying how politicians - almost all of whome have never stared mortal danger in the face - constantly call suicide bombers "cowards".
There are a whole lot of reasons to criticize terrorists and other suicide bombers. Cowardice is the single most backwards and non-factual criticism one could make at them.

Honestly VFX artists for Marvel sounds like one of the worst jobs on the planet, its hard to blame em. You don't see filmmakers who care put out garbage VFX...go look at Dune or BR2049. Fuck wasnt Antman 3 infront of that screen thing they built for small shows like Mando? Here go create an entire movie on your computer and do it in a year. fuck that.

This is true. But he's one of the few liberals willing to engage in discussion and that should be recognized.

yeah, that shit drives me crazy. either do the job right or dont fucking do it. doing it half assed and then calling it "good nuff" or "i meant to make it look like that" is such an insult to audiences intelligentce and it makes them look like shit tier artists. these movies get delayed and reshot so often now that there is plenty of time to release a movie done right. artists need to tell these bastards to fuck off when they call for last minute VFX changes. contract an amount of work. do that work properly and then send it out the door. want more done? draw up a new contract and then wait til its properly done. cant wait that long? then you work around the VFX that you already have.

Modern bands would be dumb not to make videos. Tho it's possible they aren't as common as back on the day. But yeah, people these days doom scrolling won't stop and just listen to something, they need video too.

My second cousin went straight out of college to do computer animation for Pixar back in late 90s. She said it was insanely boring, the pay sucked, the hours were super long and everyone who worked there was either a complete zombie or an total asshole. It's was basically a sweat shop.
She quit after 3.5-4 yrs and moved back to the Midwest. Pixar called her a year later and hired her as a subcontractor, better pay and work from home. She says it's still mind numbingly boring but she gets paid well.

This is honestly a huge step by the state on the side of the employees for once. Kind of crazy. How ever it is offset by the start date. Seems like more fence sitting when you consider that.California Senate Approves Unemployment Pay for Striking Workers
