I've enjoyed a lot of jon's work over the years, the MMA series probably being his career high point. I was folding pretty hard while I was watching it yesterday but the ross perot video didn't make much of an impression. Sports is a great entry point for his gosh shucks schtick, libertarian politics not so much

Why people keep crawling back to Bethesda even with a track record of Fallout 4/76/Starfield mystifies me, (also people willing to look past what Nolan the Lesser did to Westworld). I like the Fallout universe enough to keep watching the show but the best review I can give is that it's "fine".

I like the Fallout universe enough to keep watching the show but the best review I can give is that it's "fine". The reason is that his games satisfy people psychologically. He's the beneficiary of one weird trick for the human mind: people deeply want a game that lets them manifest their dreamed of hobo (charitably hunter-gatherer) life. He's lucky or wise to have found that niche and exploited it ruthlessly. Everything else can be forgiven as long as he serves that need. He can sell people power helmets full of toxic mold and they'll keep coming

Electronic loving Arts? That's what I thought. You'll take it and you'll like it. Now get on your knees and bark like a dog for Daddy Todd and you might get a new elder scrolls before you die of old age. -Todd Howard, probably.

The thing that bothers me so much about the rock being chronically 8 hours late to a shoot is that all he posts or talks about is hustlegrind culture and “outwork, bro”

It was great but there weren't enough annoying teenagers doing quips. zero bags of popcorn and minus one godzilla.

I find it kind of hard to believe that any movie would ever finish filming if the lead was 8 hours late on a nearly daily basis.

I will forgive The Rock's lovely politics and his awful on-set behavior because he re-introduced the following terms into the modern vernacular: -Roody-poo -Candy-rear end -Jabroni

You always tell the bassist they need to be somewhere 2 hours before they actually do. There's got to be a First AD out there smart enough to come up with the same solution.

Insofar as the rock is in some sense the apotheosis of sigma grindset hustle culture, you really can't rule out him ascending to high office and immediately presiding over the collapse

https://x.com/DiscussingFilm/status/1786061021309743155 So sick that Cosmatos is hitting the big time now, casting Stewart/Isaac is pretty big coming from Cage being the only big name from the last 2 films he did. Mandy is still one of my faves and I never thought Cosmatos would be able to get a 3rd, let alone a 4th film greenlit but apparently he has a lot of power behind the next two.

I feel like I've been burnt too many times by movie production news to get excited, but a Cosmatos vampire movie with Stewart and Isaacs fills me with glee. Also, just watched Hundreds of Beavers, it was a DELIGHT.

A lot of you weren't around back then, a lot of you might not have watched all of our stuff back then, a lot of you might need an excuse to kill two hours right now. Jon's work has meant so much to our team and to our audience for a long time now so we felt there was no better way to say "thank you" than with this special project.
