I could also totally see him not wanting to voice the character anymore. Talk about him not getting the money he "wanted" might be mis-reporting him going "Look, you want me to do ANOTHER season of that? $500,000 per episode" because he just wants to be left alone.

Bust Rodd posted:John DiMaggio is inarguably a Billy West/Tom Kenny/Tara Strong level talent that deserves whatever he’s asking for. Also isn’t there a Voice Actors Guild? Isn’t there, like, a certain amount of money he has to make just for being in the business for 30+ years? SAG-AFTRA reps voice actors too

I'd expect a poor performance from the rest of the cast if he's not on board when they record. I also think they could get away with changing everyone's voice by just having an accident on the ship that changes everyone's voice but the people inside the ship at the time. I dunno we've already tasted purple. Fry can ask if anyone heard purple, bender was on the Ship's hull at the time so he sounds like someone doing a Bender impression. There all wrapped up in a very Futurama way. My first part of the rest of the cast sandbagging isn't valid if it's not over money. I think they'd respect him wanting out.

I could see that, except: The_Doctor posted:DiMaggio’s Twitter right now is him retweeting people saying they need him back as Bender. This seems less like the actions of a person who's not coming back because they're over the role and instead implies they're not coming back only because the studio is trying to screw them over and not pay them fairly. There's a long history of voice actors getting unfairly compensated for the work they do and I'd bet dollars to donuts that's what's going on here.

Analytic Engine posted:FYI there are at least two versions of the narration, don't remember which is better or why While the first has some line deliveries I prefer ("You are so loving stupid," says Harry; Just then- ARGHH!!! Holy loving poo poo!!!), Neely loses steam near the end, while the second draft has more energy and is better performed overall.

Striking while the iron is cold I see. Could be interesting, but I kind of doubt it. Would be happy to be wrong though. In other news of bringing back things folks had mostly forgotten about, did anyone have MC Motherfucking Skat Kat showing up in a movie on their bingo cards?

x-post from the chat thread but they've explained how the Beavis and Butt-Head revival is going to work. https://twitter.com/TitmouseInc/status/1493745677599313920 Basically a movie that will bring them to the present day and then the series will go from there.

Bloom County makes me laugh harder than almost anything else in the world. Berkeley Breathed, Gary Larson, Bill Waterson, these three have a better understanding of life, humor, and the human condition than literally any, ANY, of the greatest novelists in living memory. I also think Achewood at it’s best can hang with that crew, I believe, although it’s less whimsical despite being about talking animals. I’ll watch da Bloom County show

The background here is that a character in a face-concealing mask and suit had been hanging around for a while during the Covid storyline, and everyone assumed it was Bill the Cat:

Apparently the reason John DiMaggio's not doing new new Futurama isn't because he's not being paid enough, but because no one's being paid enough in his opinion https://twitter.com/TheJohnDiMaggio/status/1493769815353225217

i do think it's a bit lovely for West and Sagal to not talk with DiMaggio about wages before signing on if they were all approached at the same time. not as lovely as the company low-balling them in the first place but it really puts DiMaggio in an awkward position here which I think he's handling expertly.

Those Bloom County strips do a surprisingly good job of capturing the Calvin & Hobbes energy minus Calvin. The panel of Hobbes bursting out of the trashcan could have been drawn by Watterson.

Breathed & Watterson effortlessly dunk on any other comic strip artist from their peer group and pretty much any comic strip artist you’ve ever heard of. Both men clearly draw inspiration from George Herrimen, of Krazy Kat which was a WWII era comic strip but Herriman was never given the color and freedom of the later men so we don’t really know what he was capable of. Berkeley and Bill both pretty much got to do whatever they wanted within the format.
