No judgment on people who need them, I've just been fortunate enough and careful enough with money to never need one. I definitely never wanted one. I'm with you, Ccs. Credit cards are a racket that you shouldn't be punished for not using.

Your credit score is made up in part by the number of credit lines you have open and the age of those credit lines (if you have lots of people who are willing to give you credit and they've maintained that credit with you for a long time, you are more likely to be a good borrower). When you completely pay off your student loans, you'll lose some quantity of open credit lines, but more importantly, the average age of your open credit lines will likely way go down, as besides a home mortgage, there are few things you pay off over a long period of time more than student loans. Credit isn't scary unless you don't have any self control/financial literacy, just pay them off in full every month, don't buy more than you can afford, don't carry a balance, etc.

Sure, but if you do those thing normally you shouldn't need to establish a credit line anyway because you don't need to borrow to begin with. You'd think things like a history of paying your regular-rear end bills on time, never having filed for bankruptcy, or not being thousands of dollars in debt all the time might speak for your longterm financial reliability, but nah. None of that counts. All I wanna do is pay for things when I get them and not have to "borrow" money through a third party to pay it 15 days or whatever later instead. Being supremely forgetful has instilled the need to handle that poo poo right the gently caress now. (And yes, I enroll in autopay where available.) I'm getting off-topic here, sorry. I can vaguely tell you there's a sort of greenlight freeze at WB for the dumbest reason I ever heard right now, but not sure how much I can say on it. Don't expect any renewals for at least six months, I guess.

I'm sorry for starting a credit card derail. Anyway don't worry about me, for various reasons I have some people who manage stuff for me and they say my credit score is good. This is only sort of animated feature related but IATSE is gaining ground in Canada. The studio that animated Nimona is doing a union vote at the moment, and its very easy to form a union in Quebec so the odds are in their favor.

Electric Phantasm posted:My assumption has been they don't like it when you're no longer in a vice having the money drained out of you every month. It's both this and the statistical anomaly of paying off a debt in full does not indicate one's ability to consistently pay off future debts with interest. A track record is more valuable to creditors.

Looking forward to that ^ I just watched all of Bee and Puppycat on Netflix. Fun series. The ending is a bit abrupt, I wasn't sure if they were planning on getting another season or if that's just how they envisioned it ending. But I still enjoyed the show overall.

They'll probably be able to get Keith David back at least (also if you've ever seen a picture of the man, Jonathan Frakes could probably pull off a decent live action Xanatos)

That Disney 100 short is out on Disney plus. It was ok, but it was really funny in parts that were supposed to feel sentimental. "All those talented artists who have been here over the years" Yeah and then fired.

Pixeltendo posted:That Disney 100 short is out on Disney plus. I kinda liked it. I liked that they really tried to approach the older animation style. Even if some of them utterly failed like Pocahontas was horrific to see. A lot of shout outs to even movies that didn’t succeed in any meaningful way. They credited Genie as Robin Williams. Does anyone know what the car and the plane in the group photo are from?

The plane is from a short in Saludos Amigos. The car came from a cartoon short called 'Susie the little blue coupe'

I'm guessing because studios think it'll make more money if they release it closer to thanks giving?

I don't know the history of the Trolls franchise, maybe they're trying to delay bad press/reviews affecting worldwide box office by releasing it in other places before here? That sounds stupid but I've heard plenty of stupid when it comes to release strategies before...

More likely to release in international markets to discourage piracy, which is much more common with the reverse when stuff takes months to release outside the US.

I was hoping for more detail than that. What's the deal with them trying to avoid earnings for 25 years, is it some sort of advanced tax fuckery? Usually heirs are not averse to the estate bringing in money.
