Also on The Simpsons he really didn't understand the phone call joke and they had to trick him to do it the way they wanted.

Yeah, he straight up refused to say the lines because the joke (it sounds from Bart's end like he's having a conversation with Marge but he's just leaving a voicemail) didn't make sense to him. They ended up just writing the other half of what that conversation would have been and told him they changed it. I'm not sure how they got him to say "they weren't home."

Out of curiosity, what makes you say that? I don't know that I've seen anything that implies she's even leans conservative.

I'm not going to post a lmgtfy link or anything, but genuinely just google "Melissa Joan Hart conservative" and you can find a bevy of articles quoting her talking about being conservative, about voting for Dole in 96, about how difficult it was being a conservative in Hollywood, supporting libertarian political candidates, and that her "vocal support of BLM" was a picture of Bill Robinson aka Bojangles and that she replaced it with a bible quote after getting pushback.

I think parents were scared of kids getting labelled and having diagnosis follow them throughout school. I am sure we all remember being labelled a "SPED kid" and how you get put into a different track/getting pulled out of class for the help you recieved.

Our school district now checks for this stuff and has integrated classrooms and it seems like its destigmatized a lot.

My one kid has a gifted IEP in their school, it's a combination of the extra teacher coming into the class to do extra stuff with the gifted kids there and pulling them outas a group occasionally to his classroom.

Their friend works with the gifted teacher and then also goes to the separate IEP classroom, sort of like the leg up room Bart ends up in with the circles of paper. They recognize now that some kids need extra help, some kids need extra learning opportunities to keep them from getting bored, and some kids need both because they're advanced in some areas and behind in others.

I think that's great, it sounds a lot more helpful than what they had when I was a kid which was just like a once-a-week group discussion and photocopies of the day's crossword from the Inquirer.

They also wrapped the expenses of a few decades worth of failed adaptations of the property into its budget, so it was kind of impossible for it to ever actually make money.

A lot of sounds in doom were chopped up or slowed down, or occasionally a few different sounds were overlaid, but AFAIK every sound from the original game was from a library. I know that's not true for doom 2 because of Romero's icon of sin intro.

I think the plan for the sequel trilogy was too basically exquisite corpse it. Each one knows where the previous one ended and where the next one will begin and then were gonna just do whatever in the middle. Not a great plan!

Johnson wanted to subvert the franchise and the genre but ultimately when star wars works it's very comfortable within the set of conventions and clichés and subverting that just makes a movie that has some star wars window dressing but doesn't really feel like star wars. There are some great ideas and some really great moments, but it's overall kind of a mess.

After the chuds got pissy, the non-chuds were also not thrilled, Disney decided to back track hard. After book of Henry was a loving disaster they also ran as far away from Trevorrow as they could and begged JJ to come back, but also seemingly gave him almost no freedom so he had to write a script very quickly and hit all of Disney's idiotic demands and deal with a star dying and also I think probably really didn't give a gently caress.

Also maybe JJ hated Johnson's stuff and wanted to spite him, but like while JJ isn't a great director he's not usually that bad.

NO HE DIDN'T. THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED. That is literally not what happened.

We already knew Palpatine was coming back. He was at the convention that announced the movie and his laugh was at the end of the original trailer.

You want to know what happened in Fortnite? The Millenium Falcon came down, JJ Abrams came out, and showed a clip from the movie. Then he talked about great the movie was going to be, got back in the Falcon, and was chased off by Imperial ships. Then Palaptine's voice came up saying 'THE DAY OF THE SITH IS AT HAND LOL gently caress THE JEDI' and everyone got a lightsaber to fight with.

I get that hating on Fortnite is popular but there's a whole of actual things to complain about with Episode 9, we don't have to believe a lie about what happened in Fortnite if we want to complain about the movie. :argh:

Blows my mind that Starscream was the original Mr. Burns. Cartoon history probably would have been really different if he hadn’t overdosed.

EDIT: also apparently Chris Latta was fired from voicing Mr. Burns before he died, probably because the drugs made him hard to work with.

He was also fired from being Moe, but they just fuckin threw his takes away. Supposedly they thought he did a fine job they just all hated working with him so they hired Hank Azaria instead.
