A zoom...? a moving camera...?
If you look in the background, the secrets of this scene from THE GRATEFUL LITTLE MICE (1908) reveal themselves. The actors were on a platform that was wheeled toward the camera. Notice that the cabinet in the background doesn't get closer.

Louder for the people in the back.
I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail.
Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.

Again - just start with the
perjury charges. They’re easy to prove and people will understand them. Ease Americans into seeing their former authority figures in prison.
This past weekend I accidentally programmed an Easter-themed double-feature by watching Dragonslayer and Excalibur.

Trump didn’t just roll our politics back to the dark ages, he knocked us into the speculative fiction of the 80s. Cue the music from Cyberpunk 2077.
”When they desire to clothe themselves the Valar take upon them forms some as of male and some as of female; for that difference of temper they had even from their beginning, and it is but bodied forth in the choice of each, not made by the choice”

A former translator and voiceover director at Kingdom Come: Deliverance developer Warhorse Studios has claimed he was fired and replaced with AI.
In a Reddit post, he was told his “position at the company would become ‘obsolete’ in favour of using AI for all translations going forward.”
Don't use "A.i.," fellow
writers, or even the NYT might feel compelled to air you out.
The sound design on that mechanical howl is freaking ICONIC. To this day, it gives me a thrill. I really wish there were a making-of on the sound design and music for that show. I'd love to hear how they gave the 'voice' to 'the lady.'
A thought of "separating the art from the artist":
It's a way to approach the work as an audience member, taking it entirely on its own terms. Just the art, regardless of what the artist might be like. It's not about money.
If you buy it and the artist gets paid, you haven't separated shit.

“We’re “”just”” using ai for concepts but then meticulously following its orders by hand” is just production cuckoldry, you’re cucking yourselves
My more nuanced take is FUCK J.K. Rowling.
Our trans brothers, sisters, and siblings need our love and support more than we need another Harry Potter. Read and adapt books by better humans. Especially trans ones.
