Yup, I’m one of them. It was a big sporting event scene. They had about 200 people for the crowd and were told they were scanning us just to fill in the crowd so it looks like 10k people. I’m willing to bet my complete scan is still saved on a hard drive for future use without telling me. Read more
Okay, the title of this Morning Spoilers is misleading — House of the Dragon was going to continue filming during the writer’s strike, but it definitely shut down now due to the actor’s strike. You know, since the actors won’t actually be on set. Read more
Background: I’m a non-union VO actor, because I live in TN and there is virtually no union work here... Read more
The strike includes any and all promotions. Including cons. So except having to edit that comic-con article :D Read more
I guess we’re gonna find out what happens when unchecked corporate greed meets with workers that actually have the power to push back against it (and can’t be forced back to work by the Feds). Read more

Linda, thank you for this thoughtful and thorough review; some of the best writing on the site lately. Read more
But if a kid read your fanfiction and wanted to write their own, that would be perfectly fine with you? Even if their stories were almost carbon copies of yours because they were a little too inspired? And this would be fine because of romantist concepts like “humanity” and “soul”? Read more
Excellent article. I like all of your work, but this was special. Thank you! Read more
It was a banger. I wouldn’t have been reading an article about MTG cards without it. Read more
If someone tells me they know what real elves are supposed to look like, I’m backing away. Slowly. Read more
They’ve been busy this year, first it was complaining/protesting the closure of splash at WDW to change it to Princess and the Frog, then the little mermaid review bombing, and just yesterday mourning the splash closure at Disneyland for the same thing. Read more
Magic fans have known this for about a year. The fact that all the racists are coming out of the woodwork now, when the mainstream announcement is made, tells you a lot about who is really getting angry at this: people who are threathened by pictures in a card game they don’t play. In other words immature, insecure… Read more
