So #toonami, the programming block i co-created and have lead for many years now, turns 25 years old today. It’s an anniversary I never even contemplated we would reach, frankly. TV blocks are not meant to last this long, and they almost never do.
I’m not normally very self-reflective about my work. I tend to just want to keep moving on to whatever the next project or idea is, I’m a bit restless that way. It’s why I’ve been involved in so many different creative endeavors and projects over the years.

Imo what he's saying is pretty harmless- and really the entire movie is a thought experiment about this. "What if this seemingly wonderful person who was murdered horribly was instead allowed to go on living" seems like a pretty nice sentiment to me!
The book spends even more time with her & paints her as smarter & more thoughtful than pretty much everyone else in the story. Whether or not he did change the perception of Sharon Tate, I think it was worthwhile to try- and okay to feel proud that he did. Shit, no one else had!

Here’s a condensed version of a video we made for Chrome Children, our Stones Throw/AS comp. We filmed a live show at SXSW where Madvillain played. I was on stage filming the performance along with my friends.
DOOM was late for the show. I was super stressed because we hadn’t heard from him and Madvillain were about to go on. He arrived, no joke, five minutes before they needed to play. I handed him his check, he rolled onstage, and killed the show. Legend.

This post is from DOOM’s wife’s Jasmine. If Jas wrote it it’s legit.
I’ll tell some DOOM stories a bit later, for now I need to process... Dude made me laugh and made me furious, almost got me fired and I STILL loved him. Rest in Power to one of the greatest to ever do it.
Okay here’s a DOOM story or two. Daniel Dumile aka MF DOOM was someone I first worked with on the DangerDOOM project. During the making of the album, I would sometimes pick him up to take him to the studio to lay vocals.

lol guess we won’t be getting Caribou to play the Adult Swim Fest any time soon. I respect his stance though. It’s a slippery slope, for sure. My feeling has always been to take the money from the rich and give it to the artists who need it, personally. But that’s just me.
As someone who is in the position to pay artists for their work, I will occasionally run into someone who just flies get feel comfortable taking corporate money for any reason. And I respect that courage and commitment.

In honor of PARASITE taking the ultimate filmmaking prize (hooray!), here's a thread of some of my favorite Korean films for those of you who asked, and are looking to delve a little deeper into Korean cinema:
Gotta start with one of my favorite movies of all time, Kim Jee-woon's I SAW THE DEVIL. A brutally tense/weird cat & mouse between a cop and a killer. One of the few revenge tales that truly attempts to show just how hollow "an eye for eye" leaves us.

Something I love about my job that I don’t talk about much is the letters we get from inmates. You’d be surprised how many letters we get from folks that are locked up, telling us that Toonami is one of the only things that gets them through their week.
One of the reasons I wanted a job in media was to be able to provide people a respite/escape, however fleeting, from the problems we all face in this dark, cold world.
