    I wish films became open source after a short period, that is, I want to see studios eventually release all their archival materials for every film so that fans can release their own cuts. Eventually it’d just be normal to see perfected versions of films. As cultural norms change the work can be tailored or lampooned to stay relevant and valuable.

    Back when Robin Williams, Billy Crystal and Whoopi Goldberg used to do Comic Relief together every year, there was a year where the other two made a bet with Robin Williams that he had to give some large sum, $5000 or something, to Comic Relief every time he grabbed his dick.

    He donated a lot of money.

    He apparently did this a lot. There was 16 hours of voice lines for the genie in Aladdin that couldn’t be used, mostly because they were dirty jokes.

      Batty from Fern Gully is no exception, and the sound guys can’t stop laughing while the director keeps cutting in to remind him to rein it in. Again. And again. And again. 🤣

      That’s not surprising. Have you ever seen him do stand-up or be interviewed? The dude was a maniac full of non-stop energy.
