I feel like this is less an attempt to make Merida sexier and more a case of a lazy illustrator who can only draw one type of smile and body. That sassy look is like CalArts Animation 101.

You’re clearly just going to the wrong places. Everything in Northbeach (ahem “Little Italy”), is a terrible overpriced tourist trap. There’s a lot of very good indian and sushi to be had, but yes it’s almost all far away from the more touristy areas, usually out in the Richmond or Sunset, because that’s the center of the asian population.
Ehtiopian is a bit spottier. When I moved back to SF from New York it’s the one food variety that was hard to find, but I eventually found a pretty decent place on Geary. The best ethiopian in the area is in San Jose though.

Also in SF you should get sandwiches made with Dutch Crunch bread, which is way better than a sourdough baguette.

Spice it up!

This is all true. The main problem with the visual effects industry is film subsidies created by foreign governments.
It’s partially that the work has become democratized so a small cheapo studio in Malaysia can undercut US work, but really there are only a handful of big effects companies capable of doing blockbuster-size effects. The real problem is that England, Canada, New Zealand, SIngapore etc all have tax credits for their domestic film industries. So if effects are 20% cheaper to do in London or Vancouver, obviously all the work goes there. The US effects companies open satellite offices abroad to claim a piece of that, but if big projects fall through it’s very difficult to continue to operate in the US, like what happened with R&H. So for an effects artist you either have to be willing to move from job to job in different countries or get out of the film business (which is what a lot of the older, more experienced people do). It’s unsustainable.

That VFX guy should have sped up his thanking of studios and boring people if he wanted to get to talking about Rhythm and Hues going out of business. Way too little too late. He could have planned that much better. The US visual effects industry is dying because of the way the studios treat it, and all the people who got that dude an oscar for best visual effects are currently out of work. Deserved much more of a mention.

The weirdest thing is this video was filmed in Iceland? All those locations are in Reykjavik.
Did they fly to Iceland just to film it? What was the budget for this thing?

Alex Jones would very much like to have a gun, please.

He must be from Detroit.

something is wrong with her lips

To be art a movie needs to have kinda beige-ish block letter titles, apparently.
