When Steven Spielberg previewed the T. rex CGI while making Jurassic Park, he told stop-motion animator Phil Tippet, ‘You’re out of a job,’ to which Tippett replied, 'Don’t you mean extinct?’ Spielberg later wrote this dialogue into the script and kept Tippett on as a consultant for dinosaur movement, so Tippett had his stop-motion animators trained in CGI, and he won an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects.

Tengen did the multi-game ad thing too, but you can’t blame them after all that Nintendo lawsuit nonsense spent their cash.

‘Miles Ahead’ Shows A Dissipated Davis Who Still Burns Hot

Fresh Air film critic David Edelstein reviews the new Miles Davis biopic, starring Don Cheadle:

“As Miles Davis in Miles Ahead, he has the right wariness and sad, shocked-open wide eyes. Cheadle grew up playing the sax and learned trumpet for the role of Sammy Davis Jr. in the TV biopic, The Rat Pack. Onstage in the movie, he’s unusually convincing miming to Mile Davis’s performances. He bends over his trumpet as if he’s thinking each note, saying what he can’t say in any other language. The combination—thoughtful and feral, intellectual and erotic—is, for many of us, the essence of Miles. It’s a thrilling performance in a movie that’s… good. But not up to its star.”
