    What if they just hired an actor to play his part?

    Why would you ever fucking resort to ai.

      Because they want to wear us down until we no longer bother to fight it. In the long run, they’ll be able to do it for virtually everything, and not have to pay a dime to expensive actors.

        Not if we don’t buy it. You can fix the market, but if there’s no demand, the company can’t change that. You can’t force people to watch a TV show, or play video games.

      Because studios are creatively bankrupt.

      Not only can they not conceive of making something original, but they can’t even imagine retreading old ground without the exact same cast.

        I dunno. I saw this play and it changed my opinion. You know The Music Man? I got to see it on stage with the woman who played the librarian love interest in the film in the cast. Her son was playing the lead in the play. Her part in the play had a lot less stage time. But it was really special to see both her and her son (who she was pregnant with during filming).

        That brought me around on the cameos.
