This 2022 interview video goes into detail regarding various aspects of the development of Rampage arcade and Rampage World Tour along with other games Brian Colin designed. It's mostly old information, though there are some cool tidbits.

33:21 Apparently while developing the story for Rampage World Tour, Dr. Betty Veronica was intended to be Eustace DeMonic's daughter. Nothing in the game itself indicates any relationship besides her speaking on the phone with him at some points, indicated by the music from his cutscenes. She may even be speaking with him the whole time as opposed to anyone else in her phone cutscenes. That would certainly explain her authority telling either Eustace or some other employee to clean up a toxin due to its unknown effects (in reference to the V.E.R.N. mutation) and why she's being made privy to information about secret weapons as she's the CEO's daughter.

51:59 Rampage 3D: the unmade Rampage World Tour sequel concept. This one is interesting, though I feel like it would've been better as its own property. It's still more creative than simply adding new characters though, even if I do love all the various new characters that got added over the years.

54:27 Brian offered up story ideas for the Rampage movie, only to be turned down. Which sucks but not surprising.

55:22 Brian talks about filming his cameo, meeting Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson on the set of the Rampage movie and going to the film's premiere, finding out his cameo was cut from the film and a mention of his interview in the DVD extras. Even if the cameo was cut, Brian was basically treated like royalty from the sound of it and that's saying something compared to how many other creators are treated when adaptations of their properties are made.

58:56 Brian's thoughts on how the film was faithful in spirit to his game stories. He makes a fair point, I'll admit.

59:26 Brian gushes about Dwayne being a Rampage fanboy. It's cute and I'm glad they got to meet.

OK THIS IS NOT A FUCKING DRILL EVERYONE FUCKING REPEAT AFTER ME. THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL DO WHEN YOU WATCH MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL THIS YEAR:

You will navigate to the page on disney plus (and it has to be here. Unless someone has actually uploaded the REAL movie anywhere else you cannot get it elsewhere)

BUT YOU WILL NOT HIT PLAY. You won’t do it. Because it’s NOT THE REAL VERSION OF THE FILM AND DISNEY IS FUCKING LYING TO YOU AS IT ALWAYS DOES

You will scroll down HERE. To EXTRAS instead. You MUST GO HERE. This is non -negotiable

THEN YOU WILL SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE EXTRAS AND YOU WILL THEN HIT PLAY ON THIS BAD BOY: THE FULL LENGTH VERSION

And you will watch it. And you will thank me for having been so blind and led astray by that stupid fucking mouse. You’re welcome.

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.

For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.

So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

I can't keep being fundamentally changed as a person by animated movies, it's just not sustainable.

One of my fave narratives of the writer's strike was watching every studio-friendly Hollywood news source go ":( this movie was delayed due to the mean ol' strike", meanwhile random Wallace and Gromit-obsessed Twitter account DiscussingFilm would include "because studio executive, [executive name], refuses to pay workers fairly out of greed" on literally every piece of news, no matter how tangential to the strike, and anyway I'm pleased to see they're still at it

Watching Star Trek IV

Whale biologist: why do you hang around with that weird guy who calls you admiral and why are you so close?

Kirk: *hesitates*

Whale biologist, who lives in San Francisco in the 80s and is rapidly drawing many correct conclusions: that’s okay we don’t have to talk about it.

ngl, I'm beginning to take issue with how in conversations about anti-intellectualism almost automatically, the face of girls and women will be slapped on the problem.

i can't watch movies containing naval warfare for the same reason some horse lovers can't watch historic war movies where horses get shot
