Watch Bill Maher Try and Fail to Flirt
If you looked up the word “smug” in the dictionary and found a picture of Bill Maher — well, you’d be surprised as that’s not how dictionaries work, but it would make sense.

If you looked up the word “smug” in the dictionary and found a picture of Bill Maher — well, you’d be surprised as that’s not how dictionaries work, but it would make sense.
Much like many other comedians of his era, Maher has gone from making politically edgy jokes to simply complaining about “kids these days” in a tone that I’m sure he considers vaguely humorous. For these “jokes,” he has his own platform called Real Time with Bill Maher, a show that features just as many quips about being “triggered” and “needing a safe space” as you might imagine.
But this show was not enough for Maher. Two years ago, he announced the launch of Club Random, a podcast where he “interviews” celebrities as an excuse to get in more of his talking points. However, sometimes these interviews go off the rails. By which I mean, sometimes Maher wants to fuck the guest. Case in point: His recent conversation with Bella Thorne.

This clip is a disaster. Maher tries and fails to land a few jokes, starts to take positions only to immediately backtrack and attempts to carry on the conversation while slurring his words, all while his less-than-subtle attempts of flirting are not reciprocated in the slightest.
I will not subject myself to the entire episode, but apparently it eventually devolved into Maher complaining about how kids these days have too much anxiety and that they “don’t know what the fuck is going on in the world,” a conversation spurred after Thorne said that she started smoking weed to deal with her own anxiety. The problem is that Thorne later said that her anxiety didn’t come as a result of being young, but being molested and losing her dad when she was eight years old. Swing and a miss, Bill!
Next time, Bill, keep it in your pants.
Pixar and Disney Artists Share Behind-the-Scene Animation Shots, and They’re Terrifying
Curiosity is natural, but sometimes it might be best to not see how the sausage gets made, at least when it comes to your favorite animated movies.

Curiosity is natural, but sometimes it might be best to not see how the sausage gets made, at least when it comes to your favorite animated movies. As a result, we’re going to give you the opportunity to look away before you gaze upon the stuff of nightmares that run the risk of ruining animated movies for you forever.
Okay, have the wimps left? Good. Fortunately for the rest of us, a couple of animators at Disney and Pixar have shared some behind-the-scenes (or behind-the-screen? I’m not sure) images of what animated movies look like while they’re still in progress, and they sure are something.

Take this image of Mirabel Madrigal from Disney’s Encanto. It looks like a screenshot from a video game made in the late 1990s; a step up from 1996’s Tomb Raider, but still a far cry from the final product. And what the hell is going on with her arms?
For those asking why her arms are long:

I decided to place her hands in this position because this is where they looked best with the camera (85 mm).
If I moved them closer to her face, they would have looked like they were too close to her face, and her eyeline wouldn't work.
Fortunately, artist Tony Bonilla was kind enough to follow up with an explanation, since everyone was asking the same question. Even that explanation wasn’t sufficient for some people, though, with one person writing, “I don’t understand but I’m amazed, This is like magic for me.” Ah, the magic of the movies!
Here are some alternate angles of the mouth shapes in Luca. It takes a lot of work to get it to look that simple! pic.twitter.com/q8FNx2Ac94

More recently, Pixar animator Cody Lyon shared even more disturbing images of the characters in Luca eating, in an effort to highlight just how much work goes into what looks like fairly simple shots of people opening their mouths. Evidently, it’s not just hard work that goes into them, but also malevolent energies, since both of those images are cursed as hell. I’m not sure that I needed to see the inside of an animated character’s mouth in such high resolution, but I thank you for the education, Cody.

Other Twitter users shared more examples of similar behind-the-scenes images, including some of Snoopy sporting an absolutely insane grimace — seriously, he looks constipated. Please get Snoopy some prunes, stat.
lol, even the look on Luca’s face seeing Alberto’s weird mouth. pic.twitter.com/iOboCCiisF

Hopefully animators sharing the most disturbing behind-the-scenes images from their work catches on, assuming The Mouse allows such things. People really do love seeing how the things they love get made, even if they’re left with a few little nightmares afterwards. It’s worth it!
