Hellllooooo, people in the place! Do you like... intelligently written time travel? Do you like... effective horror? Do you like... deeply endearing and loveable queer WOC protagonists and supporting characters? Do you like(in theory)... Doctor Who? Do you like... cute dogs? You do!? Of course you do! And that means you'll love All Night Laundry, a Canadian sci-fi/horror MSPA-style webcomic by Jack Fractal that ran from 2013 to 2021!

TWs include: violence, blood, shootings, death, animal death, particularly freaky zombies, various wounds, drowning/claustrophobia, brief references to the Second Chechen War, and occasional untranslated French.

It's amazing to me how in the year of our lord 2025 people will still defend Jocat, a man who was Deeply Concerned that people streaming the transphobic wizard game were Experiencing Harassment and also has literally never had a conversation with a woman that he didn't make into a sex thing

Literally every moment of good acting would be impossible, because AI lacks the capacity to intone correctly due to lacking both emotions and reason on a fundamental level. It can't be anything but stiff and/or disjointed vocally.

The AI Loss List

I'm making a list of everything we wouldn't have in acted media if we replaced every actor with AI. This will not be a comprehensive list, but if you can think of any moments that aren't already on the list, just add them somewhere. For all some people feel like being able to hear their favourite actore read them their homework is cool, it's time to really look at what we'd lose.

Baldur's Gate 3 - Astarion's dealing with Cazador, and the aftermath. That was not scripted. It was done in one take. Neil Newbon just ... acted. The performance director watched that and went, "...Yeah, we caught the lightning in the bottle; we're done".

Midnight Cowboy - "I'm walkin' here!" The problem with filming on location in NYC is that ... well, there's traffic. There's always going to be traffic. So they were shooting that scene, a taxi nearly hits Dustin Hoffman and instead of being shocked out of character, he reacts in character, and well enough that it's now one of the movie's most iconic lines.

Raiders of the Lost Ark - the sword scene. Filming on location presents other hazards. Harrison Ford was dealing with a case of dysentery while he was filming Raiders of the Lost Ark, and was looking down the barrel of actually having to do a whole swordfight in that condition. So he turned around to Spielberg and went, "...Can I just shoot him?" And apparently ... yes he could.

Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back - Han going into carbonite. Carrie Fisher's "I love you" was scripted. Harrison Ford's "I know" was not. Ford felt that it fit the character and the relationship dynamic better. He was right.

Basically point at a Robin Williams movie and understand that there's at least a half-dozen moments of Robin Williams improv in it. Hell, by the time we got to Good Will Hunting, they shot the last scene (which was going to be the closing line of the film) multiple times, just getting Williams to ad-lib each time.

Aliens gets a mention in the quotes, but things I didn't know were things like James Cameron allowed the actors playing the marines to customise their own gear.

The "like tears in rain" speech in Blade Runner was actually shortened a bit by Rutger Hauer, with "...like tears in rain" added at the end.

In Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, that whole thing where Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig were asking pedestrians for directions to the "nuclear wessels"? Those were actual pedestrians. Not actors. Just ... imagine being in San Francisco in 1986 and having this very Russian dude who you may or may not recognise asking that. (I mean, probably someone noticed cameras? But maybe not; I have literally walked into an outdoor filming on my way to work without realising.)

This doesn't fit in lines, but Anthony Hopkins' hissing noise after talking about how he ate the census taker's liver? Ad lib.

Reservoir Dogs - The torture scene was in the script. The talking into the severed ear? Not so much.

A few lines that I didn't even know were improv or ad-lib:

"We're gonna need a bigger boat" - Jaws

"Heeeeeeeeeere's Johnny!" - The Shining

"Here's lookin' at you, kid." - Casablanca

"You can't handle the truth!" - A Few Good Men

"You know... Morons." Blazing Saddles

"I am Iron Man" - Iron Man

"You talkin' to me?" - Taxi Driver

"I don't wanna go." Avengers - Infinity War

"Game over, man! Game over!" - Aliens

"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the war room!" - Dr Strangelove

"Flames ... flames on the side of my face..." - Clue

"She talks in her sleep." - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Feel free to add. There's so many more, some I didn't want to include (there are some works I won't mention because of certain TERFs who created them) and some I don't figure a lot of people would recognise (I'm particularly fond of "Waaaarioooors! Come out and plaa-ay! *clinking bottles*), but seriously, check out your favourite piece of media and see what we'd lose if we replaced actors with AI.

*DING DING DING* TIME FOR MORE “OLIVE ENJOYED SOME MEDIA AND IS GONNA MAKE THAT EVERYONE ELESES PROBLEM” if you’ve liked any of the things i reblog and occasionally talk about on here you should check out

It’s got homestuck-y vibes but there’s also a LOT of doctor who influence and a whole bunch of other stuff like antimemetics division mind fuckery and otherverse-esqu meta narrative awareness. I had a great time with it and if you need something to occupy a week I would recommend
