I’m guessing probably because she was never cast as the friendly-sounding voice of an AI, what with that being something people associated Scarlett Johansson’s voice with?
I’m guessing that the multiple people who took over for Bug Bunny’s voice after Mel Blanc died were not compared to Mel Blanc before they took on the role.
Maybe, but she also may not have even known that she had that quality when she was hired. Casting directors don’t necessarily tell you why you got a role. I did VO for quite some time. Sometimes I knew I was being hired to sound like someone else- generally a fictional character, but occasionally to dub in some dialogue when an actor was unavailable if I could do a good enough impression- but who knows about any of the other times? I’ve never been compared to Dan Aykroyd, but maybe someone thought I sounded enough like him that I got hired for a role which they wanted a voice like his for. They wouldn’t have told me and I wouldn’t have asked.
The difference is that those people are armchair generals. Ask them when they’re going to start the glorious revolution and they get all het up and start making excuses.
No, that’s stuff said in private. This is things said in public to make yourself sound like you’re going to be right there next to Che with your machine gun when the fact is you’re just as petrified into doing nothing as the rest of us.
On Tuesday, voters in Crook County passed measure 7-86, which asked voters if they support negotiations to move the Oregon/Idaho border to include Crook County in Idaho. The measure is passing with 53% of the vote, and makes Crook County the 13th county in eastern Oregon to pass a Greater Idaho measure.
Which one is the way worse one? Because I can’t really think of a way in which one is way worse than the other. I wouldn’t ever want to live in either place if I were a woman or a queer person.
People seem to forget, people even seemed to forget in 2002 and 2003, that Bush had been talking about finishing what his father started all the way back when he was running for president the first time in 1999. I kept telling people at the time.
Oh fucking great. My daughter’s online school requires her to run “Windows 8 or greater,” but we got her a used laptop that can run 10 to make sure it can keep up with security updates. I don’t even know if it is powerful enough to run 11 because I didn’t even consider the possibility when I bought it. Now we’re going to have to buy a new one in a couple of years?
