Some of what I have learned from bopping around indie projects, my friend and I doing these weekly movie watches and in my own daily work is distribution does not equal control or even production involvement. Is this correct?
Saw a post suggesting that Oz Perkins should “leave NEON” so that he’s freer to make the kinds of movies he wants.
Did you know NEON distributed the last three Perkins movies, not financed them? Do you know what an acquisition is? If yes, yay! If not, read next post.

I saw a random reddit comment where someone theorized that Pennywise and Mary Poppins were the same species of primordial psychic entity, but Pennywise feeds on fear while Poppins feeds on joy. both of them eat kid emotions because fear and joy are more intense in kids. This is Canon for me now.

Maldives eliminates mother-to-child transmission of HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B. No babies were born with HIV or syphilis in 2022–23, and hepatitis B has vanished among children. The WHO is calling it a “triple elimination,” the world’s first of its kind. buff.ly/lH7h3BW

Listen to me. Listen. If you're making images that will only be displayed on screens, YOU HAVE TO LET GO. You can calibrate your screens perfectly, but then 25k people will see it on their shitty $50 monitors or cracked phone and its out of your hands. Don't think of it. Achieve enlightenment.

I’m no movie art expert, but the thing that always grabbed me about Drew Struzan’s art was that the figures in his work always looked like they were made of light. (Yeah yeah, “luminous beings.”)
It’s a quality that, of course, maps to movie imagery so perfectly.

One of the chief problems corporations have with using AI for enterprise automation software is that it isn't accurate or reliable enough to replace many tasks and jobs. This isn't an issue management tends to have with creative content, especially visual art or design.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.
These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.
