Watching SINNERS again. The big central musical sequence *alone* is the best picture of the year and should win every major award, never mind the other fantastic two hours and change. This flick taking it all should be a forgone conclusion...

Well, it happened, saw my first job post for ‘editor’ where the ‘job’ entails ‘using AI to generate shots, revise them, then do the editing’. They want us to use slop to DO IT ALL and to add insult to injury, AT THE SAME WAGES...

I really hope the Oscar predictions I’m seeing are wrong, because if Ryan Coogler doesn’t win Best Director we should probably scrap this whole “awards show” concept.

Was trying to remember a Will Forte quote from Tim & Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie and accidentally figured out how to make Google’s AI tool shut up

We know President Trump watches Hannity. Will he take Fox News political strategist Caroline Sunshine's advice and challenge Stephen Colbert to have him on 'The Late Show'? "Based on Colbert's response, we'll find out who's silencing who," she says.

every shot-on-video, made-with-a-camcorder horror movie that's just some teenage friend group fucking around in the woods with some fake blood and a monster mask contains more artistic merit, human joy and creative light than anything AI has ever made or will ever, ever make

Hard disagree. It very clearly has that scene where they give the Simmons character golden lighting and a hero shot while he says ‘the worst thing you can say is good job’ as if it was some huge pearl of wisdom and not a SCIENTIFICALLY proven fallacy. Flick is very much pro-toxicity...

Lately I've seen a few things that make me think other people took different things away from the movie "Whiplash" than I did.
Like, the movie isn't simply *against* obsessive training for excellence and cruel teaching to bring it out, but it sure isn't simply *for* them either.

We've now been doing AI hype for 3-4 years and they're still faking the quality of the outputs of their video generators. A flagrant con job pulled on the internet and everyone who shared this video.
And after all that, the Pitt/Cruise AI fight scene appears to have been just digital BG and face replacement on multi-angle green screen reference videos of two real live human stuntees fighting.
In other words, like most AI hype — it was a con. www.shokunin.studio/blog/2026/2/...

Oh, and of course, how could I forget WHIPLASH. That evil EVIL fucken’ movie. Tho thankfully I saw it at home so others didn’t have to see me seething in rage at a movie that doesn’t understand a lick about jazz or music-making and presents toxicity as aspirational...

fun question: what’s the maddest you’ve ever been leaving a movie theater? not necessarily worst movie you’ve seen, but the one that just pissed you off the most. mine is Batman v Superman

Started watching THE WHOLE BLOOD AFFAIR. For some reason, I thought this was some kinda re-edit but half an hour in it’s all the same (except for the title card). Is this just the two movies back to back with the animated thing thrown in between?
