Avatar: Fire and Ash no trae nada nuevo a la mesa. Cameron se conforma con recorrer espacios comunes que ya fueron explorados en los dos filmes anteriores, produciendo una secuela que se siente repetitiva y que -de ser el final- llega a conclusiones dramáticamente insatisfactorias.
"Avatar: Fire and Ash" debería ser el final
Independientemente de lo que le depare el futuro a la serie cinematográfica, la tercera entrega deja entrever que quizás el mundo de Pandora no tenga mucho más que ofrecer.

Woke up and rewatched The Princess Bride.
Stand By Me played during lunch.
I intend to watch When Harry Met Sally or This is Spinal Tap before going to bed. Heck, might even watch both. This man was a master of the 90 min running time.
Thank your Mr. Reiner for so much joy.

Here's JRR Tolkien on today's Time Magazine People of the Year and Disney's deal with OpenAI
![from a letter by JRR Tolkien to his son Michael:
[here is] the tragedy and despair of all machinery laid bare. Unlike art which is content to create a new secondary world in the mind, it attempts to actualize desire, and so to create power in this World; and that cannot really be done with any real satisfaction. Labour-saving machinery only creates endless and worse labour. And in addition to this fundamental disability of a creature, is added the Fall, which makes our devices not only fail of their desire but turn to new and horrible evil. So we come inevitably from Daedalus and Icarus to the Giant Bomber. It is not an advance in wisdom! This terrible truth, glimpsed long ago by Sam Butler, sticks out so plainly and is so horrifyingly exhibited in our time, with its even worse menace for the future, that it seems almost a world wide mental disease that only a tiny minority perceive it. Even if people have ever heard the legends (which is getting rarer) they have no inkling of their portent. How could a maker of motorbikes name his product Ixion cycles! Ixion, who was bound for ever in hell on a perpetually revolving wheel! Well, I have got over 2 thousand words onto this little flimsy airletter; and I will forgive the Mordor-gadgets some of their sins, if they will bring it quickly to you](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:eawrzkefxggvqbrmagkhsmcc/bafkreiehclqi7gi5ioox33zjtsvsk3aid326opn3ix6a2cadj3morubefq@jpeg)

So I find this very interesting, because a good commercial would tie these terrible things happening to being made happy via mcdonalds, but because GenAI can't make the same person twice you just get shots of terrible things happening and shots of people in McDonalds with no connection between them
McDonald's has released an AI-generated Christmas ad
The studio behind it says they 'hardly slept' for several weeks while writing AI prompts and refining the shots — 'AI didn't make this film. We did'
