The people who invented this technology make a lot of noise about its revolutionary potential but they clearly just wanted an ass-kissing machine. This is what happens when you build a robot to tell you that you’re right
Uh… check out what ChatGPT allegedly told a man before he killed his mother and then himself.

Name me one movie that passes the Bechamel Test (contains at least one scene in which two women have a conversation about something other than a parmo)

Every year, I make a topical Christmas card. This year, I was inspired by @realgdt.bsky.social's Frankenstein.
Snow? Log fires? Navigating complicated family dynamics? Sounds like a Christmas film to me.
Wishing you all the very best, this festive period.

Me, any time someone refers to the creature in #ITWelcomeToDerry as an "it":
a man in a yellow shirt is sitting in a chair pointing at something
Alt: Leonardo DiCaprio as Rick Dalton in 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood', pointing excitedly towards a television.

My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock it… you’re still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope you’ll do.

It's a minor complaint, but I wish John Williams' original score featured more in James Gunn's Superman.
However, the fact that it complements scenes like this warms my heart; that heroic optimism that I love shines through.
