Complaining about realism in Movies is the domain of cowards. People are so scared of having to defend their opinions, they retreat into this pseudo-objective nonsense.

People want everything to be a binary between dooming and “we’re so back” but I’ll just say this is both a really troubling attack on press freedom and an open admission that your regime is fragile enough to feel threatened by Jimmy fucking Kimmel

ai video isn't a silly tool, it's not something that's going to make your life easier, and increasingly it doesn't seem to be a fad
it's sinister shit being propped up by massive tech companies with a vested interest in manipulating visual and viral reality.
there are no benign use cases for it.

from 1: if you are called an insult to life itself, become an insult to life itself
from 2: accomplish this by reducing an iconic mass media style with associations of humanity and care to insult the auteur behind it

they have done this with the ghibli style, i would wager, specifically because of miyazaki's comments about ai. two aspects:
1. the playbook for the Modern Nemeses says: when someone critiques you, lean into the thing you're being critiqued for
2. make it clear that this tech is for stealing brands

The official, legal ruling of The Supreme Court is that we should eat shit and die.
The Supreme Court's first and only opinion today is San Francisco v. EPA. The majority substantially weakens the Clean Water Act's limitations on raw sewage discharge. It is 5–4 in relevant part, with Barrett, Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson dissenting. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Stop talking about how boys need positive male role models. They actually need higher quality negative role models.

stop fucking recommending earthsea as an alternative to harry potter. the only alternative to harry potter is learning to let go of things you loved as a younger person and take joy in things that appeal to your adult palette in a way you could never have appreciated when you were younger

I’ve secretly believed for years that I’m cult-proof. I think I’m just smart enough to not fall for a the super-obvious scams, but when I start to be convinced by some kooky idea, I remember that I’m dumb as hell, and if a moron like me is buying it, there’s probably a catch.

Maybe I’m just dumb, but it seems to me that when a program could take a rich person’s job they call it an algorithm, but when it could take a poor person’s job, they call it AI.

Gonna state this for the record: I enjoyed The Holdovers quite a bit, but if/when it wins best picture, I will turn on it instantaneously.

“Should May December be categorized as a comedy” is a boring question. “Why does this movie about an abusive relationship have jokes” actually gets to the heart of what the movie is trying to say.

Watching a movie from a director i like: i must know every detail of his process. How did he do this lighting setup. How much did he rehearse. What was left out in post production
Listening to an album from a band i like: when the guitars do that buzzy thing it makes my tummy go woooow

I believed that Blair Witch was a real documentary at the time, but I was 7 years old and very stupid, so I’m not sure how adults fell for it.

I think that if J.K. Rowling had completely retired from public life around 2012, and we had no idea what her politics were, it would still be embarrassing to be a Harry Potter fan in 2023.
