PM in film, Vancouver & Toronto, hi!
My biggest issue these days is dim projections 50% of the time. Big chains, big auditoriums and yet whites that are grayish silver and the lower 30% are just black.
I've tried to stick with laser projections and IMAX, but that only covers 20% of the movies I'm interested in.

Thankful that yesterday's screening had good brightness! I was really worried after so many disappointing theater experiences these days

He's so haunted and vampiric! I thought the poster was a bit cheaply exaggerated, but no, he looks like that in the show. I loved it. Also: the camera work is beautiful.

That's not what Brooks wrote though. Brooks writes in third person - conservatives say.. and then follows up with his explanation afterwards (not books, but a failure to create a more equal & plural America)

I just read the Brooks piece and that's in third person. Brooks is quoting others, and follows up with a different explanation himself. I loved the article, but that leaves a bit of a sour taste.

I work in Film, and on my first PA gig, when asked to grab an apple box, I tried to sort out a car to get to the grocery store stat. (And I think it’s actually a pretty common story!)

Didn’t the judge differentiate between training (internal use) and publishing/profiting from the models though? I thought whilst training was answered, selling models based on copywrited work wasn't.

But also: that riff is just mind-bogglingly good. And with those exact drums: perfect. Nasty, pushing forward, and yet just a bit off-kilter.

I agree, I think it’s a leap similar to CLI -> GUI/mouse. Going from current input models to language is huge. I know, things go off the rails often, but today I was following along Gemini looking up documentation & doing math on the final hight of a frame tv mounted to a rolling stand and it was 🔥.

This is really lovely. Thanks for sharing, and lucky you!

Love it heaps, though I wish I could disable hdr. Too much brightness feels like a loss in observable nuance to me. Oh, and my usual plug for ProCamera - allows for the granular disabling of processing steps, and has a lovely slide to focus tool. It's the best.

I saw that when it came out at the movies! At 16. Mind blown 😊🙃. I love Greenaway so much. From the same era: have you seen Leolo?

I can also see the rude version: people lecturing you on something they believe you're doing wrong. Imagine someone saying: I'm not ok with nudity, or I'm not ok with same sex couples. Those people I'd ignore though, they're just imposing their worldview on everybody else. They suck!
