any time something bad happens to AI I feel a warmth bloom in my chest that is not comparable to any human experience but I suspect might be similar to what a pokemon feels when they evolve via Sun Stone

Christopher Nolan doesn’t like streaming being touted as the innovation of cinema.
“We’re not a tech company. The innovation in our industry has always been and should always be what goes on the screen, not what the screen is.”
these aren’t arthouse films ❤️
just films, of a few different genres, that didn’t cost $250m to make
hope this helps!
Arthouse films that have exceeded $20 million domestically in 2024:
- “Conclave” ($26.5 million)
- “Longlegs” ($74 million)

- “Terrifier 3” ($53 million)

Didn’t expect Ben Affleck to have the most articulate and realistic explanation where video models and Hollywood is going

This is always what it was going to be used for btw. It’s not some great equalizer. It’s a way for already massively wealthy execs to add a few more mil to their annual bonuses by cutting creative teams entirely & having a machine vomit up the most boring slop imaginable instead

And an extra 👎 for using underrepresented writers as an attempted shield from criticism. AI can’t appreciate an original voice or tone, it only rewards the familiar.
EXCLUSIVE: A new AI-powered platform called Wscripted+ has launched and its founders claim it will provide the industry with a fresh way to submit and review scripts.
“This is ethical AI and will boost female & underrepresented writers” said the founder

“With John Hughes, IP was a girl turning 16. Life situations.”
Perfect summation of what’s wrong with the current state of the movie business.

there’s an ad playing during the olympics where a little girl wants to use ai to write a letter to her favorite athlete and…….. does that not take 99% of the ethos and feeling out of one of the most heartfelt concepts known to man? jfc

It really feels like the last 10 years has been totally defined by finance & tech guys arrogantly believing they can do everything better and then totally failing upwards as they collect their bonuses and saddle us with higher costs for broken versions of the same shit we had.

Creativity does not mesh well with capitalism. Creativity does not always mean the product will sell. Being creative takes too much time. Tech corporations think people don't mind homogenization and will gladly consume the same junk every day. Prove them wrong, don't buy slop.
