The suggestion that United 93 isn’t a great movie is insane
The Hollywood Reporter@thr.com · 24h agoThere has never been a great film about September 11, 2001. There should be. For 25 years, artists and audiences have been processing the attacks onscreen. But something is still missing.
Happy faraway high-angle photos of movie casts on the TIFF stage season to you and yours.
Sorry it just occurred to me that there may be people who haven’t seen clip from the Quibi show where Rachel Brosnahan plays a woman dying because of her golden prosthetic arm and I needed to fix that
Rodger Sherman@rodger.bsky.social · last wk.You cannot kill Quibi, unlike Rachel Brosnahan’s character in the Quibi show about a woman with a golden arm
Everyone in the world except for two people seem to understand how this should work/be produced. But those two people are the executive producers of the show, and year after year they are determined to make the shittiest possible version of #BB28

Really enjoying the choice to yada yada the current season so we can go all in on nostalgia for episode #1000. “These three are in the blockbuster and blah blah blah we’ll see that later, NOW, who wants to see Janelle?!?!” #BB28

Oh we ate good tonight #BB28 (Famous last words before someone I hate wins HOH tonight, but for at least now, something interesting happened!)
Writing fiction in any genre should be a purely human exercise. If you use AI to generate *any* dialog, story ideas, character shapes, *anything* creative, you're betraying the very concept of artistic expression. This is a bright flashing red line for me. www.wired.com/story/the-bi...

There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.

I actually think the trillionaire saying his AI tool will remake a movie without the Black and trans actors in it should be a bigger story because it’s a perfect example of why the ruling class wants AI to succeed: so they can remake reality without those they deem undesirable - every nazi’s dream.
Every year Big Brother produces 10-12 of the worst hours of live television ever. And every year we try to tell the producers "you know you gotta make your show not suck by doing pretty much anything other than what you're doing". Yet every year, all involved just, like, watch it happen lol #BB28

I talk to a lot of young wannabe writers and look at their stuff, and they often have a really detailed world and paper-thin characters and stories. And, like, that _can_ work, but it's a lot harder than starting from the character or story and working your way outward.
It actually seems to me that no one has to do shit with and/or for the losers who are being left in the trash can of failed history?

Don't really appreciate a guy on #TheFloor who doesn't look older than 28 saying he was on "season 2" of The Mole, as if the ABC years didn't count.
