DiscussingFilm@discussingfilm.net · 19h agoEli Roth confirms that generative AI was used in his new horror film ‘ICE CREAM MAN’. “It was an opportunity where technology and creativity came together to help bring my vision for the film to life.” (Source: www.polygon.com/eli-roth-ice...)
I’m in Post Editorial & while I’ve heard of certain shots in VFX being done w/ it (tho always mentioned with an eyeroll and/or derogatory reaction), no one’s pressuring me to use AI anything. Whether intentionally or not, Belloni’s just carrying water for the “inevitability” nonsense.
Nate Federman@natefederman.bsky.social · yesterdayNot everyone’s doing it. Mike isn’t. I’m not. My writers’ room is not. In fact, I only know of 1 writer who admits to using AI to brainstorm with. Some undoubtedly use it. But clickbait headlines like this create a permission structure for more to do so. You don’t have to and you shouldn’t.
MIDNIGHT RUN (1988) screens at 7:30pm tonight & tomorrow, Tuesday & Wednesday August 4th & 5th, on a 35mm double bill with 48 HRS. (1982) at 10:05pm.

lmao, what is this trash? Nothing says I’m a smart, capable guy like whining about things in an op/ed piece.

I really hope that all of the people in my feeds who rail against gen-AI flyer art (and rightfully so) and are also horror fans, don’t fall prey to Ice Cream Man now that the reviews are pointing to its abundance of AI effects. Don’t be a contradiction, speak with your wallets here.

Okay, I am going to tell a little story. It's one I have saved for the last couple years, almost nobody knows about it. But it lives in my heart. I don't know how others will feel about it, maybe something, maybe nothing. It's about the Uncanny X-Men. 1/

Our flight from Seattle to Sacramento was delayed by a few hours last night, but we were rewarded with an epic sunset on Tahoma (Rainier) as it poked through the low stratus layer. The pastel peach backdrop was made possible by the horrific wildfire smoke from all the PNW fires.
Based on MLB Pipeline rankings, the Dodgers gave up only their 5th, 7th, and 17th best prospects for Skubal. Plus, they'll pay him roughly $11 million. Other teams were gutless, that's all it is.
Today in 2022, the great Vin Scully passed away at the age of 94. Vin was the voice of the Dodgers for 67 years and though he retired in 2016, it still felt like he was an enormous part of our lives. Not too often someone can mean that much to so many. Miss that man dearly.
Hear me out: who else could the Dodgers get at the deadline?
If the Wonder Man S2 writers’ room was supposed to start this month (per the showrunner), that means those writers accepted a job in good faith only to see it get snatched out from under them at the last minute

I am begging you not to believe gazillionaire baseball owners when they tell you Skubal going to the Dodgers means we need a salary cap. Competitive balance is not the reason they want a salary cap. They just want to spend less, and with more predictability, on total payroll. That is all.
I finally saw Alex Cox’s WALKER. First of all, absolute LOL at Siskel & Ebert *each* giving it 0 stars. What a searing indictment of US imperialism in Central America, a subject which never goes out of style (as the film itself makes very clear). Great double feature w/PREDATOR or AGUIRRE.

If you have any understanding of the subject, you not only don't need to use LLMs/genAI, you would just be creating more work for yourself by using one. The same is true for people who don't have any understanding of the subject; they are just unable to recognize it.
I am a bit sad about bsky being much smaller than Old Twitter because of reach. I basically want to say “hey if you know anyone in the Bay Area with a line on funding that isn’t tied up in LLMs (or even just really interesting people!) who I should chat to in the next uhhh few weeks let me know”
Y’all, Ken is a great guy and funny as hell. Go buy his latest book! And if you’re in LA on August 12, go to his book signing!

LA, come see one of the great seduction scenes in all of cinema, on the big screen. Cut by one of the best to ever do it; the lady who gave us the Lawrence of Arabia Match Cut; Anne V. Coates. Rarely have two actors smouldered like Clooney and J.Lo do here. www.academymuseum.org/programs/det...
