if I ever taught film criticism lesson one would be “you being smarter than the movie is not interesting to anyone”

And more 'historically accurate'

He always did like directing from his chair sipping a coffee, so writing “prompts” all day on his butt probably feels perfect for George.

As Hollywood and audiences wrestle with the impact of AI, George Lucas has said rejecting using the technology to make movies is like rejecting cars in favor of horses, calling it "the future.” https://bit.ly/4bec7UP

Me at the A24 board meeting: We’ve got a brand beloved by young hip people and cinefiles, basically synonymous with “good taste” and “artistic vision,” in a time where both are hard to come by. What if we flushed that in the fucking toilet for a bit of money?

A24 is collaborating with Google DeepMind as AI companies are deepening their ties to Hollywood—and struggling with a crisis of taste. We asked the studio about the backlash: www.wired.com/story/a24-kn...

Season finale episode goes up tomorrow night!

Spielberg claims he’s become even more of a believer in aliens since the UAP hearings in 2023. Is he really though? I have trouble squaring that circle when he made another fictional film about them. If he truly believed in his heart of hearts, I just wonder if he would have made a doc instead.

🎧 NEW EPISODE: Bloodsport Kumite! Kumite! Kumite! David Rae of @quantumkickflip.bsky.social returns to the show to Dux it out with Bloodsport. We cast aside an unnecessary military subplot while making the family ties to the tournament much more explicit. www.ihavesomenotes.com/e/bloodsport/

Why would anyone watch this? What makes art interesting is that human hands created it, used their skills, made choices and presented a vision. The biggest issue with AI art aside from the rampant theft is that it isn’t interesting.

Lionsgate has taken an equity stake in AI company Runway They're now going to make AI-generated short-form shows with some of their franchises

DISCLOSURE DAY: There are camera moves in this film that are mind-blowingly cool and show that Spielberg is still one of the greatest to ever do it. As for the rest: Emily Blunt is phenomenal, but the story has an extremely quaint conception of how the idea of aliens would be received by the public

It's official, our season finale will be DISCLOSURE DAY!

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.

Whatever your thoughts about The Boys' finale, it made Elon Musk mad, which the show's creator and cast think is hilarious.
