Dere som har sett Odysseen, hvor egna passende/upassende er den for en ti og tolv-åringer? Føler meg ganske trygg på at eldstemann vil kose seg, mer usikker på lillebroren.

Every piece of post-production software is now riddled with tools that are labelled as AI and every editor largely knows it's bullshit. Stabilization, something that used to just be about anaylizing movement and autocompensating for camera shake and existed before AI is now called an AI process.

Resolve AI functions that are not AI.

there's a long, honorable tradition of thinking christopher nolan movies are mostly bird brained and i won't let the right degrade it by latching onto the odyssey as johnny-hater-come-latelys

The last year I applied for three research grants and six positions. I got three interviews and was the «first runner-up» for all of them. Not even on the shortlist for the other three. Two grants did not go through and if the final one does, the money will go to a university I’m no longer at.

And that is why nobody releases a Norwegian movie in Norway during the summer. Toy Story 5 opened with 27,000 admissions - the 10th biggest opening of the year so far and less than 1/10th of what Super Mario Galaxy opened to in April.

Musikkfestivaler kan være så mangt, og til helgen, i Oslo og Moss, arrangeres to eksempler på at det går an å tenke ganske annerledes, fra topp til tå. Begge kan i og for seg bære den trauste merkelappen "rockefestivaler" - men de er vidunderlig eksentriske varianter. Her er en liten tråd om dem:

31 years ago I first started editing video, 26 years ago I started film studies, 11 years ago I began working in academia and this weekend I published my first scholarly video essay. It had to be about Blade Runner.
