Exactly! I was at a bar once, the only woman in my group, & I heard a woman yelling “I don’t want to go with you!” I was the only person who stepped up to intervene & call the cops. But when it was settled, ofc they all “had my back”.

... my bus was suddenly *full* of men who'd been just about to help me. They'd been going to knock his lights out. They were going to do this and they were going to do that... And I shouldn't have done anything - it was my fault for (checks notes) - asking drunk douche to leave a woman alone...

I like Mondays because my husband runs on weekdays. All the way to the taco carts in Centro, then walks back home with a tray of taquitos for my lunch!

I’m loving this rewrite!

Leah from South Dakota@leahfromsd.bsky.social · 2w ago

This script honestly started as a killer robot story, then I hit page 60 and realized how boring and overdone that was. So I did a page one rewrite of something earnest and vulnerable about how we fully heal from loss and the power of sexual fulfillment in a relationship. #Scriptsky #Screenpit

you cannot defeat fascism by ceding anyone’s bodily autonomy.

bubbe yaga@ellearmageddon.bsky.social · 3y ago

just a periodic reminder that sex worker rights, trans rights, and abortion rights are all the same issue. you’re either for bodily autonomy, or you’re against it.

There’s gotta be an ISA glitch, ain’t no way I’m in consideration for 6 projects- along with the rest of y’all. (Not to be discouraging, just seems…odd)

Hey #scriptsky Just a totally random thought but maybe don’t be an arrogant jerk about someone else’s accomplishments. It’s a terrible look.

GDT's reddit AMA spitting fire www.reddit.com/r/movies/com...

reddit comment:

Hello! Did you intend the ending of Pan’s labyrinth to be real or in Ofelia’s mind?

Guillermo Del Toro's reply:

My interpretation, and it's exclusively mine, is that it's real.

Because there's two things. One is what people call “The Shining Question.” The Shining Question is, Who opens the door for Jack to get out of the fridge? And Ofelia is in an attic with a guard outside her door, and she draws the door with the magic chalk, and she shows up in the labyrinth. So, the only way she could have gone into the labyrinth is the magic chalk. And the flower is real at the end. The flower that blooms in the dead tree. And the reason I think it’s real is because—and this is why I'm in favor of the human factor in art—I think that art does transform the world. You know?

Think about it for a second. One of the goals, with all this movement, is to make you believe that art is vulgar. That art is nothing special, and anybody can do art. That is like me telling you that I'm faster at running than Usain Bolt but I “run” in my motorcycle. Well, that's not the same. That’s not the same at all.

Art is important, and they want you to believe it isn't. It's part of the idea of control. The goal is not to have artificial intelligence. The goal is to foster natural stupidity. The goal is to foster you not looking for answers, and to trust yourself entirely to an engine. Look at the way we are dipping our toes into these things. We are starting to ask the machine, Is this true? For now, there's a correlation between reality and what the answers of the machine are. For now. But soon, we won't even investigate further. We will be told it's true. And if the machine is in the hands of somebody who should not be trusted, then your reality has been completely and utterly fucked. Because your intelligence ends at the question. You don't seek the answer. It's given to you.

Q: You recently mentioned that AI creates 'semi-compelling screensavers' and that you'd 'rather die' than use it. As a filmmaker who relies heavily on practical effects and creature design, what do you think is the biggest thing lost when a computer generates an image instead of a human hand?

GDT:

The three quarters of the process that gave you the chance to think of the idea that people don't think about without that process. Meaning, AI can get you to the middle really fast, but there's a dialectic with the process that gets you to that top 10%. I'll give you an example with the Pale Man.

We sculpted it as an old man, with a face. And then I said, Let's take out the face. This happened because I saw a photo of a manta ray and the poster for Don Coscarelli’s Phantasm. That combination, which happened at two different times during a week or a month, are not permutations that are chemically part of an equation. They are alchemy. And then I said, Take out the face, and then I said, Let's put the eyes on the hands. This triangulation happens because I spent a month or two months living with the idea of this creature. And it's not linear.

AI is like a super-fast engine that makes semi-sentient permutations of things that are already done. Creation is things that have never been done. Coming to exist.

And the second thing is the loss of the apprenticeship that one has as an artist. You're never a master; you're always an apprentice. This is a kinship I have with, for example, Chris Nolan. When he showed me The Odyssey, there’s a scene when Matt Damon is floating in the stormy ocean and I asked him—because we were talking about practical effects, and how great it is and that we both always use a maquette or a model—and I asked him, How did you do it? He said, “We put him in a storm in the ocean.”

And you're gonna find that 30% of a great image occurs accidentally. You know, either a drop of water hits the lens, or the camera shakes. I remember when in 1993, '94, Jim…
