My new short story (horror), should you find yourself in the mood to read one.

@DannyDrinksWine Love it. And there are compositions in Murnau's Faust that, for me, beat Metropolis for scale and wonder.

@nomadic_andres Our modern anxieties have just evolved…

I can’t wait til someone sees all this Tarkovsky + AI stuff and runs out to their local Blockbuster, shoves Mirror into their VCR, and loses all their friends.

[Ewan Morrison @MrEwanMorrison]

This is gross copyright infringement.
Tarkovsky's films are in copyright until December 29, 2056. Mosfilm and the Tarkovsky estate might want to prosecute - as this AI company is altering Tarkovsky footage without consent and using it to sell their own AI graphics product.

@fellawhomstdve Do it, fellow stranger! This is how we go out fighting! Hand to eye to brain and back again a thousand times.

@claudiahh Aw, we're just worried that literary authors will start to go hungrier

This brief thread is important, and @Darren_Mooney shows how one can transcend one's own preferences and taste in an effort to defend the deeper aesthetic principles which make art, film, and literature so essential to our humanity and our understanding.

[Darren Mooney @Darren_Mooney]

Here's the thing.

The stillness of Tarkovsky's images is essential to his filmmaking. He wrote about the importance of stillness and time in his movies. He described filmmaking as "sculpting in time."

These movements are antithetical to the entire point of a Tarkovsky film.

@rompolyglot @AgentUrbana @IneluctableQuak You're both right, and I'll happily admit that I lost my own thread due to a growing enthusiasm as the sentence built to its unforeseen conclusion, but I genuinely didn't think that typing [joy/terror/lapetitemort/despair/fury/agony/etc] would be a very pleasant way to end it.

Guys, I know I probably shouldn't be using the word "liminal" in a passage about a car losing control, but come on, InDesign, it's an actual word.

@voronacharsky A thousand dead typographers just kerned a little. Well done.

I love Lynch, he's been one of my cinematic inspirations for almost 30 years, but Godard isn't wrong. "And yet the image has disappeared" speaks volumes because seeing is critical to any apprehension of cinema. Without image, there is only music, rhythm, time, feeling. Lynch shimmers.
