People are so incredibly mean to this woman because she actually had to live through the consequences of their favourite theocracy and didn’t say it was epic wholesome chungus.
the journey you go through as an x-men fan is you start out thinking Wolverine is the coolest, then you resent him because he frequently overshadows the rest of the team and then you realise he really is that cool
Dem Sen. Whitehouse says he’s “not impressed” by the allegations against Graham Platner in the latest NYT report.
“Seems like a lot of nothing. I mean, the only one who had anything to say that seemed ‘unsettling’ was a woman who works for right-wing political operations.”
The fact that a superhero director is showing more artistic integrity in the face of tech bros trying to colonize our artform should be a permanent blight on Scorsese's career until he works to undo that harm
Hollywood’s creative class is *expectedly warming up to the idea of *lining their own pockets, not pushing the medium forward. This isn’t about innovation, this is a class dispute. Leave it to Variety to try and manufacture consent. No one is being fooled.
to me vader has the vibe of like, a high-ranking party member in a one-party state. his formal powers are minimal but everyone knows he's a big deal and you need to stay on his good side
Kane being interviewed asked about gen AI during an interview for the film basically confirmed for me that the AI readings ppl have had for the film are 100% intentional
Not gonna defend his AI use, but I hate seeing people dismiss Scorsese as a guy who only makes mob movies. Setting aside the fact that he's a remarkably versatile director, his crime films constitute one of the most visceral and sophisticated analyses of American capitalism
the Marty Scorsese AI thing really just underscores how much this issue really is 100% becoming a generational divide. the Olds are living in an infoscape that totally celebrates AI as an advancement. they think the young naysayers are just a loud minority being overly critical
cannot stress enough how disappointing it is that Martin Scorsese is collaborating with an AI company and putting a stain on his name so late in his life and career. he is like the last person i’d expect this from
Three volumes of Morrison's Batman summed up in three panels: a precocious child's attempt to discern meaningful patterns in an objectively meaningless world. The mystery isn't unveiling some mastermind's plot; it's learning how to make something from cruel, random nothing.
When will people understand that this predatory pricing model will always be true of anything coming out of Silicon Valley? It is literally their only model. 1. Operate at a loss so everyone signs up 2. Wipe out competitors 3. Slam users with profane monopolistic costs
