I'm just here for the shits and giggles

[Mashley at the Movies 🏳️‍🌈 @mashleymovies]

Netflix when trying to buy WB: ‘We are committed to the theatrical experience.’

Netflix now: ‘Don’t even step to us about having your movie released theatrically. If that’s your game, then just keep on walking.’

[The Artist Formally Known As Nobody @FormallyGuy]

This kind of shit killed professional wrestling. Don't let it happen to film.

[The Artist Formally Known As Nobody @FormallyGuy]

Good. Monopolies are terrible.

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

A group of U.S. states, including California and New York, are preparing to file a lawsuit to block Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros.

Or you could write a review an articulate your thoughts?

[Willie @wllottnwldr]

I love movies.
I hate the 5 star rating system.

One number can’t capture why a movie worked (or didn’t). Was the story gripping but the direction flat? Did the sound design carry it when the acting didn’t? A single star rating flattens all of that. It doesn’t help that written reviews are legitimately just jokes for likes nowadays.

That’s why I’m building Screenjudge.

A community powered platform where every movie gets rated across five dimensions: Story, Acting, Visuals, Sound, and Direction (0-10 each with half steps). The overall score is the average, but the real value comes from the breakdown. It sparks better conversations and feeds a recommendation engine that actually gets you and your taste for movies.

Built for people who ever wished ratings could be more honest, more useful, and more fun… this is it.

Screenjudge is live and growing.
200+ users.
800+ movies.
1200+ ratings.

Join today to judge movies 🍿

I hope this thing makes billions just to piss you all off. Also, I'm so in for this one. Hope ot slaps.

[Variety @Variety]

Christopher Nolan's #TheOdyssey is officially rated R.

The movie carries a reported budget of $250 million, making it perhaps the most expensive R-rated movie in history (topping the likes of “Joker: Folie à Deux” and “Deadpool & Wolverine”).

Can we stop pretending he isn't one of the great artists of our time? He is. He's also betrayed everything he stood for by endorsing AI. Two things can be true. Jesus Fuck!

[os @mutsu00000]

I liked Scorsese as a teenager, but after that, he’s really close to nothing. I can’t stomach the insipid voiceovers that hold your hand through a 3 hour film. It’s not about the AI business. We already know he worships money and celebrity. At this point, he’s just a nuisance.

[The Artist Formally Known As Nobody @FormallyGuy]

I am just as mad about Scorsese's AI move as much as the next person. Can we not pretend his other movies suck, please? Raging Bull is a masterpiece. He has many of them.

[derek @derpo377]

Raging Bull is basically qualityslop

[The Artist Formally Known As Nobody @FormallyGuy]

Anyone who says AI has any uses in the artistic realm is a fraud and I immediately lose respect for you.

[Culture Crave 🍿 @CultureCrave]

'Backrooms' director Kane Parsons isn't a fan of generative AI

"If I could snap my fingers and make generative AI disappear forever, I probably would"

"Creatively, I get no enjoyment from using those tools. It defeats the purpose entirely for me"

He thinks there may be uses in tedious VFX labor 'but right now it's difficult to discuss objectively because there's so much at stake and so many genuinely harmful consequences already happening"

Traitor

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Martin Scorsese has joined a generative AI startup as a partner and advisor.

He adds that he has used AI during pre-production to help with storyboarding — “with this tool, I can share what I’m visualizing more clearly & efficiently to my creative team — the production designer, art designer and cinematographer.”

When he made that video, I was mystified. A critic refusing to critique something is like soap that won't wash you. That's just ludicrous.

[The Artist Formally Known As Nobody @FormallyGuy]

I don't care if the films are bad. First time directors often shell out underwhelming work. Kubrick's first two were pretty blah. But unlike Chris Stuckmann, I'll say so.

[Duhlorean @Duhlorean98]

Noticing how it’s the YouTuber critics who try their hand at films (features and shorts) that end up with bad results.

[The Artist Formally Known As Nobody @FormallyGuy]

This is literal bullshit and Israel is still treated as a sacred entity in the West. Such asinine worship of a government.

[Popstonox @Popstonox]

Hasan Piker confirms his UK visa has been revoked after pressure from pro-Israel groups

He was scheduled to speak at the Oxford Union, SXSW London, and to interview Yanis Varoufakis

[The Artist Formally Known As Nobody @FormallyGuy]

@thamosdeaf I like Escape From New York, but it isn't Carpenter's best. The lack of budget let it down. I hope Snyder can do something cool with it.

[The Artist Formally Known As Nobody @FormallyGuy]

But it was progressive. It is too limited in many capacities and has given rise to oligarchies and boom or bust cycles, but it has aided in advancement of technology, and thus, production. These are facts. I can acknowledge it and still oppose capitalism. Which I do.

[🔻Commie-sama ☭ @magikarp424]

The idea that capitalism is historically progressive (in any sense beyond literal productive capacity) is inherently chauvinistic

[The Artist Formally Known As Nobody @FormallyGuy]

While I don't think this is necessary, and if it's just dumped on Netflix, I'll be pissed; but I'm not mad Snyder is making it. I'm really not.

[Culture Crave 🍿 @CultureCrave]

Zack Snyder is set to write and direct a new adaptation of ‘Escape From New York’ 🗽

[The Artist Formally Known As Nobody @FormallyGuy]

@NewJohnPACity You'd think they'd go the extra mile to make something good for the cinemas. But no, they had to waste our time with this painfully average thing.

[The Artist Formally Known As Nobody @FormallyGuy]

This is so untrue it's painful. People still love and champion that thing. Are you real?

[PJ @PJ11819211]

The Dark Knight really did completely fade out of the public zeitgeist huh, no one even references Heath Ledger's Joker anymore.

[The Artist Formally Known As Nobody @FormallyGuy]

Now you're just talking foolish.

[Stephen Gibbons @Gibboanxious]

The Deer Hunter is NOT better than Full Metal Jacket

[The Artist Formally Known As Nobody @FormallyGuy]

Pretending AI is the same as CGI tells me everything I need to know about you.

[Canonfire @Canonfire_]

"All art is based on technology."

George Lucas, one of the great visionaries in film, said it. Cave paintings, film, digital... now AI. Every wave is the same impulse with a different tool. New tools open new stories. He calls it "freeing the medium." Freedom is art's destiny.

[The Artist Formally Known As Nobody @FormallyGuy]

For the record, I do not support what China is doing.

[The Artist Formally Known As Nobody @FormallyGuy]

Fascinatinf contradiction. You deny the genocide in Gaza, but support Taiwan's self-determination. This is a terrible point. China has not invaded Taiwan yet. Israel has bombed Gaza and the West Bank.

[ShitlibSupreme 🇺🇦 🇹🇼 @ShitlibSupreme]

Trying to explain imperialism to a Leftist:

"So imagine Taiwan was Palestine and China was Israel"
