Shame on Variety for promoting a piece of digital equipment as an "actor":

But it will make an interesting case study on digital rights - e.g. I predict "Norwood" will make her pornographic debut by the end of the year.

This is such a slippery-slope: the "safest way" to make a movie would be to never leave the studio; and it can be made more "affordable" without movie stars, a large crew, post-production staff...

"Blades of the Guardian: Wind Rises in the Desert" is a highly entertaining historical Chinese fantasy...it races forward like a lost firetruck.

Theatrical releases provide scarcity - there's only so many seats in any theatre / cineplex/ city - and scarcity creates demand in a way streaming never can.

One of the best stop-motion animation films I've ever seen, with artistic / appropriate production design. (Not sure I "get" the story).

(Having Oscar nominated cinematographer Seamus McGarvey helps too).

Its good to hear families are going back to theatres, but unfortunate that "The Bride" poor box office might dissuade major studios from bankrolling auteur fare.

Hadda chance to review a media screening of "Forbidden City" - an interesting mix of Italian crime-drama and Chinese martial arts action that struggles to switch back and forth.

If Ellison and Son are smart, they will position Paramount SkyDance Warners Discovery as the saviour of theatrical distribution - double-down on using cinemas as your biweekly "distribution system",
just like in the Golden Age of Hollywood (to stretch a point).

I've said before that the first domino to fall in AI film production will be the "good enough" scenes e.g. cartoonish Shrek, or hyper-realistic Spider-Man. We're coming to an end ... or is it a beginning?
