any time something bad happens to AI I feel a warmth bloom in my chest that is not comparable to any human experience but I suspect might be similar to what a pokemon feels when they evolve via Sun Stone

[Nolan Archives @NolanAnalyst]

Christopher Nolan doesn’t like streaming being touted as the innovation of cinema.

“We’re not a tech company. The innovation in our industry has always been and should always be what goes on the screen, not what the screen is.”

@pattbb8 Where is this (please)

[Michael J. Murphy @MikeyMurphy]

@metaplexmovies yes to all of this

[Michael J. Murphy @MikeyMurphy]

just films, of a few different genres, that didn’t cost $250m to make

hope this helps!

Didn’t expect Ben Affleck to have the most articulate and realistic explanation where video models and Hollywood is going

[stoobs @thejstoobs]

This is always what it was going to be used for btw. It’s not some great equalizer. It’s a way for already massively wealthy execs to add a few more mil to their annual bonuses by cutting creative teams entirely & having a machine vomit up the most boring slop imaginable instead

what 😂

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Jennifer Lopez & Anthony Ramos’ ‘BOB THE BUILDER’ movie is moving forward at Amazon MGM Studios

The film follows Bob (named Roberto in this film) who travels to Puerto Rico for a major construction job & digs deeper into what it means to build.

@imPatrickT @laowa_lens @SonyAlpha sooo sick

[Christopher Miller @chrizmillr]

👎
And an extra 👎 for using underrepresented writers as an attempted shield from criticism. AI can’t appreciate an original voice or tone, it only rewards the familiar.

[The Hollywood Reporter @THR]

Hollywood, meet your new A-List.

From staggeringly talented TikTokers to the Instagram stars we can’t look away from, these are the names who will (and should) be dominating the business of new and old media: https://t.co/3e2opQYCon

[Michael J. Murphy @MikeyMurphy]

go see @strangedarlingx as soon as you can and do it without knowing anything going in —

@KyleGallner is incredible, as is @willafitz

@jtmollner is on another level with this one. every shot, every choice is just so special. it’s an experience you won’t forget… :)

“With John Hughes, IP was a girl turning 16. Life situations.”

Perfect summation of what’s wrong with the current state of the movie business.

[Sydney Battle @SydneyBattle]

there’s an ad playing during the olympics where a little girl wants to use ai to write a letter to her favorite athlete and…….. does that not take 99% of the ethos and feeling out of one of the most heartfelt concepts known to man? jfc

[Jen Richards @SmartAssJen]

It really feels like the last 10 years has been totally defined by finance & tech guys arrogantly believing they can do everything better and then totally failing upwards as they collect their bonuses and saddle us with higher costs for broken versions of the same shit we had.

[Michael J. Murphy @MikeyMurphy]

Drew’s monologue here from the end of his video is just fantastic. The edit brings it home.

[Rob the Bat @BobTheRatReborn]

Tiktok is cool sometimes
Fuck AI

[Will Smith @WillSmith2real]

Feelin’ real good about this one :-) @betawards tomorrow night!!

(I worked on the marketing for this film for the last few months, and particularly helped produce this clip 😜)

[Alexandria 🧚🏾 @theallygreen]

the official marketing team for this movie might as well pack it up because whoever captured this on set just got everything they need for their rollout in 23 seconds

[Raph @RaphDeee]

Creativity does not mesh well with capitalism. Creativity does not always mean the product will sell. Being creative takes too much time. Tech corporations think people don't mind homogenization and will gladly consume the same junk every day. Prove them wrong, don't buy slop.
