@kenklippenstein@sethharpesq If we define a proposition S as "Ken Klippenstein will never assert S", then you, Ken Klippenstein, cannot correctly assert S. Someone else can correctly assert S but you cannot. Does this amount to a blocker for the ability of Ken Klippenstein to be conscious? Of course not.
I’m honestly baffled by the worship around this film. The great anti-digital, anti-AI crusader has delivered… a fully digital movie that literally looks like Midjourney took a lunch break, burped out a storyboard and nobody bothered to replace it with actual cinema. If ‘filmic’ was the objective, congratulations on sprinting directly into the opposite postcode. It has the visual soul of a neural net trained on 10,000 royalty-free Shutterstock assets from 2014. It’s almost performance art at this point: a grand sermon about the evils of AI plastered over a film that visually feels like an AI proof-of-concept. Peak irony. Peak self-own. It’s parody without meaning to be parody. If you told me this was secretly an experiment to expose hypocrisy in real-time, I’d believe you more than the narrative intent. Del Toro, undone by his own pixels. @RealGDT
What’s a movie that everyone always says it’s the greatest film ever made and when you finally watched it your reaction was “Yea, it kinda is the greatest film ever”
Every Mexican dish is just a taco in slightly different forms. The most redundant and least diverse cuisine on the planet. It's time to be honest about this.
I like Wes Anderson. He gets it. Actors don't really matter, scripts don't matter, film is a visual medium, scenes are series of paintings meant to stimulate the viewer.
Watching his films is like reading Nabakov or Joyce, he's a pure stylist. And as he gets older his films push toward self-reference and abstraction like late era Picasso.
he's basically making silent films
