I'm so sad I missed all the discourse surrounding Marty Supreme because it opened so late where I'm at. Very problematic movie (obvs from the Kevin O'Leary casting), disingenuous in the best kind of way.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

So, this is actually how being creative works. Star Wars succeeded because Lucas threw everything he had ever read or seen (Fu Manchu, fairy-tales, WWII films) onto the screen. No modern Star Wars has replicated his success because today’s writers have only seen Star Wars.

One of the biggest differences between ordinary nerd-dom and actual cinephilia is the fixation on trivia, in my opinion. Knowing the elaborate background of the scene or tech specs or whatever is just nerd reflex, but proper cinephilia is more about *seeing*, not knowing.

[Anime Outsiders @animeoutsiders]

I don't care what he thinks about video games, Roger Ebert had the ultimate redpill on nerd culture as a whole.

This basically describes every fandom on earth, and once you see it, you can never un-see it.

[chantilly @rivettian]

Souleyman’s Story was nice, adequate. Bit of Euroguilt cinema. Good performances. It’s been quite a while but I do prefer Full Time (2022).

The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act

I may like animation, but in god's name do I fucking hate animation fans. Nice ending.

[Variety @Variety]

News anchor turned actor Courtney Grace is the breakout star of Spielberg's #DisclosureDay and says: "I am overwhelmed with so much gratitude and surprise and shock."

"Some of my proudest moments were as a journalist [for seven years], and yet the desire to act just never went away... My experience as an anchor, in combination with the past three years training as an actor, you understand how to read scripts.. when I sat behind that news desk with that prompter in front of me, it felt like home."

like what am i supposed to do with this

[chantilly @rivettian]

Nirvanna the movie something something, pretty boring. Doesn’t feel like a real film, sorry.

[chantilly @rivettian]

Spielberg comes from an era when cinema’s images were the zeitgeist, prime center of public psyche. He himself was the best to do it. A formula that doesn’t work anymore… the film feels archaic and flimsy, yet precisely in that anachronism/naivete lies the pathos. Quite moving.

[chantilly @rivettian]

Disclosure Day. The film rests on an almost antique faith that a handful of singular images can still summon the public into collective awe. In reality that awe would be dissolved at once into claims of AI, fakery, psyop, or conspiracy, an anxiety the film itself half-admits.

[chantilly @rivettian]

The heated outrage about Scorsese using AI while working on storyboards does really drive the point home about how Americans are vehemently against AI (this is a neutral statement), can't fathom that kind of resistance over here tbh
