I genuinely fear for Zohran Mamdani life. He is peeling back the curtain more every day and the powers that be, historically, don’t like that very much. Protect him at all costs, he’s going to change American politics forever.
I looked this up and it’s being done for courts to recognise assisted reproduction, surrogacy, and same-sex couples during disputes
So the backlash is another example of how transphobia gets used to justify pushing more restrictive & conservative values across the board
Steven Spielberg says it’s been fantastic to see the success of ‘OBSESSION’ and ‘BACKROOMS’.
“I think it’s great that they had basically very little money, especially ‘Obsession’ that had under $1M and ‘Backrooms’ had maybe $10M or $9M. They're doing so well and I applaud them
I haven't seen ‘Backrooms’, I’m going to see it when all this is over but I have seen ‘Obsession’ and I loved it.”
Antony Starr speaks out against AI
"'[AI] is coming no matter what' ... bla bla. Recent movies have proven that people want human stories. Not big ridiculous VFX-driven nonsense"
"Ever tried to go to an Al movie premiere? The cast are horrible and they hate their human fans"
‘BACKROOMS’ director Kane Parsons says he would get “no enjoyment” out of using generative AI on any project — “It defeats the purpose entirely for me.”
“I think I'm in the same boat as most well-adjusted people. If I could snap my fingers and make generative Al disappear forever, I probably would.”

'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"
