Sharon Stone says AI feels like a “cover band” to her: "It’s never going to be the Rolling Stones; it’s always going to be somebody singing the Rolling Stones."
"It’s never going to be me doing a performance; it’s going to be somebody faking me doing a performance.

I went to see ‘BACKROOMS’ last night and saw something I haven't seen in years:
Teenagers standing in line for a movie.
Not with their parents. Not as families. Just groups of kids choosing to spend their night at a theater.
That's what makes ‘BACKROOMS’ so fascinating. Kane Parsons, Curry Barker, and creators like Markiplier aren't just making movies. They're bringing a new generation back to theaters.

The new batch of filmmakers is coming from YouTube.
Might we see a group that reflects that of Spielberg, Lucas, Coppola, and Scorsese from the 1970s coming out of this new gang?
Or might it be too early to tell?
