So I started writing long-form thoughts on film/TV for a shared Patreon and will share my articles from it. Currently available at the $5 tier and above(this may change later), this one is about the sex scene discourse that has popped up on here https://t.co/F01b4Mpumv
I think this is the central issue and nightmare with gen AI. It’s not just a tool to fabricate information, it distorts people’s perception of reality itself. Truly evil
Colman Domingo talked about this in regards to playing Mister, and Fiennes talked about this on regards to the villian roles he has played. And I would say for Obsession, if Bear came across as a red pill coded incel from the start the movie doesn't work
I've been seeing people seemingly condeming the actor who played Bear in Obsession because he didnt see the character as a villian. And I think people are forgetting that for most actors they need to find something human in the role to give a nuanced,complicated performance
I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard:
"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

Scorsese’s AI bullshit has caused people to do that thing where an artist does something bad and then everyone retroactively decides all their previous work isn’t good and we have to leave that dumbfuckery behind. Just stop. Not every thought needs to be shared
