I saw “Supergirl” in IMAX. It wasn’t a “superhero movie” about saving the Earth through self-sacrifice as “justice” confronts “evil.” It was a coming-of-age story about saving oneself, Kara, as she struggles with her own trauma. Structurally, it feels less like “Mad Max: Fury Road” (2015), where everyone is driven purely by survival instinct beyond notions of good and evil, and more like The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966), where heroes, villains, and scoundrels all converge.
the fact that nobody is willing to admit there is a serious teal digital color grading epidemic infecting nearly every film released by Hollywood now and people get ultra-defensive or personally offended if you point out on here that there is a problem is a bleak omen for cinema
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.”

@J_Stobrimore If you are talking about machine learning then yes. I work in the biz, and before this Generative AI Hype slop came around, the AI was really just machine learning. And it was for very specific niche uses.
Yup. Outsourcing your control and decision making to a Slop Slot Machine is why AI doesn’t make sense in the Arts. Whatever it spits out, you can’t explain why you “chose” that detail, because you didn’t choose anything.
“Backrooms” is about the Gen Z experience of living amid the cultural detritus of the 1990s, faded photocopies of a decade that - at least aesthetically - never ended.
