You have to see this on a big screen.
May be gone from theaters this week if you don't.
Some of my TERRIBLY DRAWN storyboards for I Love Boosters. Later- we did have an amazing artist re-do them, but planned through most of prep using these. It worked. You don't have to use AI to do this shit.
So while I get why some comrades are unsatisfied with “I Love Boosters’” diegetic explanation for dialectic materialism, lemme propose this: who the FUCK outside our little circles has even heard of what dialectic materialism even is?! Exposing theory to the masses is good!
For low-budget filmmakers- since you have friends and time- you can figure out how to do a lot more in your movies this way than w CGI. Someone will say otherwise, but they aren't comparing what it takes to get CGI that looks of comparable quality. I Love Boosters is out now.
Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas
Ben’s is a DC institution/landmark and should be celebrated. But if you’re saying that’s your favorite restaurant in the city you can’t be my mayor cuz why’re you lying to us
it's 3 AM, you hear movement outside your house.
You look out the window. There is figure standing barely illuminated in the yellow haze of the street lights.
you turn on the lights.
It's Boots Riley.
He wants to know if you've seen I Love Boosters yet and if not why not.
US education on Blackface is deliberately awful. it explicitly avoids describing the reality that it was America's first major cultural production/export and the film industry/hollywood is fundamentally built off of it. they point to very specific examples to exceptionalize them.
