this targets people with extravagant free time, ie, people who can already easily afford to live in one of the most expensive places in the world. this doesn’t help anyone trying to “make it.” you should not have to earn the right to be paid for your labor. even if you’re young.

I’ve considered (and still am considering) hiring assistant editors or interns for my YouTube channel, which currently loses money on every video. and guess what I will do!? pay them money

my christmas day screening of it was laughing at all the intended bits, but went to a general screening again last night and nobodyyyy was gigglin at the goofy shit, only when a character would moan or something slightly uncomfortable would happen

That's a wrap on 2024. Thank you to everybody who found my channel this year! From finishing our feature film documentary, to reading the worst reviews of the movie, all the way to exploring the insanity of the state of Hollywood... all I know is that we're just getting started.

The Curse of the Polar Express is on YouTube now https://t.co/VtRhpjCRTi

In 2004, a movie released that would change everything. A lot has been said about the eerie feeling this movie gives people - but I really feel like nobody has seen the true horrors beneath it all. A thread on why The Polar Express led to the collapse of Hollywood...

[Braden Swope 🎥 @bradenswope]

Now, studios are putting dead actors in movies just for the cameo. De-aging is becoming more commonplace than ever. Ai is on the rise and artists are being put out of work. This is no different than The Polar Express.

[Braden Swope 🎥 @bradenswope]

You could argue George Lucas plays a part in all of this too, but the production of Express is even more damning. I am not sure where the industry is headed - but it's not looking great. I love the human, in-camera magic of filmmaking & I hope it makes a triumphant return.

there's nothing glamorous about a monkey doing cocaine

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Michael Gracey explains why they chose a CGI monkey to play Robbie Williams in his biopic ‘BETTER MAN’

“I think you feel more for an animal suffering than you do a human. There’s nothing glamorous about a monkey doing cocaine. It’s actually a bit sad & uncomfortable”
