I don’t know who this bloke is, but he looks like he’s stepped straight out of a different era.
The suit. The hat. The broom. The confidence.
A proper throwback to an England that valued character, individuality and a bit of class.
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.
I do love how Scorsese is so much chiller than both hurt Marvel fans and the snobbiest cinephiles imagine him to be. He's just like yeah I love A24 horror films and making TikToks with my daughter and heck I'll direct a Super Bowl commercial and voice a Star Wars alien, why not.
what should happen:

- smaller budgets
- less CGI, AI
- real movies produced with care, made by real people
what will happen:
- inde navarette funko pop
- OBSESSION cinematic universe
Young YouTubers such as Curry Barker and Kane Parsons have been making cinema history the past couple weeks with their films and they didn't need AI to do any of it.
Future people will look back on current discussions about LLMs being conscious in the same way that we look back on Victorians discussing whether the telephone could be used to contact the spirit world.

What's all this bullshit ragebait about Kane Parsons and Curry Barker didn't actually direct their own films? Orson Welles was 25 when he made CITIZEN KANE. Spielberg directed DUEL at 24. Singleton for BOYS N THE HOOD – 23. PTA did BOOGIE NIGHTS at 27. RESERVOIR DOGS, Tarantino was 29. Why is this so hard to believe?
He makes a good point. American tourists would probably find watching Arsenal a good first entry into football because of the similarities between watching them and an NFL match.
something also unique about the horror film community is we will watch literally anything. in fact if your movie is bad enough there is a small sect of us that will like it even more
