Underrated feature on Letterboxd: if you finish a film at 11:55pm, and go to log it at 12:05am, the diary date does not automatically rollover to the next day.
Overrated feature on Letterboxd: adding TV shows, I hope they don’t fucking do that.
I don’t think people realize that we already did and it’s the zombie.
Zombies as the undead, decomposing, flesh eating, shambling horde we all know them as is only like 50 years old. The viral, running versions are only like 25 years old
We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas
Guillermo del Toro says AI is a form of "natural stupidity"
“We are on the verge of image illiteracy. We are on the verge of cinema illiteracy... The pact between man and image is sacred, but we are in a time when that is in danger... We are told images can be generated by artificial means. The existence of an image is not just to be there. It is to connect us, to make us feel beauty,” he said.

just saw a comment on a tiktok edit of the 2007 film enchanted that said "he was engaged btw" and i am so unbelievably tired of 17 y/os on the internet demanding the censorship of any complex human emotions and relationships in the name of being morally superior
Hackers are utterly incapable of hacking shit that would actually benefit people. Want them to hack the FAFSA to get rid of student loans?? Sorry their too busy hacking cartoon studios and threatening to release something people were already planning on watching
@weddingIist “professional” film critics aren’t the only ones allowed to express their opinions on art. in this climate, i think it’s good that average people at least try to put their thoughts into words, not only to exercise their critical thinking but also to practice their writing
Steven Spielberg gives his thoughts on AI usage in filmmaking:
“I don't believe there is any substitute for the soul. I don't think that's an algorithm that is inventible... don't tell me I don't have the right antagonist in this story, don't tell me how to write my dialogue, don't tell me where the camera has to go…
If AI wants to help me find locations, that's great. Saves us some leg work… Use AI as a tool, but do not use AI as the final word on anything creative.”

The propaganda has begun lol. The pro AI camp cannot fathom that people who are very capable of writing all on their own still exist, and that their thieving machine took from these capable people in an attempt to pretend said machine was capable of the same. It isn't
Next movie should be FINDING MARLIN where he goes missing and a grown up nemo has to find him. its an allegory for aging and a child stepping up to care for the elderly parent.
Mikey Madison speaks out against AI in Hollywood:
“Hollywood is using AI to cheat on cinema. The invasive, soul-sucking tech that’s infecting our everyday lives.....people need to make movies the way they’re supposed to be made.”
