“The most important person in the motion picture process is the writer. And we must do everything in our power to prevent them from ever realizing it.” — Irving Thalberg, President of MGM Studios from 1924-1936
Amazon MGM is no longer releasing Luca Guadagnino's ‘ARTIFICIAL’, a biopic about OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
The studio says the film will be better served at a different studio. It is important to note OpenAI inked a major partnership with Amazon recently.

Interesate análisis. Para reflexionar.
"For the next decade he'll make studio films with full union crews, because a $750K nonunion shoot let him prove he could. The micro-budget film is the farm system for the union blockbuster."
My very first morning filming Detention in LA, which was supposed to be an $800k shoot, Iatse showed up with a ballot box and said the crew was going to "vote" to turn it union or I get shut down. I had no choice but to flip it and spent the rest of the shoot scrambling to find money every three days. After it was done, my own DGA union kept sending me bills to pay for fines on a movie I spent my own money on. Of course all this expanded my budget which then put me in another tier of SAG which then increased the budget again. It was an endless union squeeze that kept pushing the budget up, with me holding the bill. As they say in Goodfellas, Fuck You Pay Me.
El cine es arte y todo arte está sujeto a crítica. No hay nada de malo en decir que una película te parece de poca calidad. Sin embargo, esta postura personal de Spielberg, que tiene asegurado su lugar en el panteón de la gran pantalla desde hace medio siglo, es adorable.
After sitting on it, I love Disclosure Day. There's Weirdberg stuff that tests the limits of human sentimentality like the crying newscaster or girl singing Disney to aliens, but Spielberg is a man who lives inside of movies. He calls for empathy a bit too desperately because this is not a movie about aliens as much as it's the need for a 79 year old man to start writing the Happy Ending of his life's third and final act.
un paper sobre estos términos nuevos y rebuscados (“companion piece”, “offering”) usándose para marcar una diferencia netamente semántica entre highbrow y lowbrow frente a la sobresaturación de contenido y el auge reciente de conceptos como el gusto y lo performativo
