@jaynitx This is assuming that the top drivers of AI are willing to be transparent or let’s say hold themselves accountable due to the high risk of disastrous chaos when AI becomes rogue.

His statement is non statement, naive and gaslighting. Oversight/safety is to check recklessness.

@notsotroubled I admire Denis visual craft. But it’s no contest Nolan for me. I have a serious problem with Denis storytelling ethos for ambiguous maximalism with him movies being meditating exercise making you apathetic for his characters. The few movies you care he didn’t even write them.

[J @jugsvar]

@PaulAnleitner This is very astute post but I disagree that he’s close yet so far because you’re implying that the goal is redemption in his storytelling. That’s not the point. That’s what you desire to see yet that’s not story he wants to tell. This is a matter of taste not quality.

[J @jugsvar]

@PaulAnleitner False equivalence. Condemning Odysseus’ actions in war while accepting the punishment of a cruel character isn’t hypocrisy, it’s recognizing that violence has context, intent, & moral weight. Ethics never treats all acts of violence as identical. This framing ignores nuance.

It’s better to be obsessed than intelligent.

@mackaybell Another thing that’s ironic a lot of the things people complain about where IP gets twisted all of that is just iterative and adapted from Shakespeare or Greek mythology anyway. The only way you can make a claim he’s exploiting it is he didn’t harness the essence of the story.

[J @jugsvar]

@mackaybell Some of the stuff you’re talking about the attack on ip and being twisted by some elements of woke ideology I agree with but that’s not applied to The Odyssey.

He’s not exploiting he’s adapting it. Art has always been adaptions of adaptions it’s iterative.

[J @jugsvar]

@mackaybell Also deadpool and wolverine is your example? Again another point of ignorance; it’s a marvel movie a superhero genre with extreme pedigree and demand for decades with two specific ip. Like come on false equivalency.

[J @jugsvar]

@mackaybell 4. You can criticize whether The Odyssey works creatively or whether $250M was wisely spent, but saying Nolan should have made a shorter, safer, more market-tested movie misunderstands why people value him in the first place.

Your pov is tone deaf on health of the industry.

[J @jugsvar]

@mackaybell 3. Blaming casting or ambition misses the bigger point: Hollywood’s problem isn’t that filmmakers occasionally take risks. The problem is that studios have trained audiences to only show up for familiar brands.

[J @jugsvar]

@bernardtjoy Agreed severely misplaced that box office revenue equals quality. However there’s more than enough empirical evidence that Nolan is the rare filmmaker that balances real artistic merit quality with mass commercial appeal.

[J @jugsvar]

@mackaybell Not opening more than Oppenheimer is your only valid logical take on how it’s box office numbers would be reflection of its quality in your original post. Everything else is not.

[J @jugsvar]

@mjarbo IMAX was never meant to carry the box office. It’s the marketing engine. Sold-out premium screenings create headlines, urgency and word of mouth that drive demand everywhere else. Scarcity doesn’t suppress interest, it amplifies it. That’s how event cinema works.

[J @jugsvar]

@mjarbo This assumes people think in absolutes. They don’t. Most people don’t ask, “Is this the best format?” They ask, “What’s the best option near me?” If IMAX isn’t available, they buy a standard ticket. That’s exactly what happened with Oppenheimer, Avatar and Top Gun: Maverick.
