@gay_kyle2 When some guy on YouTube actually did use AI (i.e. a neural network model trained on a large dataset) to deage De Niro, he mogged ILM straight away: https://t.co/D9zgtZ3EGi
@gay_kyle2 Not sure what the implication is, but the deaging in that movie doesn't work precisely because it DID NOT use deepfakes, opting for a very expensive, immediately out-of-date proprietary technology instead (see: https://t.co/gvOaqLnhan). (Cont'd)
@DylanTweetin@yunclesage Walter Salles is quite literally a multibillionaire, and one of the richest celebrities in the world. He inherited his wealth too.
@DhalgrenHogg87@yunclesage These directors do NOT make movies for the working class. Be real. True working class cinema (and I'm not trying to diss anyone) would be something like direct-to-streaming Scott Adkins flicks (there are some bangers) or Hallmark melodramas.
@mnmnmnsmnd@weardjupiter In the future, it might be weirder to find a new director who didn't use to have a YouTube channel of some kind. And it's not like many people knew of Michael Shanks' YouTube channel before his movie (case in point, the photograph mix-up in the OP).
@mnmnmnsmnd@weardjupiter It really depends on one's definition of a youtuber, but last year's feature film debutants Charlotte Ercoli and Cazzie David did start out by putting comedy content out on YouTube and amassed thousands to tens of thousands of subs.
@emilianoalvae@Madmaddingcrowd Examples of filmmakers who actually do read more than they watch (an a priori countrintuitive thing for a visual artist) are Radu Jude and Aleksandr Sokurov.
@emilianoalvae@Madmaddingcrowd Woody Allen is NOT a reader and actually perfectly illustrates OP's hypothesis. Here's what Allen said about it in the interview with Bill Maher last year.
@Zmei_Hhsss@svgmzr 200k monthly listeners is nothing. There are 100s of Russian rappers with more. Bob Dylan has 2.5 times more listeners on Yandex than Cash, yet on Spotify they are roughly equal. The premise of Cash being emblematic of Russian tastes is nonsense; it's the opposite, if anything.
@Henri20914179@VK_HM Mektoub: Canto Due and Mektoub: Intermezzo are two different films. The trilogy (which was shot in the entirety during summer 2016) goes as follows: Canto Uno - Intermezzo - Canto Due. Intermezzo remains unseen after the Cannes screening, while the other two films released.
@dylanpayneplus@TheGayChingy That's skill issue tbh. Hitchcock, Welles and Akerman all have many great movies. In fact, all three have 3 to 6 titles in the 2022 top 250, so it's not like they are immune to vote-splitting.
@mkuvsh "Певец на свадьбе" вышел почти на 10 лет раньше "Груза 200". В 2007 году ностальгия по эстетике 1980-х была таким общим местом, что ей занимались фильмы, выигравшие и "Золотую пальмою ветвь" ("4 месяца, 3 недели и 2 дня"), и "Оскар" ("Старикам тут не место").
