@kenklippenstein@sethharpesq If we define a proposition S as "Ken Klippenstein will never assert S", then you, Ken Klippenstein, cannot correctly assert S. Someone else can correctly assert S but you cannot. Does this amount to a blocker for the ability of Ken Klippenstein to be conscious? Of course not.
I’m honestly baffled by the worship around this film. The great anti-digital, anti-AI crusader has delivered… a fully digital movie that literally looks like Midjourney took a lunch break, burped out a storyboard and nobody bothered to replace it with actual cinema. If ‘filmic’ was the objective, congratulations on sprinting directly into the opposite postcode. It has the visual soul of a neural net trained on 10,000 royalty-free Shutterstock assets from 2014. It’s almost performance art at this point: a grand sermon about the evils of AI plastered over a film that visually feels like an AI proof-of-concept. Peak irony. Peak self-own. It’s parody without meaning to be parody. If you told me this was secretly an experiment to expose hypocrisy in real-time, I’d believe you more than the narrative intent. Del Toro, undone by his own pixels. @RealGDT
What’s a movie that everyone always says it’s the greatest film ever made and when you finally watched it your reaction was “Yea, it kinda is the greatest film ever��
Every Mexican dish is just a taco in slightly different forms. The most redundant and least diverse cuisine on the planet. It's time to be honest about this.
I like Wes Anderson. He gets it. Actors don't really matter, scripts don't matter, film is a visual medium, scenes are series of paintings meant to stimulate the viewer.
Watching his films is like reading Nabakov or Joyce, he's a pure stylist. And as he gets older his films push toward self-reference and abstraction like late era Picasso.
he's basically making silent films
