Marty do u remember the storyboards u used to draw when u were 11, just a kid with asthma aspiring to be a filmmaker? no amount of generative ai could even dare to replicate let alone create this. u went through 6 decades of ur career w/o using any, and u still can. disappointing

Imagine having the possibility of hiring independent, struggling artists and instead choosing to support an AI company that steals from those artists. So incredibly disappointing, man.

[Karla Ortiz @kortizart]

This company’s models were trained on web scraped datasets (like LAION) and their founders are ex-Stability AI employees who engage in the same thieving practices that led artists like myself to sue Stability.

They NEED big names to sanitize their exploitation and crippling PR.

@RogueScholarPr @HellenicFool Pretty sure I downloaded that one a while ago for someone but haven't added it to the site yet, will get to it asap.

@RogueScholarPr @HellenicFool Only SD copies available, but thanks for the headsup, I'll add it to rarefilmm since it seems to be OOP, looks interesting.

Nothing more depressing than the thought of living in a world where piracy didn't exist.

Israel has been doing ethnic cleansing in Gaza and Lebanon for decades with the death toll of women and children in the tens of thousands by now but social media is to blame for its bad reputation yes.
Here's some footage from the 2008 Gaza bombings, make of it what you will.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the rise of social media is a major reason for US people's view of Israel as unfavorable.

"Innocent until proven guilty", unless you're israeli, in that case you'll remain innocent no matter how many atrocities you've commited.

@TimesSqKungFu Arrow hardly misses. Huge upgrade!

Hard Boiled [1992]
Directed By: John Woo

Comparison between the Shout 4K disc and ARROW 4K disc. ARROW nailed it. I told ya to wait. There are other details too like the Shout disc having noise and other stuff that has been broken down on the Blu-Ray forums.

ARROW has better subs, color, artwork by @studiotstella amazing booklet with writing by @BBW_BFF and a bunch of other stuff as well.
