@umichvoter How was the train?

@RichardLNewby3 Between the AI posts and taking delight in certain movies seemingly performing poorly…

I just want to look at numbers a couple times a week. That’s all I need out of a box office reporting account. Nice and boring.

“John takes the movie that I think I’ve made to a level I didn’t know I made.”

30 films.

How lucky we all are!

Steven Spielberg has now made THIRTY films with legendary composer John Williams — a collaboration that has forever shaped our understanding of just how powerful movies can be.

[Pop Detective @PopDetective]

“AI is not going anywhere” is a PR line from a gen AI company press release that’s trying to make their bad broken technology seem inevitable. It’s bullshit. Please stop repeating it.

I would also take a guess that this theatrical format tool is not exactly what will appear in cinemas, I’d guess they’d reframe shots for the wider formats beyond simply cutting off the top and bottom, but I could be wrong on that count.

[Will Fields @realwillfields]

Seen a number of posts about a shortchanging of the frame composition in the non imax-70 formats, and I think people miss that filming in the IMAX film camera format creates a quality in the exposed image that makes its way into every single presentation format.

‘THE ODYSSEY’ allows users to play the trailer in each theatrical format that the film is available in.

This will undoubtedly be one of the best looking (if not at least unique looking) pictures ever filmed and that will be true regardless of where you see it if your screen is functioning.

@RichardLNewby3 Do a “Star Wars Special Edition” re-release of Backrooms in about 20 years, where nothing is different except they CGI Han Solo’s vest on Chiwetel Ejiofor.

Sen. Kaine: If you’re a trans kid watching this hearing… there is some intentional effort to make you feel bad about yourself, but you have a lot of people who love you. You have a lot of people who support you. … You are a beautiful precious person. You are made and precious and worthy of love as you are. You have a lot of people who love and care about you.

RIP to a legend and a queen.

Marcia Lucas watched a cut of Raiders of the Lost Ark & exclaimed “What about the girl?” In that cut, Marion was left tied to the stake & wasn’t seen again.

The scene on the steps was in the script but wasn’t shot. Within a couple weeks they picked up this scene at SF City Hall

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas

The Great Replacement theory is the white supremacist rebranding of the Nazi ideologies that were central to Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf.

Never let this hate be normalized.
Always call it out.

If only someone had asked Jesus who was his neighbor and Jesus had answered.

Wonderful people, don’t trade it away,

[Will Fields @realwillfields]

On that AI Birds “short.”

The argument against gen-AI art can be “look at the errors.” They claim it’s pro-quality, but there are still little details that get missed that would drive real pro-artists insane not to fix.

I don’t think that’s my best argument.

[Will Fields @realwillfields]

“But why would they not want to get that time back?”

Because for the artist, the time spent making the thing, is the value. The practice, the discipline, that’s where the reward is, not only the output.

It is a human experience, a journey that no shortcut can get you to.
