one of the reasons to get into cinema (or the history of any art form) is to marvel at the physical lengths people used to go to to realize a vision. I think this will get harder and harder to understand in an AI “art-on-demand” culture. It won’t be intuitive how they did this

@firagawalkwthme i thought it was a jade empire cutscene omg

BREAKING: Stanford University graduates staged a walkout during Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s keynote address at commencement Sunday.

The walkout was organized by Students for Justice in Palestine and No Tech for Apartheid as a protest against Google’s contracts with the IDF, Dept. of Homeland Security, and ICE.

A lot of people asked for the full AAA Mario video to be dubbed over in the same way, but I wanted to wait for a good idea to come to me. 6 months later, here it is. Focus, M.

no offense to the kids but they grew up online seeing this type of language being used but they never fully grasped the meanings/nuances behind words like “classist” or even “ableist” and now they just use them as buzzwords anytime something inconveniences them in particular.

when i accidentally close my 45 tabs it's like the burning of the library of alexandria, but worse and much more dire

Keep. Bullying. All of them.

AI must not be allowed to take any more than it has.

[Cinemarxism @CinemarxismBret]

The response to this post is why I leave the film industry every 5 years. The industry is full of privileged "I got mine" attitudes that undercut the entire industry.

Abolish the line. Pay your crew what they're owed.

“That’s not how it works.” Yeah, no fucking shit. That’s why we need to have a conversation about it? You’re all Marxists until it comes to a horror movie you love that just grossed $200 million.

[Elias @EliasTries]

Fun fact: I didn’t take a job on a Best Picture Oscar winner bc the pay wouldn’t cover rent.

It was a team I would have loved to work with but it didn’t make sense. I didn’t have the privilege to take that risk. This isn’t about what was agreed upon. It’s about what’s broken.

[Phantom @effoff1988]

(1/2) On one hand $6741.36 for a month’s work for an industry newbie on her 2nd film that was a microbudget feature film, is not a bad deal.

On the other hand, Focus absolutely should pay the cast & crew bonuses now that the film is heading to a historic 300M+ on a 750K budget.

[nina lee @NinaSerafina]

People telling the art director from Obsession “too bad, that’s what you signed up for” instead of collectively encouraging that once small budget films reach a certain number all cast and crew receive a bonus, is why we’ll never be free.

[staid @staidindoors]

everyone on film twitter is a marxist until they see an art director complain that they're not sharing in the wealth generated by their labor

[Elijah Wood @elijahwood]

For the first time yesterday, I experienced the new @alamodrafthouse QR code ordering system and I can tell you it’s truly awful. Rather than making ordering food and drink more efficient, it actually adds steps to the process AND if you want to order additional items during the film you HAVE to open your phone. No, your cute reference to that irony in your How To Alamo video doesn’t negate how ridiculous this is. Please don’t cut corners with your staff and revert back to physical menus and order cards.
