⁜ Synapses Constantly Sparked

["D." Fool @FoolOfD]

Bay Area "culture" is even worse. Imagine an entire region full of Indians, hоmоѕехuаlѕ, and the most mid Asian women on the planet lecturing everyone on Twitter about their imminent economic disenfranchisement at the hands of some AI fintech scam app they've "built."

“Unfortunately…”

For real smokers it’s a feature not a bug

Unfortunately, the fact cigarettes kill you slowly only increases their aura.

The only worthy ambition… I only wish I could’ve understood sooner

"Music is by no means like the other arts, namely a copy of the Ideas, but a copy of the Will itself, the objectivity of which are the Ideas. For this reason the effect of music is so very much more powerful and penetrating than is that of the other arts, for these others speak only of the shadow, but music speaks of the essence."

@BWilcox45940 I don’t have the energy to continue but I appreciate the dialogue and maybe I’ll write something cohesive on this subject in the future

[The Chuff Zone @thechuffzone]

The demand you’re referring to is relatively niche and does not meaningfully exist — It’s a stated preference within a niche community that doesn’t generally reflect market trends or the actual economic viability of a production

[Master Cheeks @WiggerMaggot]

Serious question, why can’t modern movies look like this anymore despite the obvious demand for them?

[The Chuff Zone @thechuffzone]

@BWilcox45940 The end of the sentence is “despite the obvious demand for them” and that’s what prompted me to respond

I don’t believe that said demand exists at an economically viable scale, and furthermore, movies didn’t look like that due to demand in the first place.

[The Chuff Zone @thechuffzone]

@BWilcox45940 That’s not my argument at all and as far as the original poster I’m only addressing the exact words and not any presumed implications

I don’t believe that movies “looking like that” equates to them “being good”. that was the point of my second post in the thread

"Am I in love? Absolutely. I'm in love with ancient philosophers, foreign painters, classic authors, and musicians who have died long ago. I'm a passionate lover. I fawn over these people. I have given them my heart and my soul. The trouble is, I'm unable to love anyone tangible. I have sacrificed a physical bond, for a metaphysical relationship. I am the ultimate idealistic lover." - JAMES DEAN (1956)

Pretentious and proud ✊🏼

@BWilcox45940 Have you ever made a movie?

[The Chuff Zone @thechuffzone]

@BWilcox45940 Nothing about what I’m saying has anything to do with visionary artists breaking conventions to achieve a great creation — which is ostensibly what you seem to be hopeful for and I agree with that — but it’s a completely separate conversation

[The Chuff Zone @thechuffzone]

There is demand for a Minecraft movie.

There is no meaningful demand for it to “look like that”.

And even if it did “look like that”,

That would not mean that it is now “good movie”

And that is the fundamental fallacy I addressed in my second tweet, that you are falling into

[The Chuff Zone @thechuffzone]

@BWilcox45940 Following your vision to create something regardless of market demand is a different concept than making a statement online that a nonexistent demand exists and I’m only making a statement about one of the said concepts

[The Chuff Zone @thechuffzone]

All these guys thought that the "democratization of access" to filmmaking tools would lead to some "golden age of cinema" where we would find out that "fat Becky from Ohio" was actually "the next Mozart" 🫵😹

Extrapolate to what's going on with AI video gen right now and realize that it's the same thing

@RamboVanHalen care to chime in on this? Am I making a point here or missing the mark ..?

And even beyond that, movies used to “look like that” for a confluence of reasons that were anchored in real world variables — thus producing the iconic look of the era. Doing a cargo cult with those variables will not produce the same quality even if superficially it looks alike
