Do not dread the darkness. Embrace it.

Robert Eggers' WERWULF is only in theaters this Christmas.

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Robert Eggers confirms that the dialogue in ‘WERWULF’ is all 1300s Middle English.

“We worked with 2 Oxford professors on the dialogue, which is in Middle English, & then worked with a dialect coach on a way to temper the pronunciation”

I keep thinking about Backrooms, that it’s a movie made by someone young now, about people being trapped in and forced to wander and sift through the banal and garish detritus of the late 20th century, warped and monstrous things being built from flimsy memories of that era

[Oliver @vitruvianmemory]

So well deserved. Astonishing.

It's everywhere. Backrooms is the #1 movie in the world.

We've got the myth of Narcissus all wrong. It's not a story about falling in love with yourself, it's about the dangers of being seduced by things that look human but aren't, wrongly ascribing to them human will & intelligence. Which makes it a perfect metaphor for AI.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.
