The people with the most power continue to believe the future is slop, and I think they're in for a disappointment! These tools offer novelty and shock value, and then nothing. Meanwhile, who knows if OpenAI will even be around in three years.

Also, while I'm sure they've tried to put in filters for pornographic content, you can't account for every weird or offensive prompt. There's likely nothing in there for "Old Man from Up flies towards twin towers."

If you're one of the ancient execs sitting on Disney's board, this licensing likely seems no different than a Disney video game or any other branding opportunity. Again, they're going to find out in fairly short order that they're wrong and misunderstand the technology.

Buuuuuh, pfui! Doppelbuuh, megapfui!

People have forgotten that there was a whole season of Girl Meets World that was sort of about her and the protagonist being in a throuple with some boy, before it's clear the network was, like, "What the fuck are you guys doing over there??" but _I_ haven't forgotten.

"If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you." "Good luck."

Movie theaters forever

Frank Thelen hat noch nie in seinem Leben Plätzchen gebacken und versteht ohne kleinteilige Anleitung nichtmal, wie eine Keksteig-Ausstechform funktioniert. Irgendwie erklärt das viel, überrascht aber auch nicht, war ihm doch in einer frühen "Höhle der Löwen"-Staffel das Konzept "Katzenklo" fremd.

Typen stellen sich vor die Kamera, erklären ihr Geschäftsmodell (man kann Geld verschenken, aber rein digital als Guthaben, das nach drei Jahren erlischt) und werden dafür von anderen, raffgierigen Reichen gelobt. "Die Höhle der Löwen" ist zum Schaulaufen des Verabscheuungswürdigen geworden.

ok this took jobs away from tons of actors and crew members and also burned an entire rainforest to make but you have to admit it also looks like shit

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars or Trek, LOTR, or Marvel.

I got to see The Movie Orgy at BAM about 10 years ago and it was legitimately one of the greatest moviegoing experiences of my life. This is so exciting. I already ordered my copy.

i think the inability to tell the difference between "i don't like it" and "i don't like it so i have to figure out a way to imply this thing i don't like is morally evil" is the most fundie thing i see people who are aren't technically fundie regularly do these days

Einfach der womöglich lustigste Film aller Zeiten:

actual news, which seems extremely plausible: (also - the customer shouldn't have to care whose fault it is - Lionsgate hasn't been promoting the hell out of this show, it's been HBO Max, which has a certain amount of responsibility in ensuring its programming is accurate) bsky.app/profile/eric...

you know I had to do this

This is absolutely real. The current HBO Max version of this "Mad Men" episode "remastered for 4K" did not include an updated visual effects shot, which originally painted out the crew and equipment. Not just that, the HBO Max episode titles/order is jumbled for s01.

Wieso ist "Abartig hässlich zurechtgefilterte KI-Restaurationen von Beatles-Dokumentationen" ein eigenes, fortwährendes Genre?

Ein Hitchcock aus der zweiten oder dritten Reihe ist immer noch ein interessanter Film. Noch dazu, wenn er einen rauen Kommentar auf ein Hit-Franchise darstellt: arte zeigt "Der zerrissene Vorhang" mit Julie Andrews und Paul Newman! www.filmstarts.de/nachrichten/...

50 years ago this week, Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert made the first pilot for their TV show. In honor of this huge anniversary, I created my definitive “Best of Siskel & Ebert” article - 50 of their best reviews from across their entire career. 👍🏻👍🏻

Happy Rock Hudson Day!

They most certainly are! Look at this Amazon write up for To Live And Die In LA, a film with sexual assault, dozens of murders (some pretty gruesome), and language galore:

I guess they’re using AI for the plot summaries now?

Übrigens: Die sehr tolle, facettenreiche Doku "Songs of Gastarbeiter" ist aktuell wieder in der ARD-Mediathek abrufbar. Lohnenswert!

Bevor „Les Misérables“ ein Musicalhit wurde, bot eine seltene Koproduktion zwischen Frankreich und der DDR eine recht werkgetreue filmische Umsetzung des Romans von Victur Hugo. Heute Abend läuft DIE MISERABLEN auf Arte: tinyurl.com/mr38zdnf
