I love getting thoughts on AI from people who don’t know how to attach PDF’s

Paul Schrader is just Travis Bickle now. A solipsistic loser who lives in a fever dream where other people are more like visions of a forgotten past than equal participants in human life. Of course he’s embracing GenAI.

What gets me is... *Good* video games don't even look like that! I know everyone abuses "looks like a PS2-era cutscene" as shorthand for bad CG, but I think about some of the best games to have come out in the last decade alone, and Hollywood wishes it was anywhere as vibrant or stylish.

😳

I see everyone getting incredibly mad about this but… this is basically what the Dems have been asking for the entire time it’s a bad deal for the Dems! it’s super easy to say yes to! and we are over a month into a shutdown anyway because the response has been “you get nothing, good day sir”

Here’s @realgdt.bsky.social in NYC expanding on his rallying cry of ‘fuck AI!’, talking about how art and even love come from shared pain and movies can save your life. This shit made me and others in the audience cry as much as his version of Frankenstein…

Writers are so afraid of writing bad art they’ll write nothing which is so much worse.

A trillionaire is a parasitic scourge on society and absolutely should not be a thing to exist. I can't even comprehend how much that is. The average US worker would take between 40-70 THOUSAND years to become a billionaire. A trillionaire? 16 MILLION YEARS.

i still don’t think i’ve seen even close to a single piece of evidence that zohran mamdani is antisemitic beyond him believing children in palestine shouldn’t be killed by israel

The crashouts from after the Zohran Mamdani election deserve their own Letterboxd page

Pretty sure this is the longest outage I can remember since I first became a Patron.

The things I do just to be a Felicity Jones completionist...

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Are these people on drugs or

People complaining about Letterboxd being down and I'm like bro you obviously weren't on there in 2016, this was everyday life.

IMO a lot of the problem with AI in therapy comes from the view of therapy as mechanical rather than relational (e.g. CBT). You wouldn't ever plausibly think that AI could be useful in therapy unless you thought a meaningful ongoing therapeutic relationship with another human being was unimportant.

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

Wow, who knew we were gonna *need* to colonize another Earthlike planet just to raise enough popcorn...! 😏

Now that he won despite our attempts to stop him, his duty in office is to please us, specifically.

more people should actually watch the ending credits at the movies

Regrettably, I got too curious and peeped Debra Messing's Instagram stories

I'm not sure there's anyone on the planet who deserved to celebrate the defeat of Andrew Cuomo more than Lindsey, who had unimaginable amounts of courage in coming forward and continuing to push until he suffered actual consequences for sexual harassment thrilled for her

If you're able to.

Guy who shilled hard for Deadpool & Wolverine and said anyone who dare wrote a negative review for it "hates fun" accusing another writer of being an industry shill.

I love the smell of Republican tears in the morning

"Democrats want to make rents lower and buses free" oh nooo please do not notify the nation

If these numbers turn out to be true, it's a sign that the rabbinic mobilization against Mamdani had a real effect. At the same time, this means a higher percentage of NYC Jews voted for Mamdani than Jews nationwide voted for Trump, and pro-Trump Jews are treated like a major constituency.

found out that people are mad at Jared Gilman on Twitter over this and I'm like ?????

NYC Dems to Andrew Cuomo:

Took this photo with Mira Nair in 2022 and would never have seen this coming tonight lmao

this is why you lost, Kamala

getting dave portnoy out of new york is one of the most compelling arguments in favor of zohran

hell yeah

PREDATOR: BADLANDS is another awesome entry in the franchise from Dan Trachtenberg, powered by some great action sequences and excellent work from Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi. More thoughts below! #PredatorBadlands

Just turned on the Criterion stream just in time to catch the beginning of WEEKEND, and man, there should be more movies like WEEKEND.

Between a mayoral election candidate whose mom directed Salaam Bombay! and Mississippi Masala, and another who is literally Marcello from The Conformist, I don't know, I think the choice is obvious?

Pepsi it is for me then!

Extremely funny seeing how many people are taking this seriously

Mamdani was unaware Dick Cheney had died when I asked just now:

Rest in piss you fucking war criminal piece of shit

We have Shawn Levy shills now?

It's cool how we keep proving over and over and over again that there's a significant market for narrative-heavy, character-driven, single-player experiences in video games and publishers just categorically refuse to believe us

All these comments about how "Andrew Cuomo isn't really a Democrat" aren't totally wrong, but they aren't entirely correct either. This need to uphold a status quo, that was all strengthened by Republicans, *is* a crucial component of the American Democratic Party.

It's uncanny how Cuomo has been laser-focused at appealing to the absolute worst qualities in people - their insularity, their tribalism, and now their fear. A campaign monumental in its cynicism, a colossal bet by this man and his billionaire backers that people are basically bad.

Criterion announcing a 4K UHD edition of Salaam Bombay! isn't coincidental either.

We need to enjoy this: A handsome likable candidate is great at campaigning, has a hot wife, and his mom is in the Criterion Collection. The opposition must hate themselves for trying.

BREAKING NEWS: Remmick has endorsed Andrew Cuomo.

lol no one has ever used KPop Demon Hunters to "bash" Disney or Pixar, it literally just blew up because it came out at the right time (Blackpink going on tour and BTS reuniting) and people like the music.
