I’ve shared this before, but on a podcast Greig Fraser (cinematographer for Dune, The Batman) basically said, “AI is happening, and we as artists can either embrace it and decide how to use it tastefully, or investors/producers will decide for us.”
I thought it was fine. Could have been called “Manhattan Project” instead. And as an anti-war American I thought they made a compelling case at the end that the US was “forced” to obliterate all those Japanese civilians, but from a human perspective I still think it was abominable.
It’s really funny that people did the “Barbenheimer.” The hot pink, light-hearted feminist eye candy into a 3-hour sepiatone drama starring 45 white men. I would have whiplash.
An attempt at humor?
If I may ask, how are you able to take a 75% pay cut and still pay your bills?
They have a handful of dumb screens, like you’re describing, at Best Buy. Somehow they’re thousands of dollars for a normal sized TV.
I would say that I personally want to see more original movies, but I wouldn’t think to argue that the general public feels the same. I’m not surprised about this outcome at all.
We have TONS of examples of “inexperienced, low-budget” male DPs shooting blockbusters. Sometimes they look great, sometimes they look terrible. Women deserve those opportunities too. That’s how they become experienced.
Samsara was the first movie to be scanned in 8K. It’s stunning in 4K, so I think I would also enjoy it in 8K.
I personally avoid calling anything “overrated” because it carries judgment against anyone who likes the thing. I will say I haven’t especially enjoyed a Tarantino since I was a teenager and I don’t know what makes him so special.
Graeber’s book (Debt: The First 5000 Years) is so, so good.
I’ve never understood the use case for this. How did you use it?
NASA is hamstringing itself? Tell me more. I don’t know anything about NASA, but I would have guessed the bureaucrats were external.
Whatever means she came from, she’s an outstanding screenwriter and a very good actress.
If I’m reading this right, you’re saying you’d understand if Huang sleeps soundly at night despite his wealth. I’ve made more money every year for 5-7 years, and I’ve never worried that I’ve become an out-of-touch rich person. For most people, becoming wealthy is gradual. And like you said, we can probably all look back at our past hardships and feel confident that we earned our paycheck.
You think she’s not handling fame well because she’s setting clear boundaries, and reminding fans that she’s not their friend just because she’s famous?
This is so good. Congratulations.
I know nothing about cyber security, but it’s funny to me that depending on the time of day these comment sections either mostly criticize Telegram or mostly support it. I have no idea what to believe or whether it’s safe for me to use Telegram.
I like Leo and he acts with a lot of intensity, but I don’t think he’s a great actor. I never forget that I’m watching someone playing a character.
