You see, we could have western ghibli, but producers are a bunch of cowards.

If Bernie's 5% annual wealth tax on billionaires had been enacted in 2012, Elon Musk would be worth less than $365 billion instead of the $834 billion that he's worth today. He'd still be the wealthiest man alive & every senior would have dental, vision & hearing under Medicare.

go indie. be dirty. be diy. be lo-fi. make movies with your friends. self-publish. distribute at local venues. fuck with conventions. fuck with copyright.

again: there is NO WAY this should be legal. if this country actually supported the free market, which it hides behind to over and over and over again make the worst capitalist decisions, this would obviously be an anti-competitive monopoly. shareholder culture is rancid.

i love when art produces tremendous value for shareholders

if only there was a law that was supposed to stop things like this happening

I’ve always seen the backrooms as a take on the labyrinth that Daedalus makes to hold the Minotaur. Idk, could be interesting to think this place is adapting itself to keep in an even darker entity.

Would be nice if the FBI Director was looking into this instead of chugging beers in Italy.

I will never get tired of genuinely great actors having absolute reverence for the muppets. It is one of the few consistent good things in the industry; a metatextual self-deprecating bit about acting and show business that has continued on in perpetuity since their debut.

There’s money for ICE There’s money to build detention camps. There’s money for Argentina. There’s money to invade Venezuela. But we’re supposed to believe there’s no money for healthcare, housing & food? Suffering is a policy choice.

This is totally unconstitutional. The states should resist this unlawful policy of one standard. This is also a dangerous push toward more technocratic control.

Yep, exactly what we told everyone was going to happen is happening. AI generative software is just a mechanism to put the generation of mimicked output directly in the hands of the "money people". No auteurs needed, no crew, no craftspeople, no artists. No-one. Just a response

Too much talk about $20 being too much for PVOD (it's not) and not enough talk about how quite frankly game-changing this is from Letterboxd. Indie films that don't have distribution getting this kind of exposure? And "a portion of every rental goes to the filmmakers." Love this.

Donald Trump received hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign donations from tech companies and billionaires who want AI deregulations. This is what a corrupt oligarchy looks like.
