It’s best not to base the anti-AI argument primarily in aesthetics, because it can/will improve, but god this looks absolutely dogshit.

I agree with the sentiment here, but they genuinely just ignore it, because at this point Twitter is so far detached from having any real-world relevance or even the slightest bearing on broader cultural conversation that even calling it a 'bubble' feels too charitable.

It was worded badly but I think David was speaking to a cultural assumption about masculinity rather than his own thoughts about Jonathan “retaining” his masculinity in his kiss scene with Cynthia. It kind of why he kept stumbling over his words; he knew he was bungling it, lol.

remember this next level stupid quote from Zack Snyder

Pluribus is doing this staggering tightrope walk of jumping flawlessly from comedy to drama to horror to tragedy on a second by second basis every week, and somehow I still think its biggest spectacle is its patience.

A consequence of the internet is that everybody thinks they know everything about every subject. Back in the day, if you were stupid, you accepted it, instead of trying to understand the ontology of the moving image

I saw people dunking on a tweet more worried about TV than cinema but the ramifications for the television industry and major players there are just as seismic, arguably more so. TV as it's operated for 30+ years and the whole industrial hierarchy might just evaporate.

I will genuinely become nauseous when they inevitably slap the Netflix logo before The Wire, The Sopranos etc. (They have no shame and would absolutely do this.)

Imagine writing an essay so bad that hundreds of your classmates show up to a protest to say you deserved a failing grade.

In every single one of these interviews he says “the consumer” instead of “the audience,” and it’s hard to think of a more efficient way of articulating why this guy sucks and why people are so worried about the future of Hollywood with this deal.

I’m not saying it would be good or ethical to fuel and leverage the MAGA crowd’s deranged phobia of Netflix (evil woke streamer) to motivate the Trump Administration to block the WB acquisition. That said,

Ted Sarandos said this year that theatrical distribution is antiquated, and he’s in the process of buying one of the hallmarks of Hollywood since its inception, which ended up proving him wrong several times (Sinners, Superman, etc). We’re not being dramatic enough.

“Together, we’ll define the next century of storytelling.” The next century of storytelling:

Imagine becoming head of one of the oldest, most celebrated studios in the world and selling it to a streaming service. Once in a generation loser. An all-time idiot in the footnotes of the history book.

Not entirely sure I buy that a tongue in cheek comment about literally all actors is remotely the same thing as weirdly singling one out and saying bizarrely harsh stuff about them, actually

Gonna become a RETVRN TO THE 1950s account but exclusively in relation to the Paramount Decree

Rewatching Veep and it really might be the most consistently funny show ever made, both in terms of the joke quality and the number of them per second. At the very least Julia Louis-Dreyfus gives one of the funniest performances ever

yes I’m sure the son of a Maoist revolutionary hadn’t heard of communism until he visited San Francisco at age 32

Obviously it has plenty of legitimate critics but it’s endlessly funny to me that for some reason the Avatar franchise is the one the Barstool Sports/superhero hype crowd try to grow a critical brain for
