It seems pretty absurd that companies are so quick to slash workforces in favor of AI when it seems pretty clear that AI is absolutely not ready to replace humans even at fairly simple tasks. The National Eating Disorder Association debacle makes this perfectly clear.

You’re right; that is definitely a ridiculous reason.  Trailers were everywhere you’d expect trailers to be, for quite a long time now.  

the media jumps on any simplistic narrative it can. we make a mistake if we keep our analysis within the confines of that narrative.

this shows the limitations of our simplistic ‘do video games cause violence’ discourse. here we have someone literally funded by the department of homeland security saying “video games are great nothing to see here!... oh except for those scary terrorists who use them for evil.”

From my memory of reading this year’s ago she was allowed to have the data and was working from home, everyone knew what was up. Iirc she had a copy of the data because internet speeds at the time severely prohibited working with much of the data in a live instance.

guarantee financial success where the likes of Lightyear and Turning Red could not.

Have there been any votes of confidence for Elemental? It looks visually stunning (as is to be expected, however in the Current Era of 2023 they can no longer ride on the basis of visuals) but the story looks boring as hell. Oooh, she’s a fire girl and he’s a water guy, how ever will they make it work? Thbbbbt.

“For all that the movie concerns itself with the idea of a rigid Spider-Man canon that defines these character’s stories, it betrays its real heart with these choices”

Yeah, that’s why I don’t really know what to think of this kerfuffle. On the one hand, this exhibit sounds like it’s genuinely cringey. On the other hand, if the criticism boils down to “how dare they thumb their nose at high art” then fuck that noise.

Sounds like this exhibit is very on-brand.

“Van Gogh was mentally ill and had he not killed himself he probably would have done problematic things” is a really fucked up thing to say about someone.

Is this a joke? She went to school for art. Those were her first jobs, and that's why she talks about it on stage. 

Such a bad take. ToD sucked... because it had kids in it, because it had a screamy cartoonish female supporting actor (see Octopussy, which suffered from the same disease), because it painted wildly obscene stereotypes of Indian people and culture, because it was filled with the most cartoonish action sequences,…

“I’m not challenged by the content of that special, it’s the audience who’s too comfortable watching it!”

It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but I doubt that I would rate it much higher than KotCS because it’s got too many things that I cannot tolerate: a shrieking , useless harpy of a stereotype, a plucky little sidekick who’s just too cute and whose presence is solely to appeal to the children in the audience, and a…

To each their own, but I found it too cheesy even for me, and I like cheesy movies.

You must’ve been absolutely fuming when Beauty and the Beast was nominated for Best Picture in 1991. It’s for kids!

The “Miles ascends” shot literally took my breath away in the theater. Literally. I had to gasp.

Temple of Doom’s portrayal of the villagers and the surrounding community isn’t always, shall we say, culturally sensitive—not entirely surprising for a movie made four decades ago, but something that might stand out for a first-time viewer in 2023.

Nope
