Presumably, since you did a job that should have taken 40 hours in only 8, you just worked on Monday and took the rest of the week off?

You just described someone’s dream job right there. I’m not sure what’s hollow about that.

SO an artist ran the generation and then altered the AI image before it was final?

This is what I want AI for. I had to come up with 3 project charters this week. I used Copilot to give me the outlines and then edited the documents. Instead of 40 hours, it took 8.

That’s what happened here.

Oof. Those “this could have been a dream job for an artist”-type of tweets ring really hollow to me, since generally (albeit not always) an art department will hire all the graphic artists they need for a movie, and then those artists will create all of the art for the movie. And it’s probably one of the human graphic…

Commonwealth of Philadelphia???

I’m a Los Angeles resident and this summer I went to Philly. Took a walk from my hotel to a cheesesteak (sorry for the obvious) spot I knew of. On my way back 20 or so ATV drove past the police station as I was passing and they purposefully did wheelies and revved up their engines because they KNEW the police aren’t…

I just looked up the civil case records and depositions were ongoing through the end of last year. I’m sure it will take some time but hopefully it will end favorably for the victims.

I sure hope the terms of this dickhead’s guilty plea includes a public allocution in which he is required to explain in detail just what the hell inspired him to do this crap.

As the report from the newspaper explains, it was Philadelphia residents who provided the young mother and her family assistance following the assault. It was private citizens who helped locate Heron, leading to his arrest — including the man’s boss from his place of work at the time. The police found Heron three days…

Fuck this dude! Send his ass to jail!

They’re fans. Awful fans, but fans nonetheless.

Huh? They (or at least some of them) probably were. I’ve absolutely seen people who were social outcasts as kids/teens take away the wrong lessons and lash out at others in their adult lives. Hurt people hurt people and all that.

I utterly hated last of us 2, but no matter how upset I am, I could never support harassing anyone irl over it. Death threats over a character she plays is totally unacceptable and my heart goes out to anyone who has to deal with anything like this. She doesn’t deserve to live in fear over a role she played. How…

What kind of moron can’t separate an actor from its work? No person should be vilified for doing a really good job playing a (seemingly) unlikeable character

I think there’s still just a psychological break when the lead is a CGI character surrounded by otherwise normal people, maybe even just on a sub or semi-conscious level, where the audience has more trouble empathizing or engaging with the character. Your brain instinctively flags one of the characters as being less…

The hubris iin leaning so heavily on the CGI was kind of staggering and pretty representative of that “free money for everything (except writers)” era of Disney+ productions.

The problem with that is that Jennifer is always Jennifer even when she’s “Hulked-out.” After the initial transformation, in the comics, she really never transforms back to human form. She’s always an 8 foot tall, green, superhumanly strong lawyer who is still just Jen. That’s what makes the best of her comics so…

With Iger restructuring how Disney is approaching D+ shows it’s clear they won’t be dropping theatrical release movie level budgets on these shows anymore, even though that was really his idea to begin with. Not shockingly, it wasn’t really sustainable. D+ subs were never going to cover them and the idea that they…

I don’t understand the connection between Disney+ not renewing She-Hulk for a second season and the clusterfuck that was WB’s handling of Coyote Vs. Acme other than the word “courtroom.”
