Y’know what’s my big judge of a movie’s impact? Fan art.
Barbie had TONS of fan art. Heck, there’s arguably fan art in-universe with America Ferrara’s out there Barbie designs.

Rebel Moon is supposed to be this sprawling sci-fi epic and I have not seen one piece of art for any of the characters in the wild. 

Heeeeeeey! An unnecessary fight!

Never really warmed to Bewitched (although Elizabeth Montgomery was delightful). And I finally saw Hocus Pocus just recently (and didn’t like it much). Not sure I ever saw one episode of Sabrina.

Top that!

The only way to Top That would be a Teen Witch remake.

I still think his score for Superman might be the pinnacle of his work. I also realize we don’t look at it in the same way, but honestly, shouldn’t John Williams be considered one of the greatest composers of all-time? Like, I’m saying, doesn’t he deserve to be put in the conversation with Beethoven and Mozart and the…

It’s wild that I came to the comment section to mention how the Smashing Pumpkins did this with their middling, easily forgotten comeback album... but that I was beat to this point. The hell, man!

Wermhat vibes. 

Part of me wonders if and hopes that this is all some elaborate marketing strategy to gin up interest, and it’ll surprise release in the summer. But most of me knows that Zazlav is just this much of a soulless fuckwit.

“star of Curb Your Enthusiasm?” How DARE you disrespect Prince John like that!

If nothing else, I am hopeful this event will help the public associate “AI art” with low-effort shady bullshit.

This seems like such a weird project. I can’t imagine that there are a substantial number of people clamoring for the same story they just saw, but longer and over several seasons. People complain about Hollywood running out of ideas, but remaking a series of movies into a TV show telling the same story is…

I am seeing it start to impact all sorts of industries, including my own.

Stripped of the snark, that AI work DID take work from a fairly skilled artistic profession. It takes hours in the chair because getting the prosthetics right isn’t something that just happens.

Tyler Perry’s filmography is exactly what I picture when I try to envison a future where films are made by AI.

And this is exactly why I prefer John Oliver now. Not saying he doesn’t address criticism in a funny way as well, but Stewart’s self deprecating shtick has already worn thin and I’m already tired of his segments consisting of “someone says one sentence in a two second clip and then Stewart makes fun of that”. It…

My issue is with the idea that we “deserve” better candidates, considering we’re the ones who picked them.

Rule 1 of ANY genre - give us a good story featuring characters we care about. Lego did that. Barbie did that. And neither felt in the least like a toy company trying to sell you product. They used delightful and familiar visuals, sure. But both felt like movies for people who already owned (or did when they were…

nah i think they obliquely are referencing Transformers: The Movie when they reference movies that are only cult classics because you saw them a bunch as a kid. yeah it was traumatic. but it’s also kinda not very good, if you don’t happen to have that part of your brain that formed at the age of 7 that still thinks of…

It’s funny how much conservatives “hate” Hollywood but then will happily sign up for reality shows where they get to be one of the D-list celebrities on it.
