These lawsuits will never go anywhere. The “shadow library” hosting an entire copy of her copyrighted book sounds like then entity you want to sue. Summarizing that isn’t a copyright violation.

So when does Elmo start getting visits from Saudi bone saws over the loss of their investment?

not really

It’s very good for sysadmins, yes. These other folks here don’t even know lol.

I don’t disagree that CGPT wears off as a novelty replacement for “search”, but of course that isn’t its real function. I started using it for work just in June and I wish I had started months ago.

Is she 13 or 30?

Those folks should check out a couple of billion dollar animated films called Spiderverse that are super pluralist, diverse, and queer.

I had a funny feeling Elemental would build steam because there was this weird disconnect weekend #1 where people were like WOW WHAT A SHITTY BUST! but it actually had universal great reviews?

Wow Red Door only had a $16 million budget, it’s already a huge success. Couple that with No Hard Feelings, Evil Dead Rise, Scream, and Cocaine Bear, it’s been as good of a year for supposedly dead-at-the-theater genre films as it has been bad for blockbusters.

The Pirates franchise has a first really good movie and then a bunch of Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls.

Yeah, looks like *most* people got that 😏

So basically he has Short Man Syndrome but from being fat comic relief

It’s not completely unprecedented. The MCU has done 5 and 6 year gaps between solo films several times.

I think they could easily find a balance. Doesn’t need to be zero original content. Make about a dozen (not 5 dozen) things a year like House of Cards, Stranger Things, Beast of No Nation, All Quiet on the Western Front, and maybe two silly action comedies like Red Notice.

Wow so you want HBO outlawed for everyone just because you don’t like it?

There was actually a thread in r/Movies yesterday wondering if nudity was “back” in Hollywood because there’s been a string of it this year from A-listers. Jennifer Lawrence, Florence Pugh, Cillian Murphy, ScarJo is apparently full frontal for a split second in the PG-13 Asteroid City (??)

But will it be authentic nudity or a series of elaborate prosthetics?

Netflix needs to stop throwing hundreds of Mil at “auteurs” to run wild on middling movies

Really doubtful. Can we say that any of the Purge movies is really “woke” in the way that sets off conservatives? They started out briefly like a critique of ultra-Libertarianism but morphed more into just glorifying the most heavily armed ubermensch.

I mean, they do have private proving grounds. Those are an earlier step in testing. Like the difference between testing a new drug on white mice and then the human trials phase. These cars progressed to the “human trials” phase.
