Herzog could cover the shit out of ‘Rocketman’.

“I was driving down Sunset, and I turned on one of those roads that leads up into the hills – and I stopped at this place that overlooks the whole city it was fantastic. I suddenly felt exhilarated. I was really moved by the geometry of the place; it’s conception, its baroque harmony. It’s a fabulous city. And to…

Or, like, with a device you can keep in your pocket that lets you do it anywhere, any time.

It’s my dream that someday in the far future will be able to do this with the ease of typing on a keyboard.

Herzog’s public persona tipped over into self-parody about ten years ago. He’s practically William Shatner at this point.

“Phew, close one... anyway, I pulled some strings, and I got us a replacement on short notice. Do you guys remember that show Roseanne?”

You think his anti-vax stance alone would be enough to keep a HEALTH CARE foundation from booking him. The filthy content is just lagniappe.

As I grow older, I realize the attraction of any game show is basically the same -- looking at cases where the players miss an obvious answer and saying “I…

Yes, we should be informed if someone we’re reading about is abhorrent and odious.

“that includes the ability to separate his personal views from his television persona. (YMMV whether that’s a good or bad quality to have.)”

“...the bar is going to have to go way up because why are you going to watch my movie when you could just watch your own movie?”

The mechanics of this are bizarre to me too. Regardless of how little effort goes into AI art, and clearly they didn’t even put in a baseline of effort here, it’s certainly more steps than just grabbing a still from a film.

Sure they claim AI can’t creat anything but here it is,  Making 19 Angry Men.

i knew this tech would only manifest itself in the most annoying ways.
