I didn’t care for Resurrection the first time I saw it, but watching again recently with lowered expectations I had a better time. I’m not going to says it’s secretly good, but it has its moments. The weirdness gives it a kind of fever dream quality that’s scary its own way.

No, not really. They have a 22% and 12% on Rotten Tomatoes for what that’s worth. The first is at least bad in a way that would play on basic cable like some of those Alien knock offs. AvP:Requiem is too edgy to be any fun.

The Blank Check podcast had the first two screenwriters on as guests for the Detective Pikachu episode. It sounds like the movie got pretty mangled in re-writes.

They did if you count and or acknowledge the existence of the AvP movies.

That sounds like The Vast of Night and that was a really charming and surprisingly effective for basically being a radio drama.

I’m glad they aren’t shelving the project, but this is still a really weird. I struggle to imagine the proximity to other DC projects doing more reputational harm than half the movies.

I think you argue that the trained model itself is derivative of unmodified and untransformed images and data.
The models don’t store images per se, but over fitting of training data means that the models are often capable of outputting trained data given the corresponding inputs.

He does kinda have the doped up Mr. Burns eyes. It kinda also has that overly smooth look of Fornite characters.

I don’t mind the broader lore connections, but I think the cameos make the universe fell like a small town.

I’d almost recommend Netfllix’s Another Life as a so bad it’s good watch if it wasn’t so long. Truly one of the dumbest shows I’ve ever seen.

I haven’t thought about Hell Boy in a while, but it occurs to me now how strange the movies are. The strange thing about the del Toro movies, to me, is he gives the story structure by borrowing heavily from Men in Black making Hell Boy into a closely guarded secret. In the comics Hell Boy is known to the world and…

I’m not familiar with the source material, but I’ve been seeing a surprising amount of buzz about the project in the last week or so. After watching the trailer I get it.

I haven’t loved many of the io9 site layout changes, but I had to do a search to find this article. I think the review is bigger than what’s going on here.

It would depend on the model architecture and the training data. You could potentially include the number of fingers in an image as part of the training data and the model might be then make the connection. You could make a model that generated a “skeleton” as part of the image generation and that could emphasize…

I was seeing rumors online that there’s a third Barry who would presumably be some take on Reverse Flash. Based on the trailer though that doesn’t seem true though.

No, it’s still statistical models updating sets of weights and filters subject to cost minimization function. “Learning” in this context is just a convenient shorthand for what is essentially a high dimensional regression.

Absolutely. From what I hear Abrams will more or less improve/ rewrite each scene for maximum impact, which often means you get great scenes that don’t really cohere into a final project.

I rank him closer to JJ Abrams. They both strike me as guys whose media diet consists only of popular American movies. They’ve picked up the broad beats, but not the nuance that makes things work. Like Chis Pratt seems like he was supposed to be an Indianan Jones/ Han solo type, a jerk with a heart of gold and an…

New origin story for Darth Maul’s robot legs

That’s cool. I always enjoy these anthology series, getting to see a bunch of different stories by different creators makes up for the hit ‘n miss nature of them.
