Oasis fan, huh?

Thats the thing about the Coachella demographic, You’ve got to remember that these are just simple influencers. These are people of Social Media . The common clay of the new Internet ... You know... morons.

If you got a problem with Blur, you got a problem with me, ingrates. 

Just keep sucking that Silicon Valley dick. I’m sure at some point senpai will notice you.

“...they make the world slightly more bearable.”
This is important. AI can make some of the ‘business’ of our lives run more smoothly and quickly, perhaps, but for some of us art (real art, I’m not going to argue about this) isn’t just entertainment or a diversion. There’s an element of the sacred and the sublime in…

She’s fine...because she’s in a position where she’s famous and recognisable enough to want to be hired off that alone - and to go after anyone who uses her voice and likeness without permission.

People being replaced by technology has been a huge issue for decades (centuries even if you want to pick hairs), but AI is replacing creatives , people who (and yes they make the world slightly more bearable),have up until now not been replaceable, so since its affecting people who write articles or make TV/movies ,…

Right, and the movie is extremely Dickensian in a way that is very emotionally satisfying. Dickens knew the galvanizing power of a good villain - the nastier and more melodramatic the better. I would say Capra is similar to James Cameron in this respect. Both are working in the sentimental tradition of storytelling…

“And I loved you.”

Like, past tense? This made you no longer love this guy?

Because he’s clearly ragging on social media stars, not Timothy Chalamet, and it feels like his tongue is pretty firmly in cheek either way.

I don’t think he’s talking about Timothee Chalamet. I think he means more YouTubers and TikTokers and other such “influencers” who are “famous” because they do a dance or model a piece of clothing.

... since Alfred Hitchcock prolonged Ingrid Bergman and Gregory Peck’s kisses to satisfy the censors in Notorious.

Hm. It's almost as though this whole concept is fucking stupid. 

I will never understand the appeal of idle games and I have never seen one that was not a microtransaction hellscape. 

Yes it was a giant mess, but I actually enjoyed Babylon.

Babylon was probably my biggest disappointment of that year, but I still appreciate the effort. It might not have been especially novel subject matter, but it was still a change of pace from most other movies these days. A swing and a miss can still be interesting to watch, whereas hardly anything redeems a Jurassic…

The gap between Whiplash and La La Land was two years, the gap between La La Land and First Man was two years, the gap between First Man and Babylon was four years, and the gap between Babylon and this new one will be three years.

The disappointment is real

I bet he did that to avoid people projecting simplistic, modern day politics on it. Especially if he was interesting in talking more about the function of a free press in a democracy. If he made it Texas and Florida, or California and New York, then the President would automatically be the other side and people would g…
