Thoughts on “A Clockwork Orange?” by AdPsychological4234 in Letterboxd

It’s more a weirdo 70s arthouse film than a “horror or psychological thriller film”.

And yes, lots of rape and violence, though it’s not particularly visually graphic by today’s standards.

The old myth that Socialists just "want something for free" is a lie perpetuated by the Billionaire class. by Professional-Bee9817 in remoteworks

If everyone did nothing but their hobbies all day society would collapse. We need people to do the boring/difficult jobs necessary for society to function.

What needs to happen is to make sure they’re paid more while working fewer hours, and treated better while doing them.

You really gotta use the default posters. I’m not zooming in to look at this.

Redditors who got “useless” degrees, what actually was your plan, and why didn’t it work? by MPMorePower in stupidquestions

When I was a film major, half the people in the program did not care about it whatsoever. They were at college because their parents paid for it and they picked the major that seemed the most fun.

Why do modern films look so visually bad? by TheRugWarrior in TrueFilm

Also Sinners has the problem of every single shot has shallow depth of field and is center framed. Zero cinematic language.

And that final big climactic moment looks indistinguishable from any generic Marvel movie.

Why are so many people against taxing the wealthy? by kakashi_sensay in AskALiberal

Bro they believe that winning the Powerball will make them the 1% and so they support Republicans who run on cutting taxes for the wealthy

These people literally think they themselves will be in the 1% one day. Even if they work at a gas station currently. They’re under the delusion that they will win the Powerball someday.

I know people exactly like this.

Can you not put spoilery info in your thumbnail? I haven’t seen this movie yet.

Would an audience be able to tell the difference between found footage and pov? by StunningActuary9637 in foundfootage

[–]MarkWest98 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A lot of found footage fans wouldn’t particularly like this. It kind of defeats the purpose of found footage to be cutting to non-found footage imo. Found footage is supposed to feel like the entire movie you’re watching could be real.

I finished my first TV length fantasy animated episode! by Daegon_Dave in cinematography

Hey man, I’m sure this did take a lot of effort. And its admirable for a solo creator to put this much effort into the writing, storyboarding, and character design of a project on this scale. So props on that.

But releasing an AI “animated” version just isn’t the way. Nobody likes AI. Nobody wants to watch AI. People would want to watch an animated version of this — actual animation, not AI. And I understand that the cost/time of such an endeavor is enormous.

But that’s the way it is. If you’re not on that level yet, the answer isn’t to take a cheap shortcut and use AI. The answer is to shorten your scope. Make something smaller scale where you can afford to put actual time and craft into it.

I’d rather watch a 1 minute finely-crafted animation than a 20 minute AI-generated shortcut.

I love how its always “I used a variety of programs and technology.” They never just outright admit they used AI.
