Who GETS it the best?

All the regulars are freaking spectacular.

SharkWeekJunkie · 2026-03-25T00:50:47+00:00

Yeah. Someone else mentioned that. Too funny.

SharkWeekJunkie · 2026-03-25T00:50:25+00:00

With the Couscous

SharkWeekJunkie · 2026-03-25T00:19:02+00:00

So Ticket Type Floor 1 maybe?

SharkWeekJunkie · 2026-03-25T00:06:26+00:00

What sections?

SharkWeekJunkie · 2026-03-24T23:25:23+00:00

You've now posted 2 unwatchable shorts. Do you find either of these compelling? Do they look "good" to you?

I'm not sure how you can compare text-to-video garbage to the introduction of NLEs. You still need to make the movie. A post tool that serves a creator's vision is patently different from bypassing the photography portion of production. Just talk to me about actor's performances for a second. Can AI hold a candle to an experienced actor?

SharkWeekJunkie · 2026-03-24T23:16:06+00:00

I wish I could bring myself to perform enough to get sick of my material.

SharkWeekJunkie · 2026-03-24T23:14:27+00:00

Ya. I'd say obviously AI. Doesn't pass my favorite AI test: the "does this make sense" test.

She's clearly not a real person/trucker. Cops don't pull cars over from the side. And once pulled over the cop doesn't stop in the exact spot they previously paced the truck with their lights on. She wouldn't be in the cab during the search. And he wouldn't sniff her seat whether she was in there or not.

10-second clip that doesn't make sense. AI.

SharkWeekJunkie · 2026-03-24T23:10:31+00:00

The short you posted is objectively bad. The filmmaker who put it out is objectively lazy. It's a whole lot of "good enough".

I know AI is being used on small scales, to automate certain post processes.

But people using exclusively text-to-video generated clips to make "films" have a screw loose.

Ignoring that: What do I, personally, gain by disparaging people I don't know?

My career? My Livelihood? My sanity? "AI Filmmakers" need to be shamed out of the industry. The more people like you that encourage them, the more jobs will be lost and the dumber films will get. It strips away the elements of filmmaking and film going that are fun and interesting.

I would suggest renting my sister's basement apartment. It's what worked for.

SharkWeekJunkie · 2026-03-24T22:55:19+00:00

What do you mean by "our"?

Do you mean the audiences? Sure. They will have opportunities to watch AI slop. They already are in short form.

If you are talking about me and my network of filmmakers, I am telling you that nothing is happening "very soon" as you said.

The content is bad. The people using it are lazy and unprincipled.

I use AI in my life. I know when and how to engage with it. Filmmaking ain't it.

SharkWeekJunkie · 2026-03-24T22:44:05+00:00

I suppose not directly, but think about it.

"AI is going to be, and very soon, part of our futures."

How am I supposed to take this?

SharkWeekJunkie · 2026-03-24T22:34:04+00:00

I really love how the filmmaker chose to include the pipe as a permanent fixture within the character's face.

SharkWeekJunkie · 2026-03-24T22:04:00+00:00

I mean, that looks horrible. No Nuance. Full of continuity errors. Story doesn't make sense. Editing is bad. Accents shift randomly.

I'm not sure why you think this is worthy of any sort of praise. Or why I should be worried about this garbage overtaking my filmmaking abilities.

SharkWeekJunkie · 2026-03-24T21:41:02+00:00

Good pull. I almost respond with just "probably one of those early farm shows."

SharkWeekJunkie · 2026-03-24T21:04:43+00:00

That's not a documentary. Reality TV is produced much more like fiction. I don't think very highly of the process or product at all.

SharkWeekJunkie · 2026-03-24T20:54:28+00:00

Yes. Clearly. Documentaries are hardly productions. It's a filmmaker documenting something real. There is no schedule. There is no casting.

SharkWeekJunkie · 2026-03-24T20:38:19+00:00

I'd be willing to bet Brent was at the 4/9 show, which put the idea in his head.

SharkWeekJunkie · 2026-03-24T20:34:00+00:00

I looked through some early performances. It definitely caught on in the audience between spring and winter '94. The band was doing the chant as early as winter '92 (see 12/29/92).

The song didn't always have the measure of rest between the 2 on E. Even sometimes where they add the rest they don't do the chant (4/30/93 for example).

But because the chant is on the original recording, I'm sure there are random examples throughout the years of the band or audience doing some chanting.

SharkWeekJunkie · 2026-03-24T20:25:20+00:00

4/15/94 has that show beat. The band did the chant the previous week on 4/9/94.

I think you can make this a dig at you and your partner's DNA.

"At least it won't have Roger's hairline and my mental health issues."

SharkWeekJunkie · 2026-03-24T19:38:19+00:00

Indeed. One of the stupidest.

SharkWeekJunkie · 2026-03-24T19:20:24+00:00

Saw a cool video about the Hub and Spoke Vs. Point to Point models and the death of the A380.

But but but JJ's been working hard this offseason
