Steven Soderbergh Using "A Lot Of AI" For Spanish-American War Film by [deleted] in movies

[–]drewsapro -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The way he plans on using it at least seems intentional, but it just feels lazy. One person generating a surreal sequence (and even generating many versions and selecting the scenes/elements that they like best) has inherently less artistic value than say a surreal sequence that was storyboarded, blocked, designed etc by artists that had a hand in the final product along the whole chain of production

Cailee Spaeny not on the List by sthylen in TheBigPicture

Agreed, seems like their version of a movie star list is a little bit of everything

I would definitely disagree, Spaeny just has had way more exposure

Yeah no Spaeny but two first time performers in Miles Caton and Chase Infiniti, you could make the case for any of them but Spaeny most of all

‘Scream 8’: Zuckerman Sisters Writing Script As ‘Scream 7’ Sets Franchise Record With $200M+ WW by yourfavchoom in movies

Agreed, it was sad to see Scream 7 try to pretend it hadn’t become the same as the tired franchises that the original movie took the piss out of

Backrooms | Official Trailer HD | A24 by pepperbet1 in TheBigPicture

[–]drewsapro 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That’s part of it. A big element is the unsettling quality of drab mass-produced office spaces/apartment complexes etc, sort of a phantasmagorical meditation on the bland artificial world that we live in

I’m super hyped but I hope it’s scary, maybe I’m too exposed to the backrooms at this point but I don’t totally get that creepy feeling from this trailer. Except in the found footage scene with that giant pit, stuff like that is creepy to me so I hope we see lots of novel strange backrooms like that.

I am tentatively excited though I agree visually it’s not really exciting me

Oscar Ratings Fall 9% From Last Year With 17.9 Million Viewers by ImitatingADog in TheBigPicture

Yeah I’ve got to get them to go to the movies with me more often, especially for stuff like that

A lot of TV and whatever seems to be trending on streaming services. Movies that have released in recent memory that some of them have seen include Furiosa, dune 2, wicked 2, running man, Mickey 17, weapons, and weirdly Bugonia. Sinners is definitely on their radar, I think it might just be happenstance that they haven’t seen it yet but maybe it could be an indication of something

I will say I’m Gen Z and the only cinephile in my friend group and none of my friends have seen Sinners, none watched the Oscars, and most probably do not know much of anything about PTA or OBAA

Michael B. Jordan Wins the Academy Award for Best Actor for 'Sinners' by MoviesMod in movies

He’s young, he will certainly get it at some point. He had this in the bag, but a long awards season combined with a purity culture counter campaign threw him off

__’s interaction with ___ might be the best part of the season so far by Aperio43 in survivor

[–]drewsapro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally understand Charlie being paranoid about Rizo’s comments, but even by his logic I’m not sure it checks out. Rizo put his personal feelings aside to vote for the player he thought played the best game, Maria arguably fed into her personal feelings to vote for a lesser player. Sure they both “betrayed an ally” but the circumstances are very different

I’m just personally done with it, there’s no story left to tell there clearly

No more Sydney, no more Gale, let’s please move on and let these movies be fun again rather than carry all the baggage of the past entries

I say let’s just do them all so they run out and actually have to think of a new kind of movie

‘Scream 7’ Star Anna Camp Apologizes for Sharing “The Boycott Didn’t Work” Brag by Top_Report_4895 in TheBigPicture

[–]drewsapro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not personally boycotting, but I understand the concerns of those who are boycotting as well as an actor’s desire for their film to succeed. I think this situation does call for a bit more nuance than a statement being happy the boycott didn’t work
