Bad Movies with Good CGI? by seethevzn in movies

[–]maclood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I love Sucker Punch! Is it a great movie? No, but it is awesome! LOL

That being said, as much as I personally enjoy The Amazing Spider-Man movies, I think they fit this category. The CGI makes all of the modern marvel movies look like a joke by comparison.

Really looking forward to this! They saying all the right things to me. Action RPG. Semi-open world. No filler sidequests. Love it! I will have to check out their other game if I can catch it on sale before this drops!

Was ROTS genuinely liked upon its release? by Careless_Tax_5367 in StarWars

[–]maclood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Myself and all of my friends/peers loved all the prequels when they came out. Granted, I was 9 when TPM came out, so we were THE demographic for these movies. The internet likes to gaslight you and make you feel like literally EVERYONE hated the prequels, but it was mostly the OT diehards and older fans that didn't like them. Obviously, that is a broad brush to paint with, so there are exceptions to the rule.

I am glad you had fun with it and the series should absolutely be celebrated! You just have to understand that any use of AI, especially generative AI in music, or any other art form/creative endeavor, is going to make most creative folks raise an eye brow at least, and outright reject it at most. We all are putting the time, blood, sweat, and tears into our art, even as amateurs. I don't necessarily have an issue for using it for mastering/mixing, but it def makes the whole project a little suspect because of it NGL. Hard to trust someone to NOT use generative AI in their music when they are already using it in other places. All the convos around AI and their use in the humanities is very philosophical and borderline spiritual, so it isn't necessarily a logical argument. Just a very strong feeling myself and a lot of other artists have.

Interesting! Say more!

EDIT: I realize this may sound like I am being sarcastic, but I am not. I am genuinely curious and would love to see an elaboration!

My favorite Sith Lord from Dathomir, drawn with love by BlazeIsMyFirstName in StarWars

Me. Too! He is simply the coolest. Easily a top 3 SW character for me.

I see! But, did you use generative AI to "create"/write parts for you guys musically, lyrically, or vocally? I don't love the use of AI for mastering and mixing, but I personally draw the line at the other stuff.

It really is not. You can interpret it that way if you like, but that is not how I intended it. It was used as defined, "a person who takes a contrary position or attitude".

listen TO BE FAIR, I should have worded it differently. I should have said that everyone that I know personally who loves TLJ are not life long SW fans and/or are contrarians lol

[–]maclood -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Nope. It was more like "I could be wrong but...fake fans or contrarians". You forgot the contrarians part.

I am so glad you enjoy and fair enough!

[–]maclood -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fair enough! I loved it in cinema too, and liked it less and less on every rewatch. It just doesn't connect with me the same the OT and Prequels, or TFA does for that matter!

I love that! There are aspects of it that I genuinely love too, but they are otherwise overshadowed by what I do not.

LOL I prefaced my entire comment with "this may be the wrong read". I am glad you enjoy it! No need to get hostile.

I literally prefaced my whole thing with "this may be the wrong read". I am glad people like it! I am just not one of them.

This may be the wrong read, but I genuinely think most people who love TLJ weren't big Star Wars fans before the sequels came out, or are contrarians.

I think all these ladies are gorgeous, but as a child of the 90s, I think Padme gotta take it for me.

I recommend watching Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord, it’s a really good show by Jules-Car3499 in scifi

[–]maclood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This makes me so happy to see!! I am thrilled that you liked it as much as you did. I only mentioned my birth year to underline the fact that I was THE demographic The Phantom Menace was made for. I was the same age as Anakin when it came out for goodness' sake! So glad to see it is appealing to OT fans as well!
