it was apparently just for those "we'll be right back" shots. now that im thinking about maybe that was why it worked at being kinda offputting. AI ftw.

This is why AI isn't going anywhere. For all its flaws, there are always cases where "good enough" is good enough, especially if it's also much cheaper.

Late Night with the Devil wasn't great or anything but was surprisingly fun for a "found footage" horror comedy. the budget actually looked lower than a 70s late night show, but the performances really elevate what couldve been truly awful. didnt even notice the AI, dont care.

more or less the same take i have. it was fun, won't revisit it tho

the only reason they keep making "found footage" movies is because BWP made almost $250 million off a sub $1 million budget 25 years ago

I've never seen a single one that was actually good

it's not my favorite genre but BWP is interesting/novel for its time, moreso the social milieu of it, but REC is decent. i guess cloverfield was OK.

e: District 9 apparently counts as a found footage genre and that is a good movie. i completely forgot it was but I don't really consider it so.

in addition to District 9, Europa Report was pretty good (not great) too. so i think there are good ones but ones where it's not used as a gimmick

Late Night with the Devil was awesome and maybe one of my favorite horror flicks from the last couple years. The practical effects made up for the dumb AI images imo. the crowd at the theater where I saw it cracked the gently caress up at the million production companies credited in the beginning

It's really funny that one of the three main characters in the Fallout show is named Cooper Howard and there are plenty of lines like "You're right, Mr. Howard" and also he's the coolest character.

It's why people still talk about it today. The marketing had people talking before, during, and after release. I remember coworkers drawing in whiteboards about the path the group took explaining how they got lost etc firmly believing it was a true story.

It wasn't particularly spooky but it was novel

Hes the coolest because of the performance. I don't think he was written to be so likable Goggins just has that power. He blows a dudes leg off in the first ep, stabs a dog, slices rear end meat off a dead friend that he killed, sells a woman to organ harvesters, and on and on. He's meant to be a total bustard. Game producer self inserts are like Thrall

That's just Todd being faithful to himself in his self insert. He can do whatever he wants, because he's just too cool for any criticism to stick.

It's funny because I think he actually had some of the weakest dialogue in the show but Goggins absolutely sells every line he says
