That counts too imo. When people say “seems like ai” it’s just a mismash of everything slammed together into a barely incoherent manor.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:if you say "like an AI generated it" in 2023 i'm going to assume you mean actual SEO-optimized gibberish and not, like, that meme from a decade ago where you pretend a computer made your not-very-funny parody of something popular This explicitly doesn't seem to be written by an AI to me because it goes back to finish an earlier thought (why the guy would be out picking berries) and doesn't just "yes and" itself onto some weird tangent. Doubling back from talking about strange occurrences to expounding on berry picking is clunky writing and maybe even a weird line read or edit, but doesn't immediately make me think "yeah an AI wrote this" as if there wasn't bad writing before AI existed.

This is what I am saying. Why use a vague term like this when you can just say it's a sloppy mish-mash, or derivative, or blandly regurgitated, or any one of 20 other terms that narrows it down and removes any ambiguity? That's precisely what I don't like about grimdark, which can refer to tone, plot premise, characterization, setting, defiance of genre tropes...so much space there.

The Silent Hill thing feels like a bad writer attempting to copy the older games' surreal, dreamy mood without understanding how or why any of it worked

I don't know of that many blockbuster directors that create their own lenses. Dude really is one of a kind

Seems like Rebel Moon is trying to do to Star Wars what Star Wars did to Flash Gordon. "Derivative" sounds like a good thing to me in that context.

Only other I can think of in recent history is Evan Glodel for Bellflower. But rehousing older/specific glass into newer housing has been done by DPs for ages. Its not common though.

I like this lens more than the dream one he used in Army. It was certainly gave an unique look to Army but I generally didn't care for it and it had that dead pixel to it (I didn't notice but some people did). Everything I've seen from Rebel Moon looks incredible, though.

Look, I'm sure we all wish that Rebel Moon could be as daring and original as the Star Wars sequels....

Saw this post from the Dune thread:Philthy posted:The banners freaking rule. Thats some Warhammer 40k grim dark poo poo. I am not making GBS threads on this poster when I say: what is grim dark doing there? It means nothing. You can just say "it's some Warhammer 40k poo poo". There's nothing grim dark about the banners.

"Grim dark" has been taken to mean approximately five hundred things over the years but lets not forget the term comes from a Warhammer 40k tag line. "It looks like Warhammer 40k" is one of the original meanings of the term.

It's time to launch a psychological warfare campaign by loudly and publicly claiming Rebel Moon as the newest entry in the "hopepunk" genre.

Uhh idk. He looks old man ripped, kinda like Jk Simmons, but not actually that huge. It's pretty easy to miss stuff like that depending on the clothes.

Surprise surprise, Rebel Moon is getting savaged by reviewers who seem to hate slow motion, Snyder's colour palette, and the general idea of ripping off Star Wars/Seven Samurai. I personally feel all those things are actually cool, really looking forward to this.

Can't wait for a hundred variations of parroted "Zack Snyder likes to make movies that 'look cool,' Christ what an rear end in a top hat" takes, followed by more original reactions that actually engage with the material, be they negative / mixed / positive.

That wrapped up the MoS watchalong. That was really fun. The film keeps getting better each time I watch it. A few lines are stinkers, the whole ending sequence does go on for a bit too long and there are a couple rough cuts but beyond that it's a masterpiece.
