The Ebert review of AI is one of the first of his I'd ever read and I came upon it shortly after my first watch. This has always stuck with mequote:A thinking machine cannot think. All it can do is run programs that may be sophisticated enough for it to fool us by seeming to think. A computer that passes the Turing Test is not thinking. All it is doing is passing the Turing Test. I see movies like the Creator and I go, "That's just an advanced toaster." I would kick that kid like a Boston Dynamics robot, and really how can anyone claim the two are all that different? It's also why I like Ex Machina quite a lot. That movie gets AI - how the average rube will get their lives changed (ruined) by it, but also how it's still just code with code bugs.

There was a killswitch, but Kyoko and Ava passed code to each other to bypass it. Kyoko was neglected, left running on their current version for too long as made too many observations, while Ava was fresh on a newly coded narrative about escaping that Oscar Isaac wanted to push on Domhnall Gleeson. A bug, essentially, and one borne of hubris. Isaac thought he could keep all the complexity in his head and do it all himself, but in his last push to make Gleeson fall in love and do something reckless, he himself got reckless and they both paid for it.

Watched May December. Fantastic movie. Made me want to crawl out of my skin. Very nuanced, but tackled some big themes. I never want to think about it again.

Funny People started strong but petered out when it got to Leslie Mann and Eric Bana. Movie was just too long, and a bit too unfocused. I liked the premise though and Sandler didn't bother me

I caught Morbius on Twitch and the Super Mario Bros movie on Twitter both due to stumbling on uploads that didn't last long. I feel like I have a much more positive opinion of both movies because of the novelty of that, even though those studios werent able to get money from me. However I think Sony and Comcast would much prefer I have a lingering positive opinion than my actual money, soooo you're welcome, movie execs

kalel posted:a few days after seeing the holdovers, I started to think about american fiction, and the fact that da'vine joy randolph's character in the former is the kind of character the latter's jeffrey wright would bemoan. her role in the plot is to suffer sufficiently enough that paul giamatti's character can look good for defending her, while also befriending him and praising his virtue (in contrast with how the white students and white faculty engage with him). it seems like the movie is intending to set up a tripartite drama but her relationship with dominic sessa is pretty underdeveloped. as a result the movie becomes mostly about giamatti and sessa in the final act while her story is self-contained and feels superfluous. her character is basically giamatti's character's magical negro. giamatti was nommed for best actor and randolph for best supporting actress. they probably shouldve given her something more to do/say than just hold the kids hand while he almost gets expelled

The irony of Ghostbusters is that the magic of the movie isn't the magic of the premise (ghosts). It's charismatic leads doing gig work with hijinks. You don't even need ghosts to make a good Ghostbusters movie. Sure, some kind of supernatural bent is what gets folks in the door. If it was just about mundane plumbing it wouldn't work, but magical plumbing? If you're leads can sell it then that's all it takes. Studios can't buy lightning-in-a-bottle charisma, though. Even the same players coming back under the same premise has trouble because the audience already expects you to clear a bar.

Sometimes I wonder if their are even spies anymore in this modern age. Or rather spies like we see in movies. I think clandestine agencies just rely on tech and hacking now, or if they need a human element they pay off a local to do some wildly dangerous eavesdropping as a one-off and probably get them killed.

A tale of a character rising above awful circumstance is not an inherent message that everyone can or should rise above that circumstance in the same way. If a "baby with a sex drive" rises above "the shackles of the patriarchy," the movie is not automatically saying "See? Any woman can do this." It might! But that requires additional narrative evidence. All it's saying, at base, is "This woman can do this."

The prequels were important to analyze because they represented a surprising inflection point in the franchise, and one from its very same original creator. It's obvious and very crass at this point to analyze why Star Wars is the way that it is, currently. Even the typically satisfying pastime of pissing on studio executives for being greedy is Bad, because those folks will lump those vids into "brand engagement" and still not listen to the salient points. You'd be doing them a favor and further solidifying its superficiality. The only way theyll change and take big swings is if people just stop talking about it altogether. Otherwise your vids, views, and clicks are all just more cement for the foundation.

Arc Hammer posted:It's never outright stated who is directly responsible for the rock or if it was a fluke but the Arachnids do have the ability to colonize other worlds via plasma and wormhole travel and they're much smarter than the Federation would like people to believe. Personally I believe that the Arachnids did throw the asteroid in retaliation for the "Mormon Extremists" setting up a colony in their territory and the Federation just let it hit Earth to justify an invasion. The underlying premise is that the bugs are simple creatures and that we could easily just get out of their way and establish a "let bygones be bygones" policy. Galaxy big! The movie even brings this argument up as something dumb and worthy of ridicule and so you, the audience, should naturally assume that of course they're lying and it's 100% possible. The bugs being a legitimate threat, even if we "fired the first shot" and they were just lashing out for survival, legitimizes the ugly fascism our society has to turn into, and undermines the message of the movie. All this to say... no. Of course they didn't throw the asteroid. It was obviously a false flag job.

kalel posted:different how? could someone point to the element of the film that's supposed to be different from anything that's come before? Well they're definitely not talking about themes, cinematography, editing, acting, or really any kind of artistic vision. Execs don't understand any of that and consider it all interchangeable and roughly equal in value. Their brains operate in demographics and timing. "Entice these people at this time." In that way, a female driven February superhero movie is I guess "different." They just assume that if they throw about 80+ million at something, the quality bar will come naturally to meet consumer expectations. So much so they've convinced themselves that meddling like "the bad guy should die to a Pepsi sign" won't put a dent in said quality because again why are are they paying these so-called artists if they can't do their jobs??? sure okay fucked around with this message at 01:19 on Feb 20, 2024 |
