If they don't care that AI filmmaking is inhuman and destructive to the environment, and our very souls they might care that it sucks? That every experiment I've seen with AI filmmaking has been awful? It cannot edit for space or consistency. There have been fun experiments but no real wins.

This article is in poor taste. It's no surprise that an independent fan film isn't up to studio levels of quality (though some manage that achievement). Why make fun of them?

The crossover between people interested in indie dramas and people who can still tolerate the Rock in anything...may not exist at all?

Hey, I was quoted talking about Shadowrun! (complaining, sorry, not that you would be surprised)

This, along with the Rocketeer, the Phantom, and the Shadow, was a part of a brief revival of pulp nostalgia that were kind of ignored at the time but hold up incredibly after the fact. Since then, they're focused aesthetics and tone make them so worth revisiting.

Writer/Director Alexandre Franchi’s indie thriller ‘The Wild Hunt’ starring Mark Antony Krupa, Ricky Mabe, and Kaniehtiio Horn made its debut in Sweden at the Lund Fantastic Film Festival this week in 2010. 💔 ⚔️ 💀 #OTD

One of the best RPG movies ever made, beyond being a great film in its own right. I keep hoping, maybe fruitlessly, that this will receive the reappraisal it deserves.

Truly amazing to get a literal sack full of fifty grand in cash from the FBI and then nothing else happens

California lawmakers pass SB 79, housing bill that brings dense housing to transit hubs After months of debate, California lawmakers on Friday passed SB 79, a housing bill that overrides local zoning laws to bring high-density housing up to nine stories tall to transit hubs.

Very sorry to not be a downer right now but we just got major housing reform passed in California. Automatic upzoning near transit that will make housing cheaper, more accessible, and more environmentally sound.

Art Installation Meow Wolf announces TTRPG with Exalted Funeral The game designers talk about the challenges of adapting non-literal narratives

I have only the vaguest ideas of how this will turn out, but no doubt that it's going to be extravagantly weird. I'm all for it. gamingtrend.com/interviews/a...

Please, I'm begging you, institute the Bulterian Jihad. A Carrington event. Anything to stop this cruel, ghoulish hell from getting any worse.

My hottest take about getting laid-as-politicsis it's downstream from housing policy. Nobody wants to have sex where they live with their parents, or have 1k roommates. We must increase the supply of cheap little apartments where people can bang 🙏

the high point of my being denounced as a neoliberal shill on tiktok is when i insisted that gentrification is downstream of housing supply constraints, and isn’t a quality inherently possessed by people you don’t like

Mother of Flies – Fantasia review A mournful, mossy spell of grief and devotion in the Adams Family’s return-to-form witchy cancer drama. ★★★★ Great news out of Fantasia for fans of indie horror powerhouse the Adams Family: their n…

MOTHER OF FLIES has won the jury award at the Fantasia International Film Festival. Well deserved - this is a major return to form for indie horror powerhouse The Adams Family, and might just be their greatest film to date.

Indie filmmakers, I am begging you: make an official web page or linktree for your movie. Some way to follow youw. Do you have any idea how many times I've tried to reach out to write an article on someone's movie only to find NO CONTACT INFORMATION available anywhere? Broadcast your talent.

We see this often with Disney. An indie director is given a massive budget. They may have problems handling that scope, but they definitely have problems pushing back against a C-Suite as powerful and disconnected as those at Disney. Then someone with vision and talent delivers utter mediocrity.

If you dig Art house horror, I played a bounty hunter Hank Ray in Zombie With a Shotgun.
Put it on your watch list my friends.

Alderman Daniel LaSpata of the first ward in Chicago speaks in the zoning committee about parking reform

🅿️ An ordinance that will remove parking requirements for new housing around transit has advanced out of committee in Chicago!

It will be voted on by the full city council as soon as tomorrow! Please call and email your alders in support of parking reform!

Thank you @aldermanlaspata.bsky.social!

"I don’t care how much you love working people. They can’t afford a house because all the rules in your state make it prohibitive to build. And zoning prevents multifamily structures because of NIMBY. I don’t want to know your ideology, because you can’t build anything. It does not matter."

Restoring Albert Pyun's Captain America — a lost hero returns The once and future cut shows us just how much an edit can change a film

It's not just hype, Albert Pyun's cut of Captain America is a thoughtful, touching movie that's remarkably different from the theatrical version. gamingtrend.com/editorials/r...

They definitely think it's a type of candy.

Fool. They should have slipped it in the middle, so it's surrounded by reasonableness and by the time you get back to it you've already softened a bit.

Games should give you the tools to continue to play them if/when they get shut down. You should keep access to the product you paid for

If any of my EU viewers agree, I urge you to sign the petition

Biplanes protect a floating city from dark gods in indie animation Song in the Sky An independent horror/action/fantasy that's far more than the sum of its parts

This was a long time coming. It's a majestic work of indie animation, standing out even when the medium is picking up quality all the time.

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

We're in the final stretch for the FAIRY DUST pre-production crowdfunder. Please help us reach £10k by pre-ordering the film and/or picking up one of our exclusive autographed perks, masks, film roles, or donations to the UK's Switchboard LGBTQ+ organization. More here: igg.me/at/fairydustmovie

Every movie from now on needs to include a threatening Irish jig if it has any excuse to and no I will not give more context.

Sending in a moment.
