Now say it to your grandkids, Mícheál.

Somewhere on a Kerry Group production line, a man stares, in awe.

Everything that's happening right now, economically and politically, is being driven by men who think they'll 'do it properly this time'.

You're still not getting in the Manics loo.

I worry that we're close to a cyber attack on a major service that's just... never resolved. They'll just quietly shutter it and say 'I know you have records from before that date, but we just can't access them.'

I see Natalie Dormer, Carice van Houten, Saoirse Ronan, Cate Blanchett and Scarlett Johansson at the least.

I worry about what the plan B for this hardware is. There's always a plan B. Mass surveillance? Crypto? Social score tracking?

*Trumpet stabs*

You could burn money on stream right now, get significantly more engagement and probably do less damage to the environment.

Everyone's making bank and putting it beyond reach before the house of cards comes tumbling down.

KPop Demon Hunters is an extraordinary achievement. At every turn it makes the more interesting choice, and nails the landing each time. Add to that some cracking songs, exhilarating editing... and an unexpectedly moving central story. A tour de force.

"It's the BOOTS!" 😄

A woman, Genevieve Artadi of the band Knower, sings onstage in front of a starfield backdeop. She wears a red dress, black tights and sleeves with fuzzy boots.

Genevieve high-fived me! #Knower

Now, now. Maybe they're photographing it with a 5,000mm lens, from 200 metres underground.

Immediately after: "Ah! Jesus! What the fuck?!" (rubs eyes)

I did have plans for the day, but now the cat is sleeping on my lap. Oh well.

Picture game is on point. Just perfect.

It's like the Hallmark Channel version of Spotlight.

Everyone credits Birdman with his career resurgence. I reckon it was this.

'I feel broke.'

The meme of Princess Leia and Han Solo from The Empire Strikes Back where she says 'I love you' and he replies 'I know' with captions suggesting she is saying 'You are breeze in desert for me. My water. and ocean. Meant only to be together tiger.' and he is replying 'Ok.'

Right? Right.

President. In bed (minus brain)

Are we forgetting the wine bottle scene? That traumatised me in my 30s.

D'Angelo saw the strings, but String saw D'Angelo...

They don't care. They don't care. The people driving SUVs don't care about anyone or anything outside of their vehicle. Their driving habits, attitudes and ability are all reflective of this. They will kill you, and blame you for your own death. They don't care.

Agreed, but I think he's being disingenuous when he blames VFX primarily for that inflation. And I'm a fan of the man.

A scene from the film Avatar. A close-up of Pandoran warrior Neytiri. Her face dressed with war paint, she grits her teeth as she draws her bow.

This was the shot, by the way.

Even with a dataset entirely trained on existing assets, GenAI will be useless to Cameron. He pushed a VFX shot in the first movie to 96 takes. Not a live action shot, a VFX shot. Nothing I've seen of GenAI suggests an ability to iterate with that precision and specificity.
