fleshmonk is working on Dino Doomsday

I think the sexual assault imagery in ST is crazy man idk

I guess its no different than alien, but again i think theres a huge disconnect between the intended audience and the product

Alien’s audience is adult and expect a lot of fucked up stuff… do the starbucks target crowd expect that from ST?

jenna ortega and people who go to the criterion closet get to showcase that theyre enthusiasts of the medium while they might star in movies that cinephiles may call dogshit

everyone wants to go viral for being knowledgeable and sophisticated

i think this is just a symptom of people's actions going viral on the internet and mattering more to their brand than the actual products they are making

to Sydney Sweeney's brand, growing more famous off interviews and red carpets is a net positive, especially if her movies are bombing

ok nah since when was stranger things this gory

SPOILERS

this show just showed a guy getting his fucking face impaled through his eyes and nose man like jesus christ

im desensitized but isn't this a little much for a show thats marketed towards like... all of america idk this shit aint pg13

can't believe they snuck a six seven in stranger things

here i am working on likenesses and someone can generate that kinda stuff instantly, its deflating and causes a lot of introspection

i've never been more intentional and thoughtful about my art and creativity until gen ai really came to the forefront.

that is THE question that people are grappling with: why do I make my art? Does it matter how I make my art? Is my art worth anything if something else can make it immediately?

Verbal Riot on X: "Like I said before, studios better start giving the fans what they want or soon we will do this shit ourselves. A.I. is only going to get better. The clock is ticking Hollywood! https://t.co/NrXPuLyYup" / X Like I said before, studios better start giving the fans what they want or soon we will do this shit ourselves. A.I. is only going to get better. The clock is ticking Hollywood! https://t.co/NrXPuLyYup

the video in this tweet is insane

there's a huge lack of artistry, intent, human touches, etc... but the immediate first glance is crazy, like wdym you made a video with jennifer lawrence, hugh jackman, and halle berry that looks realistic except for the animations???

x.com/verbalriotsh...

think about how many people who don't know all the negative effects and use it to generate all kinds of things

its insane and it looks cool but its also super dangerous and really bad for us, its like the heroin of technology

i wish we could put this genie back in the bottle

our capitalist society is simply not prepared for what comes next with the rampant data centers, pollution, energy consumption, electricity bill hiking, copyright infringing, etc...

like i am very well versed on how shitty this stuff is and i am still tempted to use it just to mess around

the new nanobanana stuff looks so crazy realistic and makes shit that looks genuinely real

just saw this x-men the animated series thing turned into live action and wow it looks so impressive

gen ai is the perfect level of seemingly useful/polished that it'll just collapse society

SPOILERS
maybe its like, going back to its horror roots, but i think Stranger Things is fundamentally not R-Rated, so i think doing Alien vs Predator Requiem style implanting shit via mouth while he's awake is really gross and disturbing. i understand this is like CGI will, but idk gross!!

those opening minutes to the new stranger things are a little too sick in the head for me, and i've been watching welcome to derry

True i guess trailers in front of movies count

Rush hour 4 monkey paw

Am i just unplugged or is there like zero marketing for Avatar 3

star wars 7 is just so fucking exciting

i wish finn didn't just fall onto the sidelines, man

Too late! I’ve scheduled Substack versions of the existing blog posts

Lets see how it goes

Wrote about why Sam Wilson matters to me so much
fleshmonk.btw.so/my-captain-a...

i think i'm just gonna migrate my blog over to substack, does that work for you?

not in a huge creating mood

more in a experiencing mood

dispatch is so good buy that shit now

shoot did i make invisigal too dark

#dispatch #invisigal #blondeblazer

Mamdani's First Loss Mayor-elect of New York bows to "national security." Will it last?

Good article by @kenklippenstein.bsky.social

I wish that there was a way for americans to see a future that wasn't so governed by fear and the futile grasping at a "secure" future

i don't feel safe when i see NYPD bag searches and people stationed at my local subway stop with rifles

Get the hell out of our neighborhoods!

Social media responses have always baffled me. I've put no effort into a piece and thought it wasn't anything special and it gets huge amounts of traction and then I'll post something I'm super proud of and it gets record low engagement 🤷 Don't let the numbers fuck with your mind

i honestly dont know what to do because the people are sincerely not here

i also like that more people are there

but also like the right wing nazi shit is exhausting

predator badlands good

frankenstein eh
