And strive for a human touch. Do not strive to make a perfect gleaming stopwatch of a David fincher movie anymore. It is a dead end. And lots of people are racing down that direction at 100 mph

We are at perfect images. We are there. Do not be impressed with yourself that you can spit perfect video out on a computer. Do not be impressed you can generate a dude talking on a bicycle riding over lava. You don’t order from McDonald’s and call yourself a chef. Strive for the most unique voice…

Play the decades like notes on a piano. Want to set your movie in 2025 but hate modern cars, ok, fine, have a rule that no cars post 1982 are allowed. People will not think about it. You don’t have to make a period movie to dress the movie in the style you want. No one cares. No one cares…

Fight for entirely new aesthetics and visual language, that’s not impossible! Poor things, the substance, cough cough ahem *speed racer* these are projects with visual approaches that are harder to describe than “liminal 70s” or “film grain 80s”…

It isn’t enough to perfectly replicate an aesthetic anymore, there have to be some fingerprints on the glass. Ai cannot make mistakes, that is heralded as a good thing to Ai people, so recognize it’s your only window to proving something was human made at this point. Embrace that…

The only way to beat Ai is to let some true human shitty mistakes in. Cameras that don’t land perfectly on marks, focus pulls behind missed for a second, actors who aren’t also video game characters. Look at the intentional wonky camera work in “the holdovers” and you can see a path forward…

Ai video is SUPERBOWL COMMERCIAL aesthetics.

PERFECTLY manicured images lit to within an inch of their lives. Poreless actors. Squeaky clean Pinterest set design. Ai is just copying what we were already doing. Squeezing so much perfected production out of every frame. It’s exhausting…

This my favorite bluesky account

It’s also still the ONLY FF where you’ve got 5 party members at a time! Will they ever bring back turn based? I wonder if Clair has made them think about it

You can cheese Moorwing if you run back to the entrance and hit him through the platform below you when he flies up.
The save point is so far away from him I don’t care

Great read! Love Black

One the hardest baselines in Nintendo history

Shouldn't it say your MUSIC teacher and your gym teacher are ge-Whatever I don’t know good for them

That consensus sounds Ai generated

Great movie
The rare great movie song too

Your list was my favorite for whatever it’s worth

Read Ben and I’s picks here! We love movies! Also, what if Moneyball is actually deeply evil? We don’t mention that here, but it might be! Is It Follows to blame for lots of problems of modern day horror? Probably but we don’t mention that either! Is Speed Racer better than Fury Road- no comment!

My buddy summed it up as, “The people of the town are too busy on a “witch hunt” while an actual witch just skates by.”

The parasite thing is fun foreshadowing for sure, but “witch” being painted on her car seals that overall connection for me, personally.

I’m assuming you were stuck in construction and had lots of time to snap this

If you love Patrick Warburton doing his thing and movies about making movies this is for you! It was totally lost media for a while, so cool to see it alive again!

Wow! Can’t believe this is happening! He’s great in this!

Purvis and Wade out?

The Saved by the Bell peacock reboot was very funny and came from the same pedigree of writers as 30 Rock and Kimmy Schmidt

These 2k mods replicate the fuzz of an old tv broadcast and the smoke filled arenas of the 70s, and that’s all it takes to make me want to play these really dull and overwrought sports games. This is what it takes to make games look “real,” not 8k 9000 FPS etc

• Mach Rider reboot
• P.N.03 2: P.N.04
• New F-Zero
• Nintendo exclusive mainline pixel style Final Fantasy
• New Treasure game
• Vanquish 2
• Virtual Boy on Virtual Console
I dunno I could go on I’m sure it’s gonna be a bunch of ports

Also, when you are 28 min in to waiting and the 7th trailer starts, how does anyone have nothing but contempt for that trailer and movie now?
