There is nothing sadder and more disgusting at the same time as Paul Schrader, who, on the threshold of his 80th birthday, promotes generative AI slop on Facebook day after day. His more famous friends are no better either. Shame on them. These people have ceased to exist for us. #FuckAI
True, anyone who knew and worked with the late, great Stan Winston can attest to that. We're sure Jim Cameron feels the same way. *SarcMark* The crew of Terminator 2: Judgment Day made a T-shirt out of Cameron's on-set insults used during filming. *Sorry, we couldn't resist* #Filmsky 📽️
