though maybe this was just a cool way to talk about a landing page to watch Lionsgate films but it is something far more exciting

lol fuck him up WEB

"Go out upon the street; choose ten white men and ten colored men. Which can best carry on and preserve American civilization?"
The whites.
"Well, then!"
You evidently consider that a compliment. Let it pass

anyway I don't care if you're a tech CEO or Tribeca Film Festival, you won't convince me that anything generated by AI can even hold a candle to the artistry of Little Panda Fighter

the only things Young Washington leaves unclear is whether George Washington killed his sensei in a duel, or held an opponent's wife's hand in a jar of acid

He’s cutting down dozens with a cutlass, he’s trick-riding off the side of his horse, he’s Legolas with a musket. He’s adjusting fighting styles on the fly, abandoning typical British stand-and-shoot fare for more modern tactics. Sometimes the film remembers that he’s also supposed to be doing all this while super sick, which only makes the climactic battle seem like the Founding Father equivalent of the Michael Jordan flu game.

I'm always skeptical of these anecdotes when researching stuff like this, but all the pictures from production of course feature the coat

brooks and lynch, the latter drowning in a big coat that brooks bought for him

lynch, the gaggle of actors playing the circus freaks, and, of course, the big coat

To watch The Elephant Man, with all its Lynchian oddities on the fringes, is to appreciate having Mel Brooks in your corner saying stuff like this to the money men

Paramount pressured the filmmakers to trim these dreamy freakouts, until Brooks put his foot down. “We are involved in a business proposition,” Brooks said. “We screened the film for you to bring you up to date as to the status of that business project. Do not misconstrue that as our soliciting the input of raging primitives.”

Forgot I wrote this screed against Disney's live-action nonsense back in 2024 www.avclub.com/mufasa-the-l...

On December 23, 1935, exactly 89 years ago today, Walt Disney sent out a memo to Don Graham, head of the studio’s internal training and orientation classes. The letter outlines what Disney values in an animator, and what he values in animation. “The point must be made clear to the men that our study of the actual is not so that we may be able to accomplish the actual, but so that we may have a basis upon which to go into the fantastic, the unreal, the imaginative,” Disney wrote. “A good many of the men misinterpret the idea of studying the actual motion. They think it is our purpose merely to duplicate these things. This misconception should be cleared up for all.” This is a misconception that Walt Disney Pictures is investing everything into, one placed centerframe by Mufasa: The Lion King.

The cult of photorealism is wearing me out

Moana is a shadow, resembling a real thing in shape if little else. It’s not unlike any number of theme park rides or rushed-out video game adaptations—merchandising designed according to someone else’s schematics. Hiring an acting student to show up as Moana to your kid’s birthday might actually involve more creativity, because that live-action version of Moana will actually have to engage with the wild imaginations of her audience. But these self-cannibalizing do-overs continue to make money, which means Disney’s efficiency at making them will only increase. A decade will soon seem like an eternity to wait. Eventually, Disney will be able to skip the animations entirely.

Young Washington declares that George Washington was chosen by god to be quite literally bulletproof. This is not the first time this claim has been made, mostly by wackos like the Joseph Smith Foundation, which illustrates the myth through hilarious AI images on its website
