"Will AI ever live up to its <strike>hype</strike>?" Lies. The word needed here is "lies." And no, it can't live up to the lies, because they're lies.

A mastodon toot too big to fight in a skeet reads "My favorite Roger Corman story is one time while he was making a movie the sound guy came to him and said "hey if I bang out a script can I quickly borrow all our sets and actors and shoot another movie while we're shooting this one" and he said "yeah if you can do it in a day" and that's how Francis Ford Coppola directed his first movie before going on to make Godfather and Apocalypse Now."

Roger Corman, Pioneering Independent Producer and King of B Movies, Dies at 98 Roger Corman, who directed and produced hundreds of B movies and discovered Jack Nicholson, Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro, has died. He was 98.

Honestly, it might be impossible to fully state just how much influence Corman had in shaping Hollywood for decades. The man lived to be 98 and helped a lot of people who would go on to be A listers get their start, so hays off to Roger for that.

Super Mario Bros movie 1993 - initially inspiring this post this is a famous example of a "bad" video game movie while I kinda always enjoyed the Mac headroom ass vibe it had going and weird retro Sci Fi horror deal it was gunning for?

Street Fighter the movie - Also often clowned on and having its own psychotic production history I can't help but enjoy it's cheesiness and Raul Julia as Bison just absolutely stealing every single scene he's in having way too much fun

Mortal Kombat Annihilation - I actually liked this one more than the original and it's bad CG actually scared and fascinated me as a kid and the plethora of cut scenes that I now kinda wish were still around have crossed my mind plenty

Resident Evil the movie (the first one) - while ostensibly just an excuse for the director to put his wife in cool action movies I actually kinda enjoy the popcorn flick ass action these movies have and the weird lore deviations don't bother me nearly as much knowing just how much crack cocaine the ACTUAL RE storyline has infused into it...also may have had babies first lesbo crush on Milla Jovovich <3

Silly hot take: Bad Video game movies were more fun than the current "good" ones and the weird ass takes on famous properties was part of the charm and often just made them enjoyable for dumb child me

Perfect. No notes. The US has utterly outrageously lax data protection rules - and we’re home to almost all of the world’s biggest most dangerous, and most grotesquely immoral technology companies.

DID YOU KNOW:

In 1990, Warren Beatty made a Dick Tracy movie. But no one would let him make another one, and even tried to do a tv show without him. He got so mad he decided to find a loophole in his contract and get decades of petty revenge.

Every couple of decades, he makes a no-budget 20-some minute tv special where he complains to Leonard Maltin while wearing his old costume, and releases it unannounced in the middle of the night on TCM. This week, at 85 years old, he premiered his new one, called Dick Tracy Zooms In. He didn't even have to show up on set. However, he has gone to court to make sure that they legally count as sequels, and thus renew his rights to the character. He does this solely so that no one else can legally use the character for anything.

This new special will make the character his until 2027, when Dick Tracy goes into the public domain and anyone can use him for free.

This is art. This is some A+ Andy Kaufman-level trolling. I will never watch either of t

I looked it up and this is apparently true: Warren Beatty produces a couple of schlocky, low-budget short form films every handful of years so he can keep the rights to Dick Tracy as a Fuck You to the studios who fucked his beloved project from the get-go

AI company: we trained this dog to talk. It doesn’t actually understand language, but it kinda sounds like it’s having a conversation by mimicking the sound of human speech.

Screenshot from a scan of page 289 of an 1863 English translation of Don Quixote. The text is set in two columns. In the left column, we read in part “thou hast hit the point, Sancho, which can alone shake my resolution”, and on the right “thy share of the booty would would have been at least the emperor’s crown of gold”; by coincidence, these align so that the phrase “shake my booty” can be read across the columns.

Books designed to be read only by human eyes are different from books designed to be read by machines, which is why Google will tell you that the phrase “shake my booty” can be found in an 1863 English translation of Don Quixote.

This is correct. And yet while we are hard on these films it gives them a notoriety. Middlebrow Oscar biopics disappear into the aether as if they never were, and yet conversation around Manos: The Hands of Fate is likely to outlive me
