I bet it’s nihilism. Totally relatable considering the times we live in.

We have to stop asking celebrities for opinions outside of their actual competencies. They have too big of a platform to spew garbage from.

Award-winning filmmaker Nina Lee has revealed that studios are closely watching the box office results of ‘YOU, ME & TUSCANY’ before deciding to support more Black rom-coms.

“A film that has nothing to do with me could quite literally change my life.”

This can’t be real…

One of her best roles!

That seems to be the disagreement. It looks like an accurate uprez to me.

This isn’t really a factual discussion. It’s people debating opinions on how they perceive this technology. You just offered some low hanging fruit so I plucked it.

True but part of the goal of this filter is clearly photorealism, which it does improve on. I wonder if the art teams get to have any input on the output in their games?

I mean if you’re concerned about homogenization I hope you’re asking for more diversity in character design because RE has like 5 identical looking blonde women and I’ve been playing as some version of the same male character for 30 years. It’s been homogenized.

But in a game with strong stylized depictions I think it’s totally fare to be offended by an attempt to improve on that if it doesn’t have input from the artists.

That’s not an AI issue though. That’s more a question of commerce, capitalism and art direction. Resident Evil as a series is aiming for photorealism. So this tech application makes sense. Maybe in Harry Potter it makes less sense? But the uprez’d characters still looked stylized.

I’m wondering how many people genuinely think this looks worse or if opinions are colored by a broader opinion of AI. Yes, it’s bad for the environment, yes it hallucinates, bad for artists broadly. But sometimes it also slaps and we just can’t stubbornly deny the times it works.

The original is unrealistic and fake-looking too though… being a video game with modern limitations and all. This looks like a better version of an already fake thing.

Did you see a longer version of the effect that demonstrated that?

I understand the perspective of this article but it’s asking us to deny what we can clearly see with our own eyes in support of its anti-AI argument. The filtered images clearly look more real. The difference in lighting will be as meaningful as digital vs film to a casual viewing audience.

That’s not Aaron Pierre…

Isn’t the tone of this a bit snide for a proper journalistic outlet?

Love TNG but my god they designed the ugliest aliens imaginable every episode.

NEW YORK (AP) — Warner deems Paramount's takeover bid superior to Netflix; Netflix has 4 business days to counter.

Can we rule it out for him?

Major Issey Miyake exhibition opens in Tokyo Forty-five years of innovative fashion and design by Issey Miyake are on display at the National Art Center in Tokyo

I saw these at an exhibition in 2016 in Tokyo. It was my first intro to Issey and I’ve been in love since: www.dezeen.com/2016/03/16/t...

Forgive for speaking like we’re on twitter but what we believe and what’s reality are not always the same.

I work at an agency. Actors don’t have time for extensive research. Sometimes they’re offered jobs while filming another one. Her team may be more responsible for her ending up in this position as they curate these opportunities.

His explanation for why to shoot film was pretentious and vague. The Holdovers makes a strong case for getting a filmic look in post. There’s def a discussion to be had about how film’s limitations can contribute to create uses of time and direction. But we just got vague references to the “look.”

Because these policies aren’t just anti-poc/queer/women, they’re pro-cis white male (and white women to a lesser degree) policies at the expense of equity for all other people. But current language obfuscates how nakedly discriminatory this concept is.

@kimmasters.bsky.social @mattbelloni.bsky.social re: the latest The Business podcast. Can we discuss anti-DEI measures in a way that highlights the discrimination/absurdity. “They won’t promote poc” sounds very different from “they’ll only promote white people” but says the same thing and hits hard.

Fingers crossed for Poison Ivy.

James Cameron on how close he came to directing 1993’s Jurassic Park & what he thinks of Steven Spielberg’s adaptation. I love this for the honesty, modesty & graciousness of Cameron’s reflections. (It’s from the latest edition of the estimable Empire magazine.)

Do we really want that huge catalogue relegated to streaming, never to be seen on a big screen again?

Haha. I had that same thought. But somehow Stewart’s performance didn’t feel out of place.
