I think now that anyone can make Marvel style visuals we’ll see some really interesting stuff, maybe with a grungier more ”handmade” feel. Since you can’t compete by going bigger and flashier you’ll have to compete by being more interesting and unique. That’s my hope anyway.

A weird side effect of seeing all these Hollywood blockbuster style AI videos is that I get less and less interested in watching actual Hollywood blockbusters.

It’s kind of like when someone makes a parody of a genre that’s so accurate that it ruins it and you can’t see/do it the same way again.

I guess I should have read the measurements and not just looked at the picture…

The last three Spanish films I’ve seen; The Coffee Table, Kidnapped, and Cell 211 have all been so incredibly bleak.
Spain are you ok?

Most disturbing film watched: Kidnapped (2010). Brutal and bleak watch. Some impressive technical feats like the long unbroken takes and a head smash that almost rivals Irreversible. But man, you just feel bad after watching.
