I recently tripped and fell while running.
I mentioned this in a WhatsApp conversation and joked that I’m too old to run at 45.
Now I’m getting ads like this…
@blenderdumbass I’ve seen a lot of complaints that newer films/shows look dim. And now the new picture of earth looks less vibrant than the old one from 1972.
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 watched actors and directors
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.
