    I have to say the outrage over the slight use of AI in the new David Dastmalchian movie might be the most performative thing I've seen in a long time. Wait till you tell these people movies with extensive CGI have used automated processes (not AI but pretty much has the same impact in terms of cutting jobs for artists) for a long, long time. Dune 2 used AI too. Where's the outrage for that?

     

    It's the difference between using AI to augment a visual effect and using it to literally generate an image that the creators could have tossed a few bucks to any artist to design, with the benefit of it not looking like AI vomit.

    I'm reading Tolstoy because all my friends were reading Dostoevsky last year. Wanted to be different lol. But I did read White Nights last year and it probably contains the most accurate portrayal of unrequited love ever

     

    Haven't read but Visconti's 1957 film based on it is quite good.

    Just realized Marion Cotillard hasn't had an on-screen appearance in a Hollywood film for 8 years now (only a voice role in Dolittle since). I really thought she was in more recent Hollywood stuff but I guess it's just because I saw her in Annette a few years back (which is is entirely in English but is a French production)

     

    There was nowhere to go after this @MrPink

    Roger Ebert’s Review: ""Dead Poets Society" is a collection of pious platitudes masquerading as a courageous stand in favor of something: doing your own thing, I think. It's about an inspirational, unconventional English teacher and his students at "the best prep school in America" and how he challenges them to question conventional views by such techniques as standing on their desks. It is, of course, inevitable that the brilliant teacher will eventually be fired from the school, and when his students stood on their desks to protest his dismissal, I was so moved, I wanted to throw up."

     

    bwahahaha go off king.

    Another film that only I voted for, this one I saw specifically for this list. It looked interesting enough from the description, but I was still surprised about how much I loved this. Also a 90's film that feels more topical than ever.

     

    It's a fantastic movie, and I miss this Alexander Payne. I'd have voted for it but I excluded the output of Miramax and 20th Century.

    Paul Thomas Anderson has rounded out the cast of his latest feature. Alana Haim, who made her acting debut in Anderson’s Licorice Pizza, and A Thousand and One break-out Teyana Taylor have been added to the cast, along with Wood Harris and Shayna McHayle.

     

    Newcomer Chase Infiniti has also joined the untitled feature, which is currently in production and, as previously announced, stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn and Regina Hall. The plot of the film is being kept under wraps.
