I bet most artists working 80 hours a week would rather be doing that than be jobless. Or the people who need to work those jobs to get to do other jobs they want in the future? Obviously the former is not acceptable but the solution is not AI.

One decision is surely going to piss everyone off

The problem with your argument here is the misguided assumption that a 86% verified audience score is good (Kung Fu Panda is a bad comp). It is not.

Next year could be the 2nd year in a row that Epic Games gets a shout out

WB doesn't even do teasers. Pretty much all their recent major movies had the first trailer (see their 2023 releases and Dune and Furiosa) around 6 months before release and no teasers beforehand. The only exception was Barbie.

No its not. Most of them are named "teaser" in name but are longer and show more of the plot than this did.

I feel like both still cause people to lose jobs (that's the main argument I see). Plenty of VFX artists (especially roto artists) losing jobs due to automation and AI. The main problem is AI will inevitably be used to cut corners in a multitude of ways in practically every film in the future. Unless people can get lawmakers to unilaterally ban the use of AI in media (not happening), we are going to be stuck with this. To me, the stronger and less complicated argument against it is the "AI vomit" bit (Miyazaki has probably made the strongest argument against this). The more extensively you use AI, the more you are taking the art out of your work. A film using a lot of AI-generated components will almost definitely be utter shit. The more productive discussion to have IMO is how do you incorporate AI tools in your film without losing artistic integrity (and to me, using it on a bunch of background elements isn't much of a big deal). Idk, I am against the use of AI in movies but there is a much better way to approach this issue than what I am seeing rn.

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?

Idk, I haven't played a lot of survival horror recently but it's nowhere near as well paced as the recent Resident Evil games or some stuff released around the same time like Outlast. Those games were much shorter too. I think Isolation should've been like half the length it was.

Good game but it was clear how the devs didn't have enough material for even one full game (all the android bits were so fucking slow and boring).

Ngl, Im really happy that were getting a new film directed by him but it's pretty funny that the only film that JJ Abrams produced film for WB deal that is actually in active development is Robert Mitchell's followup to Under the Silver Lake (the kinda film that would put most directors in director jail).

That is pretty much what it was though??? And probably the funniest slasher flick in decades. It just had a bit more to it because doing another film exactly like the first one just seems like a waste of time (especially when its the same director).

Why is Village Roadshow nowhere to be found in this trailer??? What happened to them?

Sorry Dune-heads, this is the coolest shot of the year in a blockbuster so far.

Looks like a contender for the worst movie of 2023. What an insane way to botch such a simple and wonderful idea. Would've loved to have lived in the universe where we got the Spike Jonze version of this (or had someone like Don Hetzfeldt make an animated version).

Well, we got a new reaction image from the marketing material for the movie. I'd say the movie is already a success.

Would really like Timmy to do a full blown action vehicle in a couple years. The last act solidified that Timmy has the same presence in action roles as former twinks like Cruise and Bale. He just needs to bulk up.

I feel like Blade's absolutely fucked when this movie comes out. The comparisons are going to be inevitable and it's not going to be in Blade's favor.

Do wonder what the framing device for this film is going to be. Based on the trailer, it's definitely leaning into this idea of Furiosa's origin being this mythical tale and that makes me really excited. Feel like we haven't had a Hollywood movie that felt like a geniune mythical epic in a very long time.

Whoever decided to use David Bowie for this probably made the coolest trailer choice I've seen in a long time.

It's pretty funny Miller seems to have brightened the film even further than it looked in the first trailer. Espescially in comparison to that Star Wars trailer where everything looks dark and murky.

I'm not even a big Avatar fan, but arguing that people don't care about Avatar feels quite literally like arguing that the earth is flat. You're pretty much arguing against a known fact with all the evidence in the world using nothing but conjecture.

Because disregarding the fact that those movies suck ass and maybe 1% of the people who watched those movies on Netflix would pay money to watch them, quite literally the amount of people who have seen those movies are much less than the number of people who have seen Avatar.

This has probably been mentioned before but it's pretty funny that Dune is going to be the highest-grossing movie since Barbenheimer, beating another Timothee Chalamet movie for the spot.

This reminds me. Would be really funny if WB has their best couple years in like over a decade for the next few years and they still end up getting sold for parts (very likely scenario).
