The thing about Frankenstein is that he’s pretty chill if you don’t chase after him with a flaming torch which is relatable

Karloff's Frankenstein is so appealing, so melancholy and gentle when he's not being tormented. He's amazing isn't he.
I think it's a pretty good movie but he and his costuming and the general look are incredible.

I read about this clip of Harry Connick Jr fixing an audience clapping on the 1 and 3 instead of the 2 and 4 and when I first put it on, I was like "Oh no I don't get it" but then it clicked and holy shit.

Now I can't stop watching it, it's magic.

It is a beautiful, clear day. Most of the trees have not begun to change color. The heat index is 90°. Seasonally, it’s basically still late summer. And yet, I heard Christmas music at the gas station. It’s not even Halloween.

The translations will be terrible but the important thing is we won't have to pay translators.

The 2025 Frankfurt Book Fair heard that developments in AI audiobooks mean publishers will no longer have to decide whether to translate a book, but instead just choose which market to translate into 👇 #FBM25

If you compare being anti-AI to being racist you are a dickhead of the highest order. Full blown unmitigated dickheadedness. Your opinion on anything at all is now null and void

Hi new folks,
I post about movies (Mostly old)
I post photographs
(Mostly dumb)
And I talk about TTRPGS
(So many)

If I don't follow you back straight away just interact somehow so I know you're there.

(If you *only* post US politics I might not follow back, my feed is pretty full on that front)

Hey @darklongbox.com
I have no idea if this article is any good because I closed it after seeing what looks like AI Slop portraits of the directors on the list.

Haha, man I haven't turned down a job since AI got popular, except stuff I can't ethically do, like promoting crypto, bigotry etc.

That luxury is over.

We're all taking what we can get out here now.

As I find myself adding more accounts to my block list today, I will take a moment to shout into the void the reminder that if it's AI generated, then it isn't art.
Art is created by people through effort and creativity and inspiration from other people. GenAI is theft. Ai is not art. Never will be.

You want to talk to me about an idea from a human? I am probably interested.

I've encountered an attitude of "Ok yeah I GET THAT the villain is bad, but those ideas had to come from somewhere, so whoever wrote this is sus"

Shelley Duvall in a still from The Shining. She is staring off into the distance radiating disillusionment and perhaps ennui, a forgotten cigarette in her raised hand.
