this movie has its moments, is well acted, etc but you will get a lot more out of Judgment at Nuremberg (1961), a stone cold classic about how a fascist justice system can itself be put on trial in times of necessity
Great time to release a good old Nuremberg Trial movie

Remember the HUGE stink consumers made just this year when Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel?

If Paramount wins the WB bidding war or attempts a hostile takeover, we need that exact same energy, if not more. Boycott EVERYTHING from them to the point where they lose tons of money.
21st Century Fox being bought marked the death of a major movie studio. We can’t let this happen again. Skydance cannot buy WBD. Any chance of a hostile takeover is bound to happen unless we raise our voices and concerns.

Deniz Camp's run feels like Marvel's Andor. It shouldn't exist. I feel like I need to smoke a cigarette after each chapter despite never once smoking. It so blatant in fury and political messaging that it feels like the mouse forgot to squash it in the editorial office

It is glorious

Mark Miller Ultimates: wouldn't it be hilarious if Hulk was a horny cannibal

Deniz Camp Ultimates: here's my thoughts on collective living, resisting fascism, nuclear testing in Hawaii, the prison industrial complex, and the concept of destiny. Together on our own, the journey shall be made.

The year is 2036. It's a tight Presidential race between Democrat nominee AOC and Republican nominee Nick Fuentes. Fuentes wins because the leftists don't think AOC is "inspiring" enough.

Going off of this interview, that is impressive. Utilizing practical sets with some occasional blue screen helps to immerse the viewer.

I see that alongside Gavin having worked on the Prequels, he also worked on Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children AND Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey.
‘AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY’ production designer Gavin Bocquet says that the film primarily used physical sets instead of blue screens.

“The default situation was … blue screen … [but] I think [we used] 80% of the interior sets with backings.”

Okay so if you made a video and uploaded it for people to watch, why would you even be reading comments in the first place if all you’re going to do is hit an AI button to reply to them automatically lol

yes. i encourage everyone to find ways to watch random movies you know nothing about at least some of the time as a sanity check on your taste and a guard against algorithmic nicheification. you might find stuff you really like!
The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

Why the fuck would you do this for subs that already exist?????????
Welp, a second AI dub on Amazon has apparently been found, and it's a show that already had a perfectly normal (albeit non-union) dub: No Game No Life.

We all agree that these "dubs" suck.

But once again, that's not the core problem here. The quality will inevitably improve, though I personally doubt to the quality of a dub made by actual humans who care.

The problem is that these exist AT ALL. They're an offense to art, and always will be.

“Quiet piggy”

“You’re ugly inside and out”

“Are you stupid? Are you a stupid person?”

This is how the President speaks to female journalists.

The men in the room need to stand up for their colleagues.

Demand better.

Don’t let him demean women this way.

Please keep putting pressure on PayPal. Stories like this are becoming more and more common. Artists don’t deserve to lose their source of income over payment processors being puritanical/anti-small business.
I'm devastated, if I don't find an alternative that works with argentinians I'm contemplating the worst, I can't do regular jobs, art was my job for around 15 years
I don't do nsfw even when people insist me to

Yeah. It’s pretty much just reality now that the shutdown worked out very well for Democrats

They got their massive election wins everywhere. Got Rs on record voting no on ACA extensions. Supposed “lost momentum” was actually momentum right into Epstein

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

EVERYTHING about politics right now and MOST things about pop-culture all circle back to that inescapable reality: The same generation has DOMINATED consumer/pop-culture since 1964 AND political power since the 80s, and is about to be displaced from both for the first time in 60 years...
