"The c-suite, the shareholders and our parent venture capital company feels the ROI on creating new things is not as high as that found in replication of previously successfully patterns."
"It’s easier to pay homage to something that’s been well received than to come up with something new and original." This article is about style but see also books/movies/art/music et-fucking-cetera. www.dazeddigital.com/fashion/arti...
Will nostalgia be the defining aesthetic of the 2020s?
From Hedi Boys and King Kylie to Margiela Futures and #swag, fashion is stuck in an endless remix of bygone eras – but can we ever escape the loop?

"... (nostalgia-based fashion) is the other side of the coin to AI, both recycling rather than creating, consuming what exists instead of engaging critically or imagining something new."

One of the many, many reasons that @montecookgames.com will never use AI artifice in our games.

Real artists, real creators, real human souls always. (Not that we would EVER use human souls in the creation of our products. Ahem. *coughs* *side-eyes the devil*)

Day 16 of the #NoirvemberChallenge: Lesser-Known Film Noir Everyone Should See - Woman on the Run (1950) - Rescued by the Film Noir Foundation, its an amazing film with sharp performances, great location shots, and a great twist.

Keep coming back to Summers’ annoyance that this female mentee he’s trying to sleep with “takes her presentation very seriously.” To men like this—to a lot of men—women’s intellectual or professional ambition is an irritating presumption that they condescend to tolerate.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

I'm so glad Kurasawa went to black. And I love the way Eddie breaks down the "High" and "Low" sequences. #NoirAlley #HighAndLow #TCMParty

The glasses, the reflection, and the flowers. Gods, masterful work. And I love the contrast between the music and the intent. #Noiralley #TCMParty #HighAndLow

This is one of the most brutal of human condition noirs.
Welcome to Hell. The Low part of #HighAndLow - it makes the flophouses in most US #NoirAlley entries look like prime real estate.

I half expect to see Elisha Cook Jr. on the drums in this place. Love that they're using the dance for the deal. And yeah, , this is a shooting gallery right out of a neo-noir #NoirAlley #TCMParty #HighAndLow

The sudden shot of color startled me. And the junk man ties things to the hospital again. Think we got ourselves an orderly and kidnapper. #NoirAlley #TCMparty #HighAndLow

"Rising Tide of Sympathy and Anger." That's basically "Thoughts and Prayers." But, the coverage is diving our kidnapper to try and dispose of evidence... #NoirAlley #TCMParty #HighAndLow

Auntie and Uncle got medical grade hotshots. And it looks like our kidnapper was also their supplier.

"Uncle and Auntie are sleeping." Looks like the kidnapper is covering his tracks and eliminating accomplices.
