Stories like this, where a few uneducated guys walk into a room with nothing and walk out having recorded a song that will burrow into the global subconscious and stay there, is the opposite of everything those AI guys think about creativity. It IS creativity.

Found the relevant pages, feels like an eyewitness account of the creation of the world, yeah that's hyperbole but holy shit

I’d happily read some well-considered conjecture!

Weird. You’d think if they wanted it to be entirely distinct, they’d have dropped “Reckoning” from the title altogether! Still the same threat from the previous one, too.

Interesting. I guess scripts change all the time in the lead-up to filming, but I’d be curious to know if the change from “Part Two” to “Final” necessitated any changes, cos that felt like more of a marketing call. Which I like! I prefer a distinct title to a “part two”.

Surely it was the same film just with a title change?

To be honest, me neither. This is very much “do as I say, not as I do” territory.

Agreed! Though it does stress me out when I come to list all the films I’ve seen over the year and separate titles by commas. I’ll admit to surreptitiously removing a few commas from titles for the sake of clarity. Also to feel something.
