London based filmmaker working on folk horror, weird shit, punk sci-fi satire and stuff that exudes a cosmic darkness. Progressive humane human. Obsessed with phantasmagoria, perpetually dreich. Sometimes a numpty, always the odd one out. He/him.

Jesus Fucking Christ.

There is something in the air with every fucking dipshit malding in the most incomprehensibly stupid fucking manner.

Fuck you, Bill.
FB post from Variety on Bill Burr:

ill Burr slams Riyadh Comedy Festival backlash: "I don’t give a f*ck what all these phony f*cking people are saying."
“The general consensus is, ‘How dare you go to that place and make those oppressed people laugh, you f*cking piece of sh*t. I can’t believe you went to that place. I can’t find it on a map, and this bot said I was upset about it so now I am.' It’s one thing to wear clothes made by sweatshop labor. It’s quite another to go to the factory and make ’em laugh. I can’t believe how much anger I had about this issue after it went viral... [Performing at the festival] was necessary. It felt right afterward. I vibed with them and they were funny. F*ck, they were funny f*cking people. I don’t know what to tell you. I had a good time…

The unethical suddenly become uncharacteristically dumb and blind to the obvious when money is involved. Hope that beach home he buys with the blood money is worth it.

The main reason why Tony Blair has turned his swivel eyed gaze back towards the Middle East is because he can't believe he left some people still alive there since his last slaughter twenty years ago and he wants to come back and finish the fucking job.

For the avoidance of doubt I was talking about Jason Blum's shitty opinion, not Britt's...

This is bullshit. My mum called me up the other day to complain about all the AI adverts she's seeing these days. She can't tell the difference between SD VHS and 4K but she knows shit when she sees it. She said she can always tell it's AI because "they can never get the trousers right".

She's 75.

Jason Blum's take on AI sucks. an AI takeover isn't inevitable, and treating it as such (while also referring to filmmaking as "content creation," smdh) helps AI companies promote the lie that their deeply unprofitable, destructive tech is more powerful and useful than it actually is.

We're not investing in the art anymore. Cultural salvation isn't going to come from making artists steal from each other, producing uncreative sludge in a race to the bottom.

It comes from taxing the high income earners at a rate that's proportional and fair. We can start with the tech bros.

We're constantly being told that generative AI is necessary for low budget creatives to make their work, that we are potentially ruining these sectors at a time when budgets are being tightened.

Low budget creative work existed before AI. Our lack of support for this slop is not the problem here.

I'm excited for Limp Bizkit, but I'm a little worried about Antifa...
Question
I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city

There’s an interview going around about AI, so before there are any questions, let me state unequivocally that BLACK PHONE 2 is 100% organic. AI was not used at any stage of the filmmaking from idea generation, research, look books, writing, onscreen images - anything. We’re old school and love it.

When the nazis were coming into power, there was a lag before local law enforcement was fully on board. People were able to get police protection from nazi-aligned paramilitaries. Here, today, police look at rising fascism and say “Finally. We’ve been waiting for this.” www.notus.org/democrats/me...

The biggest injustice was this brilliant film not getting a theatrical release, run don't walk and watch it in its proper glory on the big screen!

Unpopular opinion but there really shouldn't be any political advertising on Youtube and there certainly shouldn't be any government funded ads. Even during an election on traditional media there's major regulation over what's shown and it's only ever funded by party donations, not government money.
