Incredible diss 🤣
this is why I love working at @VanityFair yesterday, I saw half our staff clustered around our fashion correspondent's desk poring over this photo. As José puts it, "The image has several discrepancies. The style and make of the Chanel Flap bag is inconsistent with others the brand has sold, and the Valentino shoes in question appear askew in proportion; their straps have several punched holes that the authentic Valentino style does not." AI image detectors confirmed that yes, Olivia Reingold used an AI-generated image to make her point, without a drop of disclosure. Wild!!!! vanityfair.com/story/midterm…

NYT is suing OpenAI for copyright infringement. NYT Cooking has an AI integration to tweak its recipes based on individual preferences. Comical contradictory behavior.

YCSE starts off with the editing rhythms of The Master and ends with a scene straight out of Phantom Thread. Considering the relationship at its center, it feels extremely intentional.

Excellent casting of Stavvy in TONY. Yet when a friend pointed out that he’s a discount Matty Matheson stand-in, I could not unsee it.

You could argue Johnson is self-aware because of the energy Stavvy brings to the kitchen. Real necessary player in the proceedings.

Think Mamdani should repossess Lincoln Square IMAX and make it a public entity at this point

This makes it look like a minions live action movie

I have a TikTok on filmmakers with day jobs doing much better than a reel on Chris Nolan. The Nolan short is doing numbers on YouTube - my highest viewed video by far. Lesson for filmmakers making their content there.

I hope this guy has the security he needs. Every video is a shot at the AI industrial complex.
The AI industry just invented a new job. Wait until you hear what it does.

Incredible recs that took me a year to figure out
I have very specific eateries associated with my theaters. My main ones: Metrograph to King Dumplings Anthology to Pak Punjabi Deli IFC to Joes Pizza MoMA to the guy who sells hot dogs on 52nd and Lex

They’re going for it. They’re really going for it.
There’s only one #ProjectHailMary — but there are many ways to experience it at the movies. Join Co-Directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller on their premium theater tour as they walk you through every format you can see it in. Tickets on sale tomorrow.

I went long with Ethan Hawke, who told me this gut-punch Peter Weir story. Gift link in the comments!
