The Eternaut was an anti-imperialist sci-if comic created by H.G. Oesterheld in 1957. He was kidnapped and assassinated by the U.S. backed dictatorship in 1977. His four daughters (between 18 and 24, two pregnant) were also disappeared. His torturers made sure he died after them.
Just finished watching the first season of The Eternaut on Netflix. An Argentinian (yes, Argentinian) sci-fi show based on an old comic from the late 1950s.
All I can say is wow! Fantastic story, characters & production. Can't wait for season two!

While a Youtuber released a 3 hr video cherry picking info on GenAi, elevating astroturf tech groups & claiming the lawsuits are faulty, in reality things are moving in a positive direction for creatives!
In one of the lawsuits, Kadrey v Meta, this is what the judge had to say
ALT "You have companies using copyright-protected material to create a product that is capable of producing an infinite number of competing products," said Chhabria to Meta's attorneys in a San Francisco court last Thursday. "You are dramatically changing, you might even say obliterating, the market for that person's work, and you're saying that you don't even have to pay a license to that person... I just don't understand how that can be fair use."

The final frame of THE LAST JEDI could also be the final image we ever see in a Star Wars film and it would be perfect. To me, this is the real end of the Skywalker Saga.

In honor of Alex Lawther’s birthday, I’d like to remind you he started his career in theatre at age 16 and has starred in Shakespearean plays such as The Tempest and Hamlet.
They chose the right actor to delivers one of the most important monologue on screen, Nemik’s Manifesto.

I know this is a losing battle and no one really cares about this but in George Lucas’s biography he literally says he made Star Wars about fighting an evil empire because the Vietnam war made him realize his own country was an evil empire. He also has Anakin quote Bush

The CEO of Spotify once said their #1 competitor isn’t Apple or Google, it’s silence… and I think about that every time I am forced to listen to someone else’s algorithmic scroll slop in public.

Thinking about how VHS/DVD killed theatrical re-releases b/c people could now own their favorite films, only for streaming to kill the physical media market leading to most people not owning movies anymore making theatrical re-releases more popular than they've been in 40 years.

If you use generative AI, you’re not a writer or artist. You’re presenting a stolen microwave meal and calling yourself a chef.
Hope that helps.

Miyazaki: “Good job.”
Yamamori: “It’s so short, though”
Miyazaki: “But it was worth it.”

If you use ai you intellectually and mentally lazy. That’s all. You are lazy.
Ai makes art free. No. AI robs you of learning how to do something. In learning how to do something you develop your voice. You are asking ai to speak for you because you are too lazy to face yourself

some people say star wars should be a western, others say fantasy. the truth is that good star wars is about just one thing: how fucking cool it is to be a terrorist

You have to be a heartless fool or truly, truly evil to think that firing cancer researchers, park rangers, and air traffic controllers is a better idea than compelling billionaires to pay their fair share of taxes.
