Isekai’d By the Trans Tram

And the new DuckTales was a pretty good show.

I’m pretty iffy on Andrew Callaghan in general, but the 3-hr interview he did with Hunter Biden was absolutely fascinating.

The New York Times is among the organizations from whom I’m least-interested in hearing views of or about Democratic Socialists.

Fuck them transphobes.

Revenge of the Nerds and Song of the South would be my quick go-to answers.

The company I’ve been supporting for decades…

Uh oh: Cruise has a producer credit.

Love him or hate him, Iñárritu makes some wild films. Since he started making movies that center a big star, he’s managed to keep them in front of the camera. DiCaprio didn’t produce The Revenant. Michael Keaton didn’t produce Birdman. Javier Bardem didn’t produce Biutiful. Daniel Giménez Cacho didn’t produce BARDO. They were all in those projects as performers.

But Cruise is putting up cash for this, and in the “retrospective trailer” they just released, it shows.

I like Iñárritu, but that trailer seems especially tacky. I’m not even posting it in the !trailers@lemmy.blajah.zone community; it doesn’t even seem like a proper trailer, just a look-at-me stroke session.

We’re in the throes of a few crisis in the US:

1. a professional backlash against the over-prescription of opiates that were advertised as “non-addictive” which was actually a lie,
2. the monster the above crisis created: a domestic population of drug addicts who are either seeking drugs themselves or looking to non-addicts to acquire them,
3. constriction within the health insurance marketplace, demanding more and more justification for care and drug access,
4. an entire political system that’s in the pocket of said industry who are incentivized to manufacture a world that maximizes health care spending while minimizing actual health care delivered.

The key word in the headline is “tools.”

They want to make “tools” that allow them to redirect the costs of employing storyboard artists and other craftspeople into the hands of tech companies.

And they’re trying to sell this to all of us by saying “hey, don’t worry, you’re not going to end up with a bunch of Nicolas Winding Refn-ass looking AI slop Sora movies.”

But ultimately this means fewer creative people making livings and more misanthropic psychopaths becoming billionaires. It gives the rich access to creativity without giving creative people access to riches.

I care more about that than AI slop in movies.

Mittens just wants to explain how worm holes work.

As a reminder, you can put googly eyes on just about anything.

A green-screen reliant remake of Tommy Wiseau’s 2003 cult film.

@BlueTea2@lemmy.world - This seems a lot more like an investor showcase reel/demo than a trailer (despite how the video is titled on youtube), so I’m going to pull it. Also, title doesn’t follow formatting guidelines. If crossposting into the Trailers community, please make sure to edit the title to follow those guidelines.

You also don’t have to be pretty or pass flawlessly to be an inspiration to others.
