AI Movie Gods Don’t Give Gifts Is Coming to Theaters
This could be a big deal. Gods Don’t Give GIfts will be AI-generated film to get a theatrical release in the US.
A fully AI-generated feature film is coming to theaters — and it’s already setting its sights on the Oscars.
Shooting for an Oscar right out of the gate, is a mistake. This is proof-of-concept. Just make an entertaining movie that doesn’t cost too much.
Youtube movie reviews are more entertaining than the movies being discussed. That depends on finding the right Youtube channels.
Hard Cut is a newer channel that is worth watching. The two hosts have good chemistry and banter, and are knowledgeable about film making. They are not fond of the WOKE trend in Hollywood, and call it out when they see it.
We are watching the trailer for the Brad Pitt movie, Heart of the Beast. Sparky thinks we should go see it because he is a hero, like the dog in the movie.
How are you a hero?
Extraterrestrials traveling in high-tech flying saucers contact a scientist as part of a plan to enslave the inhabitants of Earth.
Earth vs The Flying Saucers came out 70 years ago. The special effects aren’t convincing, but the movie doesn’t rely on spectacle. Nobody is fat, the cars and clothing are vintage, and everyone is competent.
At morning fellowship, I was telling Sparky about the Young Washington movie. He wanted me to take a photo where he looked like George Washington’s dog.
Young Washington is a much better movie than Nolan’s The Odyssey.
You might expect me to say that Young Washington is better because Zendaya is not in it. Maybe that’s true, I don’t know. The Indians were always sullen or argumentative, so Zendaya could have been one of them in an uncredited role.
Scientifically, Young Washington is better than Nolan’s The Odyssey.
I don’t recall the last time I watched a movie, and thought that I want to watch it again in a few days. That might be Begonia, with Emma Stone.
Even more rare is pausing a movie to think about the situation before seeing what happens. The Martian comes to mind.
For light entertainment, I often watch movie reviewers like Critical Drinker or Disparu on Youtube. Everybody talked about The Odyssey for a month, now they all switched to Spiderman: Brand New Day. It’s getting old.
Since my brother and I have been working out, when we talk about movies, he strongly recommends The Greatest Showman. I never saw it, Hugh Jackman is always good, and I am not opposed to show tunes. It’s got nothing in common with The Odyssey or Spiderman, so that’s what I watched. I’m worried that I may have a problem.
Is it just me?
This is a little complaint, but The Odyssey is creaking under the weight of so many little complaints, it’s hard to identify what Christopher Nolan was trying to get right.
I’ve hunted wild boar. I took it with a Mossberg 500 shooting a sabot slug at 120 yards. One shot, one kill.
After hearing about it for weeks, I finally saw Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. A couple of weeks ago, I listened to the audiobook of Robert Fagles’ translation of Homer’s The Odyssey. It was narrated by Ian McKellen, and was an engaging 13 hours.
