Grab some popcorn, and sit down. The show is about to start.

Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
Hey Doug, I ran across something a bit interesting I thought I'd share. You remember your complaints about the Shining in Ready Player One? Apparently they originally wanted to use Bladerunner, but couldn't get the rights.
Spielberg used the Shining sequence as a tribute to Kubrick, who was a very good friend.

Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
I just watched that last night, what a pile. I forget which part, but there was a moment that caned my nostalgia bone, but then I was whipped right back to, jeeze what a cash grab movie about dodging lamer cashgrabbers.
Also repost: Upgrade was a good time, not what I was expecting at all ^__^

Bring on the kung-fu amputees - no arms vs. no legs anyone? A bit of high-speed underground ninja-tunneling is always good as well. I wanna see some shit like that. Crazy monks with gnarly special powers can make any film good. FACT.
Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
Yeah I had assumed that Spielberg was determined to have a Kubrick homage. After all, this is the guy who finished an unfinished Kubrick film (A.I.)Dantes wrote: ↑Fri Aug 24, 2018 4:03 am Hey Doug, I ran across something a bit interesting I thought I'd share.

Blade Runner would have been better probably, sure
I would have used Casablanca

Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
Strongly disagree.
Nathan was a reckless fool.
Caleb was a feckless tool.
Ava was a checkless jewel

Emergency Awesome says the short list for potential Guardians of the Galaxy 3 directors is:
Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok)
Danny Boyle (Trainspotting)
Bradley Cooper (actor, this would be his first directed film, or possibly the second as he is set to direct a remake of A Star is Born)
However, other unknown persons may be under consideration

lol no more about AI safety
That movie was made with zero concepts of AI safety
If you were examining a robot, and the robot said it needed your help getting out of a room or something, you should destroy it instantly

Yep. People love to anthropomorphize & attribute human motivations to AI constructs, while Skynet chuckles softly...

They have suspended production because they can't do any more without a director, but they have not canceled the film

Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
Right but having it delayed indefinitely indicates they don't have a short list of directors they're going to get going on shortly.Doug wrote: ↑Mon Aug 27, 2018 2:32 pmI don't know what you meanFry Guy wrote: ↑Mon Aug 27, 2018 2:27 pmIt sounded like they weren't looking and had just shelved the thing for now.Doug wrote: ↑Mon Aug 27, 2018 1:20 pm Emergency Awesome says the short list for potential Guardians of the Galaxy 3 directors is:

Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
Finally saw the new Bladerunner. I've been sandbagging it for a while, not wanting to deal with the letdown of cashgrab sequalitis... but it was great. I'm on a good AI film thread, need to find the next fix @__@
