Premee is 100% right: this is why I try to call them LLMs instead in my podcasting and writing. It’s not AI in any sense of how the term has been used since the concept was invented in 1955

I’m sorry I don’t feel much pity for killing something that doesn’t need to eat or pay rent, unlike, say, artists.

I’ve always thought that the real villain of the Alien franchise is Weyland-Yutani, personified by the cold, unyielding algorithms of AI (except Bishop, my love). The Xenomorphs are just a force of nature, creatures doing what they do.

The way the narrator for Mark Harris’ PICTURES AT A REVOLUTION: FIVE MOVIES AND THE BIRTH OF NEW HOLLYWOOD audio book says Albert R. Broccoli’s name is deranged. “Brah-col-lee,” emphases on the first and last syllable.

Everything about this is a tragedy, every level, from cheated freelancers to authors obscured to readers who don’t get served either.

Writing about Godzilla will make you a better writer. Try to write 1,000 words about Godzilla as a challenge. You will quickly understand how difficult it is to write a singe sentence other than, "Godzilla is fucking awesome.".

Highly recommend watching all of the Mission: Impossible with a friend who has never seen them before.

I’ve been immersing myself in some of Ishiro Honda’s deep cut catalogue, and I’ve got the beginnings of an idea for an article about his long term collaboration with Eiji Tsuburaya on incredible practical effects. Is this of interest to anyone?

“Because it was made using techniques long since abandoned, the film has a unique feel, dated but innovative, a tribute to the sheer creative process of this era.” Read my article on the technical marvel of Doctor X at @moviejawn.com!

I saw Friendship at the PFS SpringFest in a wonderfully enthusiastic crowd, and I wrote a review of this deeply funny and uncomfortable movie about making friends when you are an adult.

In episode 04, we discuss 1965’s Thunderball. Terence Young returns to direct Sean Connery in the most ambitious Bond film ever. The new No. 2, of SPECTRE, Emilio Largo heists two nuclear bombs and threatens major world cities unless NATO pays a ransom. #JamesBond www.moviejawn.com/payattention...

THUNDERBALL is here! It’s the first film we had a significant disagreement about in terms of quality, so there’s some debate in this one.
