The Chronicles of Riddick (2004) is cinematic opera. Its aesthetics are deliberate and aggressively artistically indulgent. The events are guided by pageantry, choreography and emotional spectacle rather than coherency and complexity. A triumph. A lost art. Humanity spits in the machine's eye.

This whole "We can't commit to anything (Script, lighting, shot composition, animation, etc) because what if we want to change our minds later" culture is just terrible. And expensive! And hell on the workers!

I keep thinking about how the death knell for big budget filmmaking was, according to some VFX artists, the advent of CGI because CGI now lets a million executives meddle with a movie until the last possible moment.

If 48,000 drivers receive speeding tickets in two months, the problem isn't too many speed enforcement cameras. It's too many speeding drivers.

this is actually an old post from the other app, inspired by someone saying the M:I movies aren't imaginatively shot. I still disagree. the way Rob Hardy shot Fallout is so pretty & strange (all those the anamorphic lens flares!), it feels otherworldly - like a dream (or nightmare) Ethan is having

About 9 years ago (I remember that Obama was still president) Kurt Busiek & I did a rough mapping of a 3rd arc of Autumnlands. We brainstormed all kinds of cool stuff & we even completed 2 issues. They were in a flat file for most of the last decade. That’s long enough to sit on work so I’m sharing:

Tony Gilroy’s inspiration for infighting revolutionaries in start of Andor season 2 were not Jacobins or Bolsheviks… It was his son and his niece’s husband being idiots arguing at a family dinner. He even cast them in the roles. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

Two years ago I went on TV and said exactly this: The AI panic cycle was a marketing campaign by known billionaire failures, ultimately an excuse to revenge-fire workers with no immediate replacement. I literally said "The agita around AI is deeply cultural." Me no have TV job shortly thereafter.
