Re: 70s movie discussion... the 70s had so many really interesting movies both in horror and outside of it. Sure, there's the more obscure stuff like Ganja & Hess, but for example Harold & Maude was pretty well-known and I still think about it because of how it depicted societal pressure and expectations with personal desires and Harold's and Maude's relationships to death as self-actualization. Or The Deer Hunter, which is one of many movies that tried to process the Vietnam War. Or One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, or The Network, or The Parallax View. Or Eraserhead, which goes back again to obscure and weird, or Suspiria for something non-USAnian. Like the overarching theme of the decade certainly had a lot of disillusionment and thinking about your own mortality or fragility and the relationship between the self and society at large coupled with a strong distrust. There's so much more there but as you said, this conversation starts at Star Wars but goes much, much further and much more personal! And for people dabbling into it for the first time, Id actually recommend Harold & Maude bc it is also a very fun movie to watch

The really cool thing about American cinema in the 70s is it was a reaction to the collapse of the studio system and the end of the Hays Code. So you end up with a lot of transgressive and more experimental cinema. In a very real way you could not make Last House on the Left or Jesus Christ Superstar or Taxi Driver as they are during the previous period of American cinema. In general in the 70s you have greats leaps for gay cinema (John Waters, Rainer Werner Fassbender), black icons (Shaft, Foxy Brown, The Wiz!), female directed films (Elaine May!!!!) Dealing with fallout from the Vietnam War and the Manson family, Cold War feelings (which would come to a much stronger head in the 80s), Nixon, sexuality, etc. Folk horror was huge (the meeting of the past and the present), there was an explosion of sci-fi movies concerned about tech and space.

(I've attached 50 70s movies for the people that just don't know where to start)

"WHO YOU GONNA CALL?"

... Doc Jyou Kidou, of course! And right on time for my dear friend @creepysora's birthday!

We've had a wonderful movie marathon on Halloween, so I thought, why not combine one of our mutual hyper fixations with their favourite Digimon character?

From the bottom of my heart, I wanna wish you a terrific birthday with lovely people, yummy food, amazing presents and the least amount of stress possible! Thank you for being such a wonderful friend, a kind and patient companion, wise and passionate. You deserve all the happiness in the world.

With you by my side, I can get through all the horrors out there with ease - and you can always count on me in return as well. 💜

Hey, a post on “How to recognise AI-generated art“ would be incredible and very helpful. Its disheartening to see so many artists not just robbed of their hard work and income, but also really emotionally distressed by it. François Launet (aka Goomi) wrote a lot about it too. There's no such thing as too much info! So please do make that post~

I'm a bit lacking in the vocab rn to get across what I exactly mean, but I've been collecting some AI pics in quality better or worse as examples. Currently I feel like any post I'd make would just be me saying "look at this stuff" in the thickest german accent imagineable in essence.

There's even signs outside of the actual picture tbh. Midjourney, iirc, pumps out generated pics in sets of fours, and unless a resolution is specified it is always perfectly square. You can then give input whether you want even more variations on one of them or upscale them. If I come across someones picture post here made of several perfectly square somewhat ethereal looking pics that all look like they could come from the same prompt, or feature the same thing in very slight variations but high quality looking, I know exactly what's up. It’s not even “the hands are fucked” or “it can’t draw eyes” anymore. I saw AI generated stuff that had near perfect hands but there’s always something about it that feels off that unravels on a closer glance no matter how high quality.
