I made a new sapphic cinema video (with more films!)

I think they should remake How to Marry a Millionaire but this time they call it How to Bury a Billionaire and it’s about Lauren Bacall, Marilyn Monroe, and Betty Grable murdering the oligarch class

I feel like it’s time for another tournament but I’m out of ideas. what kind of polls would you like to see that are just so so sexy

[therondoudou]

Ok ideas off the top of my head depending on what you are interesting in doing:

Sexiest scene

Sexiest dance scene

Sexiest director (gender neutral)

Sexiest costume (separated by gender or everything together)

Sexiest line of dialogue (either the text itself or as in sexiest line reading)

Sexiest movie title (idk what I think this means but I'm suggesting it anyway)

OK WAIT

We are talking about princess bride so I need to share my favorite fun fact about the movie because it has been rotating in my brain since I found this out like 7 years ago:

Did you know that famous French New Wave director François Truffaut tried to adapt Princess Bride before Rob Reiner finally tried and succeeded?

Like can you imagine Princess Bride but by the guy who made Les 400 Coups ????????

One of my friends and I have been trying to think up who would be in François Truffaut's Princess Bride for years but we keep changing our minds between our personal choice, best choice, most likely choice and most unhinged but still possible choice

I may or may not have once met one of Truffaut's grandchildren but it was in a professional setting so I never asked them if they had any insider info about who FT was planning on casting and I have lived in regret ever since

it is genuinely so disappointing to me how so many journalists have fallen for the hype talk around AI to the point where they're writing articles about AI "resurrecting" Val Kilmer or saying "the late actor will play the character." their fucking job is to explain concepts to people and for some reason SO many writers, from up and down every section of the new york times to the guardian to everywhere else, continue to parrot the cheap phrases of the AI tech bro developers, implying to their readers the AI will legitimately do exactly as the dead original would. "resurrect." "will play." they're gonna upload some scans of a dead actor's face and an algorithm will figure out roughly how to string the pixels together. then the director and producers will tweak that however they see fit to get the performance they want. all they're doing is making a new CGI character that's copied off the look of a dead man. this is basic stuff made possible by a bot that's great with patterns and yet again and again I read articles—not ads! articles!—that frame this as a machine capturing the soul of a person, that imply this thing THINKS. journalists do your fucking jobs you're doing the hype work for the ai conmen

It's so so dire!! Acting (or any art, really) is not and never has been about only "technique", an actor is not just using their face and voice to a certain measurement to perform a certain emotion. Purely mechanical actors are bad actors, and even then, at least they're still actors. Acting comes from trial and error, from experience, from emotions, from how that unique actor is feeling in that unique way that unique day, basically from being human, all things that an environment-killing machine doesn't and can't do. So when you do that for a real person who is now dead???? Puppeteering their face in a completely gross way just because you can ?????? Even if you don't believe in the concept of soul you have to understand that everything about an AI acting performance is lacking in the basic humanity that makes art what it is.

If you want to see a machine do crazy work, go stare at a calculator and leave art alone

CHRISTABEL (2018) dir. Alex Levy-Heller The only daughter of a rural worker, Christabel finds Geraldine, a mysterious woman, who says she's been attacked by men and needs help. Pure and innocent Christabel gives shelter to Geraldine at home. From then on, the two women relate to each other in a way that Geraldine has a great influence over Christabel, destabilizing her convictions and promoting tradition rupture, but that sparks a feeling of passion and freedom never experienced by the young girl before. Based on the 1816 poem Christabel, by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. (link in title)
