I love the intentional or unintentional detail on him (rightfully) shitting on AI while having typos everywhere during the video, just brilliant I LOVE HUMANITY.

As an artist, I can tell you that even dull movies can have great cinematography. It's about composition. Where does your eye go first? What draws your attention? Leading lines. Colors. Contrast. "Netflix" movies care about one thing. The story. The story could be great too. But it will always fall short compared to the movie with a little bit of everything

He made this video like one of the good movies

This video is genuinely one of the most refreshing things I've seen on this platform.

I have to say, I don't think it's possible for us to end up with the bad ending. With every action, there is a REACTION. People will always crave real movies, things that make us feel seen, make us cry, make us yearn to create and live and grow. With every 10 shitty, uninspired movies we get that get shipped off to the graveyard that is instant streaming, somewhere there is a kid sitting in their bedroom who is learning how to operate their first DSLR, or a teenager working on their first feature script draft. Sure we'll go through the motions, but with every "death", there is rebirth. Creativity has and always will prevail ESPECIALLY in the face of the things that threaten it (AI and corporate greed, currently) and with the amount of success we've seen in VERY young directors and artists just this year, I think we are definitely on our way to a renaissance. <3

One of the simplest ways I've found to identify if a movie is "good" is if I want to rewatch it again. Project Hail Mary is a perfect example. I actually might rewatch it again tonight. Because its so extremely good.

when I was a child, in the late 90s,  I wrote a little dystopian short story for class about a future where all movies would be spontaneously generated as an audience watched, and the generic characters and plot would be adjusted in real-time response to sensors monitoring the average reactions of people in the movie theater.  

(this was before we got streaming platforms,  so I didn't even think of how much more isolated the viewer could be)

And in my little kid story there was an underground troop of "thespians" who revived micro-budget theater productions, traveling around discretely putting on plays in hidden venues so the AI government wouldn't stop them,  because they wanted to keep control over all media, and not inspire controversial expression.

Anyway,  I hope the entertainment industry doesn't go too far in that direction.
Having an artificial system generate personalized stories to keep you hooked,  incorporating specific elements and faces from your real life could be a tempting gimmick.
But at the expense of authentic expressive connection with an artistic intent from fellow human storytellers.
Even if the quality of results appear polished,  there's still that intrinsic value of authorship that will be lost.
And investment in one system takes away from real creators.

you don't even know how happy I was to see the phm thumbnail from you, this movie is so special to me and I LOVE your videos so much.

You know times are changing when a good MINIONS movie released in 2026

9:25 and after that he went on to direct another movie about a man grappling with the consequences of his invention that won a war but destroyed something else

Yesterday I went to see spiderman bnd in theaters for the fourth time. I can't get over the visuals, yes the story and acting was great, but the cinematography and color-grading was unlike any marvel movie ever, Destin Daniel Cretton killed it. So many great movies this year and I can't wait to see what creative and passionate minds (like yours!) keep making

Coyote vs ACME was peak cinema.

It really comes down to us now, the audience, and our collective ability to develop a cinematic literacy so we embrace movies that treat film as art and refuse to watch those that treat it as a commodity.

this is exactly why I don't want Marvel to peak again like it did in the late 2010s. we're getting good blockbusters since Marvel started collapsing after Endgame and I honestly hope things keep going this way

Another underrated aspect that films like Dune, Top Gun 2, Avatar 2/3, EEAAO, Barbenheimer, SInners, and The Odyssey have in common: they're not just gunning for box office success, but awards as well.

The 2010's may have seen box-office records broken from the likes of Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar sequels, and the whole Disney-industrial complex, but they were mostly shut out from the Oscars in favor of the indie dramas, biopics geared toward adults, and even foreign language films. The 2020's class of blockbusters saw these and wondered "Why can't we be like that?" and thus sought to combine their top-tier VFX and production work with quality writing that gets them included alongside typical awards fare. They're combining prestige and popularity in a way that superheroes and bloated mega-IP's can't.

19:17 - Missed opportunity to hit us with "Movies that don't feel like content. Movies that feel content."

Spider-man gave me hope for the Doomsday rather than already having it written off.

This is when people grow up with amazing movies so their creativity starts to show

I guess I have a more positive attitude and pay more attention to Cinema's history, but I am not at all concerned about the future of movies. Hollywood is very, very cyclical. In it's most basic terms, the Hollywood cycle is that they find some trend that proves popular and then they make a series of those movies until people stop watching them.Then they move onto something else.
As an example, this current trend everyone is complaining about with "The netflix look." It wasn't so long ago that everyone was complaining about colour filters.

It brings such a big smile on my face when you talked about Kane's movie.
The Backrooms is... drilled into my mind like a mental condition.
