“It’s so hard to get movies made, and in these big movies that get made — and it’s even starting to happen with the little ones, which is what’s really freaking me out — decisions are being made by committees, and art does not do well when it’s made by committee,” she added. “Films are made by a filmmaker and a team of artists around them. You cannot make art based on numbers and algorithms. My feeling has been for a long time that audiences are extremely smart, and executives have started to believe that they’re not. Audiences will always be able to sniff out bullshit. Even if films start to be made with AI, humans aren’t going to fucking want to see those.”
Wow that’s funny because my feeling has always been exactly the opposite. It’s why quippy, vapid bullshit like the Avengers and star wars is so popular.
Fine art only people are so goddamn exhausting.
I love art but sometimes art is bullshit I can watch once and that’s ok. Other times art is shit like avatar that I’ll watch over and over as comfort tv for life because it’s good enough to be worth it. And then other times I’ll gladly spend 4 hours watching the first 2 hours of a 3 hour video on twilight because it’s very artistically dense and my wife and I need to keep discussing the bits of it. Not everything I watch can be the latter, some of the stuff will need to be the former.
Wait a sec. Obviously you’re not talking about Avatar… but are you talking about Avatar, Avatar, or Avatar?
Obviously Rama
Nah Aang and Korra
Natalie has hit it out of the park with her last several videos. Always worth the wait.
Bruh sometimes you need to feed the caveman part of your brain. Smart people know that. The unga bunga spectacle is why you go.
I think there’s different audiences. You’re referring to a general, mainstream audience, while I think she’s referring to an audience that would be interested in an artsy film going into it.
I don’t think anyone believes Madame Web was supposed to be an artsy film.
I honestly haven’t seen it but I think the point still stands that there can be different types of audiences with different tastes. It seems like she’s afraid everything is going to go the route of Star Wars and Marvel.
I have room in my heart for both Paul Thomas Anderson films and Infinity War.
Just because I like a good wine and cheese party doesn’t mean I can’t also appreciate a day at the amusement park.
“Do you post as ‘Magnolia_Fan’ on MoviePoopShoot.com?”
Gonna have to agree here, how else could a movie like Beverly Hills Chihuahua get made and also have two sequels.
Also, while AI wasn’t as good as it was 8 years ago check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LY7x2Ihqjmc
Unpopular opinion: Beverly Hills Chihuahua knows that it’s a stupid movie and leans into it. It’s actually kinda funny.

That’s fair, and I should feel embarrassed that it was the first example that came to mind when there are so many better examples.
