Last month, job boards for actors were flooded with ads looking for people to record “conversations, character voices, and natural speech to help train AI systems," for a project by Microsoft. Payment was orders of magnitude more than a normal acting gig — up to $80,000, where a national ad campaign for a big brand might ordinarily pay $6,000. @404mediaco's Rosie Thomas spoke to voice actors about the "Faustian bargain" of accepting such roles. "You're still taking away tomorrow's meal because they're offering you a little bit more,” says Katie Clark Gray.

I've published a new essay on my website.
"The Stars Are God's Eyes: A Video Essay on To Live and Die in L.A."

Bon, mi è stato proposto di andare al cinema a vedere #StarWars The Mandalorian And Grogu.
Consigli? Vado? Lascio? Val la spesa (e la pena di *entrare in un cinema*!)? Meglio a casa a ricamare?

MOVIE REVIEW: "STOP! THAT! TRAIN!" - IN THEATERS
It's no 'Airplane' but 'Stop! That! Train!' does have some laughs.

MOVIE REVIEW: "DISCLOSURE DAY" - UNIVERSAL PICTURES
Spielberg's latest may be about extraterrestrials, but it goes deeper than that.

Assistiu ao filme Paris, Texas, de Wim Wenders.
Impactada. Já tinha altas expectativas pela ampla canonização do filme, mas ainda me surpreendeu. Uma jornada longa e esteticamente impecável pelo deserto, com um desfecho inesperado. A cena do espelho é inesquecível. Paro por aqui pois é melhor assistir sem saber muito do que se trata.
MOVIE REVIEW: "THE INVITE" - IN THEATERS
The Invite is a sharp, funny and even emotionally potent look at relationships.

MOVIE REVIEW: "THE SAMURAI AND THE PRISONER" - IN THEATERS
‘The Samurai and the Prisoner’ is a tense historical mystery heavy on the drama.

Je crois que ce mème résume assez bien ce qu'on peut attendre de Hollywood dans le genre "documentation approfondie sur l'Antiquité" et "capacité à faire appel à l'intelligence du public".

Truly believe Dream Warriors is one of the best horror films of the entire 80s, one of the creative high points of the slasher genre. RIP Chuck Russell

Woo!
"Coyote vs. Acme," starring Will Forte and directed by Dave Green, was famously shelved as a tax write-off by Warner Bros. Three years after its completion, thanks to independent distributor Ketchup Entertainment, it's finally coming out. Here's Jarrod Jones' review. "The affirming message of Green’s movie is that perseverance in a world stacked against you is its own form of victory. With some effort, the underdog will get his day."
#OTD in 1936.
Charlie Chaplin's film Modern Times opened in New York City.
During a European tour promoting City Lights, Chaplin got the inspiration for Modern Times from both the lamentable conditions of the continent through the Great Depression, along with a conversation with Mahatma Gandhi in which they discussed modern technology.

Did you see the #Odyssey?
The scene where the Laestrygonians decimate the crew (3,000 yo spoiler) uses forced perspective to make "giants" (like how they made "hobbits" in #LotR)
2.1 m/ 7 foot men in the background, a 1.4 m/ 4 foot 6 inch woman in the foreground, a small aperture, et voila: giants
"Woman? You mean #MattDamon"
No
That's #DevynDalton, a Canadian stuntwoman, on the #movie's poster. Damon called her biceps "the greatest arms I have ever seen":
Poco da dire su questo film: come si fa a non rimanere incantati dalla bellezza inafferrabile di Mulholland Drive? Per me un capolavoro senza tempo.
“Scott is the most filmic of writers… He may be considered difficult to read today, long-winded & meandering by modern standards, but his narratives still come alive when the characters move dramatically in a visual world”

⚠️⚠️⚠️ Siamo alla ricerca di volontariз che possano aiutarci a realizzare il festival al meglio! Se foste interessatз ad aiutarci, non esitate a unirvi a questo gruppo WhatsApp.
Si svolgerà tutto nelle piazze Santa Brigida e San Costanzo, nel quartiere Pigna di Sanremo, dal 26 al 30 agosto.
