China’s first AI-generated theatrical film, ‘Sanxingdui: Future Past’, has bombed at their domestic box office, only making $121,000 USD against a budget of $1.5M USD. In contrast, the crudely animated ‘Niu Lai’ made nearly $10M USD against a budget of $200-500 USD.

Film culture escaping IMDB's boomer/gen x tyranny and being given a new place for younger people to consolidate around has opened up an entire generation to different kinds of movies and if the cost is being forced to see teenagers posting annoying reviews it's a fair tradeoff
Replying to @staticbluebat
people who are too young to remember a world before letterboxd really don't understand. it's been the most significant positive force for cinephilia of the century. for all its faults, it has completely changed film culture for the better

It was messed up when Scooby Doo introduced a second talking dog who could speak fluently and you realised oh Scooby can’t talk right

Many people don't know that along with his voice acting talent, Eric Bauza was a great cartoonist as well. His passing leaves behind a great big hole in the cartoon world, and he will be very missed. RIP

A not insignificant part of why one of my undergrad majors was in Spanish was so that I’d have it in the back pocket for my PhD language requirement
It’s clear that many people have no idea how much one getting a PhD in the humanities in the US is expected to learn before the dissertation proposal. I remember how impressed my family was that I had to learn three languages, and it was the most basic, preliminary requirement.

I'm in complete shock and disbelief. A tremendously talented and kind coworker who I always had great conversations with and learned from. Sending so much love to his family. He was a giant. A titan in our industry.

crazy to think that this is the last time we got to hear him voicing bugs bunny and it almost never got released. he should’ve had way more years ahead of him, still doesn’t make sense that he’s gone. RIP Eric Bauza

RIP Eric Bauza, the man who brought the Mel Blanc scream back to the Looney Tunes and so much more.
They kind of did. Though Eric Bauza will be the first to tell you Mel Blanc was irreplaceable and he’s lucky enough to have just a fraction of his talent, he’s also the modern voice actor who gets the closest to nailing the classic Mel Blanc scream.

Heartbroken to learn of @bauzilla’s passing. He was truly a one-of-one talent - and an incredibly happy, kind soul & fantastic conversationalist. I had the honor of interviewing him for Space Jam 2 & he launched into all Looney Tunes voices with the greatest ease. #RIPEricBauza
