I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of watching videos where Red Letter Media keeps trying to figure out why things are getting worse for movies/theaters/Milwaukee. As someone who knows exactly what the problem is, it’s like watching a frog boil.

I spoke to Anthropic’s AI agent Claude about AI collecting massive amounts of personal data and how that information is being used to violate our privacy rights. What an AI agent says about the dangers of AI is shocking and should wake us up.

There's a reason Dune 3 looks like nothing else out right now. The first two movies were shot on digital cameras (same basic technology as your phone, just massively more expensive). Dune 3 was shot on actual, physical film. Here's what that means. For Parts One and Two, cinematographer Greig Fraser captured everything digitally, ran the footage through a physical 35mm strip, and scanned it back to digital. It was a three-step workaround to make a digital image feel more organic, more textured. Fraser himself said the process "hasn't really happened before in commercial films." Villeneuve tested real film cameras for Part One and rejected them because the footage looked "too nostalgic" for sci-fi. Digital was too clean. So they split the difference. For Part Three, they threw that whole system out. New cinematographer Linus Sandgren (Oscar winner for La La Land, also shot No Time to Die and Babylon) replaced Fraser after Fraser committed to shooting all four of Sam Mendes' upcoming Beatles biopics. Sandgren loaded actual 65mm film into the cameras. 65mm means the strip of film running through the camera is about 3.5x larger than standard movie film, so it captures way more detail and has a natural depth that digital sensors struggle to replicate. Some sequences were shot on full-size IMAX film, the largest format that exists. One exception: the desert. Villeneuve kept those scenes on digital IMAX because, in his words, he loves "the brutality" of digital in sand and heat. So the interiors and ceremonial sequences have the warmth of real film grain. The desert stays harsh and unforgiving. Two visual textures inside one movie, and that contrast is a big part of why the trailer footage feels so different from the first two. The whole thing started as a scheduling accident. Fraser left for the Beatles project. Sandgren walked in, pushed for real film, and Villeneuve, who'd rejected it twice before, finally said yes. The franchise's best-looking entry exists because a cinematographer was pulled away to work on a biopic about a band that broke up in 1970.
