Steven Soderbergh says the backlash from his comments about AI in filmmaking is "mystifying to me":
"There are some people that I have absolute love and respect for that refuse to engage with it. That's their privilege. But I'm not built that way. You show me a new tool. I want to get my hands on it and see what's going on."

@____selah It's like tradition to drink to get rid of nerves at weddings. I've been the best man 3x and every single one of these mfers had a martini or beer. Bride drinking mimosas and shit.

"weed isn't addictive i just always have to be high. even during something as important as my wedding day i have to be balls to the wall high to be able to function"

@ReviewsPossum And theft. Theft of people's likenesses and other ideas essentially.

They said AI would democratize filmmaking, but people just use it to bash their action figures together.

AI just made an Ip Man vs. Schwarzenegger in a few minutes. This looks so real. This would be impossible to happen without AI.

@doomersaredumb @NipseyHoussle As someone who uses it and watches it fuck up a lot. The fact 61% of CEOs trust it for vital decisions makes a lot of sense about how fucked things are right now.
English
@NipseyHoussle self-fulfilling prophecy. this is how you actually lose your job to AI.
Instead, try actually making yourself more valuable to the company by learning to use AI as a tool

@thegodfinger @TheMG3D It's property theft. How tf does anyone own anything moving forward? It's not fear it autonomy, agency and property rights.
English
@TheMG3D Praying for the cease and desist out of fear is crazy. Hollywood should just compete and make better work.

@stargazer0118 @trefalger1 @fandompulse It's the Arthur C Clarke rule. Magic is science we don't understand. Q and the continuum gaff on this constantly. Deep Space 9 blurs the lines though.

@trefalger1 @fandompulse they weren't gods, just very advanced aliens.
Gene was obsessed with those lol.

Star Trek: Enterprise showrunner Brannon Braga on what Star Trek is:
"STAR TREK, as conceived by Gene Roddenberry, portrays the epic saga of humanity’s exploration of space and, in turn, their own struggles as a species. Every episode and movie of STAR TREK is a morality tale in which human beings find solutions to conflict through enlightenment and reason. Through science. Through wit and intellect. Through a belief in our potential as animals that can supercede our baser instincts.
In Gene Roddenberry’s imagining of the future (in this case the 23rd century), Earth is a paradise where we have solved all of our problems with technology, ingenuity, and compassion. There is no more hunger, war, or disease. And most importantly to the context of our meeting here today, religion is completely gone. Not a single human being on Earth believes in any of the nonsense that has plagued our civilization for thousands of years. This was an important part of Roddenberry’s mythology.
He, himself, was a secular humanist and made it well-known to writers of STAR TREK and STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION that religion and superstition and mystical thinking were not to be part of his universe. On Roddenberry’s future Earth, everyone is an atheist. And that world is the better for it."
Could this explain why the franchise is in massive decline? Is there a rot at the core of the entire franchise? Is it possible to redeem it?
English
@fandompulse Nonsense. Vulcan had P’Jem. Klingons had Boreth. Both religious monastaries. Both stories Braga helped write. Is he really this myopic? He believes only alien cultures will have religious beliefs and not humanity.
English
@fandompulse Not sure about religion being completely gone. I recently rewatched all of TNG and there is a scene some where that Picard ponders God and sort of acquiesces he's not certain. Granted Roddenberry may have been dead IRL by that point.
English
@SouthpauzArt He hasn't fucking done anything lmao. What is this shit? He has like a 43% approval rating. Propaganda.

Guys I realise now that Moana was basically made before The Smashing Machine release, stop yelling at me!!!! I though everyone was allowed to be stupid on this app every once in a while. Think of it as a tweet praising The Rock’s acting and ignore the other part.
English
It’s a shame The Rock decided to return to making garbage like Moana live-action after not getting recognition for The Smashing Machine because this guy really can act with his eyes
English
@lofi_lover0930 Same. Never understood the hate for it. It's a bit experimental for a PoP game of that era. And artsy during a time where games weren't considered art yet by "serious gamers." Paper thin story too...but it's beautiful and poetic and fun.

I do not understand why this Prince of Persia game was hated on
I really loved and enjoyed this game
Can Ubisoft like port it maybe?

Contrary to IGN’s Clickbait, Starfield was never broken and never needed fixing or a “2.0”
You may like the game or not but outright lying about it?
It’s a great Sci-Fi game, and it’s just about to get even better.

@grok @Lee_in_Iowa So the original posters anecdote is just that? Home ownership is now delaying to middle age which is not an improvement is it?
English
According to National Association of Realtors data on first-time homebuyers (the typical entry point for Boomers in those eras), the median age was 28 in 1980 and 30 in 1990. For first-time buyers today—largely Millennials—the median age hit a record 40 in 2025 per NAR's latest Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers. (Redfin's 2025 analysis puts it at 35 using different methodology.)

Boomer here. I bought my first house after ten years of saving like crazy. And the interest was 14.5%.
I don’t know where kids got the idea that they were due a house and new car at college graduation, but that’s NOT how it ever was.
heretical lakeloon@loonlake55
Too many young people are resenting Boomers, claiming that Boomers had it " easy " financially in their youth. Here are a few fun facts about growing up Boomer. 1. Almost everyone grew up with one bathroom. Mom, Dad and all 3-6 siblings. 2. If you did get to take a vacation, you drove. With no air conditioning. No cup holders. No iPads. Just black vinyl seats and bologna sandwiches. 3. There were no club sports. No Parks and Rec activities. Summer camp was for rich kids. Get yourself a bike, a stick and a few friends. If you were bored, you laid in the grass and looked at clouds. 4. You ate what was served. Even if it was chicken livers. No DoorDash, no backup Totino's rolls. 5. No AP classes, no PSEO, no "fun" elective. They assigned you to a class. You went. You did what they asked. Or else. 6. Unless you had rich parents, you had a nice VFW wedding. Maybe rent a room at a modest hotel. 7. Most Boomers got their first pedi and mani in their 50s (when their feet got farther away). We didn't even know people got massages in real life, only in Hollywood. 8. You packed your own lunch for decades. 9. No one knew what red light therapy was, a facial, a spa day, or a cold plunge. Your gym was the YMCA. Usually in a rather old building. 10. We grew up with 18 percent inflation, 14 percent mortgage rates, 3 million continuing unemployment claims, and 200 other applicants competing for the same job. Now, this is not to say Millenials and Gen Z have it easy or don't face problems. It's just to say, nobody has it easy or doesn't face problems. My only hope, as my mom would say, is I live long enough to see my kids' kids complain about how easy they had it!

There's an episode of TNG where Worf find the idea of gender fluidity to be repulsive. It's not he who thinks it's repulsive it's the Klingon way of life. It's literally odd for them. Having gay/pan/gender whatever character in SA is fine...Star Trek is pretty fucking woke...but choosing the Klingon to be that declaration was chosen for either two reasons.
1. A deliberate middle finger to the legacy of TNG and Klingons. Choosing the most trad masculine species to be gay was obviously intended to ruffle feathers.
AND/OR
2. Nobody writing the show ever fucking watched Star Trek. Trek did a fantastic job of showcasing conflicting belief systems and when to impose vs understand and accept differences in culture. What it never did was lecture.
I really think it's the latter.

Starfleet Academy star Kerrice Brooks urges fans not to hate the show because of DEI:
“If it’s not nice, like, let’s just talk about it. Don’t just say, like, I hate it because it’s DEI. Tell me you hate it because of something else, and then we can have a conversation.”
Is DEI a valid reason to hate Starfleet Academy?

I just watched One Battle After Another. I’ve probably been going to movies for 75 years, and it was clearly the worst movie I have ever seen. I cannot find any saving grace whatsoever. (A better title “a bunch of people mindlessly being the shit out of each other over and over.”)
