Oh, oh no. I kind of. Retract everything I said about Late Night with the Devil because. I didn't know they used AI in that film and I.
Any amount of disappointment I felt before is now just. Quadrupled. I found a lot of the film to be a little lazy, and this just completely confirms it for me. Props to people who worked on the film and did the actual vfx and sfx, there were good bits so someone must have been pulling their weight, but. Nah. Nah that ain't it.
I also have seen people praising this film because it's 'new' in terms of genre and I think I saw one review that was saying the practical effects are Rob-Bottin-esque which. Not. Really? Don't. Compare this film to The Thing. It will lose.
But this kind of set up isn't new? Like, at ALL? We've had a found footage/analog horror boom and even though a lot of that is on Youtube, there's a lot of films that follow this format. And. BETTER. Any movie in the VHS franchise, Hell House LLC, Lake Mungo. And if you want to praise a NEW indie film for being weird and kind of revolutionary and different, may I direct your attention back to Skinamarink?
I'm not saying the film was all bad, I definitely enjoyed more than a few moments in it and I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt. But this all just confirms my gut feeling that it's just a watered down, lazy version of countless other, better films.

Christmas as a cultural icon is starting to get really dystopian in a climate sense, december has historically been a time of year in which there would be snow in a significant portion of europe and north america, and the fact that its not even icy this time of year and all the christmas songs and decorations reference a time of year that will likely never exist in the same way again in my life time is so strange.

yknow i never noticed the sheer rareness of images having ids or alt text on this website until i started adding alt text to my art (and trying to remember to add it to any images i post in general, especially text screenshots) and that makes me kinda sad

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.

it's such a bummer that losing control of your emotions only makes the entire situation worse in really embarrassing personal ways. losing control of my emotions should give me pyrokinesis.
