The best of Bruce and Alfred in ALL ACTION MOVIES!

Ben Affleck reveals he writes Python, understands convolutional neural networks, worked extensively with GPUs, and used his celebrity status to get private looks at Google and OpenAI’s video models “I’ve always been kind of into computers since I was young. Then, when film started to move from analog film to digital, I became more interested in that aspect of it. The visual-effects workflow for many years has included machine learning, so I can write pretty shitty Python scripts and stuff like that. “With convolutional neural networks, which were the precursors to what the transformer can do, which is much more computation simultaneously, you would do things like look at what’s called a tensor. That’s the numerical translation of a visual image in numbers, like the batch number, the frame number and the red, green and blue values of each pixel in each frame. It’s just that simple. That numeric is called a tensor. “You’d use a convolutional neural network to identify patterns that reveal what’s called edge detection or feature extraction, which is identifying patterns well enough to know, this is where the window ledge is, so we can more easily take the green-screen image out and replace it with something. “That was familiar to me early on because, prior to Artists Equity, I had a small visual-effects company. I’ve worked with GPUs a lot too. The visual-effects guys said, ‘Hey, you should see. There are a couple: Google and this other company, OpenAI, are doing really interesting stuff with transformers in video.’ “I’ve learned that I can actually just call up and go, ‘Hey, it’s Ben Affleck. Can I come see what you’re doing?’ Sometimes people say yes, to my astonishment.”

Ben Affleck argues Hollywood creators can’t make anything “actually special” without being willing to take “home run swings”: “If you’re not willing to take a risk and try stuff, you will consign yourself to doing things people have seen before and kind of expect. That’s a worse and less interesting form of failure, in my opinion.” Defending director Martin Brest’s “Gigli,” the 2003 film he starred in with Jennifer Lopez, Affleck added: “I love Marty, and he's a good director. And that's the interesting paradox in this job: you can be really good and still miss.” Watch the full video: youtu.be/2kwxeGaXDwM

Devastating hit to commentators who build their audience off playing pretend executive Paramount listened to you, thinking they'll do better & lost a lot of money You have no market share. Your taste isn't aligned with general audiences. Pretty much exposed as background noise

EVERY time DC tries to go with the comedy poppy "gee shucks" tone it fails. Reeve got so pissed with the tone of his Superman movies he tried to make his own only for the studio to give him zero budget to do it, Schumacher basically turned it into Batman 66 and killed the franchise for years, Whatever Johns and Hamada did with DC killed the entire universe and now we have James Gunn films flopping on their arse. Meanwhile, Tim Burton's dark Batman had the world in a grasp when Batman 89 came out, Nolan had 2 billion dollar Batman movies, Snyder's Batman was in an $873m grossing epic, Joker cleared a billion and even Reeves Batman, as much as I disliked it was one of the only recent performers for DC. You only have to look at the evidence to see the general audience prefer DC and especially Batman to be dark.

Ben Affleck criticizes the studio “tensions” over which version of Zack Snyder’s “Justice League” to release: “It’s a very bad way, in my opinion, to make a movie because it doesn’t work well by committee. I think that was a little bit of what happened on that movie, and [Snyder] deftly navigated that in a fun way. That was very satisfying, particularly since that was such a hard movie to do. It was really nice to see him feel gratified to get to do his vision of the movie.” Watch the full video: youtu.be/2kwxeGaXDwM

Ben Affleck says there’s an ongoing “tension” at DC over whether comic book movies should be made for adults or family-friendly audiences: “It seems to be an ongoing question, and I don’t know the answer: Do you go all the way to a hard-R rating like ‘Joker’? Or do it like Marvel, which does something broad, unless you’re talking about ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’? The interesting thing with the DC characters [comes down] to the legacy of Frank Miller. There seems to be more tension between, ‘Are we doing the grown-up version or the one that’s open to kids?’ There’s a risk of being a feathered fish.” Read the full cover story: wp.me/pc8uak-1lHTZ5
