I used AI to make a movie about Hollywood. Black Thunder = Generative AI The Rainbow Girl = Every artist who never had a shot I'll let you figure out the rest. The chains are off. The sky is the limit. Friday night at the movies is so back ⚫️⚡️

The AI haters have fallen so far, they’re using, “it looks like it cost 200 million” as an insult.
Replying to @ryanlightbourn
This also looks like a £200m flop. AI slop if you will. What a waste of 2 grand…

@DLoesch @ChrisLoesch @LandauDave 1983 this would have been made and likely hit cult classic status with the arcade crowd.
Hollywood spent $200 million on He-Man, one of the worst films ever made. I made Black Thunder for $2,000. Mine is mid, yet has more soul than the entire Marvel cinematic universe combined. PJ Ace is lying. AI is cheap & Hollywood is cooked. ⚫️⚡️

Creativity used to remain theoretical. Now it can be displayed. There’s a subconscious hate for these tools because it can undress people like Lee bugs. People that thought they were creative are terrified of this kinda thing. We all see you! Keep rocking @ryanlightbourn

Last week I fielded hundreds of submissions for this, and now I can be a bit more clear on the ask. I am looking for: Completed works OVER 5 minutes Must be in 16:9 Must be a narrative/story of some kind It can be part of an ongoing series if you have one This is part of tv distribution for ad supported streaming I am taking time out of my own creating to curate this and help bridge the gap between the creative space and the distribution space. I am one person, so bare with me if I don't get back to you immediately. This will be a part of ongoing curation for the next few months, so if you don't get picked the first round, don't worry there will be more coming!
If you’ve messaged me about your animation projects and I haven’t responded yet, hang tight. I’m working through my messages still to get back to everyone.

Wow, killer quote find by James. Look at this quote from Hitchcock speaking to Truffaut. Its an amazing book that I've had for many many years but never noticed this.
“I dream of an I.B.M. machine in which I’d insert the screenplay at one end and the film would emerge at the other end, completed, and in color.” - Alfred Hitchcock, 1967

I’m getting torched for knocking He-Man, but nobody’s talking about all the Higgsfield/AI presets used throughout. Hollywood needs to stop pandering to AI bros and support real artists. ❌AI ❌AI SLOP 🫶 REAL ART 4EVA

Fuck yes
Every single thing is meticulously crafted including the most minor props, costuming, art direction and lighting. What new issue do you need to invent now @Parallaxterror? Would love to hear it.

Big dog I don't even wait in the queue on IMDB, had 'em post this just to be petty. Move the goalposts for the 5th time, what's next @TheBugsLee?

That’s bit really the issue. The issue is allowing any degree of decision-making for minute details to be made outside of your own brain. If I were to freeze one of those frames, would you be able to explain the specific design choices about any given element of the image?

I've never seen Guardians of the Galaxy, so I have no idea if this is a compliment or an insult (considering it's Marvelslop, I strongly lean toward the latter):
“Make a movie that’s like Flash Gordon with a mix of Guardians of The Galaxy” That’s all you did was type words..

This legend discovered Black Thunder uncut edition on Youtube & is projecting it in his cabin with a bottle of Tennessee bourbon 😂 I know I said I'm stopping after 2 years but if this keeps up I'll be cranking these out until I'm 80.

If you ignore the fact that without those Hollywood films, AI models wouldn’t have had the training data to produce good results like this, then sure, you can throw words like that around.

I didn't put deodorant on today & grabbed an old shirt out of the hamper that I played b-ball in last night. Could not be a more valid reply. I’m ripe af right now .
