Well fuck-a-doodle. Another day, another fucking sellout 🫩

Tapping the sign

could have been a great movie but the story and pacing was shit

For people who don't know film Edwards comments reads like support. For people that do know film.. A second unit that won't take notes is Fucking Insane if you want to spend money effectively as a producer. He used industry language to label it as gambling and he's right.

Everyone's turning ghoulish. First Soderbergh, and now Gareth Edwards. People with power seem to inevitably move towards disenfranchising jobs they don't do personally, and the people who don't exist in their bubble.

Aaaaaw fucking hell.

Gareth Edward is apparently a stupid man and a shill.

I'm glad they announce it, so we know who's work to avoid.

Man. So tired of this.

gareth your top credit is Jurassic Property... 6? 9? you need to sit the fuck down and pay attention

*deep sigh*

He argued that AI is primarily helpful in replacing real people rather than replacing real people

The comments from Paul Schrader at the same event about not needing extras anymore are equally disheartening/disgusting.

Very disappointing to hear.

Noo, Gareth Edwards you not meant to side with the enemy. And I had such high respect for him and his work, Rogue one is my favourite Star wars film.

i don't pencil whip. i occasionally ignore missing hardware on sidewall panels because interior shit is infuriating. i also try not to fuck the next guy. and i know interior shit is part of where that happens,

I will hang myself if you dare touch the Godzilla franchise ever again.

Adding edwards to the boycott list

😔

This is so disappointing from the director of The Creator, a movie that rests so much of its weight on the production design and concept artists.

Pretty typical attitude from someone "Above the Line" who have historically sold out all the workers, crew, and artists working below the line. Just look at how SAG, the WGA, and DGA have consistently demanded solidarity from IATSE and the Animators Guild and never return it beyond lip service.

In a decade we'll probably get a separate AI market. I'm sure mankind artistry will come back big time. But nobody will trust these people so they'll stay in the AI industry. Making big money, but still.

Tragic.

So what he's saying is that generative AI could replace most billionaires? 👀

The usual "Everything except what I do is replaceable by slop." Is it actually useful, or do you just want to not pay human creators? That might be the fastest I've ever lost all respect for a director whose work I genuinely looked forward to.

Totally fair.

Credit to @darkmechanic.bsky.social for that one.

Rogue One is a top 3 Star Wars movie if you take out the stupid fake looking dead eyed Tarkin/Leia.

Welp, fuck him from now on. Fuck all the AI loving trash.
