Funy how I was just thinking about Inspector Gadget recently. Specifically, an Inspector Gadget vs Dyno-Mutt matchup for Death Battle.

Will Farell pretty much plays the same loud man child character after Elf. Hollywood was putting him in so many movies during the mid and late 2000s, and some of the 2010s. I would go out of my way not to see anything he was in by 2008.
As a person? Nothing, I don't know the man. As a comedy actor? His characters are loud, screechy man-children in permanent states of arrested development and every time they open their mouths I want to stick the largest firearm I can hold into their maw and empty the magazine. And before you mention Anchorman, that one doesn't work for me for two reasons: one, I have no frame of reference for the era, personalities and professions its satirising, and two, everyone in that movie is colossal asswipe and without some distance I can't vibe with that.
The one good thing about Lynch getting his ticket punched is I never have to find out he partnered with a generative AI startup.

Martin Scorsese gets backlash after endorsing 'creatively freeing' AI
AI can help directors "move faster without sacrificing quality or craft" in pre-production, he says.

I have not seen Anchorman. Looking through his filmography, I have only seen the two LEGO movies, Stranger then Fiction, Megamind (in parts), neither of which I think that description holds much water. I assume you are correct about his other movies.
Once Elf made it big, he really did fall into the man-child stereotype heavy, and I'm someone who doesn't necessarily mind that. I enjoyed both Anchorman movies, Talladega Nights, and Elf, but I will also say that when he is in that mode, he REALLY needs a good straight man to make it tolerable, and he doesn't always get that.
He never gets to criticise the MCU again.The one good thing about Lynch getting his ticket punched is I never have to find out he partnered with a generative AI startup.

Rather bemusiing to see all these high profile directors so eager to take a big fat dump all over the craft of everyone they ever worked with.The one good thing about Lynch getting his ticket punched is I never have to find out he partnered with a generative AI startup.

But sure, Marty, if it's so creatively freeing, how about a bet? Make a movie. Just you and genAI. See what comes out the other side.
Ehh, a part of me thinks the mere mention of AI being a death knell to civilization is a bit much. Guessing the same thing happened when calculators were invented. What will happen to the mathematicians? Still around.
Or worse yet, computers *shudders* what will happen to everything that was done by typewriters, or by hand‽
Tech advances regardless, new tools are created, creating new types of jobs nobody’s ever heard of before. The point is in properly leveraging it all, which admittedly can be a contentious endeavor remaining to be seen in this latest case.

AI can't replace art, and still doesn't excuse these fat cat execs forcing it down people's throats, wasting money, and polluting our planet. AI has its uses, but not in the entertainment industry, and sure as hell can never replace human beings. No matter how much the rich fuck heads keep imaging it will and can't deal with reality.
What little respect I had for him died. Fuck you Martin.The one good thing about Lynch getting his ticket punched is I never have to find out he partnered with a generative AI startup.

Ok, true, there's use and there's abuse same with eveyrthing, but the useful uses of generative AI seem marginal at best, and the usual suspects are using it to make a lot of things worse.
While some in the creative fields are reluctant to embrace AI, Xu says the sooner artists learn to work with and adapt to AI, the sooner they will benefit.
“It’s another tool we can use with our creative practices. I’m exploring ways to integrate it into my own,” says Xu, who has taught undergraduate and graduate-level classes on using AI in the creative process.
“A lot of students fear AI, but I want to teach my students how to use AI to their advantage.”…
….“When the camera first came along, it shook up the art world the same way AI is shaking up creativity right now. Before the camera, painting was the primary visual art form to capture reality. The camera changed everything. Many traditional painters, particularly those who focused on realistic paintings, thought cameras were taking over and meant their work had no meaning. But that wasn’t true.
“The invention of the camera helped artists create new ways to express themselves. When new technology or techniques come along, that’s when you start to see new art forms; that’s how we progress and move forward in the art world.
“Art is always about self-expression. Whether you use a camera, a paint brush, clay or computer software and AI, those are the media and different means for creating art. The content and how you communicate through your art is the most important thing.”

Not too surprising when you remember he made a 3D movie where the message was 'don't be so hard on 3D, eventually people will like it'.The one good thing about Lynch getting his ticket punched is I never have to find out he partnered with a generative AI startup.

I feel really happy for my MOTU loving brethren getting their movie. Though I suspect Jared Leto will never be a better Skeletor than Frank Langella, the new movie looks like it hands the old one its arse in every other way.
