I asked an AI (chat GPT) what it thought about my defense. It wasn't that impressed, lol. I forgot to add: the thing is kind of fun. I can admire how, along side its kind of amusing (to me) sententiousness, it can get things like tone and humor and respond, like the "open the pod bay door"...

A few thoughts on AI in general: 1 It's here. Get used to it. 2 Take a moment to appreciate that it is something new and extraordinary on the face of the earth. A mundane example: The greatest chess player that has ever been is not a person, but some variety of toaster, that taught itself to...

Larry Moe and Curley Joe. As a little kid I couldn't watch the stooges, would be distraught thinking about how it would feel to be hit in the head with a hammer, to have someone poke you in the eyes with their fingers.

Yup, lol. That "serpentine" bit made me laugh, and chuckle again, now, just thinking of it--some great comic directing from Arthur Hiller, and acting from Falk and from Arkin, one of the premier actors of his generation. (Listened to an audio book bio by Arkin, and was a little surprised that...

Surprising that this is a hard one to answer. Surprising that so many are so bad. (I don't know why i imagined the new Beetlejuice would be good, but I was kind of appalled by how un-good it was). But anyway. Of course, yea yea yea, Godfather. Beyond that i can think of Bride of...

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. And a few come mind, probably not all time favorites, but memorable and certainly re-watchable: The In-Laws, with Alan Arkin and Peter Falk, and Midnight Run, with Charles Gordon and DiNero. Edit: And of course, while we're at it, The Sting. And one more...

I agree; me too. I don't have time, right now, to look at the example, but will try to critique the critique this evening. Thanks for the response (and it was so quick, i wonder . . . Are you, Specific Notes, a robot? :) ) anyway.

Of course beating injured horse, but I'd love to see ten pages of notes on "Premise."-- Your premise is good; your premise is bad; your premise has been done; your premise is unique; your premise is absurd; your premise is delightfully absurd . . . I mean, I honestly would like to see how the...

Ultimately, I think, creating art and reviewing art are two entirely different things. The first thing is laudible, is doing the Flying Spaghetti-Monster's work, regardless of the final quality or originality or whatever-criteria-one-likes, of the work. The second, regardless of its quality, is...

But jeeze, it's only, let me check:

I have tended to lean towards the second option, but from my experience, it's not too gratifying.

I also dig it :)

I love this idea; i find it endearing. :). Of course you can ask anything, and I can imagine someone, if they believe you are sincere, getting such a kick out of the question that they would look at something they otherwise wouldn't bother with. A lot, maybe most, movie reviewers seem to be...

Sheeeee-it ;) Rockford was all James Garner, one of those actors who can put his own spin on anything. Any new Rockford would have to have someone with the same qualities, and I like Mara's list. Maybe Isiah, or, also from The Wire, Wendell Pierce. Or yea, Billy Bob.

Dude, for fifty bucks you can get one now on Temu!

A couple of journal-y type paragraphs, little exercises in voice in which I imagine I am amusing. And, since I mention AI, I posted them to GPT4, curious if the robot would take this literally, or kind of get the tone: Here's what the robot said: I'm struck by its tone, and the way it kind...

I liked the Rugrats movie--more of what I liked in the series: voices, characters, gentle bits that make me smile, like Chuckie being afraid of stuff: clowns, the guy on the oatmeal box. Simpson movie not so much. Yes, Star Trek, hit and miss, with my favorite beings JJ Abrams'. I both liked...

First, this cat, from that first beautiful shot, becomes, I think, way more alive than his predecessors, when he moves his head slightly, and when he slowly closes his eyes half way. This is such a cat expression, recognizable to anyone who has lived with one. When the cat is in your lap, it...

I was skeptical about the value of bots, of Chat GPT, making fun of the idea that some mindless thing, essentially a toaster, could be of any real creative value. But I've been putzing around some with GPT, and....now I'm not so sure. I've been giving it pieces of script to critique, and I am...

I asked a robot: "A guy on an independent film forum posted this query. Can you help?"
