The “Blade Runner” series in the works at Amazon Prime Video has cast Michelle Yeoh in a lead role, Variety has learned.

The series, titled “Blade Runner 2099,” was ordered at Amazon in September 2022. It serves as a sequel to both the original “Blade Runner” film and the followup film, “Blade Runner 2049.” Exact plot details are being kept under wraps, but sources say Yeoh will play a character named Olwen, described as a replicant near the end of her life.

Depends on the model and context, but generally speaking simply telling your average uncensored LLM model to act retarded means it'll use a lot of quirky teenage thot vocabulary - but for the most part it remains factual and focused unless you specifically instruct it to do otherwise.

Meh, movies are dead anyway for the most part. While most of them have had woke in them for decades (depending on "The Message" of the time), many were at least... good stories over all (or honest attempts) and well done in the various areas of art.

These days, it wouldn't matter if the film had zero woke in them as the acting, filming, dialogue, stories, etc.. are done by talentless and witless hacks who would make an elementary school production look as if it were a master production of the trade. Cheesy B/C rate movies of the past make modern AAA films look like amateur works. Nothing can save them either. Even if there are still competent people still working within the industry, all other areas of the films production destroy any means of them salvaging the film.

The dialogue in these films are so bad it makes me feel embarrassed to even watch them and this is coming from someone who loves old cheesy films with bad acting. These people are not just bad, they are literally stupid.

Anyway, movies these days aren't even worth pirating.

Besides, most of you are young enough that you didn't experience the works of the older generation of films from the 20's up until when movies went bad. There are TONS of great films out there to choose from if you go digging. You could never watch a new movie again the rest of your life and still have too many left over worth watching. Let the industry die, it deserves to.

Ah, therein lies the crux of my problem. I have Chat-GPT 3.5 and Gemeni AI, both super censored by what humanity has worst to offer.

There are still some good actors alive, Paul Atraides/Agent Cooper hasn't died and from the youngsters I like the big nose hillbilly who shot to stardom in Disney's Lame Wars, Adam Driver (is he related to Mimi?)
You can find some more good examples here and there for acting.
Filming talent is rarer, screewriters would be all benefit from being replaced by AI, and directors/producers are mostly retarded at best or outright evil at worst, but above all incompetent.

Sure, there are some talent still left, but as I said, other areas of the production screw everything up. You get a good actor, and the director is a moron (good actors alone can't save a movie). You get a good director and you get a bunch of half wits who lack acting ability and when to adlib and when not to. A good script writer gets a poor director who decides they know the story better, etc... it goes on and on and even if you do get a fairly solid team across the board, and a good IP/story to pull from, the studio comes in with executive demands and the work comes out half-baked and full of political propaganda that destroys it.

All of these problems have always existed, but you had a larger pool of talent to pull from so you ended up getting good results from time to time, or at least fair ones.

These days, garbage, all of it.

Yeah, agree with all that except the part about "good script writer", there's only AI decent script writers. Anyone who could write even at mediocre level was run off from Hollywood.

I was thinking more along the lines of existing content to pull from in that regard . Like Dune recently being urinated all over by the director who claimed they understood the story better than Herbert did. While Lynch's effort was not ideal (what book to movie really is?), it was approved by Herbert in that he felt that while their were adaptions here and there by Lynch, the over all feel, theme, and narrative was well done.

The recent Dune was just another "Star Wars" thrashing of an IP.

Easier to just ignore anything with a "female" protagonist these days.

[Oyster Sauce]

Just watched the episode of The X Files where an Amish boy gets addicted to porn he finds in the woods and then becomes a transsexual murderrapist.

Choice quote by Scully: "How else do you explain a woman overpowering a 200 pound cop? She's a he!"

I thought that show was science fiction, not science FACT

Modern slop looks fucking awful

They spent a combined $500+ on this shit ($230m budget + $300m marketing). All current cinema is ugly and rotten to the core. Doesn't matter if the people directing are old heads, it's all infected by cancer.

tragic.

Say what you will about Fury Road's feminism agenda, but it was a technically impressive film full of amazing pratical effects and stuntwork.

This looks like a typical green-screen marvelslop.

I was complaining about the lesbians in Fury Road's third act, and an internet friend said that when they appeared it was the perfect time to go take a leak.
