Happy milestone lads and Planet Industries or whatever. Think I discovered your work in 2015 or 2017. Its a mystery of sorts. Helped me through get through some hard times, I've laughed, been impressed and jealous...jealous...and most of all glad. Cheers James and Mason.

David McCallum was also the character 'Steel' in 'Sapphire & Steel' which was a pretty far-out , metaphysical/supernatural sci-fi TV show on British TV in the late 70's, his partner agent 'Sapphire' was splayed by Joanna Lumley, it was often confusing and overly clever, but it definitely had a certain unique oddness to it that makes it worth investigating.

[@Luminousreign]

I have a sneaking suspicion that the DCU wont start until it has a succesful movie...which probably means never.

[@mr.dr0bot731]

The Suicide Squad was good but they don't give movies like that any attention.

[@cooperhedger]

@@mr.dr0bot731the suicide squad is the only reason the idea of the dcu even exists… they basically threw their entire studio at James Gunn because he was the only one that could make a good movie .

I think James Gunn is better then anybody else that they hire before. He actually has a vision for it.

[@tkahres]

NO. No. no. David McCallum did NOT write the song the Edge. David Axelrod wrote it, and David McCallum performed it. Finally, you guys messed something up. It's been years of perfection, but now I got you. Relish....

I said the exact same thing after watching The Creator, that there needed a bit more of the two main characters bonding to establish the bond between them. But I still managed to enjoy it and their poignant moments at the end.

The movie that I see a lot of inspiration from in The Creator that nobody is mentioning is Eddie Murphy’s The Golden Child. The seatbelt scene in the trailer had me looking for more references.

When Mason started playing "The Edge" I honestly thought he was pranking James, I was like... That's just Dr Dre. And then he said it but not like a punchline, and my mind was blown. Who knew that was an old sample?!

[@niallgaffney2475]

Looking forward to hosting you guys in rural Ireland for the 500th episode road show 🇮🇪

[@scarlettNET]

The Edge is a really great and popular song in its own right too. It's in Baby Driver and Grand Theft Auto IV. Had no idea David McCallum was a big actor too though! What a legend!

[@TheRainbowThief]

Finally just watched The Creator. Really glad it exists. Hope it does amazingly well. But personally I kinda hated it.

[@andrewshandle]

Absolutely a shame that The Creator completely bombed. A beautifully shot movie with good performances and an original IP deserves so much better than 32M world wide and 14M in the US. Hopefully it gets some sort of second wind and picks it up a bit because a movie like this deserves better.

[@JPitt1070]

Loved The Creator. World felt real and lived-in. Only complaint is that it feels 20-30 minutes too long. They could have cut out one of the many locations they went to and did nothing.

[@alexanderford3831]

Yeah. It's like there were 2 ideas for a big finales, and they did both. Otherwise I love the massive world-building, Characters, and the Eastern interpretation of Heart of Darkness approach to the storytelling. Whatever the inverse of Apocalypse Now is. Utopia Later? It wears It's influences well.

NOMAD, especially in the finale, made no sense. It's small and empty enough for a child to just freely run to the control room in a few minutes, but large enough that it can be seen from LA and Thailand at the same time?

[@Jllyrol311]

I remember when I saw the first trailer for The Creator. I thought, ‘Oh - They’re doing a Reverse Terminator!’ I can’t believe James and Maseau didn’t say the movie is doing a Reverse Terminator!!

[@Rangothemovie]

The writers strike resolutions are great but definitely still worrying to me. The terms only last until 2026. Which means the studios are probably going to spend the next 3 years gearing up, refining ai, and getting a big stockpile of content so they are prepped for a much bigger fight on their terms. Still great news but the fight is not won.

[@jonbaxter2254]

The filming of The Creator sounds fascinating.

[@tedroberts5016]

Martin S. Is right! Comic book movies are going to make this generation think that's what movies are. Just like previous generations think comic books are what books are! Oh, wait... that didn't happen.

[@thefool8059]

Exactly, obviously maybe there's little kids only know kids movies, but with the sheer amount of media out there, it's impossible for people to not be aware of the other stuff, certainly not enough people to comprise an entire generation. If Star Wars couldn't blind a generation to the rest of cinema, then neither can superhero movies lol

I hope Secret Wars is good. Could use some decently written member berries

"Guys Who Do a Big Punch on Crime" seems like a theme! These various protagonists don't really have much else to offer society in their origin comics, even if they have more on the table in the movies they spawned....

[@MicoDossun]

If I understand the WGA strike, the AI stuff is a way of banning AI without actually banning it. A studio can’t use AI but a writer can so long as the studio approves it. No way a studio is going to pay writer prices for AI work so it seems like it won’t get approved very often

[@Dorian_sapiens]

To me, it looks less like any attempt to ban it and more like trying to put the workers in control of how it's used. You might be right about studios not wanting to approve it, though.

[@MicoDossun]

@@Dorian_sapiens I could be entirely misreading it but I saw three rules 1) Studios are not allowed to use it in place of paid writers 2) Paid writers are allowed to use it at jobs that have allowed it so long as they properly report that they’ve used it 3) everything the writers submit is taken at the same pay rate even if it’s written with AI So first and foremost yes it says AI can’t be a replacement for writers but it also says that companies have to approve that all AI work is paid for at the same pay rate as work by a real person with a real brain. So in most scenarios if they’re already paying a writer, I imagine that they would want to get the most out of their money.

On the chance the person starting a podcast reads this I have to echo the idea of having some sort of structure. Obviously rambling and going off on tangents is part of the fun of a podcast, but one KZbin channel I follow switched to a more "freeform" structure with no timestamps and they are just not talented enough for me to sit through it all just to hear their opinions on a certain topic. Not to mention they stream it so they have to shout out all the donations and stuff, it's become kind of unwatchable.

Scorsese is a legend. He was born in 1942, so when he was 10, he'd still be watching the movies from the 40s and before. He then created movies in arguably the greatest decade of cinema history.

Hey the Creator budget doesn't add up, by like 60 million...I happen to live in Thailand and A: 200k could 10k/week pay for a crew of 4 to fly to, shoot for a month fed and beds per location, anywhere. 80 months is over 6 and a half years, and their "different locations" were probably different spots at the same national park or adjacent to the last shoot, no way they spent more than a year doing primary filming, so crew costs would be 15% of a 6.5 year project. That's 10 million extra just claiming 200k x 80 sites. B: All the surrounding southeast Asian countries are even cheaper. C: 80x200k=16mil. They used a $4000 camera, edited themselves? A couple million on fixed edits CG, a couple million for actors...20 million. 🤔 Just saying...some fluffery in that budget, or they paid way too much on CG (coulda done that in Thailand cheap too) and actors, there's so much talent in the actor's guild that'd give you awesome performances for a million dollars.
