More and more I'm getting pushed toward piracy, but I still haven't found a cracked version of Resolve without a bunch of comments complaining that it's buggy. I question whether the free and cracked versions could peacefully co-exist on one machine (or that I have room for both). So I continue working around the limitations.
Man it is tough to make subtitles for movies you didn't enjoy much or downright dislike.

At some point recently archive.org excluded all 8ch.net related links
Here is a still existing archive of the old board: https://archive.fo/07wKl#selection-1953.0-1953.12
It's unfortunate that a lot of those images were lost, especially from the shots/stills thread. Does anyone have a working archive of the old board, possibly with images? I still liked going back to it once every several months and finding something new. I miss the collages.
There is also this but it is only stills: https://web.archive.org/web/20200728024531/https://julay.world/film/res/108.html
As I was looking through this stuff I found that this url still exists: https://8ch.net/film/ 
I didn't know that 8kun reacquired it.

The 3x3 threads on halfchan are not interesting. 
I never made my own collages but posted screenshots a long time ago. Did people just throw screen caps in a mosaic maker or did they actually take time to photoshop everything?

I used Photoshop but i also only made joke collages and joke still sheets only
>archive.org excluded all 8ch.net related links
8ch is nowadays considered an extremist/fascist legend of the internet, its name and presence getting political is normal even when we all know it was just a place to post about things.
It's a miracle tho that those old spammers and saboteurs aren't around anymore posting pizza or reporting the domains to fuck us up. We are at peace finally but almost dead, almost 7 years after the de-platforming.

He's always been insane. He was a terrible drug addict in his formative years. I thought the movie was interesting but I couldn't call it good or anything like that. I really enjoyed this older film called Los Bastardos, which strangely reminded me of Korine's movies, but I thought that film was significantly better. 
This seemed like a very strong year for film in general. 
I frequented the theater this year and saw some pretty bad movies that were fun for a night out.

>but because they are unorthodox for the board's theme (aka not really classy stuff, Shaw Bros iron flag related)
My current tastes (American classics and ultra-low budget trash) don't really seem like appropriate discussion material. And yeah, I don't have much to say. 

It's fine lurking and just reading other posts every now and then. 
In terms of other sites, no I don't really visit any except a couple private trackers, IMDB and I still sometimes scroll through Letterboxd lists even though I don't have an account.

You should keep pursuing other companies. The world always needs more archivists. It's a bummer when I watch a great film that hasn't seen any other release other than some shit VHS.

What does /film/ think of AI video? Talk the future of it or lack thereof, filmmakers' perspectives, aesthetic criticism, etc.

Why shouldn’t it be involved in film? Your argument about painting and photography is barely applicable. Many artists take photos of their subjects and then copy the photos to their painting. AI is simply another tool that can be used or not used depending on how the filmmaker is making their movie. Anyone who believes in continually defining what movies actually are won’t outright dismiss a tool that’s in its infancy. And no, jackasses making AI slop and calling it a movie (like some of what’s been posted in this thread) is not at all what I am justifying or defending.

I don't think AI is sophisticated enough to pull this off yet—generating 43 min. of lost footage for The Magnificent Ambersons. I suppose it's a marketing stunt for "Showrunner".

https://www.indiewire.com/news/breaking-news/lost-ending-orson-welles-magnificent-ambersons-ai-remake-1235148945/

The studios always get blamed for mangling this film but most of Orson's films had post-production problems. Clearly he put a low priority on properly finishing a project.

I'm skeptical that the original footage would have improved Ambersons very much, beyond the early single-take shot that was chopped down.

>Ethics
Ever changing, particularly in these volatile times, so discussing them can be futile.
Also it's a tool, ambiguous in its results but a tool all the same, if we are going to discuss ethics we should start with the ones using it rather than the full range the developers give us. 
I haven't even touched the video editing software but i've met people who use AI and they hail it as God's gift mainly because they can replace tons of shit that would otherwise cost unholy amounts of money for independent creators outside the big money cities and regions.
In theory we could automate something around 5 to 10 minutes for free if we know how to edit and pull out a good script.

I’ve grown too cynical over the years to take this kind of news as anything but worthless. Either the academy was interested in changing things up (for renewed interest, credibility, and optics in general, appealing to “alternative” audiences), Blender had some sort of in with this whole ordeal and it somehow amounts to easy promotion, and/or the director is another wet towel who will be directing shit in a few years for big studios (most, if not all,  directors start low budget). The animation itself is ugly in general although the movements are interesting. Regardless, winning an academy award and attending that event sounds like a nightmare and it would be hard to respect the director or anyone involved or to take them seriously as artists. I can’t imagine this movie being good.

I watched Krabat from Karel Zeman recently. I'm more into his work that combines animation with live-action filming and trick photography, but I think it's worth a watch. I'd like to watch his other feature-length cartoons from the final phase of his career, but I wish his work was more readily available. The guy was brilliant. He gets compared to Ray Harryhausen, but I think that his work was more versatile and artistically interesting despite his stop-motion skills not being on Harryhausen's level. He had a much bigger bag of tricks to incorporate into his work. Even a cutout animation film like Krabat has some interesting effects techniques other than raw cutout animation.

>actor embodies a man who feels an amatory attraction towards a 15 year old nubile nymphet
How did he do it bros? How was the actor able to overcome nature and all known standards of justice and decency, all for the sake of art?

I, for one, cannot imagine having "carnal vicinity" with a woman of less than 35 years of age. My own mother gave birth to me at the barely pubescent age of 44; I haven't ever and will never touch a woman younger than that.

But I am, dear bros, neither an Actor nor a Hero.

Should one give his life for Art? Would you?

Iranian cinema warrants its own thread as the style of them and their directors are distinct enough to stand out and level up with Europeans.  The 5 movies here are classics or well-known to start with.

The Death of Yazdgerd recalls the kangaroo court upon a family of accusing the refuging last shah of the Sassanian dynasty.

Where Is the Friend's Home details a child trying to give his friend his homework he took on accident lest his friend be expelled.

Atom Heart Mother is some paranormal mystery thriller during the recession I didn't have subtitles for it.

Ballad of Tara is about a women giving away her grandfather's possessions to her village as she can't keep them but finds no one who will accept his shamshir.

The Night Bus is about an Iranian prisoner convoy of Arab POWs in 1983 during the Iran-Iraq War.

> in this case "wind" is part of religious ritual in the south

Upon further review, the religious ritual counteracts the "wind of jinn" which supposedly scatters people around the world via "many emigrations". I don't know how this odd phenomenon developed, but perhaps it all makes sense in the documentary.

I finally watched Tall Shadows of the Wind. It's a real gut punch, even though I already knew the basic concept of the film.
The villagers aren't as superstitious as plot summaries make it sound, though. They're mostly reasonable until they're confronted by terrifying circumstances.

>A Separation
Just saw this mentionned a few days back and gave it a go, what actually blew me away is that it's not in the least trying to be impressive like many pretentious movies nowdays. It's just a simple, down to earth movie that fucking works. The last scene felt like a tribute to Nolan, or at least a reference to Inception.

We can all agree they're reddit right?
Had two normalfags in class bring it up in their project, Part of me even wanted to step out of my comfort zone and go "Haha EPIC I too have seen films that are part of the Criterion Collection!" but thankfully didn't. 
In addition to the fact that towards the end of 2020 when they dropped a physical release bomb or something dozens of people made exposure videos that all got hundreds of thousands of views, we can all agree that as of 2020, they are officially Reddit right? Maybe in the 2010's they were obscure enough to be relegated to only cuckchan tier but now that normalfags jump up in excitement at the name, we can just confirm that it's reddit right?
