why was gus being silly??? I love late night, I love found footage/faux-documentary filmmaking that commits entirely to its premise, and I love abstract shit w a sinister edge. the v unfortunate use of ai imagery’s been talked about to death already. I’m not in favour of it generally but contextually it feels as anti-art as using some royalty free clip-art and you can’t justify the backlash against this film while the same people buy their Dune 2 blu-ray off Amazon while WB are deleting films for tax cuts and Amazon is Amazon-ing, it feels so hypocritical and scary that this boycott energy that should be being directed at bigger and worse companies is being a directed at a small independent production. I fully get why it’s a big deal to many, that the usage in this film could set a bad precedent (which is why it’s good that it’s being talked about) and that I’m probably doing a huuuge amount of mental gymnastics to allow myself to excuse this because it’s undeniably a blight on the film, but I also think it’s being viewed with absolutely no nuance. but other than that, this one’s pretty much perfect, baby! a must watch! late night with the devil? more like late night with a good movie!!
