    I saw Challengers tonight too. I thought it was really good, but agree the marketing is more misleading than is should be. Something we've seen often from many studios these days.

    So no answers, got it. I know you like "just asking questions", but I often times wonder if you really even think about the answers.... Oh and yes we'll know when an AI replaces an actor, especially the first time, as there is this little thing call the credits at the end of the movie. I know...

    But I'm asking you since you're the one who brings up its use here, so I'm putting it to you..... We know the costs, but besides making Studios richer by not having to spend on talent what benefit is it to society to have AI replace actors? Does it make the content better? Does it make the...

    And those technological advancements all came with a cost but the benefits outweighed the cost. So we have to weigh the benefits vs the costs here. We know the costs, but besides making Studios richer by not having to spend on talent what benefit is it to society to have AI replace actors...

    As someone who uses AI daily I have no fear of the technology. But I do think its usage should be limited, as I've said now numerous times. I think it has its place in society, but replacing human actors with AI generated ones is not it. I think there are specific use cases where it can be...

    Yes you did, here's an example with regards to replacing Rachel Zegler and even Margot Robbie with AI -

    Common sense and courtesy here should go both ways though. It should be common sense that spoilers tags aren't going to be used for forever. I agree that some time frame should be used on using a spoiler tag, but since there is no official rule on this site its up to the discretion of the...

    That is you, but that cannot be the rule for everyone here. People are going to talk about the plot points of movies in a movie forum, its just the nature of the discussion. If you guys don't want to specifically talk about plot points that you consider spoilers that is up to you. But you...

    It depends on the pay window though on when a particular movie makes it to a specific service, so 24 months is not an exaggeration.

    And if that's the case then such as person cannot expect that people aren't going to talk about it for 3-24 months without spoiler tags until it makes it to home release. As then we get into the fact that maybe someone doesn't want to pay for digital for the same financial reasons as not seeing...

    And I would agree with you about the month time frame, as that is generally what I used overall. But there has to be exceptions to that, such as in this case when a movie is clearly not getting the interest at theaters even if we think it should. So given that we're 3 weeks out since its...

    Exactly, and I did the same when replying to you at the time because the movie had just come out. We’re now almost a month removed from that.

    Agree to disagree, as I'll never see eye-to-eye on this. As movies in general, especially in terms of the box office, will be discussed in this thread. And as you can see we've now moved to a multi-page discussion on AI and its impact on movies and Hollywood in general. And so there will be...

    I would agree if the movie was just released or was very popular a couple weeks after release. But we're talking about a movie that has been out almost a month and with (sorry to say as I think its good) limited ticket sales now. People cannot expect that everyone else on the internet has to...

    I've added the spoiler tag a bit ago. But to me its a bit silly in a movie forum when people are freely talking about movies. The whole forum should then be in a spoiler tag, or every post should be then, in my opinion as you're always going to have someone that hasn't seen something. If you...

    Given that all are in the same union, I would bet more often than not the A-list actor will stand up for the "little guy" in this context. As that was the whole basis for the strike last year, the A-list actors standing up for the "little guy" to get a fairer share and better benefits along...

    What is the statute of limitation on that though? Does a movie need to be out for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 5 years before its ok to not put something in a spoiler tag? At some point one has to understand that people are going to talk about a movie after its been in theaters for awhile...

    As someone who studies cinema and who is apparently a cinephile you would think you'd be more against this as it goes against the purity of the art form. The difference here is that the Hanks' family would have to give permission to use either voice. Just like Rickles' family gave permission...

    Its been out long enough that if someone wanted to see it they've had every opportunity to see it. I'm glad you enjoyed it though.

    I think there is a difference though, this is actors taking control of their own voice and image and approving and still benefiting from their use for future projects. James Earl Jones has sold his voice for Darth Vader to be used in future SW projects. This was his choice not the studio just...
