Can we go to the [Movie] thread and get cookout after?

Just a small taste of the good life.

I'll have the salad, please.

What’s the most endangered animal I can make a burger out of legally?

Someone just watched The Freshman, I see.

Probably sharks, because they're not fluffy and therefore law makers don't care about them.

And for your two sides?

I got Cookout last night. Big double burger tray with two chicken quesadillas for the sides and a Cheerwine to drink (obviously).

Me and my wife got Cookout a few nights ago. My chicken nuggets on the side were the worst pieces of crap I've ever eaten. Tiny, shriveled, dry. Just abysmal. Her hushpuppies, however, were SSS tier. Perfectly crisp on the outside, light and fluffy inside. Sweet and savory in balance.

I don't know what Cookout is and I don't care to know. I feel like they probably don't have a lot of vegetarian options.

I do know what movies are, and in general I enjoy those.

You can get a cheese quesadilla with two quesadillas as sides.

Wad 'em all up into a quesadillo.

Late Night with the Devil uses AI "art" in its Night Owls transition/promotional imagery

Watch Ghostwatch on Shudder instead

Booooo AI!

Vegetarian options at Cookout are indeed limited but they do have good fries, onion rings, hush puppies as mentioned, etc. They do also have like chicken wraps and BLTs that you could probably ask for sans meat?

Also, quite good milkshakes with a ludicrous amount of flavours.

Not to mention corn-on-the-cob!

What an unforced error for Late Night with the Devil. And like completely at odds for what you’d want with a project that seems to want to feel of a certain time and place. Bummer

I mean, the tweet says "seemingly" and offers nothing to back up the statement, so I don't know what that is about.

Gustav

The screencap of the Night Owls tag is clearly AI

Sweeney Tom

You can check the current Twitter trend for more from people who've seen the film and spoilery-verifies that the Night Owl transitions occur with that AI logo and another AI logo (with fucked up looking windows giving it away). There's this unruly habit of calling out twitter accounts as unsubtle ways of downplaying the information within and it sucks tbh, if you think aggregate accounts suck fine but don't fake-news it just because

I bought the DVD of Anyone But You and it came with a spare digital code I don't need because I already have it on digital too lol

Love to post "movie reviews" that somehow double as both Holocaust Denial and propaganda for an ongoing genocide.

“In conjunction with our amazing graphics and production design team, all of whom worked tirelessly to give this film the 70s aesthetic we had always imagined, we experimented with AI for three still images which we edited further and ultimately appear as very brief interstitials in the film. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had such a talented and passionate cast, crew and producing team go above and beyond to help bring this film to life. We can’t wait for everyone to see it for themselves this weekend.”

This sure is a shittier statement/apology than I expected!!

Bloods End

Your could have simply paid someone to do 70s era style art.
I think some of those artists are still around

Gustav

“All these people worked tirelessly to replicate a 70s variety show and then we slapped some shit on it” is a weird statement

Poorochondriac

"We mostly tried, except for a few places where we decided to not only NOT try but do something actively shitty. Instead of fixing it, or apologizing, we're gonna imply that you're mean and anti-labor if you have a problem with our fuck up"

minor incident

I genuinely don't get why you would resort to AI for this. It's a movie with a budget. I guarantee you that if you wanted to just go out and get an incredibly cheap freelance artist it could have been done under pretty much whatever their budget was. Especially if you're also saying you still had to pay your artists to "further edit" the AI goop that got spit out.

Gustav

There’s no version of an AI image here I’d like, but there’s also a part of me that’s just like, that’s the image you went with? I know these things can churn out better examples than that these days. Just lazy shit really that could have been a fun afternoon for someone in the art department

It's always just the shittiest looking garbage

You high-and-mighty meatbags bullying robots about their inability to draw thumbs is really going to look like Hitler being rejected from art school in the aftermath of the inevitable uprising.

Always.

Look at Marvel/Disney and how even with their billions of dollars, they used... that shit for the Secret Invasion credits.

People genuinely just turn off their fucking brains as soon as they start thinking about AI art garbage.
