Garffeld Pt 12, Special Edition

3 panel Garffeld comic: panel 1, Garffeld crouches on a table while Jon angrily reads a letter, "What is this? What devilry have you wrought now?"; panel 2, Jon reads further down the letter, "The list of crimes continues!"; panel 3, Jon holds his face in his hands, "I am beset by a wicked cat." Garffeld looks at the viewer, "I have not been idle."

uh oh, watching more insane Italian movies

The DVD cover for Kriminal, a film by Umberto Lenzi. It features a man in a yellow leotard with black skeletal bones drawn on top like a fucking Halloween costume. I'm told his get-up glows in the dark, perfect for a robber/murderer whatever he is. He's wearing a skull mask with WAY too many teeth and he has the world's least threatening knife raised and ready to strike. This is gonna be a real good time.

immediate ick. Like, I don't want lefttubers wearing hairshirts and living like monks or anything, but flexing six back-to-back luxury vacations under the guise of criticism is pretty iffy. Did we really need to go on six cruises to know that the industry is morally bankrupt and bad?

I read that article earlier today and thought the same thing. Why dance around it, Polygon? What exactly IS so controversial about her? Real long fall from the days of Polygon's launch.

A little boy with a bowl cut stands next to a large man with red hair and a red shirt. They are both of a different animation style. The little boy is Gohan from Dragon Ball Z. The large man is Coach McGuirk from Home Movies.

GDT's reddit AMA spitting fire www.reddit.com/r/movies/com...

reddit comment:

Hello! Did you intend the ending of Pan’s labyrinth to be real or in Ofelia’s mind?

Guillermo Del Toro's reply:

My interpretation, and it's exclusively mine, is that it's real.

Because there's two things. One is what people call “The Shining Question.” The Shining Question is, Who opens the door for Jack to get out of the fridge? And Ofelia is in an attic with a guard outside her door, and she draws the door with the magic chalk, and she shows up in the labyrinth. So, the only way she could have gone into the labyrinth is the magic chalk. And the flower is real at the end. The flower that blooms in the dead tree. And the reason I think it’s real is because—and this is why I'm in favor of the human factor in art—I think that art does transform the world. You know?

Think about it for a second. One of the goals, with all this movement, is to make you believe that art is vulgar. That art is nothing special, and anybody can do art. That is like me telling you that I'm faster at running than Usain Bolt but I “run” in my motorcycle. Well, that's not the same. That’s not the same at all.

Art is important, and they want you to believe it isn't. It's part of the idea of control. The goal is not to have artificial intelligence. The goal is to foster natural stupidity. The goal is to foster you not looking for answers, and to trust yourself entirely to an engine. Look at the way we are dipping our toes into these things. We are starting to ask the machine, Is this true? For now, there's a correlation between reality and what the answers of the machine are. For now. But soon, we won't even investigate further. We will be told it's true. And if the machine is in the hands of somebody who should not be trusted, then your reality has been completely and utterly fucked. Because your intelligence ends at the question. You don't seek the answer. It's given to you.

Q: You recently mentioned that AI creates 'semi-compelling screensavers' and that you'd 'rather die' than use it. As a filmmaker who relies heavily on practical effects and creature design, what do you think is the biggest thing lost when a computer generates an image instead of a human hand?

GDT:

The three quarters of the process that gave you the chance to think of the idea that people don't think about without that process. Meaning, AI can get you to the middle really fast, but there's a dialectic with the process that gets you to that top 10%. I'll give you an example with the Pale Man.

We sculpted it as an old man, with a face. And then I said, Let's take out the face. This happened because I saw a photo of a manta ray and the poster for Don Coscarelli’s Phantasm. That combination, which happened at two different times during a week or a month, are not permutations that are chemically part of an equation. They are alchemy. And then I said, Take out the face, and then I said, Let's put the eyes on the hands. This triangulation happens because I spent a month or two months living with the idea of this creature. And it's not linear.

AI is like a super-fast engine that makes semi-sentient permutations of things that are already done. Creation is things that have never been done. Coming to exist.

And the second thing is the loss of the apprenticeship that one has as an artist. You're never a master; you're always an apprentice. This is a kinship I have with, for example, Chris Nolan. When he showed me The Odyssey, there’s a scene when Matt Damon is floating in the stormy ocean and I asked him—because we were talking about practical effects, and how great it is and that we both always use a maquette or a model—and I asked him, How did you do it? He said, “We put him in a storm in the ocean.”

And you're gonna find that 30% of a great image occurs accidentally. You know, either a drop of water hits the lens, or the camera shakes. I remember when in 1993, '94, Jim…

Not wringing my hands about the content in a "think of the children!" kind of way. It's just interesting to watch a multi-billion dollar company try to figure out what to do with their problematic golden goose. How do you grow or change when your roots are planted in blood?

UnkieNic @unkienic.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Watching the GTA gameplay stuff is strange. Obviously very impressive on a technical level. And it SEEMS like they want to elevate the story telling attaching it to a couple in a relationship. But still in service to the same "you can kill the hooker" gameplay the series is built on.

UnkieNic @unkienic.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Sadly (and I say this as someone who wants to see smaller budgets/shorter dev cycles,) I expect it will break records on launch. And it will do great with whatever in-game currency they have going forward. GTA5 is still dominating steam charts a decade after launch now, they are in no danger.
