it's not major, I just made it so you can login by inputting your email address rather than your username.

Disney's Entertainment Showcase @D23 was last night and it had a lot of major announcements, the next post will be a consolidation of the biggest and my highlights of announcements!First from Fox we g... wow, this is a lot! I have to say, I'm generally irked when they make a sequel to something that had a very well defined and finished story. Coco 2? well I guess some people will enjoy the characters and want to see more of them. It just bothers me personally.

A film I was actually really looking forward to, then I saw the reviews and opinions and was like... hm. But in retrospect, I did really enjoy it, I admit it does have problems especially pacing and certain scenes that feel out of place/unneeded but I did like what it was trying to do. Ultimately I think it's trying to be an original dinosaur film thats more brutal then the modern Jurassic films, whether it does that or not is complicated. But I did like it. It's got a lot of major issues though, the first act is way too slow with it dragging and feeling clunky, I can't tell if its reshoots or what, but it just didn't come together. I felt bored honestly, the middle is where it got good with the dinosaur action but that's of course the point... but the later part of the film and ending are bad. (spoiler hidden)I want the darker cut, I want the cut that got bad test scores, cause this cut isn't even making money. :(

Alright so I saw Spiderman BND this past Saturday August 1st 2026, and I really liked it... but certain things prevented me from loving it, I still prefer NWH, and while I tried to attempt to create a discussion, it was gonna be too many filtered text and such so let's move here: THAT Said... my two biggest problems are 1. I don't think Jean needed to be in this at all and the X-Men tie in just feels like Marvel trying to build up Phase 7 2. Jean is kind of hard to like: What I mean by that, is Sadie Sink's Jean Grey one, I did not emotionally connect with performance wise, and furthermore, her actions are really hard to get past. I am all for forgiving IRL people make bad choices, and mistakes, but there are just some things that make it hard to wanna root for them even when they change in media. 1. Jean basically tricking a lonely young adult into thinking his crush remembered him and going as far as to let him kiss her just to reveal "I'm mind control" - one that morally has complexities - I wouldn't call it sexual assault but then again I have to be honest I fell for it and didn't see the twist coming- on that level it was an amazing twist that actually got me. BUT... I still struggle to forgive Jean for exploiting a man's emotions for what purpose? "to punish"? Furthermore even when later Peter gives her over to Damage Control... Jean's mad at him which I get but like- he didn't know better, and the second he did he was sorry... THAT SAID I also felt the way they made the connection with Aunt May to be very clunky? I loved the dialogue, and thought that was emotional but how did that even work? Peter just let her hear the words said to him? Is that even genuine help? That'd be like a therapist giving you there last patients same help plan despite you being a different person then the past client. Also Jean's kinda no offense, I didn't like the performance and I don't know if I'd blame the actress, more the direction: My go to Phoenix is Sophie Turner which sure "was she a bad actress"? DP is a bad movie- but what I remember most, amongst the studio reshoots and junk is the performance: Sophie could very easily be the innocent scared girl that has this unmatchable power... and yet go into a vicious rage of emotions whenever the script needed- this Jean could to (Sadie Sinks) but I don't feel the vocal warmth of past performances. I think BND gets a lot right, I mean I love the direction for the most part, the cinematography, the music, the action, oh just gold!!! Though I admit once again, I think Scorpion would've been a more fulfilling villain because of his actual physiciality in combat (AKA Jean's mainly using mind magic and psychic shields) but also it'd close the Homecoming post credit scene. Where it felt like this film basically was like Eh. Forget the past trilogy set ups.

Yea it's weird, but its because the automated bot system- IK for a fact I would think- lol that YT does not strike videos or Disney, but it's an automated system.

THanks for sharing!

I think you bring up the words CGI and AI a bit too casually. These things are not easy and they are not a magic bullet. I think the first thing you should do is investigate these technologies and use them and see the process that would be required to change footage or create new footage. If you want to say " I can't do this stuff so I'll just let someone else do it" that would be somewhat disrespectful as there is no recognition of what is involved in that and wouldn't be fully respectful of another person's labour. what can you do with your skills. that is how an editor should be thinking first and foremost. you need to know if something is feasible before you start making plans.
