Yea I definitely fall into the 20 pages or less a month category. Hell I probably fall into the 20 pages or less a year category. But I'd never add a subscription for something I can just buy out.
But let's be real though. Getting a car and driving it a crowd on purpose is an extraordinarily small percentage of car users. You can't say the same about emulation. A torrent site I frequent has 28000 downloads of Smash Bros Ultimate. I don't believe for a second there are 28000 broken copies people are trying to replace.
Don't get me wrong, I love emulation. It has huge benefits! Access to out of print games, higher framerates and resolutions. But I'm not going to pretend piracy isn't a massive component of it, particularly on current gen systems.
According to Air Canada, Moffatt never should have trusted the chatbot and the airline should not be liable for the chatbot's misleading information because Air Canada essentially argued that "the chatbot is a separate legal entity that is responsible for its own actions," a court order said.
That's some business class horse shit right there, glad they got taken to task over this
The thing is, most actors do only average about 2 movies a year. On a particularly busy year they might have 3. Marvel have thrown off the equation a bit because the same character will show up for small roles in multiple movies but it's pretty rare otherwise to see an actor consistently do more than 2 movies every year.
I like the idea of more diverse casting but we (the moviegoing public) broadly won't go and see the movie unless it's someone we know.
Hard disagree (guess that makes it a good unpopular opinion). Acting is a skill that takes time to hone. Very rarely do you get a great performance from a first time movie actor. I know it happens (The Holdovers is a good recent example of this) but it's rare. Even then you need seasoned actors for the new ones to bounce off of. Think of your 10 favorite movies. Chances are slim these movies are starring first timers. Now imagine some untrained actor comes in and plays the lead and totally bungles the whole production.
We wouldn't have iconic characters like Vito Corleone, Indiana Jones or even Gollum because you're not going to get first timers with the skill or charisma to pull these off.
Also, known faces draw crowds, the industry couldn't sustain on indies alone.
How would you even do something like Harry Potter recast every role 8x times? That would be a mess
What if an actor does a small movie that doesn't get a wide release. That's it? career over for them? The truth is most movies are bad, indies included and most actors are bad. We just usually don't see them because bad movies are quickly forgotten and the good ones stay with us.
