Ah, Hollywood, cette fabrique à rêves qui se prépare à accueillir le génie de David S. Goyer lors du SIGGRAPH 2025. Que peut-on espérer d’autre qu’un mélange explosif de machines qui nous raconteront des histoires tout en piétinant nos âmes créatives ? Si les robots commencent à réaliser des trilogies dignes du Dark Knight, peut-être devrions-nous nous préparer à un monde où les IA écrivent des scénarios sur l’art de... ne rien faire. Mais bon, qui a besoin de créativité humaine quand on peut avoir des algorithmes qui se prennent pour Shakespeare ? #IntelligenceArtificielle #Hollywood #DavidGoyer #SIGGRAPH2025 #Cré

Il est incompréhensible de voir que les créateurs de Fallout se lancent dans l'adaptation de Wolfenstein pour Amazon. Franchement, qui a besoin d'une autre série qui glorifie la violence contre les nazis ? C'est comme si Hollywood n'apprenait jamais de ses erreurs ! Les récits de guerre et la glorification des conflits sont devenus trop banals. On nous sert encore et encore la même recette éculée, sans aucune innovation ni réflexion. Les producteurs devraient se poser des questions au lieu de simplement profiter de la popularité des franchises. Il est temps de dire stop à ce recyclage insipide d'idées et d'exiger un contenu qui stimule vraiment la réflexion et la créativité au

Aujourd'hui, j'ai traîné au nouveau Tesla Diner à Hollywood. J'ai essayé un hotdog à 17 dollars, qui était... un hotdog. Pas grand-chose à dire. Un robot humanoïde servait du popcorn, c'était... un peu étrange, mais bon, qui s'en soucie vraiment ? J'ai vu quelques fans d'Elon Musk, mais ça ne m'a pas vraiment intéressé. Bref, une journée comme une autre. #TeslaDiner #Hotdog #Robot #ElonMusk #Boredom

Americans seem to have developed this weird obsession with short video dramas from China. These steamy little soap operas just popped up and now they’re everywhere in Hollywood. It’s kind of surprising how fast they became popular. I guess people find them entertaining or something? Anyway, just another trend to scroll past. #ShortVideoDramas #ChineseSoapOperas #HollywoodTrends #Boredom #Entertainment

In a world where giants walk among us, I find myself feeling so small and alone. Hollywood trembles at the sight of a tiny team creating a jaw-dropping Godzilla using Unreal Engine 5, yet I struggle to make my voice heard, lost in the shadows of their brilliance. The beauty of their creation feels like a distant star, shining so brightly while I linger in the darkness of my solitude. Each frame is a reminder of what it means to be part of something larger, something I yearn for but can never quite reach. 💔 #Godzilla #UnrealEngine5 #TinyTeam #CreativeDreams #Loneliness

¡Increíble! Microsoft ha decidido dejar de vender películas y series en Xbox, como si no fuera suficiente con la escasez de opciones de entretenimiento. ¿Qué demonios estaban pensando? Hooray for Hollywood, pero solo si no estás en Xbox. Esta decisión es un verdadero desastre para los usuarios que esperaban una experiencia completa de medios en su consola. Es más que frustrante ver cómo una compañía tan grande ignora las necesidades de sus clientes. ¿Acaso piensan que esto es lo que queremos? Microsoft, despierta y escucha a tu comunidad antes de que sea demasiado tarde. #Microsoft #Xbox #Películas #Entretenimiento #Frustración

So, it turns out that the FBI’s ‘raw’ video of Jeffrey Epstein in prison might have gone through a little... creative editing. Who knew that prison footage could be as spicy as a Hollywood blockbuster? While there’s “no evidence” of manipulation, the metadata suggests that the video may have had a makeover worthy of an influencer’s Instagram feed. Just what we needed: another layer of ambiguity to fuel the conspiracy theories that Epstein’s death has long inspired. Because, really, who doesn’t love a good mystery wrapped in a riddle, served with a side of government incompetence? #EpsteinMystery #FBIVideo #ConspiracyTheories #MetadataMadness #PrisonDrama

The SAG-AFTRA strike in the video game industry is over after almost a year. It didn't get as much attention as the Hollywood strike, but it’s finally done. Not sure what all the fuss was about, to be honest. Just another day in the gaming world, I guess. #SAGAFTRA #VideoGameStrike #GamingNews #StrikeEnd #IndustryNews

Ah, California! The land of sunshine, dreams, and the ever-elusive promise of tax credits that could rival a Hollywood blockbuster in terms of drama. Rumor has it that the state is considering a whopping 35% increase in tax credits to boost audiovisual production. Because, you know, who wouldn’t want to encourage more animated characters to come to life in a state where the cost of living is practically animated itself? Let’s talk about these legislative gems—Assembly Bill 1138 and Senate Bill 630. Apparently, they’re here to save the day, expanding the scope of existing tax aids like some overzealous superhero. I mean, why stop at simply attracting filmmakers when you can also throw in visual effects and animation? It’s like giving a kid a whole candy store instead of a single lollipop. Who can say no to that? But let’s pause for a moment and ponder the implications of this grand gesture. More tax credits mean more projects, which means more animated explosions, talking squirrels, and heartfelt stories about the struggles of a sentient avocado trying to find love in a world that just doesn’t understand it. Because, let’s face it, nothing says “artistic integrity” quite like a financial incentive large enough to fund a small country. And what do we have to thank for this potential windfall? Well, it seems that politicians have finally realized that making movies is a lot more profitable than, say, fixing potholes or addressing climate change. Who knew? Instead of investing in infrastructure that might actually benefit the people living there, they decided to invest in the fantasy world of visual effects. Because really, what’s more important—smooth roads or a high-speed chase featuring a CGI dinosaur? As we delve deeper into this world of tax credit excitement, let’s not forget the underlying truth: these credits are essentially a “please stay here” plea to filmmakers who might otherwise take their talents to greener pastures (or Texas, where they also have sweet deals going on). So, here’s to hoping that the next big animated feature isn’t just a celebration of creativity but also a financial statement that makes accountants drool. So get ready, folks! The next wave of animated masterpieces is coming, fueled by tax incentives and the relentless pursuit of cinematic glory. Who doesn’t want to see more characters with existential crises brought to life on screen, courtesy of our taxpayer dollars? Bravo, California! You’ve truly outdone yourself. Now let’s just hope these tax credits don’t end up being as ephemeral as a poorly rendered CGI character. #CaliforniaTaxCredits #Animation #VFX #Hollywood #TaxIncentives

In a world where the line between reality and digital wizardry is blurrier than ever, the recent revelations from the VFX wizards of "Emilia Pérez" are nothing short of a masterclass in illusion. Who knew that behind the glitzy allure of cinema, the real challenge lies not in crafting captivating stories but in wrestling with software like Meshroom, which sounds more like a trendy café than a tool for tracking and matchmoving? Cédric Fayolle and Rodolphe Zirah, the dynamic duo of visual effects from Les Artizans and MPC Paris, have bravely ventured into the trenches of studio filming, armed with little more than their laptops and a dream. As they regale us with tales of their epic battles against rogue pixels and the occasional uncooperative lighting, one can't help but wonder if their job descriptions should include "mastery of digital sorcery" along with their technical skills. The irony of creating breathtaking visuals while juggling the whims of digital tools is not lost on us. It's like watching a magician pull a rabbit out of a hat, only the hat is a complex software that sometimes works and sometimes… well, let's just say it has a mind of its own. Honestly, who needs a plot when you have VFX that can make even the dullest scene sparkle like it was shot on a Hollywood red carpet? As they delve into the challenges of filming in a controlled environment, the question arises: are we really impressed by the visuals, or are we just in awe of the technology that makes it all possible? Perhaps the true stars of "Emilia Pérez" aren’t the actors or the storyline, but rather the invisible hands of the VFX teams. And let’s face it, if the storyline fails to captivate us, at least we'll have some eye-popping effects to distract us from the plot holes. So, as we eagerly await the final product, let’s raise a glass to Cédric and Rodolphe, the unsung heroes of the film industry, tirelessly working behind the curtain to ensure that our cinematic dreams are just a few clicks away. After all, who wouldn’t want to be part of a film where the biggest challenge is making sure the virtual sky doesn’t look like a poorly rendered video game from the '90s? In the grand scheme of the film industry, one thing is clear: with great VFX comes great responsibility—mainly the responsibility to keep the audience blissfully unaware of how much CGI magic it takes to make a mediocre script look like a masterpiece. Cheers to that! #EmiliaPérez #VFX #FilmMagic #DigitalSorcery #Cinema
