Just got back from seeing The Amazing Spiderman

I guess if the Tobi movies never existed it would have been pretty good. But they do exist, and I thought they were done much better.

I actually prefer the CGI from those movies over this movie. Even though they are clearly more advanced in this newer iteration, I felt they had more soul on the original 3 movies.

This movie was like watching a terribly busy cut scene from a video game. I am glad I did not see the movie in 3D as I believe they could have potentially been disorienting.

Just I dont know, something was off about this movie big time for me.

I think one big reason is Peter Parker in this version is not all that likeable IMHO. I get this is the "darker" version of Spiderman, but yeah, not that big of a fan. I mean for the love of god, he rides a skateboard now.

I get they are trying to revive the franchise for a younger market, but my old man ass is not on board with the direction. And I do not think I am being a grumpy old man. I just do think the original films with Tobi had more heart to them. I would imagine a decent amount of younger kids would find that aspect cheesy about them, but to me it is what made them good movies, and not just good super hero based movies, if that makes any sense.

6/10

I haven't seen it yet, but it's like I don't want to. Especially with the new Lizard design.. just blah. As I said in the Official Spiderman thread.. I'd rather have Conner turn into a lizard with a snout...not half human half lizard. lol.

3.5/5 - It's taken like 7 years to see the light of day this movie due to production issues and rewrites etc and I finally saw it today and I will say its to long but certainly has a message. Anna Paquin is faultless in this movie.

    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says

      By grik · Posted

      Glad im on the right boat. Tidal has lots of issues in terms of app and music mix, its worst than spot but its honest. Spot algo is very tendentious and they pess less to artists, so im comfortable with the tidal errors, for now.
    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says

      Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says by David Uzondu Image via Tidal Tidal has announced an AI policy aimed at protecting artists and their crafts, as AI music generation tools continue to improve both in speed and quality. According to the music streaming platform, AI-generated music will be accepted, but these tracks will be held to a "higher standard" of content integrity. Next month, the company plans to auto-identify and tag these uploads. Listeners will spot a special icon next to content that algorithms flag as 100% AI-generated starting mid-July, and the platform hopes to expand this tag to partially generated songs as detection tech improves. Any AI music that exploits an artist's voice or likeness will be taken down, and Tidal will immediately block tracks associated with fraudulent activity, which includes artificial streaming and deceptive content that interferes with real creators. And finally, music that's 100% AI-generated will not be monetized. Tidal said there is "ongoing debate" about whether certain licensed synthetic models deserve payouts, so it's possible that this part will change in the future. Streaming platforms are absolutely getting flooded with AI-generated music because of how easy it is to pump out endless tracks every minute. To give you an idea of how "bad" it is, Deezer alone reported that synthetic uploads now make up about 44% of its daily intake, which translates to roughly 75,000 automated tracks hitting its servers every single day. Interestingly, Deezer found most people cannot tell the difference between human and machine creations, with an Ipsos study revealing that 97% of listeners failed to spot the AI-generated tracks. Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music. The Swedish platform partnered with Universal Music Group to test "legal and controlled" generative AI tools that let subscribers remix songs with AI.
