“It’s so hard to get movies made, and in these big movies that get made — and it’s even starting to happen with the little ones, which is what’s really freaking me out — decisions are being made by committees, and art does not do well when it’s made by committee,” she added. “Films are made by a filmmaker and a team of artists around them. You cannot make art based on numbers and algorithms. My feeling has been for a long time that audiences are extremely smart, and executives have started to believe that they’re not. Audiences will always be able to sniff out bullshit. Even if films start to be made with AI, humans aren’t going to fucking want to see those.”
I never saw 50 shades (though if the premise appeals to anyone they should read some stjepan sejic, he did graphic novels in response to it that are informed by actual knowledge of the topic), but folding ideas’s reviews of them made them sound like a competently made piece of trash followed by two pieces of trash ruined by an artist and committee.
The book is bad, the first movie at least lampshades a lot of the stupidity.
