“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.”

How long will I have to wait before someone says "it's webbin time" cause i don't think I can handle that kind of disappointment

It won't happen. Don't worry. Tbh there's a chance where the morbius meme might've been an advertisement by sony. Or maybe they jumped onto it after seeing potential that they even re released it the 2nd time lol. It failed. So they won't do that shit again. Small conspiracy but the amount of time the meme/shitpost lasted makes me suspicious.

There were people saying they should keep posting the meme long enough that Sony thought the film was going to do better if they released it again, and then no one should go and see it, and then that's exactly what happened, so at least part of it was down to people like that stopping once they'd got what they wanted.
