I suppose Visual Effects workers aren't unionized. We can just make them make movies with whatever scripts ChatGPT happens to write.

I guess that means Marvel will be fine.
I worry what this means for the next Mission Impossible.

Isn’t the current one out like a Part 1? Did they shoot them at the same time?

I wonder if things are different this time since the corporations are a lot more powerful than they were in the 80s. They can afford to starve them out.

This might give me a chance to catch up on the backlog of all the stuff I've been meaning to watch.
