Men (2022)
In the aftermath of a personal tragedy, Harper retreats alone to the beautiful English countryside, hoping to find a place to heal. But someone — or something — from the surrounding woods appears to be stalking her, and what begins as simmering dread becomes a fully-formed nightmare, inhabited by her darkest memories and fears.

Dan Harmon on movies:
> Eddington: masterpiece. Weapons: masterpiece. Companion: masterpiece. Can’t wait to see One Battle. Might have to go to a theatre? Movies are good again?
I can vouch for Companion since I consider it the best film of the year so far. Icelandic cinemas seem to have decided to skip Eddington.
I think it has been a good year for cinema and we haven't even entered the awards-bait season (which translates to January to March in Iceland).

I know Star Wars is often kinda dumb. The movies are plot-holey and often kinda bad.
But seeing the first one with my almost 6 year old and playing Lego Star Wars with him is something special. Like the joy he feels seeing those characters do their weird shit, the way he really gets into thinking about the stories and why people do what and who they might have also talked to is just ... the best. I'm actually looking forward to watching even the prequels with him.

As I also commented there, it is so important to understand what 'digital' in all its electronic forms, implies: the history and timeline of any bit cannot be known. What you call objects, text movies whatever, are bits. We cannot know if or when anything was copied or changed, and if we do track it, our tracking system suffers the same flaw.

Our approach integrates multimodal representations from large language models, video encoders, audio models, and vision-language models, combining both off-the-shelf and fine-tuned variants. To improve performance, we enhanced textual inputs with detailed transcripts and summaries, and we explored stimulus-tuning and fine-tuning strategies for language and vision models…

What You See is What You Ask: Evaluating Audio Descriptions
Audio descriptions (ADs) narrate important visual details in movies, enabling Blind and Low Vision (BLV) users to understand narratives and appreciate visual details. Existing works in automatic AD generation mostly focus on few-second trimmed clips, and evaluate them by comparing against a single ground-truth reference AD. However, writing ADs is inherently subjective. Through alignment and analysis of two independent AD tracks for the same movies, we quantify the subjectivity in when and whet…
