neutral · AI labelView post →Ted Turner was briefly so destructive to film preservation that the GOVERNMENT created the National Film Registry to keep some films safe, then Turner was like “fine! You like preservation so much, here’s a channel that just shows movies unaltered for 24 hours!!!” and it was the best channel ever.
neutral · AI labelView post →The legacy that Ted Turner had for film and animation cannot be understated. Without him, we wouldn't have had Cartoon Network or Turner Classic Movies which helped keep the legacy of Hanna-Barbera and the classic films in the MGM library alive. An important figure, no doubt.

neutral · AI labelView post →Can't think of how many great movies I was first exposed to because they aired on TCM when I was a kid. Definitely was the first place I ever saw a Kurosawa movie. A huge influence on me and my eventual decision to go into filmmaking as my career. RIP Ted Turner
neutral · AI labelView post →I LOVE hearing alleged alien contact/abduction stories, but I think the biggest evidence that these stories are nonsense is how their message always seems to be “be nice to each each other” You’ve traveled thousands the cosmos just to tell us stuff we could’ve heard in a Bill and Ted movie?

neutral · AI labelView post →RIP Ted Turner, who was a Film Guy: he bought the MGM library for 1.5 billion dollars primarily so he could own Gone With The Wind, his favorite movie. He gave us TCM and Cartoon Network. He married Jane Fonda. You could do a lot worse when it comes to billionaires

neutral · AI labelView post →Would Orson Welles want his lost classic restored by A.I.? You mean the same Orson Welles who, when Ted Turner was leading the charge to colorize black & white movies, famously proclaimed "don't let Ted Turner deface my movie with his crayons"? I think I can make an educated guess here.
neutral · AI labelView post →I am sure film people are like "Karen is saying nothing new" but it's also especially apparent due to the 25th anniversary of so many films from 1999. So many of the conditions that allowed those movies to be incredibly successful and impactful are gone. Fans of Ted Lasso can't actually own it.

neutral · AI labelView post →It is genuinely cathartic to see people going to the movie theaters and shattering box office records right after Ted Sarandos stupidly claimed that movie theaters are dying and streaming is saving Hollywood. Goes to show you that people love the movie theater experience.

neutral · AI labelView post →Ted Sarandon says that “if you’re fortunate to live enough in Manhattan, and you can walk to a multiplex and see a movie, that’s fantastic,” but that “most of the country cannot.” Of course, Sarandos must say this because his business isn’t movie theaters. His framing is a straw man. It’s bad.
