I saw Late Night With the Devil. Must be doing well, as they expanded it to a larger theater, and it still got sold out.
Liked it very much, but it may not be for everybody. It’s a slow burn for a majority of the time, then escalates rapidly (maybe too rapidly) and then has a somewhat esoteric ending.
As for the AI, one image is only on the screen for maybe 2-3 seconds… but the one that’s the “logo” for the show is seen in the background throughout the entire movie… so if that situation bugs you (which I think is fair), you’re going to have a hard time getting past it. And honestly, I didn’t even know which was the 3rd image.
And not trying to detail the thread, but I sincerely struggle with movies that have troubled backgrounds. It’s now difficult for me to watch Kevin Spacy films. It’s no wonder that it doesn’t appear that Jeffrey Jones is in the Beetlejuice sequel. I roll my eyes when see a movie was produced by Harvey Weinstein. Where does one draw the line between abhorrent individual behaviors, and the film as a whole?
And I know the AI discussion is not on the same level as literal abuse, but it does bring similar levels of controversy. I personally try to separate the single actions from the rest of the movie, and respect all the other who worked on the movie and had nothing to do with the decision of one bad apple, but it’s not always easy. Ultimately, that’s what I did for Last Night With the Devil.
Again, I apologize for another possible thread derailment, but I wonder if others struggle with this. Maybe this topic should become its own thread?
