>“[‘War of the Worlds’] was a movie I did in 2020 during the pandemic,” Ice Cube recalled. “We shot it in 15 days, and it was during the pandemic. So the director wasn’t in there. None of the actors was in there. This was the only way we could really shoot the movie.” >no director>no actor>just shootingAnd you guys worried about your own projects this and that, just shoot the shit out it and call it a dayhttps://variety.com/2025/film/news/ice-cube-war-of-the-worlds-15-days-without-director-1236517622/
>>214496289If you treat it as an avant garde art movie, it actually works.
>>214496289More movies should be filmed this way
>>214496289The cubes on this Ice
>>214496289>>just shootingSounds like the average day in the hood.
>>214497354With the pacing and editing the way it is, no it doesn't work. It's like an ADHD-ruined version of what other screenlife and found footage movies have managed to do right
>>214496289>And you guys worried about your own projects this and that, just shoot the shit out it and call it a daybut this movie was obviously terrible and nobody actually watched it save for the rare shitposter you see making a thread about it every now and then - one that dies before ever even hitting like 20 posts, by the wayjust like boxing it's clearly not possible to make a good movie on your own without at least one other person - if only for the fact you need somebody to check your acting and be honest with you if it's shit or not. same goes for the fact that if you're alone on camera the whole time talking to yourself - that's called a MONOLOGUE and stories and plays didn't usually have the entirety of their content be a fucking monologue because it's really boring after a while and the actor would have to be insanely good to capture your attention that long. ice cube isn't and (you) probably aren't eitherall of this obviously doesn't apply the same way to animating something either, just in case anybody wants to try to pull some kind of retarded gotchafor making a GOOD movie with REAL people you need at minimum:>some kind of budget or at the very least access to several useful props or costumes already>a well thought out location or set of locations>a good quality camera>a director>an actor or multiple actors>a script, meaning somebody has to write a story and then transform it into lines and scene setups and possibly even inserts for reactions to CGI elementsanything less than this might as well be a cringy video of you doing heath ledger joker impressions
>>214497459kek
>>214497637also as a final addendum: directors CAN do everything and plenty have but you better be good. a real renaissance man of a director in one movie could>write the whole thing up>direct the other actors>also act in it>operate the camera for important scenes focused on the other actors>edit it all to his liking at the endthough any director that was smart enough and capable enough to do all this would probably also be wise enough to still have a co-director to keep their output quality high when they themselves are acting. they can't direct themselves from the outside
>>214496289he sounds almost proud of his work
>>214497831wow, he downloaded LITERAL metadata, as in metaphysical data - like its exact geo-coordinates, direction, average speed, and original position based on trajectory and speed over time. it even comes with a little bit of physical data too. crazy fucking wakandan technology is like magic
>>214497841did somebody make this? or is that REAL real? like actually in the movie? was this a scary movie kind of parody? serious questions
>>214496289This nigga lookin' ZESTY, this nigga lookin' MOIST, he's got sugar in his tank, he's light on his feet, he's a Ill bit fruity, he plays for the other team, he dances at the other end of the ballroom, this nigga theatrical, this nigga good with colors, this nigga gonna coordinate yo curtains wit you cushions and that shit gonna look good! This nigga lifts shirts, this nigga on the down low, this nigga be a tollet trader, this nigga gardens uphill, this nigga packs fudge, he's a friend of Dorothy, he feels the love that dare not speak Its name, he loves to dance, he's of the Uranian brotherhood, he indulges in the French vice, he has an antipathic sexual Instinct, he's fluent in Polari, he's a refugee from Sodom, he's on the wrong bus, he bats for the other team, he's temperamental, he's 'one of if you catch my drift.
Filming something during 2020 doesn't excuse it being shit. I think the Ice in this Cube has melted, amirite?
>>214497962Just posting this about every black person you see is stupid, anon.
>>214497916i thought the same until I saw it. its actually in the movie
>>214496289Same arrangement as The Guilty remake. Cube ain't Jayke
>>214497831now we see why 4chan scrubs metadata from images
>>214496289Soon, it'll all be AI.
>>214499142>SoonWe already had AI ads with last gen AI last Christmas.
>>214499305Looks like shit
>>214498158take the thong out yo bussy, playa
>>214499305This happened irl tho
>>214499819Not like that garbage it didn't.
>>214496289Is that not the point of this type of movie? That they could “prove” you could make a movie entirely remote because of muh covid?
>>214497862This is straight out of MGS4
>>214500332>when hackjima does it it's kino >when goat cube does it it's slopmake it make sense
>>214500332There's a lot more MGS4 in this film
>>214499305This literally doesn't even look bad
>>214499305I like how no shot lasts long enough to notice how fucked everything is
>>214499401that was a gen or two ago.AI has improved since then.Any day now AI films will be so lifelike no one can tell. They already look this good.
>>214497916It's real
I took a picture of a girl I'd been jerking off to for about 10 years and used AI to make her nude and even make her dance. The dancing was so realistic I couldn't believe it.
>>214501822Well it fools Indians and elderly people on facebook.
>>214501896Hello saar
>>214499401It doesn't look perfectly real, instead it looks part way between live action and some kind of CGI and has a surreal aspect. It's suitable enough for that type of ad
>>21449628915 days seems like a long time considering how little was done
>>214502283No it looks like some gross melted people frozen in a death pallor
>>214497435underrated post
>>214500012Director was speaking to him through earpiece
>>214497459jej
>>214497637>just like boxing it's clearly not possible to make a good movie on your own without at least one other person - if only for the fact you need somebody to check your acting and be honest with you if it's shit or not.>same goes for the fact that if you're alone on camera the whole time talking to yourself - that's called a MONOLOGUE and stories and plays didn't usually have the entirety of their content be a fucking monologue because it's really boring after a while and the actor would have to be insanely good to capture your attention that long. ice cube isn't and (you) probably aren't eitherPaul Robeson was a one man play by Avery Brooks. It was damn good
>>214496289that crazy right there
>>214497459kok
>>214500332Fuck you, but also you're right.
>>214501004circle three things that look "fucked" right now chuddie
>>214496289This was unironically one of the funniest movies I've watched. It was bad in every way possible, I couldn't believe it
I didn't watch it but was he the only bad part?
>>214499305>>214503390Post the full version.
>>214503663i accept your concession
>>214497637this fool knew
>>214497459kak
most scenes in films are shot by second unit directors, that's an open secret.and the director of photography does all the technical stuff.once you made it as a director you can basically just be a supervisor and do very little
>>214497459lel
>>214497459PUT ME IN THE SCREENSHOT GUYS, EPIC FOR TEH WIN!
>>214504541
Guys, over the course of the movie the Ice Cube stuff happens in real time. 90 minutes. But he also sees all these other world events unfold. This is absolutely nonsensical. In real life, there are 90 minute delays to urgent press conferences.
This movie will be a cult classic in ten years.Screencap this.
is it really supposed to be a secret that actors work for a couple weeks for a normal persons yearly salary?
>>214496289Isn't that how Marvel movies are made?All green screen, no script, diva actors directing themselves? Add everything else in post and hope it lands?It's a one billion dollar formula.
>>214497354or a comedy, either way its enjoyable. >>214496289I think thats kinda based honestly who gives a fuck? He was never like a super serious dramatic actor, mostly did 'fun' movies where he wasnt super serious.
>>214497831Kek
>>214499305I fucking love how the black guy has ONE front tooth
Turns out it's not difficult to make a shit film, who knew?
>>214499305I just watched that whole ad.Every single time I rewatch it, there is something so ridiculously off.>the truck grill patterns are never consistent>the truck wheels are never consistent>the fucking dog is stiff-faced and his tail clips his arse>distant trucks look like blobs of smudged pixels>random background christmas trees look unhinged>the coca-cola logo in AI is so blatantly broken>you can see after-effects where the coca cola logo is manually added onto the trucks...except for the distant blobs lol
>>214499305love how tiny those trucks are
>>214505033
>>214496289I wish Ice Cube would understand that we ain't mad at him, but own up to your fuck ups man. They all can't be gems, Ice Cube. We all know Friday After Next was a huge misstep that should've never happened, but at least you put a lot of up and comers on with that one.
>>214503659Lmao no. Plot, editing, VFX, everything is just as terrible. Gotta give it to Ice Cube tho, his performance is so bad it actually makes the film at least entertaining.
>>214503659Ice Cube's parts are the only redeeming parts.
>>214497894>It's impossible to save these in a fucking txt file
>>214505886friday after next is probably the funniest out of all of them
>>214499142>>214499305An AI movie is actually in the works, it has a 30m budget iirc.
>>214505791AI is permanent and modern "artists" believe "art" is defined by transience
This movie is the peak of "dumb people writing smart things." I love how anything he needs to do is just a context sensitive button on his computer, or if it's REALLY complicated, he types the request into a floating search bar and the computer just "does it." Every time I see these webms I can't hear a black guy saying "he on da CUMPYUTAH"
>>214496289I never saw it but I heard it sucked. That's too bad because I have liked other movies he did such as Boys N The Hood.
the movie was great so it worked for them
>>214506485yea that was funny
>>214506401Too mainstream broad appeal. Too safe and executive producer big wig inffeterence.
>>214496289N Cube
>>214505791Okay, I know the word "schizo" gets thrown around so much it has lost a lot of meaning, but this is a post that could only be made by a genuine schizo.
>>214499305Hardly different from normal Coke Christmas ads.
>>21449628915 dayz nigga?Cube could have done that in 2 days if he'd really wantedDurring the shooting he also worked on a new albumWhich has been released a week ago
>>214497459iei
>>214499305I just love how so comfy everything is. Can't even bother with the possibility of being AI slop.
>>214503390low quality so it's hard to tell, but here's a few
>>214503390>chuddieAI art is chud art. https://newsocialist.org.uk/transmissions/ai-the-new-aesthetics-of-fascism/
>>214497637>but this movie was obviously terrible and nobody actually watched it save for the rare shitposterThis movie's budget was an empty tin can and two spare buttons. Even a dozen eyes on it for streaming doubled their profit.
>>214496289>pandemic >doesn't even have the energy to tryit show alright
>>214500855>make it make sense>ice cube>style in movies
>>214509722>ice cube as the main actor>jeetworks CGI>the cut that various companies and jew goylords will takehmmmmm goo goo hmmmmm ga ga.........
>>214501822AI was a hundred times for entertaining when it was outputting shit like this.
>>214497459only non-good days
>>214497841I will now be watching this peace e shiet. Lmao
>>214496289Was the whole movie 15 days, or just Ice Cube, because those are both terrible for different reasons. It took that old faggot 15 days to scowl into a webcam?>>214497637Ugh, you just reminded me of a shitty student film that I was gonna do props on before it got aborted about a WW2 sniper (twist ending: turns out he's not a Soviet shooting German soldiers, he's actually a modern day crazy guy shooting people on the street!)Whole thing was run by a friend of a friend who had the idea and that's it, no script or anything, and I was in charge of costumes and props because I have a bunch of guns in my house. Had to buy uniforms with my own money because he didn't give me any, so I only bought one of each. Russian uniform was cheap, but German uniforms are expensive because they know Nazi retards will pay a shitload for them because they're stupid, so I bought a really cheap Chinese one that would look okay from a distance. Eventually, the dipshit director decided he would rather spend daddy's money on some other major so the whole thing got shitcanned and I had a Nazi uniform in my closet for 5 years. Still have the Russian uniform, I've actually got a lot of mileage out of that.I'm not sure what the point of this story was.
>>214497841Well, he did nothing, and he got an massive paycheck. Hard not to gloat a bit.He didn't even have to shave his stay-at-home hobo beardHey, did people in California actually isolate themselves inside their houses for a year, or was that just rich liberals who can afford it? I live in Washington and everyone basically just ignored that shit
>>214503390Perspective on the buildings is fucked. Did Hitler paint this?
