>The 1982 film Lagazalian: Runes of Mammon is a sword-and-sorcery film ... starring a bevy of C-listers known for bit parts in various sword-and-sorcery fantasy movies throughout the 1970s and 1980s.>The movie was first released straight to video in 1982, but was picked up for a small theatrical run in 1983. Legal issues relating to a financing disagreement between the producers led to the film being pulled from distribution in the 1990s and all remaining prints destroyed. Except for incomplete VHS bootlegs, the movie is considered lost by many.Is there any hope for the future? Everything is disappearing
Is this movie an elaborate AI hoax? There isn't a single mention of the title in the /tv/ archives. And these stills kinda look sus.
>>217595213Foolish anglos thought that they can just break copyright laws like CHADtalians.
>>217595263The images are AI because there is no existing copy. There MIGHT be some bootlegs that leaked to east asian or maybe east european markets but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting.
>>217595263I'm certain its ai
A VHS was allegedly sold on eBay last year but I'm still not quite buying it. The weird thing it's just casually inserted in the middle of a bunch of other legit and reasonably well known minor niche foreign sword n sorcery films.
>>217595263Thats AI for sure, does not even remotely look real
>>217595213>>217595327Why would low budget sword and sorcery shlock use modern-looking original artwork while all the others just stole ones from Frank Frazetta?
>>217595213why there isnt a Thorgal movie? lazy frenchs, the comics are better than Conan
>>217595263>Is this movie an elaborate AI hoax?The 2 actress named are real, Anna Kanakis and Olga Schoberová, the director Geraldo Sciattico is not, yes it looks like Chrome Lords .
>>217595263That's AI for sure. Has all the tell-tale signs of AI.
I just realized that in the near future AI will edit history in real time, including manufacturing convincing past movies and inserting them into IMDB, torrent sites, reviews, etc. The people who know its fake will obviously have no capacity to spread that knowledge, so the edits will simply pass as authentic.
>>217595960Yes.....fuck
>>217596732Even today history is patchy. Entire groups of historically-significant peoples left no primary sources. The Greco-Roman and other sources we do have are patchy, with hundreds upon hundreds of lost works known. Christians, Jews, Muslims, commies, and other dogmatists accomplished this in waves with just normal censorship and threats. If you're under 50, may live to see 1984-style daily edits to history with punishment by death if you openly notice them. The movies we know and love now will have all problematic scenes erased and an ever-shifting number of new scenes added to meet the propagandistic demands of whoever is controlling AI in the moment.If you can remember the 90s internet versus what we have now, you'll know it's already happening. But with AI they will become unstoppable.
>>217595960Member Cats of Istanbul? I member.
>>217596938My only hope for the internet is that this causes it to kill itself, at least in the minds of a resilient minority, like those who avoided the jab. If some people realize that nothing on the internet can ever be proven to be "real" anymore they might just give it up entirely and go back to, I don't know, building birdhouses and growing potatoes or whatever. Certainly my family would rather do that, all of my siblings and cousins have moved to homeschooling their kids/grandkids now. This doesn't solve all the greater societal problems but there's at least hope that not everyone is susceptible to this rubbish. Of course I'm also cursed with the awareness that any desire towards overly idyllic utopianism can itself lead towards pathologically unrealistic expectations of society, but I just think people should try doing shit that doesn't involve transistors anymore.
>>217597083Plato spoke about men of the Silver race being born to Golden men, and Golden men being born among those of bronze and iron and the like, and this is why there can never be breakaway society of nobility.There does not seem be any way to predict the nobility and capacity for discernment in offspring, unless this knowledge has been sequested in some esoteric source. It's the same core problem you see with dynastic inheritance in particular, and with all forms of inheritance generally.Those few humans with discernment, no matter how great, simply do not have the capacity to reliably distinguish the authentic. Hell, putting AI and internet issues aside, I can't even be confident that you're not a p-zombie. There's no way to even be sure that there ARE other minds to even have the trait "authentic" or "non-NPC."
So we're making up movies now with AI slop?
Never existed at all
>>217595361Could have been a printed box so the image wouldn't just be of a bootleg tape... But more likely it's bullshit yet
>>217597335Well, yeah. Certainly (obviously) the images are cheap Midjourney AI, but there was some doubt as to whether they were made by the same persons initially claiming to have seen the movie in text posts, or a latecomer getting in on the joke by creating an entry for it. In the age of common AI, it's probably irrelevant. This certainly isn't the first time a similar hoax has been created, and nowadays bothering to call anything a "hoax" is probably just redundant. It just seemed interesting to me that some groundwork seems to have been laid down to make it look plausible and not an obvious just-for-fun spoof like Chrome Lords, then it was just discarded and left on cultcelebrities for someone to find, like one of those little towers of rocks in the woods.Hey, guy who made this, if you're reading this,nigger nigger nigger
>>217595263Elaborate?No.
Now that I look, the second person who claimed to have seen the movie is clearly a sockpuppet account of the first.
>>217595213>>217595263Basically no mention of it exists prior to 2022 so yeah.Scary shit.
>>217596938>Christians, Jews, Muslims, commies, and other dogmatists accomplished this in waves with just normal censorship and threats.There was no censorship, it was just decay, retard. Even the only known manuscript of Beowulf has scorch marks on it from where it was only barely pulled from a library fire
>>217597755*2019The only website talking about it is Cult Celebrities which anyone can submit to.
>>217597777That comment is plain ignorant. Christians outright destroyed hundreds of texts, and the only things known about them are from Christian refutations. Same with the other named groups. Not to mention constant editing of their "scriptures", destruction of relics and holy places, mass murders of people who wouldn't convert, etc. Even today Muslims continue destroying historical ruins across their entire domain.
>>217596938>>217597083>>217597209If you ever feel the urge to kill yourself - even for a second - just know that that's evolution trying to do its work.
>>217597877Wikipedia still isn't accepting your asshole as a source, huh?
>>217597867that page seems to be submitted in 2022
>>217597906Not accurate.
>>217597972I don't actually believe it's possible for someone to be this ignorant but also be capable of doing the captcha. I choose to believe you're trying to troll.
>>217596938>The Greco-Roman and other sources we do have are patchyUntil 1700s our primary source for like a century of roman history was Historia Augusta which was an ancient equivalent of the Onion.
>>217597877>gnostic opinion>opinion discardedThe Church was the last surviving institution of Rome and the only organization seeking its restoration. It was there that the rules of life in the empire, like High Latin, were preserved and written down, and ancient texts were copied in monasteries. And yet you repeat occult legends.
>>217597877Your comment is plain ignorant. Christians outright preserved thousands of manuscripts which were not explicit Christian dogma.
>>217597877>I'm terrified of MUH AI MISINFORMATION, BRO!>Anyhoo - have a shitty AI infographic with some completely fake horseshit about Gnosticism Why does the plague always think it's the cure?
>>217597083>like those who avoided the jab. Must you lump in those retards with this?
>>217595328monkey retarded stupid idiot
You're being deeply unintellectual by lumping 1,700 years worth of "Christianity" as one singular motivated cause. Armchair "We'd all have flying cars now if we'd had atheism" ain't it, bro. Your peaheaded lumping of history into "these bad groups did all the bad things" is simplistic and lacking in any real historical context.
>>217596938>>217597083>>217597209
>>217598116Are you one of the smoothbrains who took an experimental gene therapy and all seven boosters for a cough with a 99.97% survival rate? The same experimental gene therapy that was recalled numerous times and has ongoing investigations into damages it has caused in an continuing era of unexplained excess death?If so, congratulations, you've allowed tribal stupidity to guide your destiny.
>>217598031Referring to the destruction of gnostic texts as the historical fact that it is does not make me a gnostic. And the objective fact that Christians preserved Christian texts is not evidence that they did not destroy non-Christian texts, as they objectively did. You are outrageously and offensively stupid, and incapable of the most basic reasoning. This is why you are Christian.I've never been more thankful that your forebears had their asses kicked and lost the power to burn heretics and other knowledge. You and yours have never been anything more than half-rabid dogs chomping at the bit to murder your betters (people over 100 IQ).>>217598035The fact that they preserved some non-Christian manuscripts is not evidence that they did not destroy other non-Christian manuscripts.

>>217598167>gnostic garbage schizoAh, that explains your complete detachment from historical fact. Let me guess, it was real in the demiurge's mind?
>>217595960
>>217598209Same question, if you please>>217598163
>>217598163In my case it was because I needed to work to feed my family, because working, going to the shop to buy food, etc. was not allowed if you weren't "vaccinated". And and forget about travelling. But it was not forced on us because according to the bootlickers the government didn't put a gun to your head. In newspeak that's the only definition of the government forcing you to do things.
>>217598222You're the only demiurge-sucker in this thread, Yahwist.
>>217598163>Experimental Yep - several decades of experiments. I sure hope you avoid those dangerous experimental flying machines>Gene therapyOH GOD HAHAAHAHAAAAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAAAHAHA
>>217598271Nothing but strawman responses indicating a complete and utter abdication from conscious thought. Do you actually go through life like this?
>>217598271>oh no this topic is too difficult to think about and research critically.. i.. better.. LAUGH TO SAVE MY EGO! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA*mashes keys, furiously hyperventilating*>>217598304You can't argue with demoralized people. They will defend their mistakes to the death, hysterical shitposts are barely a fraction of it. Look at Rebecca Watson
I fucking love Sword and Sorcery genre. Bring it back
>>217595213>>217595263>>217595304Absolute horse shit, not even a redditor would fall for this garbage but you fucking morons lap it right up>urr iz it da eh eye? durrrRetards
>>217598917what's eh eye?
>>217595327Literally fucking kill yourself you worthless cretin and anyone else that would believe this nonsense for a second. If you're going to fake a fucking VHS at least look at what they actually looked like. Pathetic attempt, absolutely pathetic.
>>217598980I fucked you're mom.
>>217597335>the future will be a bunch of retards investigating lost movies that never existed
