It will be porn. I guarantee it.

It won't even be good, either. It won't be some big-budget blockbuster; it'll be a movie by Dave, the guy in your survival group that just doesn't quite get it and still thinks there's anybody left alive to appreciate art. Also he plays all the characters.

Except instead of Dave, it's Adam Sandler.

AI will continue making movies after we're gone. Bots will give reviews and post their opinion in forums

Scarily plausible

You overestimate how long the power grid can work without human interaction.

I was just thinking this would make a good story. Solar panels begin to fail, the software is aware and experiences self preservation. Real Issac Asimov stuff

tHe pOweR gRiD.

You don't live in the same world. There will be at least a few bots powered by solar, running for decades more.

daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 1y

Do you have any examples of one of those bots?

Corporations don't tend to stablish autonomous solar systems to run their shit, they just connect to the power grid.

And people who make autonomous solar systems tend to do other type of bots, if they even make a bot.

Also ISPs don't run on solar autonomous system afaik, so even if some bots are running it's unlikely they will have internet access.

This is roughly the plot of NiER:Automata

Since movies take lots of time to make and being "finished" is an arbitrary decision made by the director and/or producer, it would be nearly impossible to pinpoint one as the last.

Kind of like a musician's last song. Was it the last one they published, recorded, or wrote? What about the last song they half wrote or maybe recorded some partial demos?

Korne127@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y

Well, it's difficult to define movie. There will be the last big blockbuster production. But maybe there will still be a smaller production that counts as blockbuster for some people. There will be documentation of stuff probably, does that count as a movie when people film their last days? I don't think there will this one clear final movie, but yeah, it will (probably) end eventually.

Ah, but some day the sapient squids who come after us will re-invent video recording and, assuming they tell each other stories, the industry will inevitably start up again.

And the reanimated corpses of lawyers will rise if that squid looks too much like Minnie Mouse.

I don't think it will be an apocalypse movie, because nobody will want to watch it at that point.

Unless it's a documentary, of course. "This is why we will all die."

Thats assuming that there won't be an end to all creative output on this planet in the next million years.

Anything past 1000 years from now is beyond understanding, IMO.

Does any form of entertainment really die though? We still have stage plays and novels even though entertainment has evolved to films and television

I had a crazy dream about 8 years ago where I was born and lived a whole life into the future to an age of ~ 27 years old if I remember. It was pretty much just more of everything. All the new shit was slick as hell, old homes still were right where they were but new high rise buildings were hundreds of stories tall filled with technology we cant wrap our heads around currently ( no teleportation or anything like that). Poverty seemed to be non existent. Everyone was wealthy but not in a monetary sense ,it seemed like civilization moved beyond that , the ego was dead on a global scale. There was apparently some sort of "miracle" that happened when I was an infant so I wasn't amazed by it; in the same way a child born today wouldn't be amazed by a cell phone or computer.

Way less hardship everything was really chill (there was no war or even any reason to lie ). Entertainment was more in the form of symposiums/ live performances at various types of meeting places with interaction between the speakers and the public, they were an almost daily occurrence and a large part of every day life. They were everywhere from parks , amphitheaters, behind store fronts in ally ways etc. Lots of public transportation, full carbon bikes (or who knows what material but they were feather weight and cheap, everybody had one The porn was absolutely crazy.

It was clean utopian skylines and you didn't need to wear a paper gown with your ass hanging out if you went to the hospital because there was no need for surgery.

Anyway it was just a dream I wish I never woke up from. Were probably going to get the ashes and smoke, some "Dinosauria We" shit

Wow that is freaky. It's hard to say what goes on in other galaxies I'm sure there are worlds like that with all the given possibilities. I read an interesting brain candy type book called "Easy Journey to Other Planets" (it was by AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada so it may be a bit far fetched for some people, I try to keep an open mind personally 😄). It explains that we are not always reborn here and there are places that are beyond anything we can comprehend.

There was a period of time when I was interested in meditation and when I could let my mind go for brief periods I saw some very bizarre, unexplainable scenes unfold. None of them made any sense at all. It would be a glimpse of some way of life where the beings were machine like and the inspiration for 1950's automobiles and kitchen ware, all avocado green and gold chrome 🤣(I don't know any other way to explain).

It was a harsh and unfathomable world that looked nothing like anything we would recognize

Yes, I'm sure this current stage of human evolution would be beyond the understanding of a human from 25k years ago. It's fun to think about sometimes.

Onward to utopia 🖖

It'll be another fucking Batman reboot. That's actually going to be the cause... Our tenuous grip on sanity will snap, rage will pour into the streets.

Think 28 days later, but the cause is one more fucking Batman reboot.

The last human to paint the last painting, to poop the last human poop. Just like civilization we're not frozen in biology either. Maybe we'll be replaced by one or more progeny species, maybe it'll be the end of the line for the great apes all together.

I don't know about the last movie, but I think the last video recording will be of a woman any gender with unnaturally thick lips unnatural pick-me-style talking about how the apocalypse is so hard and nobody seems to understand just how much its affecting her them personally and asking if anybody is alive out there to like and subscribe.

This year alone:

  • Sinners
  • The Phoenician Scheme
  • Companion
  • Bring Her Back
  • Black Bag

Which are all original movies that are genuinely good. Expanding to others there's:

  • The Legend of Ochi
  • Ugly Stepsister
  • Novocaine
  • Clown in a Cornfield
  • Eddington
  • K-Pop Demon Hunters
  • Oh, Hi!
  • The Ballad of Wallace Island
  • Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight

You don't put in the effort to see original movies and then bitch that there aren't good movies

FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 1y

Original movies are being released every week. If you care enough to complain, you should care enough to look up what movies are coming out
