After Hours (1985)
Peggy Lee
Con toques de locura, humor negro y sátira, Martin Scorsese convierte a la Nueva York violenta y dramática de los primeros 80 en una pesadilla posmoderna, hilarante y eufórica. Un joven yuppie sale de excursión nocturna con la esperanza de tener un encuentro sexual con una chica con la que conversó sobre Henry Miller en una cafetería del Midtown. En el viaje de ida en taxi hacia el Soho pierde el único billete de 20 dólares que lleva encima. Como las cosas no salen como esperaba, lo único que debería hacer el protagonista es volver caminando a su casa, o telefonear a un amigo. En lugar de eso, desciende a los infiernos y atraviesa todas las estaciones de la cruz. Cada uno de los episodios que se suceden -y los personajes que se cruza- son plausibles en sí mismos, pero el resultado final es una cabalgata entre lo natural y lo sobrenatural. Siguiendo la lógica del sueño, Scorsese se adentra en las aguas del suspenso a la Hitchcock, la screwball comedy, el film noir, los cuentos de hadas y la fábula kafkiana. Poco antes del despiadado final, en uno de los clímax de esa noche agitada, Peggy Lee canta desde un juxebox aquello de "Y cuando todo terminó, me dije a mí misma ¿esto es todo? Entonces sigamos bailando".
"After hours" le dio a Scorsese el premio a la mejor dirección en Cannes y relanzó su carrera tras el fracaso de "El rey de la comedia" y la frustración luego que le bajaran el pulgar a "La última tentación de Cristo" cuando estaba a punto de comenzar el rodaje.

pro-AI in the sense of "they taught a bread scanning computer to recognize cancer cells" etc etc
against AI in the sense of "we stole artwork from hundreds to thousands of artists, didn't credit them and didn't financially compensate them"

in the hour or so it took me to draw this op turned reblogs off
EDIT: reblogs are STAYING OFF. op was right and correct and i have never regretted making a post as much as this one. if you want to reblog my art you can reblog something else from my blog. or commission me, lord knows i deserve financial compensation for the nightmare this post has put me through

my mum forbade me to say anything to my dad about the top surgery thing, and it's just hit me how funny it would be if i got it done and didn't tell him and just waited for him to notice. i mean, what's he gonna say? "didn't you used to have tits?"

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.
