That's from ChatGPT, and they have been killing it the last few weeks. I usually give Copilot and ChatGPT the same prompt, and 4 out of 5 times ChatGPT just does a better job. They add little things that makes a huge difference. Copilot seems lazy and less creative most of the time. Also, Copilot still has a habit of writing gibberish text, something that annoys me to no end.

I'd say ChatGPT is a bit more edgy than Copilot.

England don't win world cups (except when it's held in England) :teddyr:

it's 30 years since this song was released to mark 30 years since England won it (if that makes sense)

Thing I've notice with copilot: no matter the movie title, it insists on setting something on fire.

England is actually tied for 3rd best odds to win it all. France is the favorite.

I also recall liking SOCIETY's theme song and I agree that CLOSE ENCOUNTERS evokes the fever of peak Herzog. Definitely among the top 5 Spielbergs for me.

JEANNE D'ARC [JOAN OF ARC] (1900):
Georges Melies beat Dreyer to the punch by 28 years w/ what appears to be the first Joan biopic. It's 11 minutes, not a feature, but it's in color - actually in color originally, not colorized later. Melies couldn't photograph it in color of course so his team hand-colored each frame.  :teddyr: Clearly this was a labor of love.

We see major tableau from the life of Joan in wide-shot for about 45 seconds each on average. If you know the Joan mythos then you know what's goin' on but sans dialogue or close-ups you lose a lot of the drama of later renditions. Also there's one scene (the Siege of Orleans, I think) that commits one of my pet-peeve film-crimes - staging an epic battle w/ about 10 dudes, including a few who have to be recycled on the opposing side. However, the homemade quality of the sets is oddly charming (instead of off-putting) and the static staging of each tableau likewise predicts the self-conscious pageantry of Peter Greenaway or Roy Andersson (or Wes Anderson for that matter). That's kinda' cool.

3/5    Joan is played by "Jeanne Calvaire", which seems like an impossible pseudonym. Her mother is played by "Jehanne d'Alcy", which sounds like an even faker name in a Jeanne d'Arc movie, but apparently she appeared in a lot of Melies' films. Melies' himself Hitchcocks as Joan's dad.
