AI Feature Film 'Dreams of Violet' to Premiere at Tribeca https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/ai-film-dreams-of-violet-tribeca-premiere-1236606092/

Tribeca to Premiere Fully AI-Generated Iranian Resistance Movie ‘Dreams of Violets’
The live action feature cost $2,000 to make, used no actors, sets or cameras in production, as co-director Ash Koosha insists only AI tools allowed his vital “memorial film” to be made ahead of a June 10 world bow.

Claude Code is good at doing research!
In this case helping find the disposition of 126,000 digitized US Supreme Court dockets (cert denied or full opinion), and then reporting why in a archive.org review (using like a wikipedia discussion).
This took real hand-holding and QA to be sure, but it is super helpful. Looked at court listener, the supreme court site (and the old one via the wayback machine!), the Caselaw Access Project at harvard. So good.

I don't often go to the movies, but being able to share #projecthailmary with my wife and son was awesome. Some differences with the book, yes, but I didn't hate them. It had all of the same emotional impact as the book, and they kept the ending intact. Highly recommended.

Cinema Freak on Instagram: "😂 Fackham Hall is a satirical British comedy film released in December 2025. Written by comedian Jimmy Carr in his screenwriting debut, it is a parody of period dramas like Downton Abbey and Gosford Park, blending high-society drama with the slapstick style of movies like Airplane! and The Naked Gun. Plot & Cast The story is set in 1930s England and follows Eric Noone (played by Ben Radcliffe), a lovable pickpocket who blags his way into a job at the grand Fackham Hall estate. The Romance: Eric begins a forbidden romance with Rose Davenport (Thomasin McKenzie), the rebellious daughter of the house. The Conflict: The Davenport family, led by Lord Davenport (Damian Lewis) and Lady Davenport (Katherine Waterston), is facing financial ruin and needs Rose to marry her cousin Archibald (Tom Felton) to secure their inheritance. The Twist: A murder occurs at the manor, and Eric is framed, leading to a chaotic "whodunit" investigation. #reels #movie #funny #instagood #viral"

I just watched an episode of Masters of Horror called Homecoming directed by Joe Dante.
Almost all of Dante's movies are political but you often need to interpret. In 2005 he had something to say about the Iraq War and George W. Bush. This time there was no subtlety involved.
Homecoming is not great. If it had been purely black humor it might have worked better but it also tries to be sentimental which falls flat. As a political statement I love it.

Back when the Polish TV introduced the Dragon Ball series (in the late 1990s, IIRC), my parents were perplexed. How could you create a children's animated movie (because obviously animated movies must have been for children) with so much violence?
On the other hand, I'm worried about modern animated series (these formally classified as appropriate for children). They are specifically designed to keep children overstimulated, addicted to nonstop action, thirsty for more.
My brother recently told me that he set a Disney animated movie from the era of our childhood to his children. They simply didn't want to watch it, they found it so boring.
PS. I actually find these modern animations tiresome. I mean, why do things have to move that fast all the time?!

In a conversation someone asked me if it wouldn’t be great if AI could just generate stories/movies/tv-shows etc and my first reaction was to tell the story of that time I ate too much ice cream, but then I thought the most obvious thing possible: comic books.
