I'm actually on board with subversively adapting this book as a wacky modern kids film.
First trailer for Andy Serkis’ ‘ANIMAL FARM’ has dropped.

In theaters May 1.

Not personally my preferred take on Supergirl as a character, but it's allowed to do something different, and looks like a fun ride, if a little more Guardians aesthetic than it needs to be.
Look out. #Supergirl lands in theaters June 26.

I said it before, will say it again -- generative AI fetishizes "ideas" while sneering at effort, execution, and education. That, despite Gen-AI being built on and out of other people's effort, execution and education.
A.I. and the Fetishization Of Ideas
In writing and in dispensing my (very dubious, probably shady) writing advice, I am often keen to note that ideas are bullshit. Most writers treat them like precious gems when really, ideas are lik…

On the 100th episode(!) of The File Room (a fact we completely forgot to mention in the episode itself) we discuss “Elegy”, a deeply flawed episode which still provides an interesting model for a more gracefully serialized approach to The X-Files.
