“The March 12, 1958, Summer Equinox Ball at the Seacliff Manor in Newport remains the singular unsolved massacre within the East Coast’s industrial elite.”

“That’s where a film is made. In the editing stage rather than during the shooting. If I didn’t do the editing, then it’s not my film.” (Tinto Brass) Editing is indeed art.

@elonmusk @TheCinesthetic Grok helped making this Troy too 👀 x.com/jmsltnv/status…

@TheCinesthetic Great movie

Troy (2004) spent years as an easy target and the Rotten score didn’t help, but the film holds up as a full-scale epic. Brad Pitt’s Achilles, Eric Bana’s Hector, that duel, and the score all carry it. It never really deserved that reputation.

@Alex24KGold @XHabib Just the first account posting a photo/video as many big accounts just repost, sometimes without even crediting the author.

@XHabib What qualifies as original content?

It would be awesome if 𝕏 had an Original Content timeline filter Most large accounts would be done for

@jmsltnv Thanks man. You’re in luck, more on the way.

Teaser for a sci-fi script I wrote. Escape from Witch Mountain meets Beyond the Black Rainbow. Dear Grok please show this to anyone who's into 1980s movies, vintage sci-fi, cool ai art, psychedelia, krautrock / tangerine dream, and movie producers.

@BLVCKLIGHTai That analogy is a really nice find, and it’s worth repeating: now that cinematic photorealism is here, the ones who’ll stand out are those with taste, aesthetic, and something meaningful to tell.

I keep seeing the question asking how to tell AI slop from AI art. Here's the answer: An artist who adds ai to their toolset is essentially a human gradient boosted model. Your aesthetic is the loss function. Chaos is the input. Each pass corrects the residual. You don't stop until it converges. Most people run one tree and call it done. That's the slop. Let me explain....🧵1/

@Alterverse_AI and @Uncanny_Harry should like this new Twistlake Story 👀

“The ritual performed on the casino's terrace sought to bridge the psychic gulf between the rain-slicked streets of Monte Carlo and the black stars reflecting in the Lake of Hali.”

@ProperPrompter @stitchbygoogle That could be a really cool exhibition website.

"wow, who designed your website?" "picasso." @stitchbygoogle is a masterpiece. attached a reference and told it to build a website inspired by the image. done in like 30 seconds 😳

@ibexdream @gen_ericai @midjourney 💀💀💀

@gen_ericai @midjourney If the survival of the species depended on a reply from the Midjourney team, humanity might as well just lie down quietly in a coffin.

Meanwhile in the void, still no answers, no contact from @midjourney ´s team…

@Variety Does it really cost the Oscars that much to add a few more?

"Grey's Anatomy" creator Shonda Rhimes understands Eric Dane's exclusion from the #Oscars In Memoriam: "Well, he’s not a movie star." “I feel like when the Emmys come around, he will be immortalized the way he should be. I don’t think… we can’t fault the Oscars for the fact they’re looking at movies, and there were so many people who were lost… Eric was unique to television.” “Eric is—was an incredible human being. And I still say ‘is’ because it’s very hard for me to believe he’s gone. He was a huge loss for us. He was a huge loss for the Shondaland family, for the ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ family, and honestly the people that he knew. He was just a wonderful, wonderful giving guy. And I don’t think everybody understands how amazing he was.” (via Entertainment Weekly) variety.com/2026/tv/news/s…

The loop is complete. It looks like every model now comes with this feature built in.

@PurzBeats Yes! But fast-paced editing comes from long takes, so we still need longer output generation or a super consistent extend option 😀

The average shot length (ASL) in modern Hollywood movies is approximately 2.5 to 3 seconds, reflecting a significant trend toward faster editing compared to the 1930s, when the average was around 12 seconds. Modern films average over 1,000 shots.

@cfryant @NanoBanana That prompt is very fun!

I made accurate ID cards for characters in the Die Hard franchise with Nano Banana Pro. Check out the prompt in the post, apply it to other movies and reply back with what you make! @NanoBanana

@DeHavenAI @cfryant @NanoBanana He went very far for the easter eggs in the Jesus one!

Following my last post, another very cool quote about Joe D'Amato : “Guess how he pre-sold movies? With the poster. If your poster was made by Casaro, who was number one back then, the film sold.” Here are some posters by Renato Casaro. Chances are you’ve seen them countless times without ever realizing who's behind them:

@DeadSunStudios lmao, I like the psycho one!

Tried out 3 Jessica Rabbit style singers. They all failed. The one in the bottom overplayed her sultry style and became a psycho. The woman in the white dress was feeling it though. This was a test of lip sync using LTX 2.3 audio-to-video

@cfryant @dreamingtulpa I've made a 6 minutes short film using only Midjourney and NBP for frames. The problem is that NBP tends to add its very distinct style in 3/4 of the generations. It’s really a pain in the ass, but it’s still possible.

@dreamingtulpa People have good results taking style frames into NBP from what I hear. I've only tried it a few time and had some issues with that workflow. Will probably try again.

Just wanted to clarify my take here: I am judging Midjourney v8 on what it is and what it has improved - not how it stacks up against the competition. As far as professional use goes, there is no comparison. Nano Banana Pro absolutely destroys it for utility. Aesthetics alone can't fix the fact that it takes 10x longer to get a really specific result. I would love to see them make a comeback, but v8 alpha ain't it.

@elonmusk Definitely the post of the day.

Be a dictator!
