Ram Gopal Varma calls Seedance 2.0 the “asteroid” set to brutally murder film industry’s “arrogance”: “This is actually the liberation of cinema”

-
Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has stirred a fresh debate on the future of cinema, calling AI tool “Seedance 2.0” the “murderer of the film industry” while also describing it as a force of liberation. In a post shared on February 25, 2026, Varma argued that advanced AI filmmaking tools could dismantle the traditional structure of the movie business. Referring to blockbuster filmmaker S. S. Rajamouli, he wrote that directors like Rajamouli command massive budgets due to their proven creative vision and track record. However, he questioned how many equally talented storytellers across India never get access to funding or industry networks. According to Varma, tools like Seedance 2.0 have “kicked the gate down and set it on fire,” enabling creators from small towns to generate large-scale, cinematic visuals using descriptive prompts alone. He described it as “true democracy in motion,” suggesting that AI shifts power away from a select few and into the hands of the masses. Varma went furthe...

A Second Book By Michelle Obama Titled ‘Rising Tide of Intolerance’ Will Be Published

-
This year's October should see the release of Michelle Obama's book. The publisher claims that the book will discuss the methods used by the 44th president's wife to combat the "rising wave of extremism and intolerance," which has only grown more relevant at present. The book, which will undoubtedly be autobiographical in character, is described in its official blurb as "Fresh stories, intelligent observations on change, challenge, and power." One of the already-expressed theses was that the motivation to try for the best and bring others together comes from one's own respect for oneself and understanding of one's own frailty. Becoming Michelle Obama's debut book was published four years ago. By the way, she earned the author, as per Forbes, the distinction of being one of the most paid writers of the year. Additionally, the Netflix-produced series "First Lady" had its premiere in the spring of this year. In speaking, Michelle Obama is prepared to share memories and tales from her husband's two years as president with the public. It should be remembered that the first lady acts independently of her husband and is a wholly separate media character. On November 15, the book will be made available worldwide, four years after Becoming's publication. From her early years in Chicago's South Side through her adventures as the country's first Black first lady, Becoming followed Obama's life. According to the publisher, it has sold more than 17 million copies worldwide across all platforms and has been translated into 50 different languages. Obama claimed that the book's purpose is to provide light and balance to gloomier times. She said in the video message, "Maybe we'll be a bit steadier with the awareness that none of us needs to go through any of this alone.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
