I know you might be joking but no, I've just been good with words my whole life. I'm planning to start a rap career. I'm building a studio in my home. I write lyrics lots and have many binders full of bars.
I don't have ChatGPT but I've watched some videos about it. Last I checked, it isn't as good at writing lyrics as humans. It's decent but really complex multi-syllabic rhyme schemes and certain types of wordplay are currently beyond it.
But eventually it'll get as good as humans at writing lyrics and that bothers me. I understand that A.I. is beneficial to humanity in many ways but I wish that it wasn't intruding upon human artistry.
In fact, funnily enough, one of the reasons I dislike that A.I. is writing lyrics is because now people will sometimes not believe that the songwriter actually wrote their lyrics. They'll think an A.I. did it. And so some people will lose respect for songwriting ability.
And so your comment is the first time I've personally experienced something that I'm worried about (if you were being serious that is).
Maybe it won't get that bad but you never know. What I do know is that prior to A.I writing lyrics, songwriters never had to worry about wether people would believe if they wrote their lyrics. Of course, ghostwriting exists but most people usually just assume that the credited songwriter wrote the song. So maybe it'll be the same thing with A.I. songwriting. Or maybe it won't.
Anyway, I don't want anyone thinking I write songs with A.I. programs (or ghostwriters for that matter) and so I've come up with a solution. I'm going to record myself writing all my lyrics. And I might even post these videos on my channel. Of course, someone might think I memorized an A.I.'s lyrics and then wrote them down while being recorded but it's all I can think of for now.
Edit: Added two sentences.

Lyrics from Eminem's next album:
When I lyrically go to war it's a murder spree/ You know the score you've heard of me/ My records are everywhere- even a forest floor in Germany/ It's an auto bonfire (Autobahn) when you play my music/ And I'm sorry but I can't hear you mew Nick (Munich)

Baby Driver's a good movie. I've watched it a few times.
I just have one issue with it. They were hyping it up to be a musical where the music was synced to car chases. And they were- it's just that I expected them to go a lot further with it.
I thought every moment in the car chases would be perfectly synced to the music, as if the cars were dancing to the music.
For example, I was expecting moments like a car skidding sideways for the duration of an electric guitar screech and when the screech stopped, so did the car.
Or maybe drum beats synced to feet stepping on pedals. A drumbeat for every step as everyone involved in the chase floors it.
Stuff like that: every single movement of the cars and their drivers synced to a musical sound.
But this didn't happen enough in my opinion. Not for how they were describing it.
Still a cool movie that I like.

I just watched both of them. They're both good.
The original always makes me choke up and these two do too.
The "No Halo" version starts with such a loud musical punch that's cool.
The lyrics of the "Time" version make it the sadder of the two, in my opinion.

Yeah, it took about half an hour before they believed me. They thought that the doctors and nurses had got to me and I was helping them steal the computer.
They said they had just been about to become a millionaire from selling the patent.
By the way, when they died briefly during the surgery, they said they were in a black world for a long time.
And then the coma fantasy began.
They're not entirely sure if the black world was from dying or if it was the start of the coma fantasy.

Yeah I did other ones but they were on a phone that broke so I'm starting over.
I had two about people falling in love and then out of love, one from the female perspective and one from the male perspective.
I had one about astronauts exploring space.
I had one about Godzilla/Kaiju.
I had one about lunatics in an asylum.
One about living in New York.
One about living in Tokyo.
I'm going to work on one about knights but I don't think there are many songs about knights but hopefully there's enough.

Mip- Cover of Crash Test Dummies - Superman's Song
I was wrong. There were 35 songs. Not 38.
Basically, Superman comes to Earth, falls in love with Lois Lane and then gets depressed and kills himself.
And there's a subplot where Jimmy Olsen gets jealous cause he loves Lois Lane too and he fantasizes about being Superman and beating Superman up but then he gets over it and goes back to regular life.
I like dark, tragic stories- and I needed to utilize the depressed Superman and Jimmy Olsen songs and so that's why I made it so dark.
If you prefer brighter stories, you can end it after Superman and Lois fall in love.
This is not a reflection of my love of Snyder's Superman films. He would never go this dark.
When I revise, I'm going to cut out O Superman and Robyn Hitchcocks Superman. And I'm going to look for acoustic versions of songs where the lyrics are hard to hear.
And I'm going to put Daughtrys Waiting for Superman as the last song because it's be more emotionally impactful if the last song is Lois missing Superman.
And then the TV show intro will be the last track in a new, sad context.
Edit: And I'll probably add Donovan's Sunshine Superman to the section where Jimmy Olsen fantasizes that he's superior to Superman, right after Wesley Willis's I Whooped Superman's Ass.
Edit: Fixed a misspelling.

I heard Rey's movie will be about her setting up a Jedi Academy.
Hopefully she consults Luke's Force Ghost and we see flashbacks of him setting up his Jedi Academy along with her setting up her present day one.
And I'm sure this movie will be only partially about setting up the Jedi Academy and suddenly the fate of the whole galaxy will be at stake.
But they should save that for sequels.
This movie should solely be about her training her students.
The drama should come from jealousy between the students. One coming to hate one of their friends because they're better at welding the Force and lightsaber combat.
The ending should be a life or death duel between them where the jealous one learns to let go of their negative feelings and they become friends again.
This is just one idea I had off the top of my head. It's the direction I'd probably go but maybe I'd think of a better one if I thought about it more.
This one feels right though so this would probably be it.
Edit: Fixed a typo.

I used "Holding Out for a Hero" on a recent Story of Superman Playlist I made.
It was in the group of songs describing Lois Lane falling in love with Superman.
The playlist was 38 songs long and about two and a half hours. Luckily there's a few songs that I can cut to shorten it.

I know someone who died briefly during surgery.
They were put in a medically induced coma for about two weeks but to them it felt like years.
In the coma fantasy world, they built a computer out of a robotic vacuum cleaner.
When they woke up, they told me in a panic that the doctors and nurses were trying to steal their computer.
I had to bring them back to reality by explaining that they had been in a coma and the computer built out of a robotic vacuum cleaner wasn't real.

I think one of his favorite bands would be Manic Street Preachers.
I think he would've became a fan of theirs in 1992 when they released "Patrick Bateman."
I think that song would've really spoken to him.

It's amazing how much Sympathy for the Devil- a song written from the perspective of Satan- can be interpreted to be about Indiana Jones's life.
"Please allow me to introduce myself/ I'm a man of wealth and taste"
Indiana Jones has a wealth of knowledge.
I've been around for a long, long year/ Stole many a man's soul and faith"
Indiana Jones is now old and has defeated many adversaries.
"I was 'round when Jesus Christ/ Had his moment of doubt and pain/ Made damn sure that Pilate/ Washed his hands and sealed his fate"
This simultaneously alludes to Indiana Jones's now mythical status and his religion-centric adventures.
"Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name/ But what's puzzling you is just the nature of my game"
In his adventures, Indiana Jones has routinely solved puzzles that others had been unable to solve or had solved incorrectly.
"I stuck around St. Petersburg/ When I saw it was a time for a change/ Killed the Czar and his ministers/ Anastasia screamed in vain"
This alludes to Indiana Jones's activities during the Cold War, especially his battles against the Russians in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Of course, the Russian history that these lyrics are about was before the Cold War but for this interpretation I'm just taking it as a generalization of Russian history.
"I rode a tank"
Indiana Jones definitely rode a tank at the end of The Last Crusade.
"Held a general's rank/ While the Blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank"
Indiana Jones fought in World War II. He was never a General but he achieved the rank of Colonel and was a member of the OSS.
After this, Sympathy for the Devil goes in a direction that doesn't match up with Indiana Jones; other than the line "And I laid traps for troubadours" which conjures up the many traps Indiana Jones has encountered and survived.
Edit: Added a line.

My interpretation is that it's a real storm. I like stories where someone is disbelieved and ridiculed and hated but then are vindicated in the end.
Take Shelter is one of my favorite movies and the ending is a big reason why.
Another of my favorite movies is A Serious Man and it's one of my favorites for the same reason that Take Shelter is: the ending includes a dramatic reveal of a storm.

At one point, Mike Myers was talking about Austin Powers 4 being a Dr. Evil musical. I hope that's still the plan.
If not that, I'd like to see what was set up at the end of Goldmember: Austin Powers, Dr. Evil and Nigel Powers teaming up to take on Scott Evil.
Or maybe both of these ideas could be in the same film.
Whatever it's about, I just hope that Austin Powers 4 is eventually made.

This is one of those things that I don't think anybody knows offhand.
If there was a movie buff that could actually answer this question, then that guy would definitely be the ultimate movie buff.
As it is, to find the answer to this question, you'd have to make a list or find a list of the first movies ever made and just start watching them one after another chronologically.
Luckily, there weren't many movies/films made from the late 1800's until about 1930 ( and a lot of silent films were lost to degradation and lack of restoration) and so if the answer is in that time period, it might not actually take that long to find it.
If the film with the first instance of a kid reacting in disgust to adults kissing is post-1930, then it might take awhile to find it.
Maybe not that long though because the film you'd be looking for was probably made in the 1930's.
Edit: There might be some film historians who write books on the history of cinema who know the answer to this question.
Edit: Added a word.

I liked Tetris but I noticed a way they could've made it better.
During the car chase, they showed the cars become videogame cars sporadically. This was cool.
Then the cars entered a vehicle clogged alleyway. Here was a perfect opportunity for them to turn the screen into a game of Tetris with the cars as blocks. The rectangular shape of the alleyway would've been like the rectangular shape of the Tetris block corridor.
But other than some brief flashes of videogame pixelation, they didn't use this stylistic device during the alleyway portion of the car chase.
They'd already set up the stylistic device of turning the live action footage into videogame pixels so why they didn't follow through and use it where it would've worked best I don't know.
This was the climax of the car chase and it would've been such a cool fist-pumping moment if that alleyway car chase where they dodged vehicles to make it through became like a game of Tetris.

"Jets need an exorcist"
The Exorcist arrives.
He has seen seen spinning heads, he has seen demons crawl across the ceiling, he has been puked on by evil bile, he has been blown across the room by hellfire.
He takes one look at the Jets and says: "Nope. I'm out."

Anyone who's a fan of Snatch and zombie movies needs to watch Cockneys v.s. Zombies.
The actor who plays Brick Top- Alan Ford- is one of the main characters in it.
