    Singapore put one of the first full AI movies into cinemas last year: “Madam Zheng”. It is absolute garbage, got a 1.6/10 on IMDB and barely anyone watched it. I didn’t find any news articles about it at the time, but the YouTuber Pinely made a video about it with some details and horrible shots.

      The real first one is always the one that eventually at least partially succeeds. History will lose the rest and hand wave them away by making up various reasons it could be disqualified.

        Only us geeks will remember them all in documentaries. I want to watch that AI film with my film buddies. On a bad movie night, going in blind.

        We have decades of mst3k experience. We have watched everything from plan 9 to crossroads to pootie tang to sisterhood of the traveling pants to lobster man from mars to whatever that one Britney or Mariah was in that wasn’t crossroads that was so ooo bad to Alvin 2 the Squeakuel to Lord of the Rings to I could go on. We watch everything.

          Have you seen The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across The Eighth Dimension? Captured the feel of the New Wave 80s better than any other movie, and includes the most unhinged performance of John Lithgow’s career, including my favorite movie quote: “Laugh while you can, Monkey Boy!”

          Really great.
