Catherine O'Hara was an absolute legend. 'After Hours' looms large in my personal mythology.
There seem to be a few things wrong here, not least of which is the obvious use of AI jankiness. No clothes and all that. www.uxtigers.com/post/no-more...

Roland Deschain, the last gunslinger, stares contemplatively across the sea as waves gently lap the shore. Footprints can be seen in the damp sand leading to where he sits, pistol unstrapped at his hip and bedroll at his side. The sun hangs low but intense, blazing a line of orange across the horizon.

Odd projections mark the sides while spires of varying height sit atop the peak like chaotic crenelations.

The rib supports of its wings are thick and spiked, but the flesh between is tattered and showing through at the edge of its wings. A cloud of orange billowing smoke rises behind. Lines of fiery debris launch in random directions. A spire of rock rises from the ocean as a tiny figure perches atop faces the massive beast.
