2 years gone, and the world is a far less funny place without Wampler in it.

Whoa! How did I miss Brian K. Vaughan (Creator of Saga, Y: The Last Man, Paper Girls, Ex Machina, Spectators) was co-writing Dune 3?

At 35% human, I think you qualify as a cyborg. Preference in head mounted laser pointer color?

After rewatching the extended LOTR in theaters for the 25th anniversary, I decided to revisit the novels for the first time since middle school. My thoughts around Chapter 8...

A story in two acts. For the record, last year I paid $329.74 (admittedly as part of a Black Friday sale).

With Sophia out here recruiting via text for WB (who it seems are now based out of Indonesia?), I think it’s safe to say, the film industry is on it’s way back up guys.

Had to open Aspera to send off some VFX shots for a short, and clearly it's been a minute

Studio Marketing Dept: We need more Italian things for this end montage! The Alto Knights Trailer Editor: Say no more.

A bowl of spaghetti bolognese that appears as part of a quick cut montage in the trailer for the new De Niro gangster film The Alto Knights.

The local movie theater by my in-laws is telling the people what they want to know.

Theater marquee is pointing out that Russell Crowe is not in Gladiator II.

We were a VHS household until I got a DVD player for a High School Graduation gift. I'm not sure what happened to my letterboxed VHS of The Matrix.

Ray is very much a fan of warm laundry. Me folding it? Less so.

I think I remember seeing footage of that.

When I was working on Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, the other assistant editor & I discovered the poster for Day of the Dolphin when we were theorizing what Rick's post August 8 career might look like (before QT answered it in the novel). We mocked up fake versions and hung them in the cutting room

Watched Wim Wenders’ Perfect Days tonight and really dug it but couldn’t keep from thinking this.

I don't know how this could not be going through everyone's minds when interviewing/pitching on any future projects.

2023 proving to be a real kick in the teeth for fans of large scale cinematic immersive theater.

When my wife got taken down by Covid two weeks ago, I got her this little stuffed Frankenstein ('s Monster) to keep her company. Now that she's recovered, our dog has decided that it is his.

Are we doing timeline shots on here? Things are shaping up.

Unpacking our posters at the new house and was reminded of this banger of a @danieldanger.bsky.social print that was chilling in our flat file. I worked with a guy who was an assistant editor on this a few years back and I wanted to inundate him with questions.

This surfboard has now moved with me on two separate occasions since I got it ten years ago and I often consider throwing it on eBay, just to see what would happen.

Been moving all week and rediscovering relics of halcyon days of old that had slipped behind a dresser.

Some friends had a 1973 Prom themed wedding last night, and I think we clearly understood the assignment.

Attack the Gas Station (1999) 4 young guys try to rob a gas station and when they discover there isn’t any money in the till, they have to run the station overnight so they have something to steal. Kind of an inverse riff on The Warriors.
