iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Time to say happy new year and au revoir!! My New Year’s resolution is to get off social media — it’s been a fun year here, hopefully I posted a bunch of cool content, and maybe you discovered something new. I wish you all the best for 2026 to infinity and beyond! ✌️ 🕊️

It’s not only that Akira is one of the wildest and most imaginary films, that it’s entirely hand illustrated makes it all the more mind blowing. This was 1988 — how stunning does it look in the original 35mm scan? #filmsky #cinema #akira #anime 📽️

It’s interesting that Black Sabbath’s “Symptom of the Universe” & Celtic Frost’s “Dethroned Emperor” are from the same era, in that they came out within 10 yrs of one another. [We tend to draw a line in the sand today between 70s proto vs 80s trad — but musically, this was all on the same continuum]

I *think* the artist is Matthew Joseph Peak, son of Bob Peak — who made this, and it always catches my eye

An earlier example of VistaVision — To Catch a Thief. 1955. Dir: Hitchcock. It’s because we now have 4K scans of original 35mm negatives — in this case, not even a 2nd gen interpositive, but the actual original film reel — that we now get to have a film art gallery at home.

One Battle After Another. 2025. Marvelous, deserves all the awards — and just look at the grain, texture & color of that celluloid. Here’s PTA explaining their choice of ‘VistaVision’ — likewise used to shoot The Searchers, Vertigo, North by Northwest, and other 50s epics. #filmsky #cinema #obaa

💯He did the same with the Cavalera guys by setting up the gear and sounds organically to emulate their BtR era — Rizk just knows his old school

And that was before he sold Arnie that damn ‘58 Plymouth Fury!

Wait ‘till AI understands this

Remember when he terrorized the Home Alone kids

Older folks just got it down 🤗

It is not that one yearns for this era. It will never come back, of course. It is that one is thankful to have lived in this timeline. 80s thrash metal on the telly! 📺 #metalsky #sepultura

Yes admittedly it turned into gold 🤣

Not even live — and HE was the fan of the band, like this shit can’t get more tragic

It’s ok to like both Lady Snowblood AND Kill Bill “I want him to witness the extent of my mercy by witnessing your deformed body… I want him to know what I know. I want him to know I WANT him to know. And I want them to know they’ll all soon be as dead as O-Ren” *theme from Yagyu Conspiracy* 👏

I stand by this — Nothing to do with who QT is as a person, but it’s weird that people still accuse him of ripping off 70s B-movies like it’s some revelation. That cat was outta the bag in ‘92 when Reservoir Dogs came out — by people who’d seen The Killing, City on Fire & The Taking of Pelham 123.

Taxi Driver. 1976. Dir: Martin Scorsese. Shot on Eastman Kodak 35mm film stock. All candid shots of NYC in the Summer of ‘75 during the heatwave & sanitation strike. Neon lights and rain-soaked streets. #filmsky #cinema

Glenn Danzig’s letter to Cliff Burton for permission to cover “Green Hell” I’m no handwriting expert but it is cool when people write their g’s and a’s in a typewriter font 🤗

The lyrics to Green Hell by Danzig, handwritten on green paper

The Tascam 4 track. Do you even know how many classic demos were recorded on this warbly, tape hiss little bitch 😭

Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka. Perhaps one of the finest castings in film history. #filmsky #cinema #technicolor

oh I had no clue that was a mom / daughter!!!

Nightmare Logic is a good example of modern-era vintage production • Arthur Rizk used an analog approach • inspired by RiB & ST’s Lights Camera • vintage gear at Echo Lab studios TX • snare based on Metal Church debut • real amps, Marshall tubes • 80s Boss pedals & Ibanez tube screamers #metalsky

Similarly, director Tilman Singer really nailed the night time scenes in 2024’s Cuckoo — and rather than botch the film into complete darkness like so much modern cinema, he actually used lights & shadows perfectly. Or at least, he aspired to hit that Argento benchmark. #filmsky #cuckoo #horror

Suspiria. 1977. Dir: Dario Argento. Of course DA was god-tier when it came to shooting film w/ lights & shadows — this scene was filmed at Königsplatz, Munich, and you’ll notice the coven flying overhead by their shadows. It’s a subtle moment but pivotal overall. #filmsky #suspiria #horror #cinema

It’s how Hitchcock takes his sweet ass time building up the suspension that makes it all the more compelling

This. Thrash — of all genres — should *never* sound perfectly precise, neat and computerized. Modern productions have stripped out all the organic, natural sounds of actual humans playing instruments. Make mistakes. Fret buzz. A bum note The spirit of Thrash is high tops, skateboards, beer & weed.

Agreed — for 1963, he was cutting edge

The Birds. 1963. Dir: Alfred Hitchcock. A hidden camera was setup in a furniture van to get this shot of Tippi Hedren crossing Union Square in San Francisco; watch closely for the ‘invisible cut’ transitioning from exterior to studio. And of course Hitchcock’s dog walking cameo. #filmsky #cinema

Don’t forget the Chinese. They were in the US in the 1800s building railways and infrastructure. Thing is, I’m not sure if republicans today would agree — or at least, I don’t suspect they include non-whites in their criteria for how American an individual can be — aka “Heritage American”

Fist of Fury. 1972. Dir: Wei Lo. This is one of the most beautifully shot fight scenes in kung fu cinema history. #filmsky #brucelee #kungfu #cinema

Soundgarden. “Beyond the Wheel.” 1992. Paramount, Seattle Chris Cornell — • vocal range: 4 octaves • C#2/E2 — A5/E6 • Baritone • “mixed voice”: head & chest • Little to no falsetto I’ll let an actual singer explain *why* all of the above is awesome, I’m just spittin’ facts w/ receipts. #musicsky

Thing is, I went to The Bronx expecting it to look like Death Wish III but it turned out to be a neighborhood with cool mangu and pasta restaurants 🤗

It’s weird because as much as I love action movies and gun fu flicks, I have never — and hopefully will never — own a gun. That said, I became a US citizen this year so I could now if I wanted!! 🤪

You read about how Guislaine Maxwell handled business for Epstein and it’s basically this:

I haven’t tweeted in over a year and I still get love over there 😭

Commando. 1985. Few outside the US knew this back in the 80s, but you couldn’t just walk into a high st shop and buy heavy military-grade weaponry: rocket launchers & hand grenades etc — yes, magnums, Uzi 9mm and AK47s for sure, but not anti-tank bazookas & claymore mines #filmsky #commando #arnie

Wirtz gets his goal: 2-0 !! [Hugo Ekitike with the assist] #liverpool #lfc #livwol

Grav makes it 1-0 [but can we talk about Frimpong’s run & assist] #liverpool #lfc #livwol

I added some ‘nekromantik’ 💀

There is so much beauty in the corners of black metal — the melody here is based on a Norwegian-Danish anti-war, anti fascist song from the 1940s and it works so well
