trying hard to push away the existential dread by working on a "Halloween 4" (1988) project, as one does

this featurette about the making of the dinosaurs of "The End of Oak Street" (2026) is really good,—surprisingly good for a studio-created video, and features my old friend VFX supervisor Jay Cooper and VFX by ILM but PLEASE watch the movie first before watching this video youtu.be/0LpMllnZxBc

I know Variety/Hollywood Reporter/Indiewire/Deadline (and The Golden Globes/GoldDerby) are all owned by the same company, and they basically live off of "For Your Consideration" ads bought by studios, but sometimes some good writing+reporting comes out of those outlets. But not today.
What Will David Ellison Name His Mega Hollywood Studio?
It can't be Paramount Skydance Warner Bros. Discovery. So that leaves a few options...

I'm reasonably aware of how time works but it really blows my mind that the temporal distance between the release of "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" (1982) and the premiere of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" was only FIVE (5) YEARS

"Computers don't think. If we had programmed this to come out a car instead of a monkey, you'd be looking at a hairy Buick." "No Way Out" (1987), with a remarkably prescient summary of how machine learning can work with "restoring" images
a series of images from the movie NO WAY OUT where they do a remarkable job summarizing how machine learning works in "restoring" a photograph

more trains? NO better roads? NO affordable housing? NO better public transportation? NO more solar+wind infrastructure? NO ^ these things that would provably make people’s lives better are expensive and would take too long data centers? NO PROBLEM, HOW MANY DO YOU WANT?

I strongly believe documentaries should present archival news reports, newsreels, and any other found footage in their original aspect ratios. Stop cropping!

We don't give Christopher Nelson and his team enough credit for making the exquisite Myers mask for "Halloween" (2018). It's the first sequel to really nail the mask (and that includes "Halloween II" (1981) which is the original mask but it was warped/stretched in the years between movies.)

the padres and diamondbacks play each other in the final series thus there is no scenario where both teams can win out and both overtake the cubs

Explain to me as if I'm a child why the Cubs have clinched a playoff spot and the Padres — who have a better record — have not yet clinched a playoff spot.

In the podcast I lament the fact that after “Pitch Black”, a true ensemble film, Diesel became a superstar and they decided to rebrand the movie as a VIN DIESEL MOVIE, which removes a lot of the suspense for first-time viewers of this wonderful and-then-there-were-none ensemble thriller.

The vast majority of creatives are struggling. Writers are leaving LA in droves. Directors are driving Uber when they aren't lucky enough to get gigs directing dubs or subs for foreign films. Recognizable actors are finding jobs they won't be recognized in. The whole industry is shitty right now.
