It's all very clear, I don't understand why it confuses people.

This clip from an old CBC cooking show is giving me mild culture shock. I guess I take the prevalence of pizza for granted, but in Canada in the 1950s it was more of a novelty.

I love the way she pronounces "pizzeria."

So I have a new movie up, called Tired of All These Star Wars:

I'll need to put up another movie soon, so I can bring down the percentage of my videos that have Star Wars references down to 0.5 again.

Here's a video trying to pitch the concept of "Animascope."

So, here's two posters I've seen lately held up as examples of the worst in key art. For the moment, let's ignore how obviously pasted together they are, or how many fingers they may have.

First, let's just look at the facial expressions:

Then consider those facial expressions within the context of the poster.

Both these posters have in common that they were trying to visually tell something about the dynamic of the movie. For that, I commend them.

The second to last statement out of the gravelly-voiced trailer voice-over guy is, "Narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio." I laughed out loud at that. Apparently Leo's good enough to narrate the movie, but he's not good enough to narrate the trailer.

This is a pretty sweet behind-the-scenes for a stop-motion sequence. I like the use of different measuring devices, like the wooden dowels and the tape on the carpet.

Is there any way we can develop a requirement that every time someone remakes an old movie, they have to go on record saying, "Well X is pretty good, but I think we can make it better?"

No half-assed justifications about making it accessible, or updating it. Just a flat-out claim that they think they can improve the movie.

Or we drop the idea of the "remake" and instead approach this as making a new movie based on the same script. In the theatre, if you put on a play that someone else has done before, you're not remaking it, it's just a new interpretation of the source.

...carrying this 3-in-1 Paranormal Research Instrument you're going to get laughed at. EMF is fine, but a thermometer and a flashlight?

You want to be taken seriously, shell out for an IR thermal imaging camera,
and maybe throw in a bat detector while you're at it.
