@Gargron@mastodon.social “I miss when movies were professionally lit, when actors were intentionally blocked, and when more than teal, orange and beige were allowed to be on the screen.”
I mean, come on. Unless you typically speak in hyperbole, this is gibberish unless it's coming from someone who wants nothing to do with the art form.

Just read this: “I wish the Indy sequels were grounded and gritty like ‘Raiders’.”
“Raiders” ended with GHOSTS

Do NOT expect chatbots to give you facts.
I hacked ChatGPT and Google's AI – and it only took 20 minutes

Now THIS is how you do a restoration, and I love this video because it communicates the process to a regular audience quite effectively.

I had one these drum machines in the 80s. The flap with the instructions was so cool.

The full series of "M*A*S*H" is ~$55 on DVD in the U.S., and the best feature is that on the DVD you can watch every single episode WITHOUT the network-insisted-upon laugh track, to see the show as the producers intended it to be seen.

I'm so happy that John and Merlin asked me back to be a guest on their Reconcilable Differences member special. We spoke for nearly two hours about movies, podcasting, parenting, and a bunch of other stuff.
The ONLY WAY to hear it is to become a Relay member so please consider joining now. Sign up at https://www.relay.fm/rd/join
Here's a clip from the show, where I *comment* on how John mispronounces the name of the Letterboxd app.
