Here’s an interesting little curio. Was hanging at a friend's place and the conversation wandered to ancient times; when she was 16, an upstate-New-York girl, she took off with a carload of friends and went to Woodstock. She pulled out an original program, dropped from a helicopter near stage-front, and her ticket, uncanceled because by the time they got there the systems had broken down.

Just re-watched tv series #TheExpanse (yes, I've read the books) and the last scene always kills me.
The Rocinante with that backdrop. I'm not saying it's as utopian as Trek but at least it's hopeful.
I hope humanity makes it. Looking around at now, I doubt we will.
But I hope we do.

Having just watched #Jaws for the first time in ages, I was stunned by the famous opening sequence ... but not by its cinematography or acting or editing - but by the never-ending chain of in-your-face #continuity errors in lighting once the girl enters the water: one moment we have a low Sun and a red sky, then we have the Sun near the zenith (with a day for night effect) then low again and so on, for several cycles.
Now #Spielberg, is there supposed to be some hidden message here? Well, there isn't.
(Once it's day, fortunately, this problem is gone, and a great movie unfolds, still fresh after 50 years. And I know, you shouldn't mess with a masterpiece, but Lucas added characters to Star Wars IV, and Cameron corrected a wrong star pattern in Titanic, so may be Spielberg could just, for an anniversary special edition ... o.k., I shut up. ;-)

If you watched cartoons in the 90s or early 2000s, you probably heard some of Guy Moon's amazing theme songs and scores. Guy passed away earlier this month after injuries from a car accident- I wrote this short piece over at Animated TV Blog to commemorate his work: https://animatedtvblo…
