Well, when you put it like that...
Hollywood has spent nearly $600 million trying to bring Matt Damon home.
Have they considered maybe he just doesn’t want to come back?

Physical media is the way to go. Maintain your own library, not one that can close at any time if Netflix hit the button.

Peter Jackson laments the death of physical media:
“You can get Blu-rays and DVDs, but they’re almost a niche product for aficionados now,” Jackson said. “Since they only sell small numbers, no studio wants to put extended features on them or to extend the cuts. We did hours and hours of behind-the-scenes material for The Lord of the Rings DVDs, and so many people have thanked me for doing them. People would watch that stuff over and over again because it inspired them to make films. That’s all gone now, and I think it’s a real shame.”
Do you still get real books and DVDs?

Rediscovering P.G. Wodehouse after so many years away and I’d forgotten just how sharp and joyful the writing is. If you’ve revisited an old favourite lately, who was it and how did it hold up?

Has anyone else sat down to watch the, highly rated, "Widow's Bay"... and not enjoyed it at all? Or, is that just me?

It's not a massive, ornate iron gate.
It's an optical illusion staircase by Spanish visual artist Gonzalo Borondo, chosen as the best urban artwork in France.

I've made author book trailers on Adobe software for years.
I just switched to DaVinci Resolve... and honestly?
Your next trailer is about to look completely different. 😀Here's why that's a GOOD thing:

Then there's Fusion for visual effects.
Particle effects for fantasy. Glitch transitions for sci-fi. Cinematic text reveals for literary fiction.
Things that used to mean juggling multiple Adobe apps now happen in one place.

"But will my trailer still look professional?"
More than professional. My creative toolbox just got bigger.
New software doesn't mean starting over. It means everything I've learned about pacing, storytelling, and hooking a reader in 60 seconds; now with better tools.

This is a brilliant homage to all things Bond. The visuals, music and sound design are all terrific.
If the game is only 20% of this, I'm still in.
