🎶 Reuben Reuben, I’ve been thinking, What a great world this would be, If perhaps there was a sandwich, Sauerkraut and pastrami. 🎶 Rachel Rachel, I’ve been thinking, What a wonder this will be! I’d prefer that it be corned beef, And we name it after me.

Hey @NYTGames , your two most popular games have the Enter and Delete buttons on opposite sides. Could we consider swapping the locations in Spelling Bee so that they more closely match Wordle?

Iain Neil received the Gordon Sawyer award tonight for his long history in lens development. “Remember that lenses have been here longer that any type of movie camera” His lenses have been used on thousands of films.

Looking through drafts to see what I hadn’t yet tweeted. This one seems most appropriate today: Nothing is so strongly defended as a bad decision.

This collection of reactions to Wavelinks is great. I looking forward to the responses when folks get their deliveries next month.

Craighill and ArtOfPlay have produced one of my puzzle designs! And it turned out quite nice. Check out Wavelinks on Kickstarter (with limited edition iridescent available for a short time): kickstarter.com/projects/cra…

Something interesting happened with cue marks with the increase of digital filmout of internegatives. Normally, cues marks were physically added to the dupe negs before final prints were struck. With digital filmout, the cues were occasionally added during that filmout.

One particularly interesting example was for The Incredibles. A very subtle swirling Incredibles logo was used as the cue mark. @wh0rfin called it the Incredicue.

In 1992, PDI-LA was on the fourth floor of Raleigh Studios. On that same hallway was the office of Burt Metcalfe. Early in my time there, we chatted as we rode up on the elevator. He was one of the first famous people I met in Hollywood, and he was super friendly and nice.

Burt Metcalfe is gone now. We all loved him. If you enjoyed MASH it was in large part because of Burt. he was a producer on every season and ran the show for 7 years. We were very close. We wrote together, directed together and inspired each other. He was such a good person.

The novel All You Need Is Kill (on which the film Edge Of Tomorrow was based) has this interesting chart on the table of contents page. I’ve been referring to it at the end of each section of a chapter.

The virtual production team of Jungle Book had software programs for dealing with camera footage. This toolset was called Debayer Necessities.

After enjoying Top Gun Maverick in the theater, I drove home in two minutes thirty seconds with my mask on.
