Watching a 35mm open matte scan of THE TERMINATOR. Here it shows the uncropped roof rig and cables for the Hunter Killer miniatures.
This grainy filmic print will always be a richer, more ‘Alive’ viewing experience than any 4K restoration. 💀🎞️

Surface pattern designs influenced by nostalgia and family heritage. Amy Stubbs develops her designs using both manual and digital print-making techniques, later applying them to home furnishings and fine art prints.
Amy will be showing at venue 51 during our open weekends …

I read a list of Glass Onion plotholes, and now I think there needs to be a class in school where they explain what a plothole is. Get rid of PE and replace it with that. A character holding a knife is not a plothole.

Don't live in an idea bubble. Surround yourself with people you disagree with but who you still love and respect.

I have edited together for you some rare colour film footage of the queues and London crowds for the Lying In State and funeral procession of King George VI in February 1952. Events, just as today, separated by 70 years.

"I'm proud to announce that this is the most diverse and progressive Oscars ever. Looking out I see people from all walks of life. Every demographic under the sun. Except poor people, obviously. Fuck them."

The reduction of workers to fungible economic units, that can be exploited as ruthlessly as any other resource, is not an accidental outcome of deregulation. It's the whole damn point of it.
