not sure if this makes sense but the thing i like about daft punk's work on tron legacy is that it's "what if daft punk did a movie score" as opposed to tron ares which is "what if a movie score was a NIN album"

i'm surprised there hasn't been more writing on how the boom/bust cycle of the marvel film biz basically mirrors the 90s comic book industry crash? like even down to the infinity gauntlet marking the top of the boom period, preceding endless crossovers and gimmicks that crashed the industry.

there was a five-ish year stretch where i was designing almost all the non-licensed merch, designing all of the signage and video displays, and also physically working the booth from show open to show close at the pax west bungie store booth
good times but pretty much burned me out on cons forever

every year i get a couple twitter or linkedin dms with unsolicited "UX case studies" and every time they consist mostly of a bunch of new feature wishcasting and very little UI/UX work.

i'm not sure many game devs (at least the ones on social media) have quite come to grips with how much what most of us traditionally know as "the games industry" was entirely based upon that industry having an incredible bull run of double-digit growth every year for 20+ years.

i only remember one and it was people freaking the fuck out/crying hysterically/leaving the theatre at an opening weekend showing of the blair witch project
Got me thinking.. What's the strongest reaction you've seen an audience member have to a scene in a cinema?
During the birthday party scene in SIGNS I saw a whole row of young women literally throw their popcorn in the air like a cartoon.

Someone in my audience had a very audible negative reaction to the dog scene in TOGETHER. So that was fun!

actually i forgot “I looked at this games concurrent player count on steamcharts: find out what it is inside”

whenever i feel myself starting get pissed off by content creators/critics/enthusiast media outlets etc. i think about the chokehold harry knowles/AICN had on the movie industry during the late 90s to early 00s... now millennials my age struggle to remember him, mandela effected out of existence.

it's appropriate that this is the coda of lazarus because i think biggest impact the series will have is making the notoriously divisive wolf's rain look WAY better in retrospect

Another great work by @filmsdelover.bsky.social 🖖
“'Marvel fatigue' alone can’t explain why Star Wars is experiencing the exact same trend, following almost the same timeline. It raises the question of whether this is more of a Disney+ issue than a Marvel or Star Wars one."
