The last three Spanish films I’ve seen; The Coffee Table, Kidnapped, and Cell 211 have all been so incredibly bleak.

Saw a familiar joke in ’After the Thin Man’ and went down a rabbit hole of finding the earliest filmed version.

Great YouTube video where a guy builds a 16mm camera from scratch. Explains really well how film cameras work.

When you record a long YouTube video and don’t notice that the overhead mic is slowly sagging into frame so you have to reshoot it… 😞

I just learned they’re doing a ”Dancing with the Stars” and ”Shark Week” mashup called ”Dancing with Sharks”.
Like, how do you even make jokes anymore?

If you didn’t get that Bogart is evil in ”The Petrified Forest” the way they frame him against the background may give some subtle hints…
