At the end of Chapter 20, The Diving Skid, Kobna Holbrook-Smith reads “Peter’s face is unexpected wet” and I am crying. An audiobook has never made me cry. Kobna’s line reading had me choking, I couldn’t swallow. Great performance.

RIP Val Kilmer. My gods you were something else. I’ll save Heat for the weekend; it’s too long for a weeknight.
But I remembered I love Tony Scott. So it’ll be Deja Vu with Denzel and Val from 1995.

Thought I had pita bread for tonight’s lamb kebab dinner but I didn’t. So I decided to make a batch. Success!

#TwinPeaks premiere was my favourite group friend event. It was at Frank & Carol's in Evanston. Dozen or more of us crowded around their Sony Trinitron; he made bank.
Silence, shock, the WTF glances.
Thanks for the great freaky memories, #DavidLynch. You changed how I learned experienced film.

Perhaps in my next life I can be a watchmaker or creator of automata.

I find this baffling. Looking at last issue, Cinefex articles had photos of stop motion puppets, HMU & appliances, shooting models, sets like the Mandalorian Razor Crest cockpit. Rarely VFX artists at their monitors.
This is much too modest : this is definitely blindly shitting.

Our favourite comfort anime this year is Spy x Family. So my brilliant bf made this tableau of Bondo and Anya. 3D print and painted.
I love it. Merry Christmas from New Zealand. 🎄🎅🏼🧑🏼🎄

This sweet mashup reminds me of a restaurant in Phineas and Ferb. It's belongs to the parents of Isabella Garcia-Shapiro.

Can anyone tell me the name of the artist or studio who did this fantastic vector poster and campaign for the collaboration of Star Trek + MAC way back in 2016?

I can’t believe I saw The Fifth Element in the cinema yesterday. I don’t know if I saw it first run. This film is a major reason I went into VFX.
I keep wanting to say “beautiful print” but you know what I mean. It was just lovely to see.

We saw #TheCreator by Gareth Edwards last night in 4k goodness at The Embassy in Wellington. What a thing of beauty. Acting, directing, sound design, and most of all gorgeous VFX + SFX by #ILM, #WetaWorkshop and their fellow vendors. See it on the big screen, it really is worth it.
