Happy Anniversary to my parents, Harry and Barbara Babasin, on what would have been their 75th wedding anniversary... married on January 24th, 1950, after only two weeks of courtship... here they are on that day with my mother's parents, Russ and Marybell... always love to my parents ♥️

While everyone argues over Leon's Nazi salute, the climate is that much closer to collapsing... stupid distractions while the Earth dies...

It's Confirmed. A Major Atlantic Ocean Current Is Verging on Collapse.
Last year a concerning study suggested one of Earth's major ocean currents is racing towards collapse.

So, my son graduated Summa Cum Laude in Environmental Engineering - there's a cold spot of ocean temps near Greenland that appears in no climate change models - it shows the AMOC slowing to a crawl - the same ocean current that broke down in The Day After Tomorrow - shit's about to get real...

🚨NEW: Donald Trump has called Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde “nasty” and demand she apologize for her sermon yesterday at the National Cathedral that called for justice for the poor and marginalized.

REPOST if you stand with Bishop Budde against Donald Trump’s hatred!

Sadly, Jeannot Szwarc, director of Jaws 2, has passed away at the age of 85... he was only the second director I worked for when I was the tender age of 22... to say it was a difficult set to work on is an understatement - the Gulf of Mexico... memories that I will always cherish... R.I.P. Jeannot ♥️

THROUGHOUT L.A. - yesterday, it smelled like smoke, like wood burning - today, it smells toxic, like plastic burning... way different and much more lethal - it is a sickening smell that I am sure will be damaging to anyone with any kind of respiratory problems... PLEASE be careful if you are outside

Tonight on Svengoolie - Abbott and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - this was 1 of 3 Abbott and Costello movies my grandfather, Russell Schoengarth, was film editor on... Russell worked for Universal for more than 40 years with 150+ films to his credits as far back as My Man Godfrey in 1936!!!

My father recorded the first pizzicato cello tracks in jazz history in 1947 with the Dodo Marmarosa Trio on his famous DIAL Sessions... he formed his own orchestra that featured such luminaries as Zoot Sims, Hal McKusick, and Jimmy Giuffre...

It used to be very political as to who received screen credit on a movie - on Jaws 2 we had more than 50 SPFX and only two people got credit... thankfully that changed in the early 80's and I received my first credit on John Carpenter's The Thing - here's a conceptual drawing of the kennel sequence

Back in 1977, I had the privilege of working on the SPFX crew of Jaws 2 - seven months on location in Navarre Beach, FL at a luxury Holiday Inn where the production crew was based... I took this shot from the deck of the ship next to the camera crane lowering the cameraman in the water - cheers!

Here's a YouTube clip of my father in the Howard Hawks classic film, A Song Is Born, 1948 - he was Benny Goodman's bassist at the time - this is Lionel Hampton on vibes, Mel Powell on piano, Louie Bellson on drums, Al Hendrickson on guitar, and Harry Babasin on bass
