Brilliant to see RETURN TO OZ on a good 70mm release print 41 years to the day from its premiere. Walter Murch gave top drawer Q&A with anecdotes about Michael Sundin, Freddie Francis, Nicol Williamson and… Paul Daniels?

There are many, many cool moments in the documentary ('Her Name Was Moviola') but my favourite is when the only way to watch their synced footage is on Stanley Kubrick's old machine, and you see Murch (3 Oscars) geek out a little bit. And later he goes back with Mike Leigh, and Leigh geeks out too.

Saw Her Name Was Moviola with a crowd of NERDS and Murch in the room. Bears many repeat viewings. In a short time gives a complete and fun perspective on the care and thought put into celluloid editing, and editing as a dialogue between filmmakers. But ffs stop asking these guys about AI you normies

On the evening of Alex Pretti's murder, Tim Cook put on a tuxedo and attended the Bezos bribery film Melania. And then this. Scum.
In response to the killing of two U.S. citizens by federal immigration officers, Apple CEO Tim Cook sent a note to his staff praising Trump for “his openness to engaging on issues that matter to us all”

I’ve been on my pre-surgery diet for two weeks, and just have a few more days to put up with it. Once I can eat what I want again, I’m going to have the best meal ever!! What is it about the moment you’re told you’re not allowed something that you want it even more?
