Had a thought that, if you wanted some stuff to think about ahead of time, this section of my video about Masakazu Kubo is basically Source Criticism 101. The rest of the video is good too, but this part is only five minutes: youtu.be/lNKjK_uBalo?...

If you want some good news after McConaughey & Caine sold out to AI - Morgan Freeman, the man everyone loves to impersonate the most, says THIS about AI.

But you'll see the other headline A LOT more thanks to paid boosting by AI advocates. ✌️

Goodbye Tatsuya Nakadai...

Hey fellow authors! Alert for a new scam - AI generated emails pretending to be book clubs, book marketers and reviewers wanting to feature your book. I think when you reply they ask for money. I get a bunch of these a day, it’s very annoying

Oh sorry, I completely messed that up, I didn't realize you were talking about that particular movie. Whoops! Great video btw :)

Didn't they actually make a movie about this?

I remember our excitement when my family received this movie on VHS for Christmas one year. That VHS was watched annually for over a decade, even after we got a DVD player. Better editions have come out since but the one thing they've yet to top is the use of Drew Struzan's art for the cover.

Struzan's artwork didn't just make you want to see the movies, they were just as wonderful, exciting, magical, and entertaining as the movies themselves.

In the current entertainment landscape where quick photoshop jobs and A-I generated slop is used for poster art and promotions, it's a shame this level of talent and craftsmanship has gone ignored by corporations and the general public.

God of War (Bear McCreary):
For me this song is the highlight of this soundtrack (which has a lot of great songs) and really lays the groundwork for the high energy tracks you get to hear in the sequel.

YouTube video by MoviesSound Star Wars V - The Asteroid Field

Star Wars Episode V (John Williams):
Still my most favorite Star Wars movie. And also the second Star Wars soundtrack I got as a present when I was young. This track contains one of the best action cues Williams has ever written (at 2:17). And he has written a lot.

Goodbye Drew Struzan...

In Aurum Vitae, the alchemical circle is formed of 8 elements.
North embodies the human, West the natural, East the elemental, and South the otherworldly.

Only when all are placed T̷Ω̶g̸e̴ṯ̵h̶e̷r̴ does the circle become complete.

Robert Redford made such an incredible impact in film acting in classics like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sting, and All the President's Men, directing films like Ordinary People and Quiz Show, and founding Sundance. What a legacy. I'm very sad to hear of his passing.

If you haven't seen the Sting (Or any other Robert Redford movies) do yourself a favor and watch it.

Goodbye Robert Redford....

Goodbye Graham Greene...

Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them. Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!” Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.” Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face. Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

"I supplied everyone but the typewriter factory. I sold AI generated essays to students, AI detectors to teachers. I even sold image generators to the chuds when they were memeing on my fellow techbros. Never sold to Peter Thiel - not on any moral grounds, in those days his checks always bounced."

Goodbye Hein Boele...

Goodbye Terence Stamp...

Starhawk (Christopher Lennertz):
I don't know much about this game, I actually stumbled on this soundtrack because of the fact that Christopher Lennertz did the music. I will post the first Lennertz score I heard some other time. But this soundtrack is very exciting full of space western music.
