Of all the causes I could have possibly guessed, the LA fires turning out to be deliberate arson by a man from Florida with AI psychosis was not high on that list

It’s been a combo of “stuff I already did all coming out in close proximity,” plus “content that’s actually okay to post about and suggest,” which I am intentionally making sound more sketchy than necessary

YouTube video by Prime Video Hollywood Hustler: Glitz, Glam, Scam - Official Trailer | Prime Video

I sound designed "Hollywood Hustler," out October 17th on Amazon Prime, and it is just as sleazy and sensational as the trailer makes it out to be! And perhaps, a hard look at what's too often the reality behind fulfilling the "American Dream." www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyBo...

"FUCK OFF"

I’m staring at you in a way that it’s hard to tell if I’m furious or not, but then you hear the beeping of a giant dump truck full of money pulling up

My parents for some reason got a can of Irn-Bru for the kids to try (they don’t really drink soda?), so I snuck a couple sips for Science. Good when cold, and then immediately vile when it’s no longer icy, which was fun to discover. Better than expected; still prefer Scotland’s other national drink

Hahah I never would do that either, but having the discipline to shelve the game for that long to do it honorably would be quite the feat

Haha just to check, since nuance is hard to read online, I meant the bizarre time-based way to kill him without fighting, where you wait long enough IRL and he dies of old age. Apologies if you got that and just answered me straight anyways 😂 Have fun!

are you just gonna wait a week, or

With New Donk City, we can deduce the existence of Donk, England, and Donkshire pudding

I’m really enjoying Alien: Earth, but the Western sci-fi retro future (i.e. “dated”) Yutani office was a Bit Much. I love throwback chonky analog computers, reminders of childhood orientalism, less so

Somehow, original taste returned

That’s precisely what I used it for recently myself! 🫠 It was thankfully pretty effective

It’s very much a “1+1=2” experience, so I do not think you need to try it 😂

Espresso and sparkling water is a thing at some “fancier” coffee shops here - and honestly it’s fine - but I probably would not back it up in a street fight 😂

America is a vibe

Sister-in-law is visiting and wanted to do some retro games, so we played the first Mario Party on N64. By the end of the game, my eight year old was absolutely livid and unresponsive, proving the game is timeless in its devastation

WHY IS IT IN MONO

Because of Bananza, the kids have questions about the old Donkey Kongs, and they’re about to find out I always was a full completion maniac

Hardcover book “IMMORTALITY: Design Works” precariously photographed on a table

Book opened to a script page

Book opened to interview: ‘It’s little wonder that all this effort resulted in Senzaki and Snow winning Outstanding Achievement in Sound Editing (Game Dialogue/ADR) at the Motion Picture Sound Editors’ Golden Reel Awards in February 2023. “I think in part that was because it was such a weird entry,” Senzaki says, modestly (if accurately).’

Close-up photo of the book’s cover, with a portrait of Marissa Marcel, cut off just below the eyes

The beautiful IMMORTALITY: Design Works! It’s absolutely massive and features the full screenplay (all 400+ pages), as well as a wealth of interviews, that I’m very excited to read. I’m also interviewed in the book, and I am now immortalized (a-haaaah; sigh) in print calling the game “weird.”

"DEVO" the documentary is out on Netflix tomorrow, August 19th! It covers the band's history and messaging with a surreal, whimsical vibe that feels like a direct extension of their work. I had the pleasure of sound designing the film!

I dunno, I’ve been itching to see the epic adventure that calls him from the cave, proves he’s actually a kind-hearted hero, and ends with an absolutely earned button where we wrap right before the moment he meets Frodo

“Rental Family” trailer just came out; I had a lot of fun sound designing this film! youtu.be/n0pqP6ClcE8?...

A friend sent me this, asking if this person, or @krotos.bsky.social had anything to do with Jurassic World Rebirth, the answer is NO, I have no idea why Krotos is seemingly running what may be a pretty misleading ad that sort of implies it. But to be clear, I do not use Krotos software EVER.

Six year old said his brother kept saying “the n word,” which turned out to be “naa na na naa naaa” in a teasing tone

Boy Band - Drama, Suspense | Daily Short Pick A member of a famous K-Pop boy band, whose face has been disfigured by an accident, must undergo surgery to repair his fracturing image.

Boy Band is an awesome award-winning k-pop horror short film that I sound designed and mixed, and now be watched online for free! Yay free stuff! filmshortage.com/dailyshortpi...

I was a sound designer on “Rental Family,” directed by Hikari and starring Brendan Fraser, premiering at Toronto International Film Festival!

My kid chatted with Brendan for an hour about Star Wars during production downtime; he is a very nice guy so I’m rooting for this film 😛

screenshot of nomination list

"100 Foot Wave" is Emmy nominated again this year, for both sound editing and sound mixing! And maybe other categories; I dunno, I have a short attention span and didn't look!🤪

oh no; I hope it’s nothing serious or long-term!

Having the paleontologist in the new Jurassic refer to a mosasaur, pterosaur, and sauropod as “three dinosaurs” is horseshit

This is the only hyper-focused opinion I will be posting about this movie
