“The Deep Note, the distinctive synthesized crescendo that is THX’s audio trademark, is one of the most iconic sounds in all of film. For the effects firm’s 35th anniversary, they’ve now shared the sheet music behind the sound.”
TV And Films
The shows and movies I like (or don’t).
Solo was fun. My current high-water mark for “new actors inhabiting characters without just mimicking original actors” is the nuTrek films (esp. Urban as McCoy); while nuHan isn’t quite that good, he wasn’t bad. Lots of fun moments and nods to the rest of the series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️½
Today’s stupid humor. Blame an overly tired brain in the middle of the night.
This Twitter juxtaposition made me laugh this morning.
My shirt for #StarWarsDay: dun dun dun, dun dun-dun, dun dun-dun…. May the Fourth be with you! (#llap 🖖)
TrekMovie has an analysis of the #StarTrek #Discovery promo video posted today, including stills of DIS’s take on the TOS uniforms. I think I like the blend of TOS and DIS styles they came up with. Here’s hoping season two is a bit more to my liking than season one was. 🖖
Nice collection of renders of the DIS version of the Enterprise collected by TrekMovie. Gotta admit, I think this version of the ship is growing on me, and these artists’ work presenting it from different angles helps.
With Labyrinth getting mentioned a lot due to the upcoming theatrical event, I think it’s worth linking to this excellent fan theory about the story’s background. “…of course she’s Sarah. They were all Sarah.”
Aw, bummer. Harry Anderson — Night Court‘s Judge Harold T. “Harry” Stone — has died. Night Court was one of the formative sitcoms of my youth.
My Saturday morning #nwc41 shirt: geektrolling! #starwars #startrek 🖖
