I just watching a video that mentioned Billy Zane, and it made the think that I haven't watched Demon Knight in like 20+ years. Maybe that's worth a revisit for a future video. I mean, it's written by the creators of TV's Brimstone, and that's enough for me.

The RealPlayer days of online video. The horror...

I still have a 1995 calendar that's nothing but novel and comic book cover artwork. It's goregous!

I wrote up most of the plot summary, but it's time to work on editing again. As anyone who knows the movie, the plot gets quite complex.

Oh, man, Drew Struzan's departed us.

You know all the hits, of course; the man was a legend. Here's a rejected (!?!?) poster he did for STAR TREK V.

The movie-era USS Enterprise speeding towards a planet that's in the process of exploding. You can HEAR this poster.

I'd follow Kermit to hell and back!

Maybe everyone's bathroom mirrors are like our car's side view mirrors with controls to tilt and pivot up, down, left, and right. LOL!

Rumored restoration vs 4K77.
Notice the details on the Death Star and the more stars not seen in 4K77.

Oh no, we’ve lost Drew Struzan. What an amazing talent…. :(

The Angel Heart video's end is in sight. Maybe another day or two. We'll see. I want to shoot an extra bit or two, but it shouldn't be a stupid amount of work. I'll have to see how the plot summary works out.

Indeed. Jack re-defined masculinity and always had a animal magnetism on screen, no matter what age he was.

I just checked the 4K77 version I have, and the color grade is definitely different at least.

I adore Dirty Rotten Scoundrels! Another one I remember seeing theatrically. It's one of my comfort comedies. Delightful film!

Nick Michalak, RavensFilm Productions @ravensfilm.bsky.social · 1d

I do not trust to hope. It has forsaken these lands.

So some info on a restoration of the Original Star Wars Trilogy seemed to have leaked with screenshots and some info on the sources. Not sure if this is fully legit but I sure hope. #StarWars

I caught this one in theatre way back when.

Dick & Barbara are one of my comfort couples in comics along with Gambit & Rogue.

A guy 54 years old still calling himself "Kid Rock." That should flush all the relevance of his opinion down the toilet.

This is a great story from Bokeem Woodbine about trying to do some method actor shit on Dead Presidents. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wkng...

Sounds more like ego stroking more than anything else. You don't hear about Daniel Day-Lewis' method acting causing all these problems and becoming some atrocious diva on set. At least you can see the quality in his performances. Leto just comes off as vapid and hollow.

I've gone back to my desk, but I'm editing in sweat pants. A rarity for me, but I tend to be more comfortable and energetic after nightfall. It's just how I am.

Nick Michalak, RavensFilm Productions @ravensfilm.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah, he was also in Strange Days as the football player turned bouncer that roughs up Ralph Fiennes. Damn shit.

Nick Michalak, RavensFilm Productions @ravensfilm.bsky.social · 2d

I seriously can't stand the guy. If I see he's in anything, it's immediate disinterest now.

Well, I decided to hook up my iMac to my Sony 4K TV because I just can't seem to get any work done sitting in a desk chair. Seems to be going okay. I had to troubleshoot latency and A/V sync issues, but it's all good now in "Game Mode." Progress is direly needed on this video!
