The Cloud Atlas 4K disk from @shoutstudios.bsky.social includes a new 2-hour retrospective documentary, which reassembles the team to discuss a project they poured their whole hearts into 14 years ago. I found it deeply touching.
The Wachowski faithful should not hesitate on this release.

Triennial meeting of the Payakan fan club was a rousing success.
FIRE & ASH has more themes, more drama, more sex, more drugs, and more whale subtitles than I ever could have dreamed. I loved it.
I'll see as many of these movies as they care to make.

I think a modern, full-motion version of these summary cards with the characters posing for camera would be charming. Filing away for future use.

99 years ago today, Mary Poppins made her first appearance in a newspaper short story.
I found it a few years back, after searching for more than a decade, and have presented it for comparison at MaryPoppinsAndTheMatchMan.com.
