I’ve had this open in my browser all day. Then I printed it out and stuck it on the wall. I’ll let you know if it ever gets old.

Not in the least bit surprised that Avatar climbed past Titanic, (my review of the movie is here) but the news did prompt a great thread on Reddit about these cinematic curiosities:

Make with the clicky to embiggen and you’ll see it was Lucas’ way of tipping the hat to Cameron back in 1998. But the Redditors pulled out a few more in response:

I always liked the little friendly digs that crop up in actual movies like the ripped posters in Evil Dead, The Hill Have Eyes and A Nightmare on Elm Street related to raising the horror stakes, but these were new to me. I guess eventually a full set will pop up on Reddit. Keep your eyes open.

Speaking of those two:

I have a few of these kinds of things squirreled away for my talk in June. Not sure how long I have yet, but I will be talking about how Twitter (and the platforms that work so well with it) allow you to pull a few barriers down without the aid of Palitoy.

Just looking at flights to San Francisco for a year end jolly.

Looks like Virgin Atlantic again. Would have taken an X Wing, but not sure they’re welcome under the current administration:

Go watch something else for a bit. I hear the new Alec Guinness movie is top notch:

Still pulling the footage off the camera, but here’s something I did on the LG Viewty:

More to come…
