Movies ← Megan knows arse-all about...

(Holidailies Day #10) Got into a knitting and mainlining tv cycle after work (started watching ‘Penny Dreadful’, which I am still not sure is good, but is damned intriguing thus far, and has a lot of male nudity, so bonus). It’s blizzardy. It feels appropriate. Unfortunately, I am exhausted and feel like I’ve forgotten everything ...

#100BM Day 59 Last time I went to Edinburgh was in 2008, six years ago. I arrived on a day when I didn’t have any tickets to Fringe shows, so I went to the movies.

#100BM Day 53 A short thing today, since I’m at work, and I’m lazy, and I wrote a longer thing yesterday. But I need to make a different kind of short thing. A video. Just a text preamble of 5-10 seconds to play before a warning that plays before a movie. Anyone got advice on ...

Today is the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage. Never heard of it? That’s not terribly surprising. It was a huge deal at my old workplace, yet I had forgotten about it entirely until the hugely talented and interesting Elizabeth Klinck tweeted a link this morning. Why is this a big deal? In the era of ...

I don’t watch nearly as many movies as I would like to, nor nearly as many as I used to, but I appreciate that there are definitely movies that benefit from the cinema experience (initial viewings of stuff that require concentration, like Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy, or Big Effects-y superhero movies like most things in ...
