VFX artist and cinema lover in the final stages of dorking around with shear-thinning non-Newtonian polycrystalline fluids. I’m moving over to bluesky

https://t.co/MAtdv3Np5A welp, here’s what I’ve been working on since 2022

@FunMovieTVFan @TheCinesthetic Uhhhh

@latimes Jonathan Gold is rolling in his grave. Shame on you for doing these puff pieces. You know that nobody who goes to Coachella actually reads newspapers right?

[DavidB @CGDavidB]

@latimes it is almost incomprehensible that the same publication that used to host Jonathan Gold could put out a puff piece on Nobu’s embarrassing $350 Coachella “omakase.” Danielle Dorsey has the same level of food criticism ability as a Yelp reviewer. What happened?

[DavidB @CGDavidB]

@Apple why is your iOS predictive texting so bad? Like if I type “I feel” it autocorrects to “o feel” and there’s literally no reason ever why anyone would want “o feel” instead - so why does this happen? Am I hallucinating that predictive text used to be significantly better?

[DavidB @CGDavidB]

@DiscussingFilm It’s a bullshit app now that they’ve replaced all the lessons with AI generated ones and laid off almost all their staff

[DavidB @CGDavidB]

@quibvs I just rewatched Dune Part 2 in 70mm IMAX and the aspect ratio changes frequently but the 4:3 shots are stunning

[DavidB @CGDavidB]

@TheCinesthetic The Man from Earth

[DavidB @CGDavidB]

@velvetjone5 @ABC7 He did, as well as incandescent lightbulbs

[DavidB @CGDavidB]

@Carcosa85 @JayBauman1 Never saw Cannibal Holocaust so it was a new genre to me, as well as general audiences

[DavidB @CGDavidB]

@TheCinesthetic Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace - the prequel will explore Anakin as a developing fetus like Paul’s sister in Dune

@BraddrofliT

[DavidB @CGDavidB]

@tvaziri I mean I watched it as a kid and knew it was animated… really surprised people thought it was real. But I grew up seeing shooting stars all the time (very little light pollution)

[DavidB @CGDavidB]

@CinemaTweets1 Arrival because the plot is actually clever

[DavidB @CGDavidB]

Why is the ADL apologizing for Musk?

[ADL @ADL]

This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety.

It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge.

In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Let’s hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead.

@SonOfCairne @DiscussingFilm Except we’re discussing US box office. Fun fact: only 3 of the top 10 grossing movies of all time in the UK are British films, and American-coproductions at that

[DavidB @CGDavidB]

@AMCTheatres can I please pay an extra dollar to not watch the Wolfman trailer again?

[DavidB @CGDavidB]

@Rainmaker1973 And yet 70yo men will still drive 45mph in the fast lane in them

[DavidB @CGDavidB]

@historyinmemes Tetris

Ok this is it - I’m heading over to Bluesky
