57 years ago today, humanity became Moonwalkers. Observing our Moon from orbit, imaged below during the March 2025 lunar eclipse, is equal parts inspiring and humbling. It reminds me of how far we have come, yet how much farther we can go!
So sad to hear about Kavinsky, his music defined my early 20s and inspired so much of my creativity. I’m going to play his discography tomorrow, in his honour. It’s hard when your hero’s pass. Sending my love to his friends, family and @edbangerrecords crew too 💔 🔴🔵

After watching #TheOdyssey, I couldn't stop thinking about it.
I did some research and found out they recreated ancient instruments through ancient text to create the film's sound. Sirens OST 🤯
That dedication shouldn't go unnoticed..ludwig goransson and Nolan 🔥😭
Hey, I’m a cinematographer and technician with 10 years of experience in the industry and education. I think I can break this down for you in a pretty straightforward way:
IMAX isn't just about a different aspect ratio, it's an entirely different projection system. Those IMAX film reels are massive, carrying significantly more resolution and optical data than standard film. Because of this, they require specialized projection hardware to handle all that fidelity that the production company and the director intended to capture. If you try to run IMAX footage through standard cinema projectors, you're going to lose a ton of resolution, sharpness, and detail, not to mention that IMAX is engineered specifically for massive, immersive screens, not your typical multiplex setup.
Also, standard theaters use screens and projectors calibrated for a 2.39:1 aspect ratio. Forcing a 4:3 image onto that setup requires extra processing, which often leads to a noticeable drop in image brightness and overall quality compared to the native IMAX experience.
Most importantly, if you project an IMAX film in 4:3 on a screen built for 16:9 or 18:9, you’re going to end up with huge pillarboxing (black bars on the sides). This makes the image look tiny, which kills the immersion and ruins the intended cinematic experience. Audience immersion is everything, and every technical choice is made to pull you deeper into the frame. That’s why you can’t just play IMAX footage in a standard theater without cropping the hell out of the image to make it "fit."
There’s a lot more to it, but I think these three points cover the core of the issue without getting too deep into the weeds.
Like, we all want him back, we all want Danny back and her dragon is still around. He’s been out in the wild for years to think on his actions! She can be brought back by some dark magic like, LFG @HBO@GameOfThrones
This is how you make a Jon snow spin off show? Make him north of wall, revenant style, Dothraki and Unsullied loyalists have been scooped up by some red witch to resurrect Danny. They’re hunting him & need Jon’s blood as the last Tygaryen. And he has to decide if he will or not
@congotim@emkenobi Also, Emily blunt is a queen! I can’t remember the other dudes name, but their sequence in the car was so tense & John Williams music? Perfect! But in the end I just kinda was like, eh I could probably go the rest of my life without seeing this again 😂 and I seen PHM 3times now!
@congotim@emkenobi Anyway, respectfully, I love his older movies & if this movie was made 20 years ago, holy shit! Would have been gas! Maybe it’ll age better in another 20. Project Hail Mary, was a far better movie! Also, sorry for no tone of voice, just trying to give another perspective ✌️
