@JCTecklenburg Hey, neat! I stayed there years ago when it used to be the Loew's.

@doctorbaytas I paid $750 for mine 20 years ago, and it's as good as the day I bought it.

@ChefReactions We went a few years back for my birthday, and the drink they made me used an empty champagne flute to put out a lit birthday candle. The some champagne with a little bit of Betty Crocker birthday cake syrup. Tasted like the moment you blow out the candles on your cake. Me:

@avideomakr It looks very similar to Flame's ML-generated maps. The temporal inconsistency is going to do you in when you try to brighten the little kid's head a little and it keeps flickering in and out of existence.

@worsteditorever Back when I had dreams of working on Star Wars, I met a team of ILM artists at a SIGGRAPH party. They’d spent the last year doing nothing but removing puppy assholes and genitalia on 102 Dalmatians. It ain’t all lightsabers and space battles!

@Davehussey I don’t miss my eyes burning when they changed the perc for the wet gate one bit!

@JasonNebergall Also, your fingers are gonna hurt a lot, but it's worth it.

[Brian Higgins @higginba]

@MysteryColorist I vfx suped a pharma spot with Russ about a decade ago. He was a wonderfully laid back guy. You should’ve said hi!

@j_salvo @MysteryColorist Beaten to the punch!

[Brian Higgins @higginba]

Hey ⁦⁦@ElectrekCo⁩ can you please hit your ad networks with a rolled-up newspaper? I love your site and want to support it, but these browser hijack ads are making me want to run a blocker. Not cool!

[Brian Higgins @higginba]

Hey @chicagotribune, would you mind not running ads on your main page that hijack Safari in iOS? I’m a paying subscriber, and would rather not get redirected to phishing sites.
