Really enjoyed The Odyssey Breathtaking filmmaking but sprinkled with enough storytelling issues that kept me from really loving it. (Why everybody flatly rushing their lines?) In spurts though (cyclops , Circe, final stretch that ties it all together) it had me in awe

Not to be a Scrooge but, if you enjoy this weather at dinner time, you should promptly launch yourself into the sun and decrease the surplus population
“THIRST” 🩸 illustration and text treatment *done in Photoshop*
Independence Day is a very silly movie but one of the best blockbusters of the 90s. A bunch of the spectacle was part of the big cgi boomer the time, but let’s not forget it is chock full of insane practical fx. Look at this shit

Seeing my name alongside these legends is mindblowing Grew up inspired by their work, and now get to be associated with an older era’s aesthetic. Gotta pinch myself sometimes
