its lyrics represent how odd and tormented the book is. It's not a rom-com.

Truth is, we shot it for anaglyph, so it's proper to bring it out anaglyph again. We cleaned it up and did improved it a lot from the theatrical version. I think it's the best it's ever worked and is actually quite cool. And the pacing is much better when you watch it in 3-D.

I did. I nearly attended to get a masters in biostatistics then I can't remember what happened for the next 30 years. I would have been the student with one of the oddest cv's.

I feel like quotes like 'kick against the pricks' will get me cancelled. Oh, wait, I already went to movie jail for near 30 years. I'm surprised the movie's not banned. Can you find the Epstein island metaphor?
All in for exuberant anarchy!

I love that at the showing I went to of #SpinalTap the end continues, a guy in the front turned to the rest of the cinema and raised his arms and gave the rock'n'roll fingers/horns 🤘Also hats off to everyone involved. Many intersections with cast in it - delight! Squee.

Mac Tahoe OS feels more cluttered. Especially in dark mode. Thoughts? Benefits? Do I just have to get used to it? #MacTahoe #Tahoe

They want Handmaids Tale but they are getting Tank Girl.

They just don't know it yet.

We are all Tank Girl. We need to show it.

yes, my audience loved that too. I did find myself saying out loud (apologies to cinema-silencers), "What are you doing? Don't go into the basement." It got a decent laugh.

Thank you. I am flattered and thrilled. And share the love.

Fully enjoyed Weapons and the audience for my showing was much of the entertainment. Been a while since I've been with a screaming, gasping, laughing audience -- horror working its magic. Such a New Line movie. Love me some good laughs within the screams.

I was told not to talk about it and I don't know what the WB rules are, so until they put me on an interview, I'll wait. I always love grading - this was an amazing process.

what platform did he do it for - or as part of the restoration?

Rachel Talalay @racheltalalay.com · Aug 7

they re-did it . I'm excited to see how it works on TV, but what I saw was another evolution of digital assisting analog and even in red/blue, it's a huge step forward. It helps that we shot it with dual cameras so they had the left and right eyes to built it with.
