Vanity Fair asked me to talk about visual effects, and it was my great honor to show off some of ILM’s terrific work over the years.

Nov 23rd 1984 - Jack Ryan came to the conclusion that the rogue Soviet naval captain, Ramius (Sean Connery), plans to defect to the United States.

📽️📅 The Hunt for Red October (1990)
3 Screenshots from the movie "The Hunt for Red October" (1990): First, a green-on-black map with labeled locations like "Grand Banks" and "Nova Scotia," accompanied by text describing a Soviet submarine surfacing in November 1984. Second, a group of men in a dimly lit room, one of whom looks attentively as someone says, "Is today the 23rd?" and another responds, "Yeah." Third, a close-up of grainy, black-and-white surveillance photos showing Soviet figures, including a man in a military hat, projected or displayed on a screen.

The Coca-Cola Company returns with another horrendous AI Christmas advert - this one employing fewer people than last year’s. That's progress.

RIP the legendary Drew Struzan (1947-2025) 😩

Even though we were expecting the news any day now, it makes me very sad. What an artist.
