Thanks @coreyatad.com for linking me to this essay, reinforcing my understanding on how art, business, & tech are in a terrible threesome with art usually getting the short shrift.
My fav quote,

Have modern adults (myself included) ruined children's programming?
I'll have to read later. Lastly I don't want to ignore the greed of the entertainment corporations. Hiding profits from talent and laborers. High percentage demands of theaters. Labor disputes and pushing towards not unionized groups. Shifting production to wherever gives the best tax breaks.

Most of you here know me as a writer, but first (and maybe foremost) I am a photographer. So on that note, I have an announcement.

No it's not. The industry itself has failed to adjust in a way that promotes variety. Instead going whole hog into massive budgets, sequels, streaming only, "safe bet" IP reboots, etc. Now AI is going to make everything worse.
Yet still occasionally real art sneaks through.
The many multiple entertainment alternatives to movie theaters (video games, YouTube) can't be ignored. The "good enough" experience of big screens at home with hundreds of streaming options. High prices & weak economy reduce the amount the gen pop is willing to go out.

I could spend countless hours on any given hobby. But if I spend more than an hour or two on one thing, I feel like I'm skirting other responsibilities whether it's true or not. Love my brain.
I will definitely take no for an answer. I don't have the battery power for anything else.
Wonderful
The beautiful Benson Bridge at Multnomah Falls in Oregon!
Still one of my favorite images I've taken to this day. Take me back 🤩

Ugh how did they mess that up?
In 20 years they will just rename nursing homes "Permanent LAN Party House" and younger Gen X & Millennials will happily go

I'm excited for the new Avatar the Last Airbender film but also hate leaks. I don't want to see plot details, scripts, and especially not the full movie. Don't share them. #filmsky 📽️🎬🎥 #animation
Since it's been shown one can carry the ring bearer with no ill effects, the best character you could add to the fellowship would have been Tanjiro. Frodo would have never had to leave the box.
Anyone else find it hysterical how pillows stuffed in blankets can fool the Ringwraiths?
Antony Starr really has absolutely amazing facial expressions. #tvsky 📺
an image of two brave souls exploring Skogafoss' large splash zone, which is continuously blasted by icy mists that quickly freeze into long crystal shards along the lower canyon walls and foreground, making the entire area extremely beautiful but also extremely treacherous for walking. In the background a majestic curtain of water plummets into a white frothy mist

We're a culture that just accepts mediocrity.
The key to the longevity of the Star Wars and Star Trek universes is they (correctly) absolutely refuse to fix their most obvious security flaws and safety issues.

My podcast co-host has been screaming it's praises since release. I'm trying to make time to see it, looks very interesting.
Horizontal landscape photograph capturing the southernmost Chilean harbor. Small, weathered, colorful fishing boats (reds, blues, white) are anchored in choppy grey-blue water. In the background, a large, snow-capped Andean peak rises prominently beneath a dramatic, cloudy grey sky. Low-lying brown vegetation covers the shoreline. Natural, available light emphasizes textures. Normal focal length perspective. Optimized for Patagonian geography, maritime industry, and Chilean Andes ecological indexing.
