Executive producers basically provide some of the funding for the film. I also had some input on the script and editing, but I didn't offer more than a few suggestions since Jody did a wonderful job writing and directing the film.
The Beared Girl (2026) is first movie I helped bring about as executive producer. It's heading to theatres in Canada this April 25th. I'll be at the showing at the Rio theatre in Vancouver.
Here's the official trailer. Can't wait for people to see it!

Project Hail Mary was an awesome movie. One of its stars poking fun at Cameron just makes it better.
It is so very french. I disliked the ending choices also. But, that's part of the author's design to make you have to do these choices. It reminded me of the end of Last of Us, which also went to places I didn't agree with either.
CachyOS had specific binary packages for different CPUs that are tweaked, i.e. CPUs that support AVX512, etc. These are automatically selected when you use their package manager. They also have different kernels you can select based on your optimization preference.
Tried installing CachyOS (Linux) on my main PC. I guess I selected the wrong drive and stomped over my Windows install. Boy the Windows Boot Manager gets very upset when you install a different operating system into its partition.
Guess what I got to reinstall this afternoon!
The entire cast is mind blowing for the first game from a new studio. It's just crazy how much they cooked making E33.
Something a bit different than my usual video game content! Two years ago we were invited to help produce a quirky coming of age film about a family of bearded ladies. The Bearded Girl premieres at the Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal on July 17th. Check out the teaser trailer.
Thanks Trump.
Enabled Proton stuff in Steam and Balatro runs well! So far perf is so much better that Windows on the same hardware.
You really understand how bloated Windows is when you get stuff running under Linux.
So far, got World of Warcraft running well under Lutris. Will see how it goes during our raid tonight!
I'm installing Ubuntu Linux to try out gaming on it again on my primary PC. During the install it showed a banner with "Great for gaming!" with a picture of Dota 2. I'm like, cool, I helped make that.
Watched Netflix's Adolescence again with a friend. Still a gut punch--the ending just tears me up emotionally.
It's so well written and produced and the acting is just stellar. Stephen Graham's performance as Jamie's dad is a particular standout. You can just feel his despair.
Highly recommended.
Every once in a while I remember @hbomberguy.bsky.social 's "most fuckable twink" line from his video on plagiarism as the funniest thing I've ever seen in a video and quietly chuckle to myself.
I need to stop doom scrolling. Fuck.
One of the weirdest (worst?) things of recent news is having to explain "Leopards ate my face" to friends and family. Sigh.
I didn't expect Calliope to be autobiographical!
My favorite movie of all time is Caroline. I'm so disappointed.
I did the network programming for the coop mode as well as general bug fixes. Some of my code helps you drop your buddy in the acid.
Well that's different. I live in Kelowna, the third largest city of British Columbia. The main bridge across the lake is closed this morning due to a bomb threat. Crazy. Never expected that in Canada.

Its been almost twelve years since Boards of Canada released their last album. I still have hope.
It's fascinating that to him it was important to put the character first.
I'm going to have to watch this documentary.
I was hopeful but this looks better than I was hoping.
The single line credit is even more reductive that the one in Metroid Prime remastered since it doesn't even mention the Retro Studios dev team.

They did it again! Nintendo is not including the original Retro Studios credits in Donkey Kong Country Returns HD.
Nintendo's policy of not including the original credits for remastered games is unacceptable. Their work is still there!

Looks great! I made curry last night, medium hot! I have Zojirushi rice cooker that makes perfect rice every time.
Yum!
Does anyone else have issue with 5G on their phone where initial use of web or social app takes many seconds to load? This goes away if I switch to LTE (4g) connectivity. 5G has long establishment times? 5G+ is even worse.
Maybe specific to my carrier, Telus?
Quebec almost left Canada to go solo in the 90s!
I'm pretty sure all Canadians including myself will politely say "no thank you" to the idea of becoming part of the United States.
Path of Exile 2 is amazing, but then there's stuff like this. I get notified the map is complete, so I look away for a second. Four seconds later the ground explodes and kills me. My character makes frost patches so I had no idea the ground wasn't my own effect. There needs to be more clarity.
Space Shuttle first launch. I got up early to watch it with my Dad.
