If the 4K re-release of Speed Racer is converted to 3D the world *might* be cured, so let’s do that.

This choreo is very good and I want to see it live. youtu.be/8sKQHAGAfZk?...
Was just reminded of the existence of the best theatre production I’ve ever seen. Shia surprise! youtu.be/o0u4M6vppCI?...
Deepfakes are hard to get right even if you’re episode one of the final season of the most expensive show of all time, huh Stranger Things s05e01? Looks real, but also sorta nothing like the actor we know. Makes me feel better at our attempt on Cobra Kai several years back.
Spoilers for old show: Just rewatched a sequence from The OA in which a set of little rock robots do the 5 movements (a dance that my wife's favorite choreographer came up with which teleports people between dimensions) while Lighting Crashes plays and was reminded that indeed, The OA is my shit.
Just walking the streets of NYC listening to an album I was lucky enough to cut some picture to. Leo Birenberg and Zach Robinson can’t be beat. open.spotify.com/album/2ORE6f...
Am I saying editing is fun? No. Am I saying I get to temp the music from the Star Trek 09 trailer into this scene with reckless abandon, hoping I've finally cut something that can function against this cue? Yes.
Smug white dudes making “here’s how you can tell this video of MLK Jr is AI generated” content is about to flood the internet two by two with Sora’s SlopTok content like a fucked up Noah’s Ark nobody wanted.
The new ai controlled robotics are getting eerily realistic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtVk...
Genuinely curious if I could get Ronald Jenkees “stay crunchy” placed in a movie/TV show to excuse meeting him. Anyone remember this jam? youtu.be/lg8LfoyDFUM?...
I know Lawrence blowing out the match is widely considered to be the best cut in cinema history, but have you all not seen the gag in Holy Grail where Lancelot is really far away and running towards the guards and then all the sudden is really close and takes them by surprise?
There Will Be Farts poster
Look I’m not saying AI is good, but ChatGPT is being used heavily on my next film…
Mostly in the form of me generating posters for things like “There Will Be Farts” for my new office, because I can’t stop working on movies containing fart jokes.
Would be dope if California got some tax incentives so I don’t always have to move to NYC to edit something.
I happened to see it on the same day as Superman and yet I haven’t stopped thinking about K Pop Demon Hunters since. How did that not get a theatrical release, ya dummies?
Uh oh, got a short job that requires me to actually understand color science more than I do.
Do yourself a favor and watch the entirety of Speed Racer for free on Youtube while you're doing what you're doing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=thHC...

Dark Universe cast
Dark Universe lives! Wonder if they’ll have a Russell Crowe face character?
The only complaint you are legally allowed to have have with Andor S2E08 is that they obviously temp scored a sequence with “Time” from Inception and didn’t change it enough when they scored for real.
(The episode/arc was incredible and I suck for even mentioning this gripe.)
Relaunching my portfolio with new stuff! spencerhouck.com
I can do anything you could dream of needing in post and have a good attitude doing it: Comedy editing, action editing, thriller editing, temp VFX, title design, pre-viz!
White Lotus x Tanqueray x Ketel One!
Lil Nas X!
Cobra Kai!

Well, that was an all time scene with Whitaker in Andor season 2.
Can’t stop thinking about Sinners.
(Also very happy to report that The Vista has a pretty killer Cherry Coke mix at the fountain, something I feared might have been inadvertently lost in the Tarantino era.)
Feels good to have been in this film’s corner ever since I saw it at the Chinese opening weekend.
Remember thinking the movie felt like melting starbursts into your eyes. The final race is most joyous/emotionally charged montage work I’ve ever seen. Sound and picture singing.

Special Effects Box 11 is calling my name.
The sets/locations in Andor are insane and seem to be filmed in ways that are almost-purposeful middle fingers to the limitations of cinematography on the Mando stage. The Chandrila oner has like 5 elevation changes?
Damn, our boy Andor looking good in uniform in s02e01.
The ‘Piracy. It’s a Crime’ campaign used pirated music, *and* as it turns out, also used pirated fonts. Incredible.
SABLE in the sheets, fABLE in the streets. (Depressed but putting on a good face)
Can we talk about how great the mix is on Better Man? On my 15th rewatch of the Rock DJ oner, I noticed they seemed to have taken the sting off the lyrics like “pimping ain’t easy” and others that might’ve killed the vibe by bringing up other sync audio to fill the space. youtu.be/v356_23728Q?...
I know it’s cool to like subtle things but the track I Could Use a Boost from Wild Robot is great and on repeat in my brain and very very BIG.
