RIP double Oscar winning special visual effects supervisor, Brian Johnson. He won for Alien & Empire Strikes Back. Of the generation that did all special effects, he alternated between supervising physical effects, miniatures then motion control work and later directed, including CGI.

Madonna/Sabrina Carpenter’s new music video has everything: wirework in heels, wirework with steadicam operators in cyber fetish wear, anamorphic lens flares, intense strobing & nearly as many loud whoosh sounds as it has music. The edits at 02:26 are spectacular.

Robin Hood Prince of Thieves is now 35 years old today. For me, the most memorable shot in the movie is the 3rd person flying arrow. It was created & directed for the teaser trailer by an advertising agency, but made it into the film. Visual Effects by Dream Quest Images:

It's sweet to see so many Buffy tributes to Anthony Head, but, for many of us in the UK, he's forever etched in our minds as the ludicrously dashing, James Bond as coffee sharing neighbour, of the Gold Blend series of commercials. A list of all them at this link:

A Tai Chi commercial for over 40s appeared randomly on my YouTube. It had amazing electronic background music with a lovely 808 State-styled bassline. Before I could get the details to find out the tune, it disappeared! A YT search shows nothing. I would love to know what that music track was.

Woah, this is *huge*. The Devils has never been uncut for decades, and Warner Bros. actively suppressed efforts to do so - they're the reason why the BFI release was the cut UK X-rated theatrical version. So even though they've distanced themselves under a sublabel, this is massive.
