for Hidden Figures, I helped make a couple of videos celebrating the female "computers" who in some cases INVENTED the math to get us to space. it's thrilling to see the brilliant women of NASA go from the shadows to the limelight where they belong. #NASA #artemisII youtu.be/2ZW2-V_e9_M

tip o the coffee in honor of the crew of the Artemis II. they're closer to the Moon than Earth now. much respect. #space #artemisII

I was home sick from school, watching the Challenger liftoff alone in my living room while my mom made me oatmeal. I'll never forget that moment. 40 years and it still hurts. #space

Agreed. The comparison is apt. It's an alarm. We need to leverage history. I'm also fine to call out folks using the Holocaust analogy who have said nothing about antisemitism, reposted pro-Hamas talking points, spread blood libel, and claim "antizionism is not antisemitism."

The true story of how we created the most dangerous title reveal in history, for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. This is Part 2: The Design of the Thing. #design #filmmaking open.substack.com/pub/nightvis...

this slightly blew up so I'll clarify - it's not about ambiguous endings, more that the story feels incomplete or the stakes are so low even when someone saves the world, because any character who dies can just come back to life, and so many endings are really about setting up the next in a series.

my son just blew my mind. he said, “Why do new movies not have a complete or satisfying ending? Old movies do, but new movies have a false ending that feels like they’re leading you on.” he’s right. the more you think about it, the more right he is. #film

Whelp I took it a step further and removed the whole dead tree and branches in front of Mickey.

One of the best photos I’ve ever taken. 1992 Cairo. Back then, direct access to the pyramids was no problem. This old photo was cleaned up using AI & Photoshop. #travel #photography #retro

Feels like America needs a moment like this about now

THE ANOMALY The true story of how a simple lie can hoodwink the media, cause delusion, inspire a cult, and instigate mass suic**e. This is a post about America. nightvisionlabs.substack.com/p/the-anomaly #UFO #UAP #space #America #cults

all things considered, I cannot help but be excited about the Artemis mission that will return us to the Moon for the first time since 1972. today, they're rolling out the rocket! #NASA #space #artemis #science

at some point at least some percentage of his supporters have got to start turning on him. this is all so openly insane.

Hail Sagan

I feel like I could watch Sinners 5 more times and only just begin to grasp the true scope of it.

Kubrick mastering the Kubrick Stare #filmsky

There are some films I can watch any number of times and always feel new and remarkable and make me think and re-think, and some films I watch once and require no further engagement. #filmsky

I'd take this crew over who's in power now any day of the week. At least President Muffley's polite! #filmsky

I don't know who needs this but if you loved Art Bell, this is for you: all episodes, logged and transcribed, available to listen / download in part or whole #artbell #paranormal #unexplained #ufos #UAP fight.fudgie.org/search/show/...

It's 1986. I'm home sick from school. I put on Raiders of the Lost Ark because it makes me feel good. It's 2026. I'm home sick from work. I put on Raiders of the Lost Ark because it makes me feel good. #filmsky

New year, new fiction. A scifi short story with original music: open.substack.com/pub/nightvis... #scifi #shortfiction

The final Calvin and Hobbes, which appeared in papers 30 years ago today.

had a pretty magical time at Universal Studios Hollywood the other day… but that said, the Secret Life of Pets line was excruciating and not worth the ride. Pro tip: start the day by going straight to the lower lot and get on Jurassic World in 5 minutes. #LosAngeles

I've seen a lot of TV finales in my day, and STRANGER THINGS truly stuck the landing. You could nitpick all day, but they resolved all major storylines & the mythos with much heart, emotion & love for characters & audience. Well done. #StrangerThings

SPOILER: In the Stranger Things finale, when Barb finally appears to save the gang from Vecna, having spent years exploring the Upside-Down, I thought I was gonna lose my mind! #StrangerThings

doing some file cleanup and rediscovered the approvals list for an entertainment marketing project I led a few years ago. 12 layers of approval 40 stakeholders for every single asset it was insane 2 years of madness but I fucking survived #filmsky

THIS IS IMPORTANT: can we all agree to please be very very very muted in our "excited and optimistic for 2026" posts. it's like adding FINAL_VERSION to the name of a document. anyone who says "2026 is gonna be great!" is dooming us all! #2026

not only did I enjoy the heck out of BUGONIA, but in logging the film on Letterboxd, got this absolutely perfect captcha. #filmsky

How is this even a movie? It's a lifestyle. A mindset. A personality trait. And yea motherfuckers, it's a Christmas movie. Fight me. Each viewing unwraps a new detail or element that you can appreciate for the first time, or all over again. This viewing, Paul Gleason. "I hope that' not a hostage."

in an already great film, the rose bush gag in Die Hard always makes me laugh youtu.be/RBVJd0o_Qdo?... #filmsky #diehard

more true than ever

More #JurassicWorld thoughts. The real villain of the entire series is Dr. Wu. He'll justify ANY amount of death and destruction to make more dinos and hybrids. But his character has never been fully explored, developed or exploited as a major story element.

“the cheese” teaser trailer for Spinal Tap - totally unexpected brilliance. cannot believe I’ve never seen this before. #robreiner

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

I still think about Phil Hartman’s shocking death.
