Yes, hahaha, YES

we all know this classic way

I don’t post often but now that the ability to constantly post has been hindered I must say that Olive’s “Extra Virgin” is transcendental and I have the CD in repeat.

Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars (2003-2005) This show was a great way to demonstrate that the universe created by George Lucas can be successfully reimagined on screen by other filmmakers with their own unique perspectives, visions, and styles. 👌 To me, in a way, it’s a precursor to Andor.

Last week, the ARGathering occurred at the @unnamedfootage.bsky.social. It's a special thing to get to celebrate and experience ARGs in person, and it was such a delight to do a panel with @losdesfilms.bsky.social and @dashkdot.bsky.social and to put together the Rasterflesh Immersive Experience.

Happy Friday to all who celebrate. The Window Man does.
