    James Cameron has done a 4K remaster of The Abyss, apparently in secret. Hopefully it gets a theatrical release.

    Hopefully he walked (well, swam...) back from that bloated director's cut ending?

    I just look who buys the stuff I buy or like and follow them if we have the same vibe. People who buy music are also much more serious about their stuff than people that just stream
    you can also see how many purchases you share which gives another interesting clue. 

    Same here. I get "somebody bought something they found while browsing your collection" messages once in a while, so I'd guess it works?

    I’m kicking myself for not buying rushup edge when my local shop had it. I dunno why I didn’t buy it :shrug:

    I bought Rushup Edge when it came out, and my new, wrapped copy was missing one of the three discs. I was like "ah, I don't want to bother anyone, I'll buy another one sometime in the future".

    The first use of that effect that I know were Emmanuel Carrier's short "Temps mort" installations in Lyon in 1995. Here's a potato version:

    I guess Michel Gondry saw those too, because later that year he does «Temthe video for Like a Rolling Stone, in which he adds morphing between the different still images :

    He uses it again in 1997 for a (rather silly) Smirnoff ad, with a bullet stopped in mid-air:

    Principal photography on the Matrix started in 1998; once it came out in spring 1999 everyone and their mother did rip-off and parodies.

    The connection between that film and MBM I'm most curious about is the fact that Dangers said he was supposed to do the whole soundtrack...

    My favorite use of that Temps mort / bullet time method remains Chris Cunningham's advert for Orange, in which he uses long exposures to fantastic effect :

    and while it's really neat to see the marathon name revived (i had no idea this was even rumored... was it?), of course they bungie'd it up and made it a pvp lootfest instead. immediately downloaded aleph one to soothe my broken heart.

    Yeah, same rapid surprise-to-excitement-to-disappointment here.

    we must know

    There sadly isn't much more to this little story (or maybe I've forgotten the saltier bits since): Tim Hecker (the human) essentially sent a cease-and-desist to the owner of Tim Hecker (the cat) to stop using his name. Tim Hecker (the cat) was pretty chill about it.

    I don't believe this would've been an issue if the cat was named Florian Hecker.
