That one short clip scene in Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope, when the Rebel fleet is beginning to attack the Death Star, and Porkins, before he becomes "Roast Porkins", looks like he's regretting that Chipotle' chimichanga with extra guac.
Seriously, it's there.

Takuro Ijichi’s “Vicissitude” is a visually sumptuous debut that hints at a director still coming into his own. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2026/01/16/film/vicissitude/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #film #japanesefilm #takuroijichi
French animated film “Mars Express” draws inspiration from Japanese classics such as “Ghost in the Shell” and “Akira” for a sharp, cyberpunk ride that feels familiar yet entirely its own. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2026/01/15/film/mars-express-anime-influence/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #film #anime #jeremieperin

If you're a #screenwriter #contentcreator or #filmmaker
and you use #Fountain syntax for distraction-free writing this might be for you. I too like getting my first #draft this way but the long list of #monochrome text makes it hard to quickly skim scenes, dialogue, etc so I made a highlighting feature for #kate on #kde and #texteditor for #gnome so I can navigate a little easier. It's now up on #github! Of course also works on Kwrite!

A rare glimpse of Edwardian Halifax on a cold January day in 1902. Cows and horse drawn carts share the roads with electric trams, children fascinated by the camera, gentlemen in hats and ladies in long skirts. One of Britain’s earliest surviving films, now over 120 years old.
