I have zero recollection of this 1993 film, DEADFALL, but the like-new DVD was only $2.99 at thrift store. How bad could it be? (Michael Biehn has allegedly called this one of the worst films he was ever in.)

At local thrift store today, I found a DVD of Paddle to the Sea (French: Vogue-à-la-mer), the 1966 National Film Board of Canada short live-action film directed, shot and edited by Bill Mason.

I love that vintage camera equipment sellers in Japan will often include small gifts in shipments, like tea or origami animals.

Ouch 🥺

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Thoroughly enjoying Caroline Bicks' non-fiction MONSTERS IN THE ARCHIVES. (I cannot help but wonder if any embarrassing correspondence from me to Stephen King exists in those archives?) @stephenking.bsky.social @carolinebicks.bsky.social

Finally sold the Sigma 15mm f2.8 EX DG diagonal fisheye today. Hope the photographer who bought it, with the great Nikon F4, enjoys.

This was in July 2021. One of the most photographed trees in Canada, at Killbear Provincial Park, already endangered / in poor health, further assaulted by ignorant, irresponsible parents allowing their kids to climb it & break off branches, for social media pics. Don't be like this.
