Okay, so as a huge fan, I noticed a bit of a continuity goof in Stranger Things. They clearly establish Will’s birthday as March 22nd in Season 2 with that sweet home video scene. But then, in Season 4, when they’re at the roller rink, you see the same date on a camcorder, and nobody mentions it’s his birthday! It felt really odd. It turns out the creators actually realized this mistake too, and they’ve even talked about going back and changing the date in post-production to fix it. It’s good they’re aware and trying to keep things consistent, even if it’s after the fact!

During the chase in the alley, the amount of rain seems to change with each camera angle. Sometimes it’s pouring, with raindrops bouncing off the ground, and then in the next shot it’s just a light drizzle. This is noticeable on the character’s jacket and hair, which go from completely wet to only slightly damp in quick cuts. The wetness of the ground also changes, altering how the streetlights reflect off it.
Lucille Ball revolutionized television comedy with ‘I Love Lucy,’ making it a must-watch show.

Mario’s jumping ability is a central feature in all his games, allowing designers to create levels that test players’ timing and control. ‘Super Mario 64’ introduced a variety of jumps – regular, double, triple, long jumps, and side flips – each with a different trajectory for reaching various distances or heights. ‘Super Mario Sunshine’ added new moves like hovering and rocket boosts using FLUDD, giving Mario even more control in the air. And in ‘Super Mario Odyssey,’ he can combine cap throws with dives and rolls to stay airborne longer and land exactly where he needs to.

Okay, so I just screened the new thriller starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt, directed by Jon Watts, and it’s… interesting. Initially planned for a limited theatrical release, Apple decided to go straight to streaming with this one, which isn’t entirely surprising these days. Apple’s confirmed it’ll hit Apple TV+ globally in late September 2024. I’ve been digging into the details, and it’s clear the release strategy shifted quite a bit during production. It’s fascinating to see how they’ve managed the rollout, and the background story of getting this film made is pretty compelling too.
