📀 watched “The Dark Knight” on Blu-ray, still holds up.I saw it in the Metreon IMAX theater when it came out in 2008. About 28 minutes of it was filmed in 70mm film using IMAX cameras. The movie switched aspect ratios when it switched from IMAX to normal film. The 2-Disc Special Edition Blu-ray also switched aspect ratios roughly at similar times. Nice to see that that was preserved.The movie has incredible pacing. No extra moments. I had forgotten how many quotes originated from The Dark Knight. https://enwp.org/The_Dark_Knight#BatMan #TheDarkKnight #Bluray #Blaugust #Blaugust2026

This post was written by Zachary Kai as part of Blaugust 2026. Read the post I wrote about art history for Zachary's site. ⁂ ⁂ ⁂ I’m participating in Blaugust this year. Like most things, on a whim. Nerd Girl, who’s coordinating this year’s edition, compiled community-buil...

be my invisible mirror that opens when i write. with words, wonder; hope, dreaming. be my literary pillow; bear the brunt of the i (eyes) the questions, of self. be the messy middle of my mind on paper, that speaks of life. blank, until it is not. Inspired by Tim Kiely's prompt.

Warm tea, wiki edits, and zines sent by a friend that arrived earlier this week welcome me to the morning. Yesterday there was a rain shower more intense than any I have seen for a while; a powerful wind blew through the air. Now, the day is calm: the sky is cloudy and a ligh...

Space ⁂ ⁂ ⁂ Space (making) ⁂ ⁂ ⁂ Space-making. A few weeks ago I wrote about the roles of space in creative contexts, from art galleries to music to language to conversation. Space is a building block for rhythm., I wrote. This morning, I decided to write a blog post th...

Earlier this week I was thinking about inspiration – what inspires me to write? Nature, friends, what I see in the world as I walk around – all these are the basis of many of my blog posts. Museums, too, inspire me, both to think and to create. When I am in a museum, I can ge...

What if the musical memories of songs last played months ago were not held in the muscles, but in the heart – the passion coming through with every E that follows C? The occasional B, played at just the right moment, adds depth. I love the moment of getting into a song: when ...

🎞 watched “The Odyssey” at the Metreon in 70mm IMAX on opening weekend, and mostly enjoyed it. No spoilers in this post.My pal Rohit (@rohit.khare.org) had bought tickets last year, had a spare, and invited me along last minute. After an early dinner at Cha Cha Cha (@chachach...

A few weeks ago, I started to re-think how I organise my writing. Previously, I kept my writing in three folders: Drafts, where I intended to keep all my drafts;Writing, where all my writing, including my drafts, ended up, and;My website, which contains the final, published v...

Raindrops cascade from the skies in straight lines, watering the ground left dry after July. Since the rain started falling again, the plant outside has been growing well. Will it blossom again this year? Can plants blossom twice in one year? I hope to see the pink petals again, but, if nothing else, I have the memories of its colours from earlier in the season. I went for a walk earlier today, before the rain began. I admired the puddles as I walked; collections of water after a dry season. I wore a heavier coat with a hood – to be prepared – not realising how warm it still is outside. Nevertheless I walked and continued to walk, watching the world go by, revelling in the welcome watery weather.

The thirteenth episode of Wonders of Web Weaving is out: In Episode 13, I chat with Sophia, the author of Fractal Kitty about, among other things, making interactive web pages about mathematics, the intersection of art, words, and math, the math blogging community, and more. I hope you enjoy the episode! Wonders of Web Weaving also has an RSS feed you can use to follow along from wherever you get your podcasts.

The voice of the romantic midnight harkens; its calm tones echo through the day with the help of words. Is midnight romantic? I have been thinking about moments between: the transitions from one state to another. Yesterday, as I left the cafe from which I had purchased a cof...

I close my eyes and see the Great Hall. This is where they host the Met Gala! I can’t help but think about that when I stand and watch as tourists congregate, ask for information, and walk around to get to the exhibits they want to see. There are at least three ways you can e...

Over the years I and others have experimented with "watch" posts, short notes that express having seen a movie or TV show, sometimes with a link, and brief review or other commentary, like earlier today:https://tantek.com/2026/214/t1/watched-spider-man-brand-new-dayI was insp...

🎦 watched “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” in the Metreon Dolby Cinema this past Friday and really enjoyed it.Took a half day off to recover from a long week & last weekend, and decided to see the new Spider-Man movie. The theater was packed except for the front row. Lots of fans wearing Spider-Man gear.If you haven’t seen the previous Tom Holland Spider-Man movies, you could watch only those three then this film and still have a great time. No significant dependence on other MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) stories in Brand New Day.Optionally, you could watch the Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield Spider-Man movies before watching the third Tom Holland one, “No Way Home”, for character development and additional narratives.#SpiderMan #BrandNewDay #SpiderManBrandNewDay #Blaugust #Blaugust2026 #2026_212 #20260731
