Inever thought I’d take a stab at this score, but it’s just so good (even the songs!), and the version of the official cover I had been using so far, was just a bit dull in terms of colours and vibrancy. That’s why I recently looked for a few high-resolution source images, enhanced some of them with Adobe’s AI tool and created a few variants. For #1, I based it on the vinyl sleeve of the Walmart exclusive “Ocean Blue” and “Clear” variant, which uses the same image as the official soundtrack CD, but ever so slightly tilted to the…

Christopher Nolan, renowned for his high-concept and visually captivating films, continues to push the boundaries of cinematic storytelling with his latest effort Oppenheimer, a film about the life and work of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the American physicist who played a pivotal role in the development of the atomic bomb. Beyond a mere biographical exploration, Nolan examines profound themes of ambition, moral dilemmas, and the far-reaching consequences of scientific advancements. His penchant for nonlinear storytelling allows him to explore Oppenheimer’s inner turmoil, his intellectual brilliance, and the weight of responsibility he carried as the “father of the atomic bomb”. This multi-dimensional…

There was a time when I considered myself to be one of the people commonly known as Apple fanboys. And this despite the fact that the only products with an Apple logo on the back that I ever owned were exclusively iPods and iPhones. Nevertheless, I’ve held the brand and the lifestyle associated with it in the highest regard. Apple was synonymous for the creatives, for the artists and, above all, for freethinkers. Their products were excitingly different and always light years ahead of everyone else’s. I will probably always remember that sleepless night right before the delivery of my…

Netflix’s The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance series, which premiered in 2019, is a prequel to the 1982 film, The Dark Crystal. The series, which consists of ten episodes, is set in the same universe as the original movie and is filled with fascinating characters, creatures, and an intricate storyline. One of the most significant differences between the new series and the original is the use of advanced technology. While the original film used puppetry and animatronics, Age of Resistance uses a mix of practical effects and modern CGI. However, despite the updated technology, the creators of the show worked hard…

Imagine being a child again, sitting around a campfire late at night wrapped in a blanket while someone tells you a scary story. One of those tales that usually happened a long time ago to someone who knew someone… you know how it goes. As you listen closely, a story unfolds in your head that seems almost as if it were true, as if what is being told could actually have happened. You start to believe that it might have happened! Through the decades, these kind of fairy tales have become firmly entrenched in people’s memories and have been retold…
