I read a lot, watch a lot of old movies, keep up with current events with a healthy, but not annihilating, dose of skepticism and sense of humor. Can fit a John Waters movie quote into just about any sentence.

TIL a very interesting and mind-blowing thing about b/w television shows and possibly b/w movies too: they needed to use bizarre set colours to achieve the correct tones!

It makes sense, of course, as with microphones and other sensors, the capture isn't perfect, corrections are needed to complete the illusion.

This will forever change how I watch film noir!
