About That Slap…
So ever since Oscar night, people have been asking what I thought of Chris Rock's "joke" and Will Smith's response to same. Now you can see what I thought in this interview over at Yahoo Entertainment. Only bitch I have is that they added a bunch of exclamation marks to my quotes, and I'm not...
STILL MASTERING THE REMASTERING OF “PITCH BLACK”
New 4K remastering of PITCH BLACK Spent a few weeks on the Universal lot recently, working with a colorist on the remastering of PITCH BLACK.

That's a record for any movie prop, topping other revered memorabilia like the Maltese Falcon statuette and the original 1966 Batmobile. The auction house called Robby “One of the most iconic sci-fi...
