The Netflix Depp v. Heard documentary is hilarious at face value. Faced with the writer strike, they just threw together a clip show based on a trial that everyone stopped caring about a season ago.
I watched the first episode just to see how bad it was. Not a single line of original dialog. Just a bunch of trial footage, news clips, and youtube highlights glued together.
Honestly, this does so much brand damage to them as documentary makers it can't be worth it.
I ordered a swamp cooler to help deal with this summer heat, but now I worry it might have chosen one that was too big. Should have looked at their marketing materials before I hit buy.

Here's my first pass at a logo for Calculated Geometry, Inc., a fictional computer animation studio founded in 1983 by Edgar Suarez and Gwendolyn Harvey, . Also known as CGI (or sometimes CalGeo), they lacked early investors, and cobbled together what they could with secondhand equipment bought from universities and other animation studios.

Ffmpeg options is the poster child for why you should spend time, effort and money on design.
And I am a fan of ffmpeg.

Every morning my boss takes out a smith and wesson snub nose revolver and fires a .38 special round directly into my head, piercing my brain casing and killing me instantly but do I stop going to work? no. because I want to do the same to employees of my own some day

Apparently in many parts of the UK, homes that face each other at the rear are required to be built 21 metres apart, and you'll never guess the reason why this rule exists.

Oh, and you can see it at the West Sound Film Festival on August 4: https://filmfreeway.com/WestSoundFilmFestival/tickets
If you can't get tickets while it's still playing, consider donating to their effort to submit this to every film festival they can: https://gofund.me/384da6d1
If you live in or near #Seattle, I am highly recommending that you go and see the movie "Fantasy A Gets A Mattress".
It is a charming indie film about Fantasy A, Seattle's undisputed king of hustle, getting a mattress.
A wonderfully absurdist depiction of Seattle that you are absolutely missing out on right now. Better cinematography that I was anticipating, and a hilarious performance from their local actors from beginning to end.
Tickets are still available here: https://thebeacon.film/calendar/movie/fantasy-a-gets-a-mattress
Yeah, I know, context is everything, and there's virtually zero chance that anyone thinks we just dropped a literal H-bomb capable of reducing Europe to dust.
But c'mon now...
Anyone else thinking about all those fingers spending their last day of being attached to hand today?
