Something for Thursday
Film music today: a suite from Jerry Goldsmith’s score to Patton. I only watched the film once, when I was ten or eleven. I don’t recall having much of an opinion, but I remember being struck by Goldsmith’s work — … Continue reading
It’s Prismatic!
So there’s this new photo app called Prisma that’s all the rage. It’s kind of cool, really — it’s similar to Instagram in that it takes photos (new or existing) and applies filters to them to make them look nifty. … Continue reading
