This part of the linked article made me laugh.

The Dunbar number is actually a series of them. The best known, a hundred and fifty, is the number of people we call casual friendsโ€”the people, say, youโ€™d invite to a large party. (In reality, itโ€™s a range: a hundred at the low end and two hundred for the more social of us.)

My Dunbar number is like two. Maybe three. Social I am not. It has been as high as seven or eight in my life, but thatโ€™s it.

How do people know so many people?

Poltergeist โ€“ the 1982 Tobe Hooper film โ€“ had some of the best cinematography I remember.

All those anamorphic lenses that just arenโ€™t used anymore give a film a whole different quality.

I do agree with the traditionalists that despite the advantages of digital, the results of digital filming do not usually look as pleasing, partially because the lenses used and the sensor size, even ignoring the CGI mess that many movies have become. Digital just looks flatter and plainer.

I miss anamorphic lenses on 35mm film.
