Yet when Reagan promised to veto tax-increase legislation, he quoted Dirty […]

3D films are a strange phenomenon, one that has ebbed and flowed in popularity throughout the history of cinema. I remember attending the Cannes Film Festival in 2010 and being assured that within 12 months all films would be made exclusively in 3D. Yet the bubble burst, and though 3D films are still with us (or were, when cinemas were open) they have fallen far from their Avatar popularity peak.

Post editors historically have worked from a facility, whether that is rented space for a specific project or at the studio where they are employed. However, that was pre-COVID.
