@MarcAspinall absolute CORKER of an image Marc.

Took a little bit of this guy for my interpretation of Bond

The Fog (1980) The Fog had a limited release on February 1, 1980, before expanding nationwide on February 8, 1980. It was originally scheduled for Christmas 1979 but was delayed to avoid heavy competition. The idea for the movie was born during a trip to England when John Carpenter and producer/co-writer Debra Hill visited Stonehenge. Witnessing an eerie mist rolling over the landscape, Carpenter famously asked, "What do you think is in that fog?" He also drew inspiration from the 1958 film The Trollenberg Terror, which featured monsters hiding in clouds. After viewing the initial rough cut, Carpenter was horrified, calling it "terrible" and noting it lacked scares and proper pacing. To save the project, he and Hill spent an additional $200,000 on massive reshoots just a month before the release date. Roughly one-third of the final film consists of reshoots. Key additions include: - The iconic campfire prologue with John Houseman. - The morgue scene where a corpse suddenly reanimates. - Stevie Wayne's lighthouse confrontation with the ghosts (originally, she never encountered them). - Footage of meat hooks and physical contact was added to compete with the rising popularity of "slasher" films. Despite mixed reviews from critics like Roger Ebert, who found the premise weak, the film was a major commercial success. It grossed approximately $21.3 million domestically against a modest $1.1 million budget. The Fog became a staple of the early home video era, first appearing on VHS and Betamax in late 1980. Subsequent high-definition re-releases, including a 4K UHD edition from Scream Factory in 2022, have kept it in the public eye. While initially seen as a "tame" follow-up to Carpenter’s Halloween, it is now revered as a cult classic for its masterclass in building dread. The 1980 original’s legacy was actually strengthened by the failure of the 2005 remake. The film solidified a unique piece of horror history by featuring Janet Leigh (Psycho) and Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween) together. This "passing of the torch" between mother and daughter created a legacy of horror royalty that fans still celebrate at conventions today.

Castle in the Sky (1986) Ending

As you may have heard, “The Thing” has been added to the Library of Congress. We made the movie to push against the edges of what we could pull off, and it carries that strain in its bones. Seeing it now treated with the same care and reverence we had making it means a great deal to me and everyone who brought it to life. I especially want to remember TK Carter, who brought heart and humor into that desolate, frozen place and should be standing here with us today sharing in this recognition.  Thank you to everyone who continues to keep it alive.

@JoriBoltonPaint I have managed to adapt another one to replace it (and it actually works a bit better! ) so silver linings :) (trying my hardest to stay positive!)

@mackchater Thank goodness and also OH NO. Even losing one brush that you actually use and can't recreate is a tragedy.

Anyone know why Photoshop (2025) just decided to delete all of my brushes? I mean ALL of them - any way to fix it?

@ScottForbes @TimDanielComics Thanks Scott. Will look into them

@TimDanielComics @mackchater I would try one of the forums, Ive had only luck going that route as the people who work on it will actively look into it.

@JoriBoltonPaint LUCKILY I only really lost about 4-5 of the newest brushes I'd made (although one I can't recreate as I have NO IDEA how I did it originally! ) just an absolute pain in the arse

@mackchater Ohhh no. I have no idea how to fix it but that suuuuucks.

@TimDanielComics The fact that it can randomly just do that, there's no fix AND you can't even go to the brushes palette and SAVE ALL is insane and inane.

@mackchater Happens to me consistently and there appears to be no fix…all these years and the app has done nothing but degrade and get more expensive.

@StazJohnson Awesome that Staz.
