Heart of Neon is a documentary for which I was interviewed a while back. It’s about brilliant indie game legend Jeff Minter and is wonderfully directed by @PaulDocherty. Do check it out. (Sorry for the glare in the TV. It’s sunny here in NYC today.)

Some music simply refuses to grow old. This is the kind of timeless brilliance that still hits just as hard today. ✨

Whut? This is a new wrinkle on a film I thought I was done with...
North by Northwest is interesting because you’re looking at what was, at the time, a brand new world. The UN, CIA, the mid-century modern. Even Mount Rushmore was only 18 years old.

It’s 1981, and you play this game for the first time… and your mind melts. Early-80s arcade games were so far ahead of home computer gaming that it’s hard to put the gap into perspective today. Tempest stood out because it felt like nothing else on the floor: a super-fast, almost hypnotic tube shooter built on color vector hardware and a physical spinner. Pretty much everything about it was unique. Atari designer Dave Theurer (who also created Missile Command) started from an idea for a first-person Space Invaders, which ultimately became Tempest. It generated roughly US$150 million in its first year from cabinet sales and coin take, making it a massive commercial hit for Atari.

I’m incredibly humbled to see Jodorowsky’s Dune included at #13 on The Guardian’s list of the 20 Best Making-of Documentaries. To be mentioned alongside so many incredible films about the filmmaking process is a real honor. theguardian.com/film/2026/oc…
