From court proceedings in Rome, Georgia last month:
The

continues in that vein for many pages.

Yes, I am easily amused. |
I'm looking forward to the release of
Loving Vincent,
an animated film about Vincent Van Gogh made from 62,450
oil paintings—supposedly the first feature length film
ever produced by this technique.
The
trailer
looks good.
To save effort, the film is being shot "on twos", i.e. each piece
of artwork is duplicated over two frames of film. And if screened
as a film, each image will be projected four times (most projector
shutters operate at
48 Hz).
A friend asked whether I'd have to go to Los Angeles to see the film
and I said yeah, I doubt it would play anywhere closer. The night
after I said that, I had a dream it was playing in Lone Pine, in a
building with a gap in its wall that
I looked through. The seats were folding chairs, not the usual
fixed theater seats. And they were all empty.

The Albatross group includes several airline-related subsidiaries.
