An Afternoon with Ted Lasso’s Jason Sudeikis at RSA2024
BELIEVE As I was shifting through the RSA Conference 2024 program guide, with it's impressive comprehensive five day agenda, there was an enormous amount of activities going on to easily fill anyone's calendar as an attendee for the week. 33 keynote presentations given on two stages in the West and South Stages at the Moscone Center, 650 speakers across 425 sessions, the Expo floors in the South and North Halls had over 600 exhibitors. As I glanced into the program's "keynote" section, I noticed one that immediately caught my eye...
The Video Game Industry is getting Unreal at GCD 2024
THE CURRENT STATE OF THE VIDEO GAME INDUSTRY Just like the movie industry from a year ago, the last twelve months have not been very kind to the video game industry. In contrast to the movie industry, where the pandemic single-handedly nearly ruined it with the “stay at home” order, video game sales spiked and reached unprescented highs, but soon plummeted as the pandemic slowly went away. Sales could not be sustained, which is why gaming companies had to make cuts in order to survive. Games in production were cancelled, studios...
Farewell to 25 Years of red envelopes
September 29th marks a very sad day for the remaining one million loyal Netflix DVD subscribers including myself. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, the company announced earlier this year to pull the plug and close its DVD rental operations.

To give you an idea, Netflix's DVD revenue totaled $60 million for...
The 2023 Game Developer’s Conference
You could feel the sheer excitement in the air surrounding San Francisco's Moscone Center where exhibitor's and attendees convened at the 2023 Game Developer's Conference. It recently happened a few weeks ago from March 20th thru the 24th when the Games Developer's Conference tied its pre-pandemic record of 28,000 attendees in San Francisco that was set in 2019, more than doubling the number of in-person attendees from last year at San Francisco’s Moscone Convention Center. It was all about the return of the "in-person" experience,...
Sony Pictures Classics Releases 30th Anniversary 4K UHD Box Set
I vividly remember the first time becoming totally immersed with an “Arthouse film” It was in 1992, in a little dinky hole-in-the-wall cinema in San Francisco. I sat there completely mesmerized watching, and as far as I can tell, a “near-perfect” movie, as every component of it’s filmmaking was simply superior in every aspect. The movie was “Howards End”. The tiny theater consisted of less than fifty uncomfortable seats, but that didn’t matter much, as I was glued to how the the story moved along with Emma Thompson’s nuanced...
