An interesting documentary about the scientific team that recently used an array of telescopes across the planet to piece together a picture of a massive black hole. It’s a slightly less complete documentary abut black holes in general, as suggested … Continue reading
Re-contextualizing an evil fairy queen so that we can sympathize with her even as she puts a life-long hex on a little girl is certainly a choice I can see Disney making. Trying the same with a character who’s main … Continue reading
