Since the X-wing’s proton torpedo may have affected the subatomic structure of the Death Star, there is a high probability that no one reading this post will touch a member of the opposite sex tonight.

Into The Abyss: Teal and Orange - Hollywood, Please Stop the Madness

Interesting post about the current fad of digitally grading film with a teal-orange colour palette. It makes skin tones pop against a strongly contrasting background, but also makes everyone look like they’ve drowned in fake tan.

I’m, embarrassingly, a total sucker for fake chrome effects using a similar colour palette, which I suspect is the reason it’s never hugely bothered me.

Boing Boing Gadgets has redesigned. Um. It’s “BBG” now? I’m having a BSG flashback.

Not massively enthused by the styling, but I quite like the 80s rainbow background.
