This is how you tease a movie. This tells me almost nothing about this film. But I will go see it.

Amazing GoPro study in POV.

I can hardly believe this guy is real. He is. And he’s brilliant(ly mean).

TAL live show tonight! Very excited. Just reading Twitter and I’ve already seen posts from people in 35 cities. Such an awesome communal event. Satellites rule. Except when they don’t.
