I know. Open your freaking eyes people. They are even bragging about it on quarterly profits. I think it was target that had a quarterly call where they actually said oh we have to stop raising prices because we hit how high people will actually spend on essentials.

Absolutely but it's bullshit that the media and right wing plane 20-100% price increases on ~10% inflation.

Saw a post last week I think showing the average price of Halloween candy up 40% pre-pandemic. Inflation isn't 40% so that's just price gouging.

From gpus and cars to basically every single item in your grocery store it's 10% inflation and 90% corporate greed, profiteering and price gouging.

The DP for NOPE came up with a brand new way of shooting night time scenes using a combination of digital infrared and film cameras lined up identically and then edited together in post.

Thanks to this invention the night scenes looked so amazing and that's why the other commenter pointed it out. Hopefully given the praise of NOPE and this system we'll see this type of filming really take off and used in more film and tv. Especially in TV since they always seem to do a horrible job with night scenes.
