30.1.2021

In 2005, director Richard Kelly was in a unique position inside the Hollywood ecosystem.

If You're Excited About The Godzilla Vs. Kong Trailer, Watch Skull Island Immediately
25.1.2021
Yesterday, Warners Bros. released a trailer for the upcoming film, Godzilla vs. Kong. It is utterly bananas, scoring an easy five out of five “holy shits” on the Ari Notis “Holy Shit, This Movie Looks Amazing” index. If you agree, allow me to make a recommendation: Watch Kong: Skull Island...

You want minmax(10px, 1fr) not 1fr
22.1.2021
There are a lot of grids on the web like this:
.grid {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);
}
My message is that what they really should be is:
.grid {
display: grid;

Hitman 3: The Kotaku Review
19.1.2021
Hitman 3 made me care more about its plot than crafting the perfect murder. The narrative, which I usually see as a flimsy excuse to play dress-up and cause globe-spanning mayhem, bleeds into the structure of its levels and creates some unexpected moments of emotion and vulnerability. Its dark...

A Utility Class for Covering Elements
26.12.2020
Big ol’ same to Michelle Barker here:
