Today, 15 years ago, Norway lost 77 beautiful souls. They were murdered by a white right-wing extremist (who does not deserve to be named) in a terrorist attack. The Norwegian terrorist hated so much that he alone took the lives of these pure souls for a reason we still don’t understand.

The attacks on 22nd of July, 2011, is today known as the worst terrorist attack on Norwegian soil (after WWll) caused by one of our own people. That man planted a bomb in the heart of Oslo, and later shot up a youth camp on the small island of Utøya. It’s one of the most morbid and evil things a human has ever done, and even after all these years, people still suffer and mourn because of that man’s actions.

He could not accept that other people live in this world, this country, that are not to his own views and beliefs. But, we are all human, it does not matter what we believe and what we are - we all come from the same earth. We need to continue on fighting against the hatred that is in this world; through our actions, our words and our beliefs. We must show love, because that is the strongest weapon we have. We must never forgive, never forget and never be silent.

«Om én mann kan vise så mye hat, tenk hvor mye kjærlighet vi alle kan vise sammen.»

"If one man can show so much hate, imagine how much love we can all show together."

- Helle Gannestad, 22.07.2011

Happy 100th, Mel Brooks.

Rest in Peace, Tony.

I'll always remember your smile.

Academy Award winner Marcia Lucas has died. While winning major awards for her work as an editor for Star Wars (alongside a team of editors, including Paul Hirsch and Richard Chew; some of her contributions outside of her work with George Lucas include Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, Taxi Driver, and New York, New York), she mostly disappeared from the public eye following her divorce and essentially retired.

While Marcia dispelled the belief that she singlehandedly saved Star Wars in the edit (and very passionately defended George's craftmanship and ideas, which she felt were undercredited, as well as the work of their team in general), there was a lot of work she specifically did and I thought it would be good to highlight just how much she did and give her credit where it is due. There is a lot that came from her that most don't know about. Most of those examples are from Howard Kazanjian's biography, A Producer's Life, published in 2021.
