So, despite all the built-in self-care bullshit this MSI OLED monitor puts me through, and turning it off when I leave, and all that, it only took roughly 9 months for burn-in to begin forming thanks to persistent OS elements. (I've since begun auto-hiding my taskbar, much to my irritation -- I hate that.) I've adjusted the image here to make it more visible, but any grey background really makes it pop. I don't think I'll do an OLED again in the future. Vibrant color and deliciously inky blacks, but in the day to day I've found it's not THAT big of an upgrade compared to a decent, regular monitor. Not really sure it's worth the expense at this point. (Never mind how the shiny black surface of mine collects smudges and gunk easily, requiring a good wipedown regularly.) image
Holy crap, #Stripes was originally intended to be a Cheech & Chong flick?! > En route to the premiere of Meatballs, Ivan Reitman conceived an idea for a film: "Cheech and Chong join the army". He pitched Stripes to Paramount Pictures, who immediately greenlit the film. Len Blum and Dan Goldberg wrote the screenplay in Toronto and read it to Reitman, who was in Los Angeles, over the phone, who in turn would give the writers notes. Cheech and Chong's manager thought the script was very funny; however, the comedy duo wanted complete creative control. Reitman then suggested to Goldberg that they change the two main characters to ones suited for Bill Murray and Harold Ramis, figuring that if they could interest Ramis and let him tailor the script for the two of them, he could convince Murray to do it. image
