Mark is easily distracted and seems not to require sleep. However, this is an illusion. He is mortal, like you. Perhaps doubly so. He makes videos and a little bit of art and design. He also watches way too many movies and jokes around on Twitter.

An East-coast Editor in Los Angeles’ Court

Posted on 2021-04-032023-08-06 by Mark Boszko

I was really trying to make that Connecticut Yankee reference work, but it just wasn’t happening. As I write this, it’s one year to the day that I was laid off from my job as the in-house video producer/editor at The Omni Group, a small software company in Seattle, WA. The pandemic happened, my wife…

Limit Handbrake CPU usage under Windows

Posted on 2020-07-152021-04-03 by Mark Boszko

I’ve recently transitioned to using a PC for all of my media transcoding and hosting Plex, so I can keep my Macs unburdened and ready for real work. The only thing is — when Handbrake is compressing something, it pegs all of my CPU cores at 100%, leaving not much left for Plex Media Server…

Ashy Slashy

Posted on 2018-10-23 by Mark Boszko

I tend not to like slasher movies. It saddens me to see humans attacking humans, usually for no good reason. I see that enough in real life. I’d much rather see humans coming together to defeat a common foe, like a monster or a demon, or a ghost. Anything supernatural, really. That’s so much more……

Points of Interest

Posted on 2018-09-262018-09-28 by Mark Boszko

I’ve always been interested in the stories behind designs, and one particular point of interest is in the development of the original Apple Macintosh computer, well chronicled in the website Folklore.org, and eventually collected in the book Revolution in the Valley. Susan Kare, designer of the original Macintosh icons, says she based the design of…

The Future Tornadoes Want: Twister

Posted on 2018-07-262018-08-30 by Mark Boszko

When Jan de Bont released Twister in May of 1996, he probably thought he was being sneaky. He probably didn’t expect anyone to figure out that he’d made a horror film in which the monster represents the death of heteronormativity in the American nuclear family structure. He probably thought he got away with it. Well,…

What do I like about horror?

Posted on 2017-10-162017-10-16 by Mark Boszko

I’ve been doing a sort of movie scavenger hunt the past month called HoopTober, which has several “quick easy” rules; different categories and directors and such that you have to find horror films to fit into. The event is named after Tobe Hooper, probably most well known as director of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but…
