Adobe CC is my home now. I use Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, PS and Illustrator on an almost daily basis.

I guess at this point it's the equivalent of listing Microsoft Office for people in design or design-adjacent worlds.

Re: Post Random Movie-Related Thoughts You Have
So learn Premiere. It's way easier and more intuitive than Final Cut

Re: Post Random Movie-Related Thoughts You Have
One thing I like about Argentina's (and other countries') box office reporting is that they focus on amount of tickets sold instead of monetary intake. This makes outside factors (such as inflation, prices of 3D vs. 2D tickets, luxury style theaters, etc) irrelevant, and gives a more accurate account of a movie's performance. Example: The film was a huge success in Argentina, selling 30,797 tickets on the premiere
