In older films and lower budget films into the 90s, you could expect the titles to wobble up and down and left and right from frame to frame, too.

Accessibility ramps and accessible doorknobs are easy to empathize with. Most everybody is going to be in a situation where those are necessary or at least helpful at some point in…

If you let the magic smoke out, you can't put it back in! You can only put the magic smoke in at a fab, in a cleanroom!
