It’s still baffling to me how Shackleton thought this was a good idea. Compare the size of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean around it to the Northern hemisphere. It’s over 2,100 miles on land alone; approximately the same distance as a dogsled trip from Seattle, WA, to northern Michigan.
10 Years 10 Films (10Y10F) is a project to display embedded YouTube selections of cinema history. This is Decade Seven of a series that aims for a quick time-lapse view of how movie technology and style has developed throughout the world – one clip each year – from 1888 through 2017, starting with the foundations to see how filmmakers build or deconstruct them.

A timeline and “family tree” of the major American movie studios. Organized around the top 5 producers of feature films throughout the years. The “market share” percentages on the right edge of the graphic are sourced from The-Numbers.com 2020 Distributors Gross Earnings. The information is based on the “major film studios” chart on Wikipedia.
Below are screenshots from The-Numbers.com comparing the 2019 and 2021 (as of December 11th) top-earners. Sony (Columbia), Universal, Warner Bros., Disney, United Artists, and Paramount have generally done very well, and Lionsgate has been in the top 7 for the past 10 years. 20th Century Fox is essentially 20th Century Pictures now. MGM is limited to 1 or 2 releases a year, and RKO is just a shell of what it was before the 1950s.

This is an examination of the popular Christian biblical canon of scriptures, and the manuscripts thereof. This is not an interpretation of what the Bible means. I made it personal in Part 1 to give you some context of where I’m coming from. Part 2 details the development of the Old Testament. Here in Part 3, I will dive into the New Testament and provide my answer to the question, “What is the Bible?” My goal is the give you the tools through a field called “textual criticism” to answer that question for yourself. Hopefully the “Biblical canon manuscripts.xlsx” spreadsheet from Part 2 will help you with that answer. I’m packing a lot of nerdy terms into this post that are easily Googleable, or found on Wikipedia, but the synthesis of those terms and ideas is my own.

Hopefully the included “Biblical canon manuscripts.xlsx” spreadsheet will help you with that answer.
