Post a controversial opinion

i watched the theatrical cut last year and went in as open as i could possibly be toward the narration, but it's a huge obstacle

that unicorn shot may be from legion but i love it

does The Final Cut have added any added sfx? it looked suspiciously modified, but that could've just been the quality of the blu-ray vs. the few clips I'd seen of the movie in documentaries, on TV, etc. that were much more washed out and less pristine looking. sound design is still incredible and ahead of its time.

the final cut has pretty radically different color scheme from the previous prints but that's bc they worked hard on remastering it afaik

other than that idk

gotcha, that's what I thought. i'd really love to see a 35mm print of BR despite its issues.

the final cut on the big screen was something else, the colors (which seemed actually a bit muted in previous versions) really popped, especially the blues and neons. and that version actually has some reshoots involving Joanna Cassidy; i don't recall why they were there, but they were in the street chase scene iirc.

it was because Ridley thought the stunt double was too obvious

Estranging oneself from one’s parents doesn’t seem like it should be as difficult as people make it out to be.

its not really unless yr aunts are involved ime

Xp it depends on the type of relationships you were raised with, how much emphasis was put on “family”, what kinds of things tie you to those relationships. Eg im still on mostly good terms with my parents but have divorced a quite a few other relatives who I think are assholes, including my big brother. It wasn’t hard for me bc there was never much stock placed in the concept of family when I was growing up. We didn’t do things as a family, we didn’t talk to each other about anything meaningful. There was no real closeness there.

I really feel for people who are in toxic relationships with family that they can’t readily extract themselves from, no matter how much better off they’d be.

i can't really parse this. it was difficult for me. the idea that it could, nonetheless "should", have been easier isn't something i can get my head around.

As Freud said: parent/child relationships are really simple.

It's sad but it's not difficult if there is a valid reason and you are unwilling to keep enabling that behaviour or giving a pass on it. I know a woman who can't estrange herself from her toxic, racist, Trump supporting parents because she needs the free childcare. Allyship for most people absolutely just means "whenever it's convenient."

Don't even get me started on women married to men who can't be bothered to support their wives' basic civil rights. He has a lot on his mind!

the election needle is dumb but cool

i wish it would jiggle even more

Bruce Springsteen is lame

I never cared for Springsteen, either. But opinions about pop music are all equally controversial and equally ignorable.

Yes. Could never get into Springsteen. Nebraska is lo-fi? BS - every vocal is coated in reverb

also the Backstreet Boys ripped off the refrain of "Atlantic City" for "I Want It That Way"

take your bullshit opinions about the boss to ilm so i don't have to read 'em

woah, you're right xpost

FINE

x[

xp

lol

poch out

Nebraska is "dark" & "spare" not so much "lo-fi"

true. knowing he recorded it on one of the earliest Tascam 4-tracks gave me the wrong impression going in. I wasn't expecting Ariel Pink or R. Stevie Moore or whatever but it doesn't sound like "a Tascam record." it's too clean

Springsteen is like France for me...I only learned to appreciate them after I got old.

I always think my old man, a confessed atheist, is really a bitter Christian waiting for a sign. I'm sort of the same with the Dead so keep the channels open. Damn but I'm consistently surprised - for a band so feted for their transcendence - how earthbound and lumpen they are. I await the call.

a confessed atheist!

always loved darkness on the edge of town

i've met some dudes that hate the boss bc they think he's a poser but u kno what

hes done his due diligence

Xp he's a mess of contradictions.

Like Whitman he is large, he contains multitudes

There are no good James Bond films

You only think that because you are over the age of 12.

How do you know?

Maybe I'm the littlest ILXor

I have no solid information about your stature. Your post-pubescent status appears relatively certain. For one thing, you think there are no good James Bond films.

GoldenEye is the best James Bond movie

I'd probably go with Live and Let Die as the best, but that doesn't make it good.

russia with love is best bond and is 8/10

Live and Let Die is my favourite Bond, but From Russia With Love and Dr No are definitely much better films.

most films are bad

most everything is bad

theres still more than enough good left

i agree with the second part

Skyfall is really good, and one of the best uses of Roger Deakins
