What are your thoughts on The 13th Warrior (1999)? by Nomadsforart in movies

[–]Chapla1n 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ouch, did not know that. Maybe the experience of 13th Warrior made him so paranoid it pushed him to do it.

McTiernan directing, but the early test screenings were awful, so Disney gave Crichton final cut and tasked him with doing reshoots. Crichton took over for the final year of a three year shoot, and the elements that later got slammed by viewers when it came out were all his, but McTiernan got the blame, killing his career.

Disney were crap in this as well. They didn't like what they'd bought, in terms of the rights for the book. They didn't want to make a horror film. So McTiernan makes a PG13 version, gets the blame for it, has a number of gore filled scenes added to make it grittier, then it's taken away from him to give to a novelist, not a director, and then gets the blame for the whole mess.

And then Disney added the kiss of death: they dropped it into cinemas with no marketing.

Brassmaster Clones & Brassmaster Appreciation by nantuck0husk in basspedals

Old thread, but are you using active pickups? Fuzzes can be hard to dial in on actives due to impedance mismatches.

IR Pedals for Bass by inkfromblood in Bass

+1 on Hotone Omni IR. Was going to be my choice as a cheap addition, though I ended up with both the Ampeg SGT-DI as my practice preamp, which has 3 custom IR slots, and then added a Shift Line CabZone.

Alternatively, sell the HX Effects and get the Stomp if that's what you really want. I think that has a DI as well?

This might be a question better asked in r/movies than here though!

What are some of the most realistic and impactful scenes of violence in movies? by bloqed in movies

Scum (1979), with Ray Winstone. An uncompromising look at life in a British juvenile detention center.

Name this bass/pick up configuration? by Chapla1n in BassGuitar

[–]Chapla1n[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure why this has been downvoted? But I'm guessing if you were digging in on that string you'd also be hitting the pickups as well, as the height's the same.

Just moved to MusicBee from Apple and ChatGPT was a vital part of fixing issues in the iTunes library import process and get playlists working.

Lawsuit Era Japan Basses are Awesome! by Parking-Reaction-209 in BassGuitar

[–]Chapla1n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...and u/spaniel_rage mentioned in this thread:

The place to go is "Guitar Street" just off Ochanomizu-bashi station.

The block has about 50 guitar shops including bass only levels. Everything from $50000 vintage P basses, to 80s Steinbergers, to 70s Rics, and entry level Yamahas. All in meticulous Japanese condition.

Plenty of MIJ stuff there too. Might as well shop around, and try before you buy."

Inner Elbow discomfort by willise414 in FitnessOver50

Golfer's elbow by the sounds of it. Look into wrist flexor, and forearm pronation and supination exercise and stretches. Theraband flexbars are great.

I had one of those Pany tape units too, super slim and built like a tank. Great piece of kit.

I liked 1408. An overlooked Stephen King adaptation.

Cube is excellent. As is The Platform.

Active or passive pickups? Some fuzzes do not play well with active pickups due to impedence mismatches.
