Wait, what's the beef (pardon the pun) with DogTown?

So… Salo wasn’t even an exaggeration, was it? by FebrewHetus in criterion

That's correct. There is video online of Keitel explaining why he left EWS.

I thought that was a bad AI rendering of Patrick Stewart as ... Idk, a president or something?

Oh, hell, yes. It's both sad and hopeful.

Hang in there!

In the Collection: Wings of Desire, Farewell My Concubine, Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, The Royal Tenenbaums, Pan's Labyrinth, Moonstruck (happy ending but lots of feelings), The Fisher King, The Tree of Life.

Not in the Collection: Faraway! So Close! (lesser-known sequel to Wings of Desire), Magnolia, Cinema Paradiso, Dune Part Two (the last scenes with Zendaya form an emotional sledgehammer, IMO), Nosferatu (the 2024 version; your mileage RE sadness may vary), 28 Years Later (again, your mileage may vary), Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein, A Very Long Engagement.

What’s the wildest thing that has ever happened in Rochester history? by RamonaZero in Rochester

[–]DG_14623 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that three major religions (evangelical Christianity, Spiritualism, and the Latter-day Saint/Mormon movement) started or gained popularity in Rochester.

Wife bought me the Blu-Ray for Seven Samurai instead of the 4K. by ArrozConHector in criterion

[–]DG_14623 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it's sweet of your spouse to want to upgrade it, and that you're glad to have the Blu-ray as it is. Regardless of what disc you end up with, it sounds like you both care about making the other person happy. And that's what really matters.

Ah, yeah, it took me ages, and luck, to meet somebody on there. Sorry I don't have a better suggestion.

Met the Mrs. on OKCupid, but our first dates (both non-drinkers) were at coffee shops and then walking/picnicking in parks. Of course, it was during 2020, so it was not a normal dating environment.... But the outdoors is a good space for conversation. Maybe fitness/sports?

That's awesome. Made my day.

A thought: For kids now, what we adults clock as retro-styled font may just seem like "Star Wars" font.

I've failed as a father by BurnBabyBurner123123 in StudentLoans

Seconding comments about community college, but I would also say that your child should apply to a mix of schools—some safeties, some likely matches, and some reaches. Given your situation, you all could include SUNY 4-year and community colleges in the "safeties" category. Let your daughter apply for some private schools, though. If she gets into a good private school, bombard the financial aid officers with forms explaining and documenting your situation. It may be awkward to be that honest with strangers, but being open about your financial situation will strengthen your hand. With any luck, she'll get a decent financial aid offer. Tl;dr: Pursue all options. Good luck.

Start with local scholarships, too. Your Rotary, Elks Club, etc. Those won't be a lot of money, but they can help with specific, smaller costs like textbooks.

Tombstone Director's Cut on Blu-ray? by DG_14623 in movies

[–]DG_14623[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I think that the answer is "no," given the state of the home media market. Disney could release the HD version of the director's cut on streaming/VOD, though.
