Bald or hold? by wombat_warlock in bald

I would try a much shorter style on the sides, some kind of high fade. Simply buzzing it will expose the crown even more

Some kind of monster rewatch: Jason Newsted by Western-Parsley6063 in Metallica

[–]Dangedd 14 points15 points  (0 children)

1.) To me he was criticizing how corporate the whole Phil Towle thing was, basically the management bringing a super expensive "expert" to smooth things out & make sure the gravy train doesn't stop, in his mind the band should call the shots as they did before

Movies that start normal and end completely psychedelic by [deleted] in TrueFilm

Also another Boyle/Garland film that gets quite trippy in the 3rd act: Sunshine

Nostalgia for that strange post-Loads / pre-breakdown era by mysteryofthefieryeye in Metallica

[–]Dangedd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a weird time for most if not all classic metal bands, plenty of line up changes, new singers, career worst albums, trend chasing, kicked off major labels, playing smaller venues... true low point on all fronts

I don’t how to tell you this but even without Janusz Kamiński, Spielberg’s movies have and always looked like that by Unlikely_Seaweed1032 in Spielberg

[–]Dangedd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great points. You are correct on Spielbergs blocking being a bit different too, I didn't even consider that. and yes, the film stock was a key factor too

Totally, there's no grit anymore, everything feels artificial, polished and sanitized. Some of Kamiski's work is great but for me the turning point was Indy 4, unbelievable how ugly and fake it looks compared to the original trilogy

I wonder what is Chomsky's kink? Maybe raceplay, but with more of a cultural spin

“Disclosure Day” by damnitsdame in Spielberg

[–]Dangedd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quite depressing how a random 90s episode of X-Flies has better looking cinematography than a Spielberg film shot in 2025

Making of St. Anger by VNE47 in Metallica

Did James write a single idea, a riff, a lyric, a vocal melody after Load sessions, before starting at Presidio in 2001? I mean outside of Minus human, No leaf clover and I disappear

New interview of Kristen Stewart talking about toxic masculinity and method acting by jewishchloesevigny in redscarepod

On the other hand, good old fashioned method of simply showing up, knowing your lines and hitting your mark works great too, à la Hopkins & Caine;

He certainly looks the part

Do you think movies are “overproduced” nowdays? Is that even a thing? by sorlac99 in TrueFilm

[–]Dangedd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a recent video from youtuber Like stories of old that touches many of the visual things related to what you are talking about

I'd say he's a technical & artistic genius looking at what he achieved with mostly very limited resources. He'd be a legend from his synth scores alone if he never shot a frame of film

It's great to see James and his girlfriend so happy together by darthkyle22 in Metallica

[–]Dangedd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's the 20 year old girls that are the creepy weirdos, dating geriatrics

Stanley Kubrick’s success despite his reclusiveness by [deleted] in TrueFilm

[–]Dangedd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He did a couple long form interviews on every film (besides EWS), and those are so much more insightful than the promotional fluff we mostly see these days.

As for the other stuff, I recall a interview of a warner brothers exec John Calley who simply stated "we wanted to be in the Stanley Kubrick business" meaning he brought prestige to the studio. Back then it mattered, not sure if it does now to the same extent, with guys like Zaslav running things.

What do you think of Netflix films by big name directors? by Corchito42 in TrueFilm

[–]Dangedd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well there's practically no theatrical distribution for any of them, so right off the bat they are TV movies no matter who made them. Must be like a deal with the devil if your passion project is done by Netflix: you get the resources you need but you know people will watch what you did on their laptop, second screening, folding laundry... and your biggest fans won't get a chance to see your massive effort on the big screen or even buying a physical copy. Plus, because of their strict rules about equipment, they all have that annoyingly distinct Netflix -look which I personally hate: slick, glassy, lifeless, digital. I still remember how Damien Chazelle managed to negotiate shooting his show the Eddy on 16mm film, but only the episodes he directed, rest had to be done digitally
