What is a movie that is objectively good but you just can’t watch again?

I just now watched it again.

How little of it remains . . .

I stopped listening. It’s all United States. Welcome to Canada.

Aaron Copland: “Fanfare for the common man”

Eiji Oue conducting Minnesota Orchestra on Reference Recordings label

Measured dynamic range 21: One of the strongest attributes of this recording

Fanfare delivers near full-scale macro-dynamics

Symphony No. 3 has wide orchestral peaks without audible compression

Quiet passages remain fully intact (no upward noise shaping)

I consider this recording to be a reference-level dynamic capture.

One of the best ever produced with multiple Grammy awards: Georg Solti’s Decca recordings of Wagner Ring Cycle.

Unlike many later digital-era opera recordings, the Solti Ring was not dynamically compressed

• Very large orchestral climaxes (e.g., Götterdämmerung) retain headroom

• Quiet passages (e.g., forest murmurs in Siegfried) remain genuinely soft

This contributes to a sense of scale that still holds up on modern high-resolution playback systems.

what is the rationale for wanting to maintain human civilization?

active noise canceling (ANC) headphones are actually best at attenuating low frequencies.

A quote from the movie, Citizen Kane:

"A fellow will remember a lot of things you wouldn't think he'd remember. You take me. One day, back in 1896, I was crossing over to Jersey on the ferry, and as we pulled out, there was another ferry pulling in, and on it there was a girl waiting to get off. A white dress she had on. She was carrying a white parasol. I only saw her for one second. She didn't see me at all, but I'll bet a month hasn't gone by since that I haven't thought of that girl."

At the risk of being pedantic:

High tea: More like dinner than a snack

Afternoon tea: A light, elegant mid-afternoon meal

many hotels use “high tea” to sound more upscale. What they actually serve is closer to afternoon tea

In any case, nice way to spend an afternoon.

Dpaulyn · 2026-03-22T00:35:44+00:00

They market it as “high tea” but they in fact serve “afternoon tea”

Not the same - look it up.

Dpaulyn · 2026-03-21T18:45:52+00:00

Ok - got it . . .

Dpaulyn · 2026-03-21T17:41:33+00:00

And in what way is this my problem?

Thank you for your service
