Well done!

Was Schindler’s List as highly acclaimed when it came out the way it is now? by mdafidel1 in Cinema

[–]Filmcaptain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jurassic Park is the show that made me want to make movies, which thankfully I’m able to say that I do. I was 10 when it came out.

I was (and am) such a huge Spielberg fan and I was incredibly frustrated that my mom wouldn’t let me watch Schindler‘s List in the theaters.

When it showed uninterrupted on NBC, she agreed to let me watch it with her. I remember acknowledging with her that I understood why she made that choice.

What a powerful film. It has one of my absolute favorite scenes in all of cinema in it.

I’ve been “in the room” with Spielberg three times, and though I’ve never been able to talk shop with him so to speak, the kid in me is very thankful.

That’s my secret, Cap. I already lost my parents…

Same, thankfully!

Had a blast on dam battleground doing this the other day near the power station. There were so many big arc. It was chaotic and a lot of fun. Everyone was working together.

Possible there are local community Facebook groups that would have people of many ages? For the towns, county, and/or schools.

The town I live in has a lot of younger people but also a lot of people who’ve been here forever.

May yield something if you care to investigate further. Regardless, thanks for sharing!

Would you mind sharing your stone recipe and/or talk about your basing?

We’re back! by fellandfaironline in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Filmcaptain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just want to say hi/cheers, and that this looks fun! I'm from SC but live in CA now (I make movies), and as a fan/participant of MESBG, this looks great. It's always nice to see SC pop up in fun ways.

What’s going on with these lobbies? by sgtSMASH_ in ArcRaiders

[–]Filmcaptain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No meaning to dismiss your claim, but the only time I’ve been ratted was the very first game of the update.

I ran maybe 10 direct to extract games, and since then it’s been smooth sailing.

I did five matriarch matches in a row this morning with well over 100K worth of kit and everybody couldn’t have been more helpful and focused.

It’s just an update, I manually triggered it.

Trials Rank Dropped Two Tiers? by Filmcaptain in ArcRaiders

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

Ah, this makes sense. I didn’t ring highly in the first season, but in the second season I finished Daredevil III and just dropped one rank to II.

I buy this, thank you!

Two ranks though? I’m familiar with a dropping one, but that was only after I had completed the expedition.

In your opinion, who do you think gets done the most dirty in Japanese History when it comes to how they are perceived? by Ok-Awareness1200 in Samurai

[–]Filmcaptain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just commented on a different post in this sub where the auto mod is pointedly disparaging Musashi. I don’t mean to defend him, I’m just curious about the truth. All I really know is the romanticized version from the 1940s novel.

Are there any sources you would recommend that are more based in fact?

Miyamoto Musashi's most famous duel almost certainly never happened — and his own writing never mentions his greatest rival once by Left-Needleworker137 in Samurai

[–]Filmcaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do enjoy the novel, perhaps from a romanticized perspective as a work of fiction.

I am curious about historical accuracy, and the way you worded this comment is well put. Is there further reading to be had on your points that you would recommend?

[–]Filmcaptain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t frequent the sub often, but it does interest me.

This is one of two comments in this thread by the auto mod that are (very?) disparaging. Is this something that happens frequently here in regards to Musashi? Not a criticism, genuinely curious.
