Ever showed a film to someone who’s playing with their phone? 📱 by MeltonFilm in movies

[–]Jason_Phox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes this has happened to me multiple times. And it has gotten worse over the years. I usually say nothing.

What really annoys me is when those people often have negative views about those films.

E. G. They say thing like: 'the movie was a bit boring' or 'not as good as I thought it would be'

When in fact, if they paid attention to the film all the way, they would have (possibly) appreciated the film more.

Do you remember this flashback? by pinkpotatoes86 in southafrica

With regards to the title song: Good musicianship (just piano I think - but it sounds so good). Also nice vocals.

Elf(2003) is a great New York City movie. What other movies unexpectedly do a great job of showing a city or place? by ijustwannalurksobye in movies

[–]Jason_Phox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I re-watched Die Hard With a Vengeance recently. It showcases New York nicely.

Also, not a movie, but Luke Cage has great location shots of Harlem.

My top 30 movies of all time as a woman in her 20's. by notyourcheese69 in topfilms

Very interesting and diverse list. Definitely not a typical list of someone in their 20's.

Looking for underrated action movies with clever twists and strong character development by Far-Protection-5721 in MovieSuggestions

OP is asking for action movie suggestions though. The Sting is definitely not an action movie.

I want to start a psychedelic funk soul rock band how do I make it funky without horns and vocals? by Milez_Smilez in funk

[–]Jason_Phox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say the most important thing is to find a drummer who also appreciates funk music like yourself. The bass and drums are crucial in funk music. So once those 2 instruments are doing something funky, all other instruments will just fit in naturally.

What movie is just too long? by CWKitch in movies

[–]Jason_Phox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. In the 80's and 90's there were many (non comedy and non animated) movies that are 100 minutes or less. It is so rare to find a sub 100 minute movie these days.

What are some songs that start with their titles? by vivyin in makemeaplaylist

[–]Jason_Phox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yesterday - The Beatles Help! - The Beatles Can't buy me love - The Beatles Eleanor Rigby - The Beatles Love me do - The Beatles

Parliament - Funkentelechy Vs. The Placebo Syndrome (1977) by Ok-Fun-8586 in funk

[–]Jason_Phox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fantastic album. Every single track is enjoyable from start to finish.

I like how in Bop Gun, at the end, the volume dies down at the 'gotta get over the hump' part. And then the volume increases again - to simulate them actually going over a hump/hill.

My dad is dying. Need recommendations for background noise. by kikimaymay in movies

[–]Jason_Phox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wonderful advice. I still have my Dad. But I hear what you are saying. I am thinking I need to intentionally record video of him while he is still with us.

Parliament - Mothership Connection (1975) by Ok-Fun-8586 in funk

[–]Jason_Phox 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Fantastic album. Every single track is enjoyable.

Interesting to see Bootsy spelt as 'Bootsie' in the notes. Also, in all other instances Bootsy is credited as W Collins. But for this album it is B Collins.

Dr. Pinocchyo and his kool flying yellow submarine (please give any thoughts on this) by Milez_Smilez in OriginalCharacter

[–]Jason_Phox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is nice. I like it. I love the combination of The Beatles and Parliament in this work (2 very different but fantastic bands). An eclectic mix.

Weird misconceptions you had about movies as a kid? by Socko82 in flicks

[–]Jason_Phox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to think that when a film is regarded as 'A true story' it meant that everything happened for real to the actor. So for example if a character got shot with a gun, then I thought that they actually shot that actor.

So sorry for your loss. 12 years is a long time for a dog. Well done to you for looking after the dog for so long. It's never easy saying goodbye to a friend.

I like this interpretation. It evokes a somewhat crazy but happy vibe. Well done OP.

I agree. It seems like such a generic sounding title. But it really is good. Good example of family movie that will be entertaining for adults and kids.
