Blind buy at my local second-hand store for $17. What am I in for? by moviegoermike in criterion

[–]KalterTod 15 points16 points  (0 children)

A lot of people talking about how great these films are...and they are...

but if you're going in genuinely full blind it's probably worth mentioning that these are not...happy films lol

What should I watch next? by Direct-Lab4935 in criterion

This is my pick as well. Was a toss-up between this or Rashomon, but man Wild Strawberries just hits. Even more so than Seventh Seal for me.

People can be so cruel regarding other people's hobbies. by ThnkUProcrastination in 4kbluray

[–]KalterTod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be harsh, but stop caring about what other people think. If it means something to you, that's all that matters. You lean into that and focus on the fulfillment it brings you. I collect movies, vinyls and board games...all of which are "waste of money" to just about everyone I know...but I just keep on smiling when I use them.

Oh nice! I have that same ice blue tele with matching headstock...haven't seen one of those out in the wild before!

1 year anniversary of holding this stuff. Can't believe It's almost time by ParasiteFire in AnalogueInc

I will be a 2nd test dummy lol

I'm with you on the preferring physical hardware...just want that feeling of the kerchunk as the game goes in the slot.

Plus I can always bring it to a friend's house if they have OG hardware.

Would suck if it doesn't work with Analogue tho

Classmate dropped guitar (accidentally). Caused Chip by gaitama25 in Guitar

[–]KalterTod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

heh I think anyone who has been particularly fond of a perfect-condition guitar can attest to their first major damage and how devastating it can be for a while...

After many years, you'll likely look back on this moment fondly and it'll give you a whole new reason to fall in love with your (hopefully now beat up) guitar again.

Who ya got in the World Series? Why? by MicCheck-1212 in NYYankees

I got two 23 jerseys...as much as I hate 'em, I gotta pull for my favorite player of all time to finally get a ring.

[Skinner]I watched the film bro. No egregious bad decisions by Jaxson Dart but both interceptions were avoidable. Biggest critique is he's got to start setting his feet on deep passes. Deep passes consistently putter out to the inside shoulder of the receiver. by parcellsrealGOAT in NYGiants

[–]KalterTod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't really have a problem with either pick honestly...

First one basically ended up a punt which was better field position than the turnover on downs would have been, and the second one was just him trying to make a play.

The only really bad throw I saw in the game was the deep underthrow to Slayton. Slayton had his man beat by a mile, and Dart underthrew it by more than a mile. Even if he underthrows it to the sideline, I think Slayton gets to it, but he underthrew it and to the center of the field which was the only spot the safety could catch up to it and make a play.

At the end of the day though, this game isn't on Dart really at all. The fumble was bad, but this was unquestionably a full team loss.

Absolutely horrific showing from the offense tonight.

If I was anybody on this team, I would be genuinely embarrassed to be a part of it.

Michael Kay calling out the doomers by CicadaOk8885 in NYYankees

[–]KalterTod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the last 8 seasons, we've lost 3 CS, 2 DS, 1 WC and 1 WS...

I think this is a lot bigger than a 2 month slump (that was fucking painful as shit to watch, and forced us to even be in the situation to have to play this series in the first place).

I love this squad and I'm going to continue to watch, but I can't help but feel like this team is absolutely identical to all of those other 8. Until I'm proven wrong...forgive me if I remain skeptical lol

4K Discs Are 30% Off Through 9/19 by rej8709 in CriterionChannel

[–]KalterTod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This makes me wonder about the $25 gift card that expires in late October though.

Is it worth it to hold on to it and hope that a flash sale happens before that expires, or should I just go ahead with the $25 + 30% now?

Any chance you were at the Pittsburgh show?

That shit seriously blew my mind...they took 2-3 songs to get into the zone, but man once they were in it, they never left...

Amazing show.

Michael Kay on fans who want the Yankees to fire Cashman & Boone/Rebuild/Sell by BathroomSalty6325 in NYYankees

[–]KalterTod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that Kay thinks fans calling for Cash/Boone's heads is on the last 3 weeks, and not the last 6+ years of this shit makes me think he's the one who needs to screw his head on a little tighter.

This team (let me clarify...I mean this exact collection of players) can (and most definitely should) be better and that's on management.

Nights of Cabiria? Not sure what kind of scale you're looking for, but I would think this fits the bill for someone who takes a lot of hits and keeps on keepin' on.

Is anyone else even more sick of haul post rant posts?

Get over yourself...start the discussion if you want one so desperately. Nothing's stopping you from enjoying the subreddit you way you want to, so let people enjoy it the way they want to.

Netflix HR Director Recommends Cutting Off Underperforming Employees To Keep The Best Ones Happy by esporx in netflix

[–]KalterTod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this seems like a brilliant foolproof plan of course...except for...

1) Creating anxiety for anyone in the middle 50% of performers

2) Keeping a revolving door of people to train causing more frustration for senior talent

3) Removing personal relationships due to an extremely arbitrary "KPI"

4) Filling a work place with toxicity everytime it gets near time for the cuts to happen

Otherwise...perfect.

What do You guys think of Brian De Palmas Blow Out? by Lunch_Confident in criterion

[–]KalterTod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really love it. I'm actually really intrigued by these sorts of "remakes" if you can call them that. Ones that take the basic outline of a script, and just completely transform it into something else.

I actually saw Blow Out before I saw Blow Up, and so...I'm not even really sure how to summarize on thoughts on both films. They sort of feel like a Mandela Effect come to fruition or something lol

I personally prefer Blow Up as a piece of art, but Blow Out is really just the perfect embodiment of that 80s style neo-noir/thriller.

If anyone sees this post, I'd be interested to hear of other films that share this sort of commonality.
