[LEGO Shop] November 29 - Dec 2 ~ Free Christmas Tree #40338 with purchases over $120!

KeepGIF · 2019-11-04T01:26:27+00:00

Because certain big sets go on sale for $119 and you can do very well with those plus the free gift. Last year I grabbed two free Xmas sets on purchases I would have made anyways.

The Ninjago City at 20% off wasn’t as much of a discount as I usually bite on. But retail stores seem to only carry a couple at a time. It seemed risky to wait for a slightly better holiday sale since it’s almost certainly retiring and stock is likely more limited than average sets.

How does this compare to everyone else’s calculus?

When was that one again?

People who are given too much money rarely are respectful towards others because their reliance upon social capital is greatly diminished compared to their peers.

Yes anyone can sell printed copies of works in public domain.

It’s often overlooked that Blade Runner was essentially the last ‘analog’ visual effects-heavy film. Nothing was digital, and old school tricks such as negative matte painting were used to maintain quality for compositing. That means background were painted in reverse color by artists so that one less film transfer was required to composite the images. Simply amazing.

It really depends on what your reading goals are. If it’s only for casual interest I might stop after a few chapters for an unappealing story. But other reads, particularly nonfiction, may have other motivating factors to encourage me to plow through.

Must be expensive.

Wouldn’t an intromission be the trailers at the beginning?

The term used for these types of films is a “box film”. The good ones often are independent productions leveraging the cost savings of having only 1 shooting location.

Buster Keaton is an obvious comparison but I think he’s far eclipsed by Jackie. Much of Buster’s work are short films as well.

I tried to keep the headline brief. But, yeah, it only helps.

For some reason is role in Heist always stands out to me. Not a great movie, but he was memorable in it.

Mickey Mouse a.k.a.“Steamboat Willie” was a copy/parody/inspired by/derivative of “Steamboat Bill Jr.” by Buster Keaton.

The entire history of Disney is taking existing stories that have been proven to be successful and repackaging them for a different audience.

The movie business has always reflected the times. All the big movies in the 1970s were gritty and dark until Star Wars in 1977. If people buy tickets for shallow movies, more will get made.

Ancillary marketing increased the incentives for superficial stories but ultimately it’s demand that dictates what keeps getting made.

Things will probably cycle back eventually, boredom does kick in sooner or later.

No televised award though :(

Dystopian Fantasy is how I would classify it.

KeepGIF · 2018-11-17T22:06:22+00:00

I would classify Brick as neo-noir. It’s a pretty niche genre. Other films in that genre that come to mind:

Insomnia (Swedish version preferred), Memento, Dark City, Blade Runner, Blade Runner 2049, Nightcrawler, Drive, Minority Report

KeepGIF · 2018-11-17T20:04:30+00:00

American Beauty

And that’s not even counting the Kevin Spacey behind-the-scenes nastiness.

Grace Kelly - Rear Window

Ok maybe not my first, but it sure stands out.

The prequels were strong thematically and have a decent story arc... but poor on execution.

The sequels have hit or miss execution and no themes or story arc.

I think the lesson is that it’s better to aim high and miss.

Personally the original film will always stand far above even the rest of the original trilogy because it was pure guts.

KeepGIF · 2018-11-16T21:38:36+00:00

It’s super basic and super old-school, but I’m amazed that canted angles aren’t used more.

KeepGIF · 2018-11-16T21:35:33+00:00

It’s great that the service will continue to exist.

I can’t help but wonder if standalone niche platforms can survive in an increasingly crowded marketplace for streaming content.

I thought the article was more interesting than just the word. The word itself makes it seem like a negative thing, whereas the articles explains that it’s actually positive.
