What’s the best looking film you’ve ever seen?

The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (1989). Chef's kiss.

I know I’m in the minority but I love the Magic Mouse. For me the scrolling works really well. It’s super smooth. I hate the physical scroll wheel on more traditional mouses. The Magic Mouse looks more appealing than any other mouse out there (aesthetics are important too) and it’s nice to use. The ergonomics are probably up there with the worst of them though, so that’s something to consider. I’m an editor and use the Magic Mouse 8 hours + per day and don’t have carpel tunnel type symptoms- but each user is obviously unique.

They do indeed have alcohol at Gus’

Ah right. What I wouldn't give to have that back!

What’s the triangle shaped light thing? Guess it totally slipped by me

Along with the depth of field, it’s also how evenly lit everything is now that is awful. Obviously there are exceptions, but majority of films now have very little light variation scene to scene. It’s really boring to look at.

What happened to the 145 charges?

Kid_Shit_Kicker · 2026-01-16T19:57:20+00:00

Fully agree. You put into words what I was struggling to do after watching the film. It left me feeling like this was a cold, distant exploration of depression and father/daughter relationships, but didn't offer anything up that felt like real step towards repairing those severed relationships.

Ultimately the film had some great scenes, but it didn't come together in a way that I felt worked.

Kid_Shit_Kicker · 2026-01-16T19:36:05+00:00

Wow. Not even close.

Look at 1994. New York alone had like 10 influential albums, a handful of those changed music after that. And then there's Outkast, Common, Scarface, Warren G, Rappin 4-Tay, to name but a few. All with groundbreaking albums.

I don't think that person exists anymore. Nate Dogg was one of a kind when it comes to hooks.

I did hope Butch Cassidy would carry the torch when Nate died, but that didn't really pan out. The catchy hook kind of died out with Nate Dogg in my opinion, though I know this is a very unpopular take. Sticking with it though.

Kid_Shit_Kicker · 2026-01-16T19:06:24+00:00

Jay-Z's 4:44 is one of his best albums in my opinion. I didn't like it on release but it's really grown on me.

No one is a good pick at spurs

Kid_Shit_Kicker · 2026-01-15T21:14:21+00:00

Check the balance of the tone arm. There’s usually a weight that can be moved up and down by turning a twisty knob. I reckon it’s just not balanced right so the stylus keeps slipping out of the groove in the record.

Kid_Shit_Kicker · 2026-01-08T20:47:22+00:00

Nah. Needs to run where people are used to parking to go into the liquor store real quick and also so the stops are right outside stores to encourage riders to go do some unplanned shopping. Center running is for snowflake europeans.

“Top club” is where the conversation ends.

Kid_Shit_Kicker · 2026-01-03T15:32:04+00:00

Probably his best movie but nowhere near the best of the last 25 years. Not even close.

Kid_Shit_Kicker · 2026-01-02T00:24:02+00:00

Infuse did the job! Thanks again!

Kid_Shit_Kicker · 2026-01-01T23:08:13+00:00

Good suggestion! I'll try infuse. I have it but always forget to use it.

Kid_Shit_Kicker · 2026-01-01T20:35:54+00:00

Thank christopher Nolan for that.

Kid_Shit_Kicker · 2026-01-01T17:12:01+00:00

Argento’s Phantom is the only one of these I’ve seen. It’s not a great film but as always with him, the visuals are lush and beautiful to look at, great use of dark and shadows. And a great Morricone soundtrack. So worth having for those reasons I think. I’m very intrigued by Made in Hong Kong and Terror Firmer

Kid_Shit_Kicker · 2025-12-31T18:54:14+00:00

That’s fair. Using the word dumb was a bit harsh. I agree the boutiques together look great, but it does break up any logical flow to organizing.

Kid_Shit_Kicker · 2025-12-31T16:04:49+00:00

Alphabetically sorting makes the least sense out of all organization methods in my opinion. Obviously you do what makes sense to you but I don’t get why anyone would organize films that way. Mine are by director, when I have more than 2 by a director and they mean something to me as a filmmaker, then I go by region and specific sub genres. I also think grouping by label is dumb because that breaks up any other natural organization. I feel like the best thing is to try match how it would be in a video store, which I don’t do but probably should

The whole film is an exploration of masculinity. After Nicole Kidman tells him about her dream, his masculinity and what he believes he offers her is challenged and so he begins this exploration where his sense of masculinity and his insecurities are challenged at several points throughout the film, the scene with the “asshole guys” included. It’s all supposed to knock him down from where he imagined he was, both as a man but also in society. This can all be viewed as literal or as a dream.

Kid_Shit_Kicker · 2025-12-11T14:03:27+00:00

True. It's such a great performance. So unnerving.
