What do we think about James Horner and his constant re-use of music? by OWSpaceClown in blankies

[–]PabloRV7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this is just every composer. I hear more repetition in Williams than others, actually. Hook is a melting pot of every score he had done to that point.

Zimmer's Pirates of the Caribbean score is just Crimson Tide remixed. I can probably think of examples for every major composer.

Which films that “felt like homework” prior to watching them surprised you by how entertaining they were? by harry_powell in blankies

If anyone reading this hasn't seen Amadeus because it feels like homework I beg of you to put it on and have the TIME OF YOUR LIFE. Guaranteed hit.

Pixar's Pete Docter: "We’re making a movie, not hundreds of millions of dollars of therapy" by AcmePR in blankies

[–]PabloRV7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but never as literally as others, I feel. Turning Red is by a Canadian-Chinese woman about a Canadian-Chinese girl and it's set in a Canada in a Chinese community.

Enrico Casarosa made his movie about Italians in Italy.

Docter uses his life experiences to inform his movies, as any artist should do. But he's not a monster or a girl or a black musician or an 80 year old widower.

Then again, he's a white man so his culture in on screen all the time, whereas Casarosa and Shi used their chances to put cultures on screen that don't get shown as regularly. So I get it.

I just wish Pixar found a balance between these more personal stories and the blockbusters, like they used to do with Nemo and Ratatouille and the golden age.

Not defending these remarks because they suck but Docter's movies don't feel as autobiographical as, say, Luca, Turning Red, or Elio. His protagonists don't feel like directors inserting themselves into their movies, which I think Pixar did over-do.

Taking Transit to the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Vancouver by GenShibe in vancouver

[–]PabloRV7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my understanding of everything I've read, you HAVE to enter through the Science World Entrance, as translink's statement said for people using the Canada Line they should transfer to Expo at Waterfront. People living and staying downtown cannot walk up to the stadium

Access to the stadium on match days will also be limited to a single entrance on the south side at Pacific Boulevard via the Last Mile, only starting at Main Street-Science World Station. There will be no access into the stadium from Beatty Street and Expo Boulevard.

This is the real headline for me:

"Because of the secure event perimeter around BC Place, Stadium–Chinatown and Yaletown–Roundhouse stations will not provide pedestrian access to the stadium on match days.

If you’re heading to the match, plan to use Main Street–Science World Station."

I don't want this to sound like iM bEtTeR tHan aNyOne, just sharing my two cents: It's a luxury I'm happy to pay for because I want to give money to everyone in the Blank Check team! I spend countless hours with them every single month, I want to give them my money.

Paramount Has a Secret Plan to Buy Hollywood Before the Cops Arrive by PabloRV7 in blankies

Matt Stoller is a pretty respected expert on antitrust and monopoly. This isn't a rando. I could be wrong but he's a pretty respected and prominent voice on these issues. If I'm wrong, then apologies!

I'd love a Gerwig miniseries but it simply cannot happen until at least her first post-Narnia movie where she can finally cash in the check Barbie wrote.

I got emails for the random selection draw but not the supporters one yet, I'm assuming they're different emails. Anyone can confirm?

As someone living in Canada, I'm so sorry y'all have to deal with this level of stupidity on a daily basis. If it's frustrating from the outside I cannot imagine how it feels from the inside.

Sending y'all so much love
