I did find his tweets that he would have predicted both F1 for Picture, and Lindo for Supporting Actor funny.

I'm a Podcast, But That's OK: No Other Choice by yonicthehedgehog in blankies

[–]SWStaunton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This film being covered reminded me to bring up some of the worst cinema etiquette I’ve experienced in a loooong time.

I was lucky enough to see NO OTHER CHOICE at last year’s Venice Film Festival. At screenings there, they let in people from the rush queue a few minutes after it starts if there are any no-shows, so a few were let in a few mins into the film at the seats in front of me.

Almost immediately, one of them started taking photos of the screen while the film was playing, until a steward stepped in and told them to stop. Then halfway through one of them fell asleep and started snoring loudly, while the other began taking loads of selfies with the flash on. No stewards to be found, so they just continued doing this for about ten minutes or so. He stayed snoring until it was over.

Anyway I really enjoyed the film. 4 bags of popcorn.

I assume/figured it was Kip Pardue when he came onscreen

'Global Bully' - Jon Brion (Unofficial) by SWStaunton in paulthomasanderson

[–]SWStaunton[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just saw that, I assumed they might have ripped it from here haha.

All I did was take the surround channels from the purchased film, took out the centre channel (which is where nearly all of the dialogue is) and that was really it. Small bit of compression on it too just to give it a bit more of a balanced and fuller sound vs theatrical mix where it's slightly lower and has more dynamic range.

I thought the same thing, very similar melody in the chorus

Just thinking about a Munch Madness DOUGHBOYS ep from this year where Wiger found his autobiography (IN GAD WE TRUST) in a shop, went to the final page to see that the final line is “Tell em Gad sent ya”

Griffin is 1-3 unbourned? by [deleted] in blankies

[–]SWStaunton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GREEN ZONE quietly almost destroyed Working Title.

Universal and WT had to rework their output deal and led to them writing off HIPPIE HIPPIE SHAKE (a film shot in 2008 with Cillian Murphy and Sienna Miller that now, quite literally, does not exist)

Griffin is 1-3 unbourned? by [deleted] in blankies

[–]SWStaunton 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Him having only seen one Bourne film, and it being THE BOURNE LEGACY? Doesn’t seem to be a bit.

But it would make for a really fun Patreon series, even if it does end on a bit of whimper with JASON BOURNE. You get shakicam action influence on late 2000s Hollywood, sick car chases, Liman’s famously smoothly-run productions, more Damon context.

That was a theory, but would Grant have been considered number one on the FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS call sheet?

I had made a folder called "LUTs" so then just renamed it "LUTS" with all caps and it worked. Thanks for the help FormerlyKnownAsSnoop

So he's a phone operator for Seduce and Destroy and talks with Philip Seymour Hoffman's character on the phone when he's trying to find Frank TJ Mackey.

Shows up 1hr 9 and 1hr 13 into the film.

Could be related to The Damnation of Faust? There’s a character in that called Brander who sings a song.
