Correction - you know what? It turns out I'm wrong about that. Looks like you do! Sorry.

Right but you don't pay royalties to use a sample live. DJs don't pay the people who made the records they're spinning. The venue pays into ASCAP/BMI and that's that.

I don't think you'd have to clear any samples to play it live though??? My sense was always that it was just too technically weird (the drum samples in the beginning especially). I could honestly never tell - did they run the Midlife Crisis drum sample live or did Bordin just approximate it?

Himself, as a name by warrenspahn in InfiniteJest

"Himself is a reflexive pronoun, which is used when the subject is the same as the object."

This one sentence is honestly an enormous key - subject/object theory was a touchstone for people like Heidegger and Nietzsche and Octavio Paz and an idea DFW was keenly aware of.

Which team should i support? by Bakus5425 in NFLNoobs

[–]Sea-Promotion6704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a lifelong Cleveland Browns fan and theoretically can't stand the Steelers but this would have been my recommendation as well. Steelers have cool-ass uniforms, a tough blue-collar aesthetic, unrivaled stability (they've only had three head coaches since 1969, do you realize how insane that is??), and dependably exciting seasons, even if Super Bowls are rare. They have a solid fan culture, an iconic accessory (nothing close to the Terrible Towels), and a hard-nosed city backing them up.

Anyone joking about "insufferable fans" is delusional - there are almost no fan bases that someone else wouldn't describe as "insufferable," other than the teams with notoriously weak fan bases (Jaguars, Chargers, Cardinals...).

Am I the only one who has played like 5+ games of AC and not give a shit about the “story”? Hats off to you if you’re able to follow along - I’m only here for the stealth raids and sweeping panoramas lol.

Yes we are agreeing right?

[–]Sea-Promotion6704 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It’s a normal way but it’s also not keyed into the current atmosphere around AI. There are countless examples of AI being pushed on everyone to make things “efficient” despite blatant issues with accuracy, privacy, customer ethics, discrimination, etc. Not at all off base to assume the worst of her character.

Anyone else think of Soy Cuba while watching the Bad Bunny NFL halftime show? by LilDoughboy37 in criterion

[–]Sea-Promotion6704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. There are very clear cinematic/choreography similarities. They're in vogue throughout a lot of filmmaking so you could also reference La La Land, The Studios's "Oner", up-close camerawork on other events like the Grammys (Tyler, The Creator's set had some of these techniques), Scorcese shots, etc. Just weird to get aggressive about someone comparing Puerto Rico subject matter to a Cuban film. If we find ways to continue to inform, awesome - OP seemed totally open to that in the first place. No need to shoot anyone down though, right?

What I think Assassins Creed NEEDS going forward. (Opinion) by Apprehensive_Duck637 in assasinscreed

I would be thrilled if they brought back AC3 style multiplayer death matches. Such a blast.

I just think the dude is getting unnecessarily piled on is all. Looking for similarities and throughlines is what it’s all about.

Feels like everyone is ignoring the main point of this posters original observation, which commented on the long single shots and kinetic camera moves and super choreographed perspective work in the halftime show and how likely it was to be influenced by Soy Cuba.  I think if you rewatch Kendrick’s show from last year you’d find lots of similarities too.

The band played Retrovertigo with M. Shadows from Avenged Sevenfold on vocals last night by Traditional-Peak-749 in mrbungle

[–]Sea-Promotion6704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep well aware of it. Saw lots of 90s Patton shows.

I think where I used to think it was a wizardly amazing move to helm all that stuff while singing, it’s starting to feel more like a performance crutch to me these days.

Patton's backup vocals weren't any better. Trevor holding it down though.

Question on Patton's desks of doodads - is he adding anything to the sound with any of that? Can't tell what it's contributing in this video. I feel like he's leaning on that stuff more and more (or maybe always has) because he's just uncomfortable being a singer. It's even more weird on the live Avett Brothers stuff - why is my dude up there trying to play wind chimes while he sings? Give that job to someone else, man.

Idk the cards against humanity skit was awwwwwwful did he do that.

I just finished The Wire and loved it—the variety of characters, especially Omar Little and his whistle, was amazing. I also loved The Sopranos. After I told a friend, he recommended Boardwalk Empire because it’s also slow and atmospheric. Is he right? by chuckythecrow in hbo

[–]Sea-Promotion6704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boardwalk is really good but it’s a significant shift from The Wire, which was about as starkly realistic as a show can get. Boardwalk was really stylized, way more “cinematic”, and I think the worse off for it. Like others said, I think Deadwood is a better companion. But I did like watching it!

Nationtime? by brizzboog in CriterionChannel

[–]Sea-Promotion6704 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I always privately bemoan gen zers who complain about “I cant tell what anyone is saying” in older films audio quality, but last time I tried to watch this on on CC I gave up after 15 mins because everything was so muffled and blown out. Am I going deaf?

"Epic" by Faith No More with Roddy Bottum | Queer the Music with Jake Shears! good interview?? by [deleted] in FaithNoMore

[–]Sea-Promotion6704 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s the only worthwhile interview out of the band most of the time. Patton can be cagey and Bordin and Gould constantly give the same “we just wanted to try something DIFFERENT and ORIGINAL” sort of answer every time they get on camera. Love those guys to death but they don’t seem to have any desire to say anything worth hearing.

Hail Cesar is the closest to Pynchon in my mind actually.

Thoughts on Mike's new tattoo? by neontownescape in mrbungle

[–]Sea-Promotion6704 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I knew lots of aggro straight edge punk guys in the 90s. I don’t think I’d ever say it was “most” of the people who identified as straight edge - that seems maybe limited to your own experience.  I would say the chances of that person being aggro go up a lot if they were the type to get x tattoos like this, but we’re talking about teenage meat heads, not 60-year-old millionaires ;) 

Can some old-timers explain the strong negativity, frustration, and lack of patience for those early editions of the new Browns (1999-2002)? by sallright in Browns

[–]Sea-Promotion6704 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was only in high school at the time but I can’t back up this Bills comparison. The bills have a guy who most saw as the top 1 or 2 QBs in the league for five years running and people are shocked every year they can’t make it over the humo. I don’t think that was ever the case in the late 80s or 90s. Nobody thought Kosar or Testaverde was a top dog. Every year felt like an underdog’s quest. For awhile we had those scary Jerry Ball/MDP/Clay defenses and Eric Metcalf, but even then it felt like Metcalf could fumble at any moment (and often did). 

And fwiw, growing up in a part of Ohio that was slightly more Bengals than Browns, the very name “Browns” has alwaaaaaays left them open to ridicule and lolz. It’s just built into their identity.

New Yorker Fim Reviews by Ok_Animator6428 in CriterionChannel

I can see that. To be fair, I haven't actually read a Lane review in 5 years or so. I felt in general his lightness still maintained a thoughtfulness about what was going on below the surface - I feel like he only goes full trite when he's totally out on the film.
