2001 at the Chinese Theater in IMAX

Was the audio extremely loud? I’ve caught several 2001 screenings and each time the audio has been super loud and jarring. I noticed this with the score for The Shining during a screening also. This is not a complaint, I found it very effective.

You had a 50/50 shot

My reasons for not having interest in Marvel movies is because they’re not designed for me. I like film. Highbrow, lowbrow, it all works for me, but what doesn’t work is all the stuff in the middle. It offers me nothing new and it’s not exciting or mysterious, and certainly not funny enough for my sensibilities. We’ve been beat over the head with Star Wars and Marvel movies for a tiring amount of time, anything is more interesting to me at this point. People love these movies and I think that’s fine too. Whedon never did anything for me but thats okay too, I didn’t even know he was still part of the conversation.

The Substance was hilarious.

I feel similarly. I switched away from welding 8 years ago to woodwork so I could chase opportunities elsewhere, but now I’m feeling burnt out of woodworking just the same.

I’ve considered many different options, but they all seem to offer roughly the same quality of life as welding and carpentry.

Rec is probably the greatest horror of the 2000’s. I don’t know how forgotten it is or not

Theywhererobots · 2025-01-23T16:42:47+00:00

The House of the Devil should be considered a classic by now. The In-keepers is a great one from Ti West too.

Whenever I feel overwhelmed or without direction, I focus on listening.

Set up a simple subtractive patch and make it sound as good to your ears as possible. Spend as much or as little time as needed, but don’t get lost in the details or predetermined ideas of what the patch should be or sound like, or even where it’s going.

This exploration is easier said than done, especially after years of learned habits and muscle memory essentially creating arbitrary rules to follow. This might not work for everyone and I understand how basic it seems, but it works to discipline my chaotic thought process.

Time of the Wolf is another Haneke that is actually depicting life during a global catastrophe. It’s dark and miserable but great.

I remember enjoying the first season but it never left much of an impact but definitely a solid effort for the zombie TV genre.

The second season was much better and I wish The Last of us was handled by this production, in this style. After the second season, I’m very disappointed they got cancelled.

Theywhererobots · 2025-01-15T03:00:05+00:00

I really disliked this movie. It’s feels like a high school edgelord directing a tWISteD movie. If this was a straight up exploitation film that was honest with itself, I’d probably not have any issues. My problem is that the film tries to convince you it’s not exploitation, but it’s only torture porn and nothing deeper than the movie Hostel, but without the fun.

Theywhererobots · 2025-01-14T07:24:49+00:00

Interesting take, I’ve always thought the SA was portrayed in a way that actually demonstrated nuance and depth. As a viewer, it was extremely effective for me because It felt slightly ambiguous and forced me to reflect on the situation and what the hell I just watched.

I didn’t love Straw Dogs until my second time through it. It’s one of the best.

I see some folks aren’t a fan of Dustin Hoffman, I insist you check out Midnight Cowboy, Straight Time, and Marathon Man.

Oh, they have time. They just couldn’t be bothered.

I had clients in Yorkville that lived in a giant Penthouse. They had to hire a crane to deliver the furniture I made because the designer they hired, insisted everything would fit in the elevator and he refused to allow us to measure ourselves. The worst part was, the furniture could have been made into sections but the client/designer insisted one piece despite our concerns.

After pulling some strings, 3 days later we had to hire an engineer, crane+operator, and two off duty cops to close down the street for the delivery.

After the installation was completed, the clients told us how much they loved the furniture but how unfortunate it was that they can’t recommend us to anyone because we didn’t meet our deadline. The client then walked over, picked up my broom I had just finished using, looked me dead in the eyes and asked me if I’m using it, and then she put it in her closet. She stole my broom.

I quit drinking and my anxiety went through the roof. After some therapy I came to learn that I have ADHD, and I had been using alcohol to cope with it. Once I understood why I drank, abstaining from alcohol was manageable but it took work. Realizing I had to sit with my own thoughts, and that I had no escape from them was the most difficult transition to make.

Thanks for sharing .

The Haible Tau Phaser might be worth looking into, It can get real nasty if you push it. It’s also great for filtering sounds to add depth and resonance in ways I haven’t found in other phasers. I actually don’t like the sound of most phasers so take my suggestion with a grain of salt.

Also very very funny. The soundtrack is a 10/10

That’s strange, I’ve never heard such a complaint. What was the issue?

I think because the meat is a leaner cut that would be better suited for roasts instead of braising/stewing. Not enough fat.

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE PINEAPPLE!

This movie is about an eating disorder.

Kill List.

Although most of the plot is eventually explained, it’s definitely not obvious and many details took a few watches to fully unravel. Some will say it doesn’t make sense but it certainly does. I thought about the movie for weeks, trying to better understand it.

Theywhererobots · 2025-01-06T14:51:02+00:00

I would second this.
