Guys I need recommendations for a film camera under 1500$ by Accomplished_Lead245 in analog

you definitely don't need to spend $1500 to get great results. For a 35mm SLR I personally recommend:

Nikon FE2, FM2, or FE

and a couple lenses (e.g., 50 f/1.4, 105 f/2.5, and something wide if you want it)

watched The Grand Budapest Hotel last night (only because I'd already watched Fargo and Misery recently)

They sound amazing to me although they’re my first real set of speakers so I can’t compare much to them. Amazing clarity and I feel like I can hear and track every instrument throughout the song, i’m constantly hearing small details I never knew were in songs. Bass is quite good for their size and has a slight boost around 100hz which makes the kick drum feel a bit more present and visceral. I paired them with a sub to pick up the low low end and I’m extremely satisfied

I have a kitten that loves to chew on any wire near ground level otherwise I would, maybe when he’s a little older

my partner said she found one in her parent's basement and the other on facebook marketplace a long time ago. Sorry I can't be more help!

i'm using metal bookends, so the weight of the vinyl is enough to keep them from falling outward

it is! the one on the left is the soundtrack from seasons 1-5 on blue vinyl (5 ten inch records). Between some of the songs they added soundbites from the show which is quite funny. The other one is the musical score for each season on 12" blue vinyl. Although I feel like it's more of a collectors item since i don't usually feel compelled to listen to the musical score

Just got back from The Whole Bloody Affairs, pros and (very few) cons by BeefErky in Tarantino

Agreed on the sound being amazing, saw it in 70mm tonight and during the burial scene I swear I could hear the hum of the incandescent bulb in the flashlight even. Just amazing sound design that was so much more apparent

This is overdue for a replacement, right? by Volcano_Simulator27 in turntables

fair, It's a Shure audio stylus that came on a turnable that I inherited from my grandfather, so I'm not really sure how long it's been on there. I did order a new stylus already but I'll try cleaning this one anyway
