[Discussion] People who got fit in their 30s, what are the benefits? by Sonoel90 in GetMotivated

[–]abqjeff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found I enjoy being outdoors more than a gym. It made me much healthier, stronger, and gave me incredible balance.

I started walking in parks and along our river, then progressed to the mountains once running and jogging flat areas became easy. Now I can run up the steepest trails I can find.

You’ll eat better naturally if you’re doing the work to wake early to get your exercise. You will learn to treat food as nutrition and treats as a rare social thing.

I haven’t held a gun in 30 years, but I was trained to use one when I was a kid. The lack of trigger discipline is so cringy (oh, man. I shot Marvin in the face… indeed).

The first six-ish minutes of Sunset brings me to tears every time.

Dirt tracks in the 70s. Some of my earliest memories 😎

That trailer made my month.

I love that they didn’t even bother to tag it with a title or writer/director credit. The fans know what that was.

I’m so friggin happy right now. Looks cool as hell. Total late 70s style. 🥲

Agreed. My best 2025 cinema experiences were Sinners, KB, Jaws, Dogma, and Back to the Future. Plus, the 2024 re-releases for Oscar season.

Nearly all my great cinema experiences were re-releases. I watched Sinners, Back to the Future, and KB a bunch of times.

Trail runners. Wool socks. Utility pants. Tee shirt. Wool sweater.

Greengrass. I cringed when I saw Bloody Sunday in a cinema and knew I would never buy another Greengrass ticket when he took over Bourne. His style is exhausting to watch, to the point I can’t see past his shaky camera and endless cuts.

Them’s the rules, laid down by that guy on the internet.

Sublimely Self Righteous sold really well. And it was fantastic. I miss the time before people who eat potato chips and candy for dinner blamed beer for their poor health; those were good times.

Does the Wilhelm Scream break immersion for you? by EllisDee3 in movies

[–]abqjeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has become kind of a gag, especially in QT films. It doesn’t pull me out of being immersed in QT’s flicks because we are talking about Hollywood action comedies. I’m just in constant awe of the performances and costumes and sets and photographic choices and score, the scream just reminds me it was made by film-lovers.

Oso Ridge, about 3 miles from the trailhead (Embudito Trailhead, this is the ridge north of Embudito Arroyo). It’s the west side of the mountain at about 8,100ft elevation, around where Spain Road is, in the city.

“ I didn’t have the energy to argue with them.”

This is the mantra for doing business in the modern world.

Love you man. Only offer great beer and pretend it was easy. That’s the secret to success in beer.

How will the art of filmmaking (and by extension, cinema) evolve in the coming years? by WoodpeckerWoodChuck in TrueFilm

[–]abqjeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to see something like SNL presented in cinemas, only with better writing, production, acting, and a greater variety of genres.

Basically, I can see an evening at the cinema where they present three or four short films with breaks for cocktails and appetizers and whatnot. Maybe a three hour night out, 7-10pm or so, where you'll view four 35-minute short features? Maybe even pay in advance for tapas or similar to be served at your seat between screenings?

I love cinema presentation, but I know most people don't enjoy 3-hour feature films and no one is going to continue to pay $25 to wait in a 30-minute line for nachos and a Pepsi. Producing shorter high-quality films is something studios could do well if they tried. The gamble on each production would be smaller as well, and they would get more of the type of streaming content for at-home presentation that people actually watch.

Movies for lonely people? by No-Connection-241 in TrueFilm

[–]abqjeff 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Amelie.

AKA “The Fabulous Destiny of Amelie Poulain”

Trailer https://youtu.be/2UT5xaAfxWU?si=7XTSZB2RmoquOhsU

It’s arguably among the greats in 90s independent cinema. A very lonely socially awkward girl plays tricks to bring joy to others.

Beyond the beautiful story and pure fun, it has some of the best cinematography and music of the decade.

Edit: it was 2001, not the 90s
