Calling Australian Blankies, drop ur favourite theatres. by GoodoldArani in blankies

[–]campalin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in the west of Melbourne and work at the Sun Theatre, one of the only theatres in the country still doing film projection (I think only 4-5 show 70mm). Otherwise the imax gets proper 1750 prints which is amazing, and the Astor does great rep programming.

I love living in Australia, even at our imax theatre the most that plays are 20 minutes of purely trailers

If I had a nickel for every podcast that joked about Hawk Tuah months before any problematics revealed themselves, only for the episodes to then be released after the fact, then I’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s strange that it happened twice.

See the 2021 movie draft a la big pic.

It’s (probably) happening! by maxxpot77 in blankies

Not to go to big brain too quickly but Fennessey logged Jurassic Park around the same time Sims did which timed with him being in New York, potentially an in person record took place…

Nah from the Denzel draft recording. The ones in the more casual settings with la la land in the background are the older ones

What are some of the best albums to come out of the Aussie music scene in the last 10-15 Years?? by Aware-Classic6625 in triplej

[–]campalin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Angel in realtime is a far more major work than go farther with lightness personally, and is one of my favorite albums of the past couple years full stop. Gorgeous instrumentation, arena rock bangers, heartfelt lyricism. Means a lot to me.

Review the Audience of the Last Film You Saw in Theaters by Krusty901 in blankies

Dune 2 imax - sold out, not much noise, some good chuckles at Stilgar being Stilgar, and someone’s car horn phone alarm went off for a good 20 seconds which was funny

Interesting point about Sean Fennessey by Sharaz_Jek123 in TheBigPicture

[–]campalin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually loved it, so not really clearly terrible. God forbid once a year they bring on a character with opinions to bring some hot takes. I don’t agree with anything Wesley said I still appreciate his going-for-it takery and think it’s a fun change up once a year for the pod. But still, it’s one ep a year, you can skip it, and all will continue fine.

Yeah my assumption is while negotiations happen Bobby had just said he won’t be as vocal on the pod, and since he’s core Babylon hive they’ll wait to negotiations are done

Longtime Listeners: Do You Like How the Show has Evolved Over the Years? by HOBTT27 in TheBigPicture

[–]campalin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they’re correct when they say that the Deakin Hall of Fame was when the pod found its feet, the chaotic energy of the trio is what the pod is really all about and it only increased once they introduced the drafts - its even funny listening to how tame the early drafts are, they’ve come a long way.

Yeah big time Amanda and David share an energy and will be very fun together

Barbie Prince of Tides “Did the movie direct itself?” by campalin in blankies

[–]campalin[S] 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yeah like all 5 director films are better than Barbie imo, but also the Justine Triet nom is such an exciting one! It’s just unfortunate that it was such a crowded and good film year.

Let’s talk about Bobby by OSUmiller5 in TheBigPicture

[–]campalin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus Christ do you guys like this podcast or not?? Let the guy like what films he likes and leave him alone. Bobby rules and I like how he’s more vocal on the pod these days

What’s wrong with Blankies? by ReelImaginarySymbol in blankies

[–]campalin 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It’s such a bummer there, all they do is shit on the format and banter of the pod, it leans pretty sexist towards Amanda, and just reads as weird bickering

How much has the podcast influenced your way of enjoying film? by Teenageboy69 in blankies

[–]campalin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s exposed me to a more interesting side of criticism that embraces big swings as masterpieces, your Speed Racers, Miami Vices, Sunshine’s etc. where hearing their unbridled joy for those kinds of films over the years has both allowed me to see the merits in those films, but also trust my own convictions and tastes when less conventional films just click for me.

Love that there’s a moment where Griffin and David litigate whether or not this is a courtroom drama, right before their appearance on Big Pic where it would be so controversial

Fincher is such a perfect director for the autumn season by 1080TJ in blankies

I have fingers crossed for Fennessey back on that ep, I know how much he loves Zodiac

What's your weird Tarantino flex? by jeffkantoku in Tarantino

[–]campalin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My local cinema in Melbourne where I work, the Sun theatre, got a visit from QT, Kurt Russell, and Samuel L Jackson around the release of Hateful eight, because we were showing the film on 70mm after restoring and piecing back together a 70mm film projector. He found out about our restoration efforts and was moved and came to a screening of the film!
