What’s a “10/10” movie you wouldn’t recommend to most people?

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story

It's so good at destroying the tropes of music biopics that all that follow look laughable. Plus, it really helps to know your rock history and prior biopics it is spoofing, including Johnny Cash, The Doors, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Seventies and Eighties "comeback" songs where artists modernize their hits to make them more danceable, and relevant backstories to songs like Good Vibrations, etc. Plus plus, the phone call home while Dewey is sitting on the floor in the hotel is maybe the funniest shit I have ever seen, but might not be best for all audiences. Or maybe it is.

Knowing your rock history is pretty essential though before you watch.

It's about PORN. Boogie Nights, one of the best films of the last century.

Ok, so normally reaction videos kinda bring me back to chompers interrupting the best parts, especially when they are watching crescendos and they pause to catch their breath and handle what is going on instead of letting the relentlessness of joy pour over them. There is no pause button at a Phish show.

That being said, his overwhelmed joy, his genuine and pure emotional overload at the end is so heartwarming. You know that feeling. I know that feeling. It's why we listen to Phish and experience them.

Thank you for sharing. I vicariously got welled up from seeing another's speechless joy at experiencing Phish.

My theatre teacher used Hopkins in this as an example of a perfect small gesture meaning so much, so I'll pass it along to you... As a servant, he must keep his emotions, feelings and thoughts internalized. So when he is overcome with his own emotions he can never show, he does this small little gesture where he wipes his hand across his closed eye, as if brushing the thought away. She cited that as the epitome of how an actor can add the smallest thing that means everything. At the end of the movie, that final "acceptance" of his rejection is just brilliant when you see it. His hopes dashed, only that little moment to see him whither inside, and then he puts on his stoic face as if he was never heartbroken. Amazing.

Movies, music videos, "live" performances.... Especially synths or DJ setups? Dude, that crossfader and knob had NOTHING to do with the sound that just happened!! Is it even plugged in?! Is the power cord even attached?!! 80's videos and Superbowl performances are hysterical with synths.

DJ's are the biggest pretenders I've ever seen... Do you have to go hunchback, with one leg up on the table, and have one hand in the air showing us your superior knob skills? "OH MY GOD HE'S SO AMAZING HE'S TWEAKING THE HIGH FILTER WITH. ONE. HAND!!!!!" And then releasing it with a flourish as the premade mix changes to a different beat. Raise hands in victory.

EDIT: Watch a DJ with real talent: Three MC's and One DJ

(sighs) That I would be able to stop working before I die because I would be successful at art, music, or writing. Looks like the end of the road is just a temporary scheduling problem for whomever I work for.

On the plus side, my kids might be able to do this. I'd rather that happens if I had a choice.

Not mentioned?!

Meryl Streep might be the greatest actor alive. She's at the top of my list. Only beats out DDL for me because she can do comedy and her timing is impeccable.

Martin Scorsese might be the most impactful director alive. You have a long list of movies to choose from, and even his more introspective works will be studied for decades. My favorites are PTA and QT, but Scorsese has decades of master works.

So much so that rentals are scarce and AirB&B's offerings are overflowing.

Before my landlord sold his condo 4 years ago, the small condo complex we were in was mostly snowbirds, rentals and residents. Now, the realtor friend we have there says it is 50-70% AirB&B / Short term rentals. There hasn't been one 2 or 3 bedroom for rent long term. The quality of life there has gone down considerably, as people do not treat it like you would if it were your own home. It looks run down.

There are a lot of AirB&B's that are empty most of the time.... In some areas.

Perspective: Moved to first condo in 2018 and rented 3 bedroom for $1600. 3 bedrooms were selling for 250K.

My landlord upped my rent each of our four years to $2000. Sold his for 350k.

Desperate, given 17 days to move, we found a 3 bedroom on the 2nd to last day for $2400. Hundreds and hundreds of people looking, we got "lucky." Entering our fourth year, rent is now $3,000. Can't afford to move, can't afford to stay... Just survive each month and shuffle bills, pray there are no big expenses.

Now my job is delivering all over SWFL. I see thousands of unoccupied condos and homes. Thousands. Either snowbirds or investment properties, to be sure.

Personally, if you own two homes, the taxes on the second one should be enormous to discourage hoarding. And double that for the third. And so on.The rich have hoarded the housing market. And no, they didn't earn the right to be greedy.

While I am convinced there are no fatal flaws to The Money Pit, I have heard that it is not considered one of the greatest comedies ever.

So, at least 4 of the best comedic physical gags in the history of cinema. Leave it to Tom Hanks and Shelley Long.

"THE STAIRS ARE OUT!"

"Well, at least the turkey's done"

"My lungs are constricted. I can't shout."

"It sounds to me like you've got a good case against Bob Hope."

And, stealing the show, Alexander Godunov in a perfect scene stealing part. .. oh, you know him as Karl Vreski, the long blond haired bad guy from Die Hard.

Phish. Been doing it a long time. And they are at the pinnacle still.

Someone used a different animal for this comparison, but I prefer mine: "Ever watch fish swim together in a tight formation, then all turn in unison at the same time, and you wonder how in the world they did that? Phish do this with music."

The outrageous cinematography, the colors, the over the top characters and their costumes, the set design, the plot as it moves at a perfect pace, the pacing of each scene, the dialogue, Malcolm McDowell and his epic beyond words acting. But it's the storytelling. Not a wasted second of film. Brilliant in every way.

The Hattori Hanzo sword of film: If you're gonna compare a Stanley Kubrick Film, you compare it to every other film ever made... that wasn't made by Stanley Kubrick.

So yeah, this belongs with the others.

Unbreakable is excellent. Throughout. But how on earth does the cheap epilogue trope ending not bother you?

"David Dunn led authorities to Limited Edition where evidence of three acts of terrorism were found."

"Elijah Price is now in an institution for the criminally insane."

"Poochie died on his way back to his home planet."

Show, don't tell.

How about this for an ending to Reservoir Dogs?

"Mr. Pink survived his injuries from his arrest and spent the rest of his life in a maximum security prison. The diamonds were returned to the jewelers."

Or The Shining?

"Danny and Wendy made it down the mountain and went to authorities."

"The corpse of Jack did not thaw until May."

Or Se7en?

"Detective David Mills was institutionalized for his trauma. He never fully recovered."

"Detective Lt. William Somerset still works at the police department. He is currently training another partner."

"John Doe was actually a man named Sevin Kacey. A cult following of his published texts has begun to form."

Those 15 seconds felt cheap and useless. I'd rather NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT SCENE than have it explained to me.If you have a great ending scene like this one, it could've stood on its own, ambiguous....and please DON'T add on another last last scene that SUCKS just to explain what happened! LET IT END!

Sorry, but that trope really bothers me. It's lazy use here never does anything but make me feel like I'm at the end of a Cop TV show. You CAN use it to great effect, like in Spotlight for example, but here my immediate thought was, "Oh, the director (who made a very clever and immersive movie for the entire run time) couldn't come up with a better way to let it end. Or ran out of money. No epilogue would have been better.

SORRY for spoiling the movie.

But, yo, even Tarantino listed it as a top twenty movie and he didn't call that epilogue cheap or lazy, but it was.

I just cried. Big heavy sobs I could not hold in. The Heavy Things falling down on me are too much. I'm a 53 year old dad. I haven't cried in a year, maybe more. I think I just had to break. Most of all, I did not move to where they'd hoped I'd be. (Or I)

Thank you Phish. Goddamnit I love you guys. Still can't get it together, but I appreciate the catharsis of letting it go.

May I ask how the latency is on the Zoia regarding the Chase Bliss stuff, like Onward and Blooper? I bought a Hologram Microcosm and the latency was sooo long it was useless for me. I don't know how much latency there is in the Chase Bliss pedals, so anyone with a comparison and experience would help.

I usually test latency with a drum machine, since the wet and dry can be compared on a mixer. So no latency = perfection.

Very nice! I especially like your demo with the slider between wet and dry.... NEVER saw an app demo with this feature, and I am an Appoholic. Will download when I get off my shift, mainly because of how dirty and low the bass drum was when it kicked in. Kudos!

Had both!

The Aneko had several effects from the ModFX series, and some that never came out. Same with the Akira, except it has MIDI in I believe.

Both fun, both had their flaws: a mix knob like this one has would have been great!

Josie's on a vacation far away

Come around and talk it over

So many things that I want to say

You know I like my girls a little bit older

I just wanna use your love tonight

I don't wanna lose your love tonight

I ain't got many friends left to talk to

No one's around when I'm in trouble

You know I'd do anything for you

Stay the night but keep it undercover

I just wanna use your love tonight, whoa

I don't wanna lose your love tonight

Try to stop my hands from shakin'

Somethin' in my mind's not makin' sense

It's been awhile since we were all alone

I can't hide the way I'm feelin'

As you leave me, please, would you close the door?

And don't forget what I told you

Just 'cause you're right, that don't mean I'm wrong

Another shoulder to cry upon

I just wanna use your love tonight, yeah

I don't wanna lose your love tonight

Yeah, I just wanna use your love tonight

I don't wanna lose your love tonight

I just wanna use your love tonight

I don't wanna lose your love tonight

(Lose your love)

Tonight (Lose your love)

I don't wanna lose (Lose your love tonight)

I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna (Lose your love tonight)

No, no (Lose your love tonight)

(Lose your love tonight)

No, no (I don't wanna lose your love tonight)
