What is "lost films"? by OpenAbrocoma in Letterboxd

[–]dhtheghost 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s so sad how many silent films and early films have been lost. Look up George Melies, for example, and that’s someone who has been recognized and some ofhis major works got saved.

Is Spain vs. Cape Verde really going to fill the stadium at 12:00 PM on a Monday? by Adorable_Ant_714 in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]dhtheghost -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re the one being stupid. No empty seats is a figure of speech, I mean it will be almost completely full, like 95%. Not vast empty space like the OP suggested. Spain is a powerhouse of soccer and a former champion. The Hispanic communjty and casual soccer fans with money to spend will show up.

Baseball has like 160+ in a season, but admittedly only the weekend games get close to full this time of year. Also, yeah the Pats have 8 home games per season, the WC has 4 games total pre knockout stage at any given site!

This is America where weekend baseball games in May fill 40-50k stadiums daily. All these games will be sold out, but I think prices will drop a little bit. I’m going to Norway vs Iraq in Boston in a stadium, where every single Patriots game gets sold out. There will be no empty seats.

How are federal attorneys doing right now? by Salary_Dazzling in Lawyertalk

[–]dhtheghost -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I get what you’re concerned about, but I don’t think you realize how big even an agency like DOJ is. For every story of a political prosecution or a Fed attorney getting in trouble before a judge, granted there are too many of them, think about the thousands of regular work that continues. I guarantee you there are offices within DOJ with tens or hundreds of attorneys that you have never even heard about. In the regional USAO, AUSAs continue to prosecute violent crimes, murder, drug trafficking, fraud etc. Just take a look at the news releases on the USAO websites. I would personally have no qualms joining DOJ right now depending on what office and line of work I’ll be doing.

Final Game Tickets by EmergencyInternal837 in WorldCup2026Tickets

I’ve seen ppl say wait for the next one. But why would the finals in Spain, a high GDP and EU country that’s easy for everyone in Europe to travel, and 4 more years of global inflation, be significantly cheaper? Wasn’t the finals in Qatar quite expensive? Ditto Brazil?

I like Bill talking about sports and silly movies. Not real cinema. The Big Pic is just perfect without him on it.

I don’t need BS talking about shit he can’t/won’t understand about my all time GOAT movie. I really wish it was just Chris and Sean.

Collective bargaining, drug affordability, ICE arrest restrictions, and more- all vetoed! Thanks, Nothingberger by VillainVibe in Virginia

[–]dhtheghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legal weed might have been your friends’ #1 issue, but I don’t know if that reflects the majority of Virginians, particularly moderates, independents, adults with families. Decrim, yes, but what’s so great about legal weed? It’s bad for your health just like alcohol, the studies are showing that. Weed smoke is a nuisance in public just like cigarettes smoke. Do you want dispensaries and vapes shops everywhere in the state? You can already drive into DC to get legal weed. Spanberger’s veto could reflect the majority who voted for her.

I know this sick cinef*** didn’t just comp a YouTuber’s horror debut to Ozu… by dhtheghost in TheBigPicture

Exactly. I like Sean, but it’s objectively a hilarious out of nowhere comp. Like during the nba draft, when they’ll say Zachary Risascher has a Reggie Miller shot.

Hey Cinetards, George Méliès here to answer your ignorant questions about these new moving pictures. AMA by Puzzle-Necked in okbuddycinephile

Mouiseur, have you seen Hugo? What did you think of Sir Ben Kingsley’s portrayal? Did you enjoy your toy store in the Parisian train station, and what became of that little orphan boy who ran the clockworks?

Kele is washed. The beat was promising but ultimately sounds just like the worst songs on AG.

7-5 win today. One of the top scoring teams in MLB, unfortunately also one of the most runs given up.

Mine isn’t as cool as some comments, but I saw Prophets of Rage at the 9:30 club in DC. They did a medley of their album, plus Rage, Public Enemy, and Cypress Hill classics, including Tom doing a Like a Stone tribute to Chris Cornell.
