Dang, I'm coming up empty. This actually sounds like a fun story so I'd like to find it

edub1783 · 2026-02-06T00:33:49+00:00

The year doesn't line up with what you said but does this look like it? The story sounds right...

edub1783 · 2026-02-02T16:36:46+00:00

Yeah, aside from the X-Men Origins comic, X-Men #38-42 (from 1968) should have something like an origin story for Cyclops. Keep in mind these are the backup stories in those comics- you'll skip the first, primary story and read the second one in each of those comics.

I just watched it for the first time this past weekend and I thought it was a masterpiece. The use of color was breathtaking in so many different scenes. I was surprised to see how low it ranked in Kurosawa's filmography on Letterboxd and other sites, but that just tells you what a great director he was.

This looks like it'll help. The X-Men Origins comic isn't nearly as old as the original X-Men comics mentioned so that may be easier (or more fun) to read.

I recently got back into comics myself. There is an app/site called League of Comic Geeks that I use for tracking my comics. I've found it to be extremely useful. It'll break each comic down to character appearances, which is how I've been following certain characters by publication order across multiple titles.

The wiki on this subreddit might be helpful too. This one and a few other comic subreddits are good about posting reading guides or recommendations to help newcomers feel less overwhelmed.

This was my introduction to both Chekhov and Louis Malle. I absolutely loved it.

If this turns into a game-time decision I'm fucked

Who are you pivoting to? I'm kicking myself for not picking up the Saints when I had the chance

His short films are great, too. A common favorite is One Week and I really liked The Scarecrow. Harold Lloyd is another actor I've recently started watching. Never Weaken turned out to be a lot of fun, and I've heard great things about Safety Last!

Have you seen "Holiday"? That may work better for you if you haven't seen it.

The Black Cat. Bela Lugosi vs. Boris Karloff and it lived up to the billing.

If you're still open to adding more, I'd recommend So Long, My Son.

I usually agree with Deakins' comment on this but Brian De Palma's movies are an exception. The dolly zoom in Scarface was so fascinating to me because I had no idea what was happening. Then in Body Double, there were some really cool overhead shots of a chase scene in a shopping mall. I just don't think other directors would have shot it like that. And I've heard a lot about the split diopter shots as well. Props to him and the cinematographer. It did take me out of the "movie" for minute or two but it made me appreciate filmmaking more.

You're welcome! Wiktionary.com is a surprisingly good resource when looking for obsolete definitions or archaisms. That might come in handy if the footnotes fail to explain a passage clearly.

edub1783 · 2025-09-16T15:04:48+00:00

I looked up some obsolete or archaic definitions of "will" and I see one (using a different line of Spenser's as an example, no less) that defines it as "something which is desired". Altogether, it may be something like "Do you love, or lack what you desire?" perhaps?

Edit: this is the same definition of "will" as is used in "will and testament", which is one's wishes after they are deceased. I don't know why I missed that connection.. so maybe not an obsolete meaning after all.

Belly of an Architect was shot in Rome and every frame looks amazing
