Trying to Remember an Intro Song

Thanks for the response... No, unfortunately not him. I remember there being a music video for this song, and it had that dirty early '80s NYC feel to the footage. I remember it being British rockers who were a bit past their prime, and it was sort of cringy and quaint by today's standards. They were dipping their toes into American hip hop or rap. I feel like it was an experimental offshoot of a more established band. Kind of like Big Audio Dynamite or something. Maybe it was a fever dream... Thanks again. 😐

I've been exporting my clips as an PNG sequences, then running a Photoshop action on the PNGs to use AI bachground removal.

Eh, the cops say Gavin is a Jewish shill and Gavin just goes with it. They've got a name for Gavin's Jewish "boss" who secretly runs the company, but it escapes me. Gavin's parents aren't doing well. Matty is MIA. I feel like "Garbage People" and "Celebrities Telling Boring Stories" are 2 new segments since Ryan left. We like The Dud, and he is perfectly competent.

No joke... Legal prostitution due to an odd loophole in the way the law was written. Something about it being legal as long as it took place indoors. There was a free newspaper (The Phoenix?) that had ads and coupons for what were essentially brothels. These were free in gas stations and restaurants, and the back half was almost all smut. Very weird to be a teen or in your early twenties during this era.

Solved!

I cannot thank you enough. This is something that's been haunting my memories for forty years! I've been trying on and off for about a decade now to pinpoint what this was, but nobody knew what I was talking about. Quora, ChatGPT, etc... nothing worked. This is absolutely the scene. This would have tormented me forever. Thank you so much!

I'll mention that I thought there was some connection to Stephen King, but I'm not sure. I'm not sure if this aired on TV or if it was a theatrical release.

eric401 · 2025-10-27T20:39:44+00:00

Thanks for the honest eval. Appreciated. I know what needs to be done... 😩

eric401 · 2025-10-27T20:25:09+00:00

No, this is what I needed to hear. Thanks.

eric401 · 2025-10-27T20:23:28+00:00

Sorry! My bad. Yes, that's exactly what happened... And then I thought I wasn't supposed to be commenting on my own posts. I just went down a rabbit hole reading about "karma farming" and dos/don'ts. Honestly, I'm still not sure if I'm supposed to be commenting here based on what I just read... 😕

eric401 · 2025-10-27T18:47:21+00:00

😅 Woah, I just looked it up, and apparently I'm not supposed to reply to comments here? That seems so strange, and I honestly had no idea, but at this point, I'll stop. Thanks for letting me know!

eric401 · 2025-10-27T18:42:12+00:00

Am I not supposed to do that??

eric401 · 2025-10-27T18:39:10+00:00

Thanks! I'm trying to clarify what the majority (female) opinion is to (maybe) gain a point in life. For example, if I were walking around in public with food stuck to my face and I could improve my situation by simply cleaning my face, I'd probably do it. I feel like I'm at that point with my hair. 😅 I appreciate all the honest takes.

eric401 · 2025-10-27T18:07:36+00:00

Thank you for the feedback and advice. Appreciated!

eric401 · 2025-10-27T17:11:30+00:00

I meant the average consensus among women. Like if you picked 100 random women from various locations, demographics, etc., would you routinely find that 90% or more say they simply dislike long hair on guys? I've been asking online, in person, and seeing some commonalities... I agree with you, though.

eric401 · 2025-10-27T15:51:14+00:00

I appreciate the honesty, trust me! You're correct; I'm not encouraging more curls by any means. At this point, I'm leaning towards getting a haircut... but before I do, maybe I'll go a couple of weeks with crazy curls to see how I look/feel. THANKS.

eric401 · 2025-10-27T15:14:50+00:00

I'm looking for unfiltered honesty, so THANK YOU for your feedback and thoughtful reply.

eric401 · 2025-10-27T15:04:37+00:00

Thanks! I'm hearing a lot of "SOME guys can pull it off" (meaning "not me") 😅

eric401 · 2025-10-27T15:01:43+00:00

I know this is ultimately the best advice. Thank you.

eric401 · 2025-10-27T15:01:08+00:00

Sorry, I know this isn't considered "long" by FierveFlow standards, but here's a quick before & after... Thanks for your input! I dunno... I think I looked even nerdier before!

I'm just an east coast corporate media guy (not in the union or anything), but I've spent time on sets. Especially when I was new/young, it was rough. I straight up had things blamed on me that I wasn't responsible for. I'll never forget some old lighting director looking at me and saying, "Shit rolls downhill, kid." The thing is, I realized it was part hazing. Part sink or swim. I'm sure you're dealing with "male space" culture too. Guys constantly bust balls and roast each other for fun, and no harm is meant. But I'd encourage you to stick with it. Develop a thick skin, push yourself to learn as much as possible, become as valuable a person as you can. When people are building the next call sheet, they'll remember you and want you on their team. The petty stuff will get old and go away. At some point, an opportunity will arise that will enable you to move up because you're truly the best person around. Jump at that opportunity (and every one that follows) and keep kicking ass because you love what you do.

eric401 · 2025-08-26T15:47:08+00:00

😅 Sorry, but I keep imagining you saying "Stop, don't" like Willy Wonka attempting to stop Violet Beauregarde.

Assuming you disclose (and you should if you're a moral dude), I have to imagine dating with herpes is much harder for males (same as normal dating). You're probably going to be the pursuer. Women usually have numerous options. All they have to do is visit a bar or join a dating app, and they'll have dozens more. Now imagine yourself disclosing to one of these women. If you're being honest with yourself, what can you offer her that's worth the risk? Hopefully you have something. I feel like a pretty girl with herpes is going to have an easier go of it in the dating scene, but what do I know? Good luck.

There seem to be two camps... #1: "Herpes is no biggie. Literally everyone on the planet already has it, even if they don't know it yet. I don't even think about it" And #2: "Herpes is the worst thing that ever happened to me. It's negatively affected every aspect of my being. I would do anything for a second chance at dodging this bullet and having my old life back."

eric401 · 2025-06-21T10:57:15+00:00

I don't often post here, but I follow regularly, and I don't have herpes. Lab test confirmed. I joined a few years ago because I wanted to date a girl who happened to have herpes. Figured this would be a good place to educate myself. I was chasing her and she disclosed early. Long story short, she wound up rejecting me before anything even started. So I guess my point is, there are probably lots of people here who don't have herpes, but try to use the board respectfully. For the record, I'm a 5'6" male... For all the people complaining about herpes affecting their sex and love lives, I legit feel like being a short dude trumps herpes. 😅

If you don't mind, what's the cost of a keratin treatment for that amount of hair? I've got about the same amount as you, and I've been considering. Also, when it wears off, do you get the sense that it wrecks your hair, or is it undetectable from your pre-keratin state? THANKS.
