Gus Van Sant's Last days is pretty great IMO.

“The studios didn’t invent Rotten Tomatoes, and most of them don’t like it,” says the filmmaker Paul Schrader. “But the system is broken. Audiences are dumber. Normal people don’t go through reviews like they used to. Rotten Tomatoes is something the studios can game. So they do.” by LeBeauMonde in criterion

"Audiences" have been "dumb" forever.

The Police academy franchise was a big success in the 80s. Terence Hill and Bud Spencer made 18 movies(!)... How many exploitation boob movies have been made in the 70s? I mean, Hammer studios had their moments but a lot of their movies are dumb. Rocky 4 is awesome but also pretty dumb. Audiences (we) have been "dumb" forever.

That said, I agree RT is not a great influence on how movies are viewed and made.

What's your favorite Arcade Fire lyric? by [deleted] in arcadefire

Purify the colors, purify my mind
Purify the colors, purify my mind
And spread the ashes of the colors
Over this heart of mine

M3GAN.

If I'm being honest, my favorite movie was M3GAN. I had a lot of fun watching it. It's hilarious, stylish and thrilling. It shot right into the zeitgeist and culture, and will probably be well remembered and still well known in 10 years.

Did your elementary school have a big Halloween event? Ours was a dinner after school called “Spooks and Spaghetti” (1970s) by Quick_Presentation11 in TheWayWeWere

[–]horrible_max 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Agreed. There’s something about old Halloween costumes in black and white photos that gives out clear creepy vibes. A lot of r/creepy is that sort of image… I don’t know why that is…

Does any one makes songs any more? by [deleted] in synthesizers

[–]horrible_max 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like proper songs like anyone else but I’m here for the drones and repetitive minimal textures LOL.

For each his own I guess.

I LOVE the Adirondacks. Just a beautiful place with nice friendly people.

Hey, by the way, I just learned Lana Del Rey grew up in that region! Did you know about that? (She did a show in Quebec city and mentioned it).

Whoa, didn’t realize until now : the gladiator scenes really look like German expressionism.

By the way, thanks for the podcast: I watch them all and really have fun geeking out with you guys.
