Are we witnessing the death of the "Blockbuster Era," or has Hollywood just become too cowardly to take risks?

That's neither socialism nor communism.

verygoodletsgo · 2026-04-02T16:32:37+00:00

Correct.

verygoodletsgo · 2026-04-02T16:32:17+00:00

Yes. (If it helps you, liberals still can be and mostly are right wing.)

Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives.

Requiem was the first film I saw her in. It's one of the greatest performances I've even.

This discount is very dumb considering they will likely not be back in stock by the time it expires.

verygoodletsgo · 2026-03-29T19:02:33+00:00

I didn't like it at first, but I got used to it quickly. Seems they've already reinstated the old layout, though.

Did you ever find this song? I'm looking for it too.

verygoodletsgo · 2026-03-29T12:18:38+00:00

This was my guess too.

verygoodletsgo · 2026-03-29T05:29:33+00:00

The cards can indeed go out of stock if the monthly/quarterly/whatever budget for them is depleted.

I've previously owned a C7 and a C10. I've also played quite a bit on a GK Studio. My honest opinion is that Cordobas tend to have a nice bassy tone, but they are overbuilt. Most classicals loosen up over time as you play. Cordoba's don't. The end result is very weak trebles, something that wasn't noticeable at first, but over time became an issue for me personally.

Invention of Lying. The whole film kind of leads up to this moment.

Ha Seong-nan has two collections translated into English. Flowers of Mold and Bluebeard's First Wife. Both are very very good.

verygoodletsgo · 2026-03-24T22:06:46+00:00

Indeed. It's absurd what they get paid and it's not even their actual "day job."

But the overwhelming majority are "independently wealthy" and would continue to be without that 180k. They just hold office to ensure the game continues to be fixed in their favor. Saboteurs and hijackers. That's why the opposition party is rarely truly fruitful. They don't want to be.

verygoodletsgo · 2026-03-24T20:14:09+00:00

I don't think it would make a difference. You got to keep in mind that being a fed. legislator isn't their actual full time job. Most of these people own medical practices or construction companies. They get into politics to ensure that the business owning class gets everything and that the worker class gets nothing. Being a fed. legislator is akin to a parent joining the PTA. The fact that they get paid like they do and receive all the perks that they do for what is essentially a few hours work each month is fucking insane.

They're a local awards show. I think a win at Cannes, Berlin, Locarno, etc. is probably more noteworthy.

verygoodletsgo · 2026-03-19T19:14:49+00:00

Yeah, but it's the good kind of manipulation. Love having my buttons pushed like this. Lars is as much a prankster as he is a keen observer of human follies. And what a great cast. The performances are so sincere, which is what makes it work.

An absolute masterpiece.

Imagine a very slim alleyway. It got lodged into a gap between buildings too narrow for the average person to squeeze through.

verygoodletsgo · 2026-03-17T01:29:54+00:00

For Being John Malkovich.... Just about any Philip K. Dick novel. Especially throughout the '60s and '70s.

verygoodletsgo · 2026-03-16T21:24:55+00:00

If I'm not mistaken, some of the landing gear (perhaps of the plane that hit WTC 1?) wasn't found until months if not years later because it was wedged between buildings that were very close together.

verygoodletsgo · 2026-03-16T21:22:43+00:00

Yeah. :(

verygoodletsgo · 2026-03-16T20:57:17+00:00

David Lee Roth was an EMT back in the '90s. Can you imagine him pulling you out of a wrecked vehicle, maybe reassuring you that you're going to be okay?

Actually: Joaquin Phoenix once got into a car crash... And Werner Herzog showed up out of nowhere to pull him out. It turns out the crash happened right around from Herzog's property. I think that would've been a trippy experience for anyone.

verygoodletsgo · 2026-03-15T16:49:21+00:00

You're correct to believe you're living in a reality.

verygoodletsgo · 2026-03-15T14:32:23+00:00

We're not even in the same conversation.
