"Law & order" has always been code for putting [whatever marginalized group you don't like] in jail.

Named in honor of Biff Yeager, I presume. His mail-in campaign finally paid off.

The city should fine the fuck out of NBCUniversal for the full cost of replacing those trees. Those are not healthy trees.

I would advocate for the return of intermissions! Theater chains would love it, because it would mean more concessions.

I went to Dead Reckoning the other day and afterward it occurred to me why I don't go to movies very often anymore. With advertisements and travel time both ways, it worked out to a 4 hour commitment. I have kids. I don't often have that kind of time.

The show is its own thing. It was always going to need to be radically different to work on the screen. That's what adaptation means.

Wow, that is a lot of... stuff I don't understand. Very cool though. Neat to have it all in one place.

r/the_donald or anything like it. Kindly fuck off with all of that shit.

 

Highly recommended podcast for anyone who loves film scores or music in general. The host is a sound designer & editor for Skywalker Sound, has done extensive sound work for Lucasfilm and Lucasarts games, and is also a prolific voice actor appearing in dozens of animated series and video games. He brings his sonic expertise to bear in analyzing the great scores of cinema and other media, from Jaws to Tron to Super Mario Bros. & Zelda. It's an incredibly well-produced show that sounds great and will always leave you feeling enriched and entertained.

In these two latest episodes, he takes a great deep dive into the music of Star Trek, the original series. It's a detailed look at an underappreciated aspect of the franchise, with archive interviews from people like Nimoy and Roddenberry, many many sound clips, and lots of insightful commentary.

One fun tidbit from this episode: Alexander Courage himself made the sound of the Enterprise whooshing past during the opening credits.

The bridge scene is even better when you realize the paladin is a DM-insert NPC, there to explain the overcomplicated puzzles, steer the plot, and keep the incompetent party from getting killed. Once they're back on track with what the DM has prepped, he says his farewell and disappears from the story.

I imagine she will take a few episodes to figure it out. This definitely seems like a thread that hasn't spooled all the way out yet.

Thanks for providing the "easy" version of the link that lets me subscribe without having to paste it into my instance search field! It's super convenient.

 

Can't stand to run myself, but I love a good running scene in a movie, and I can't think of anyone who has more of them than Tom Cruise -- except for Buster Keaton. He's got such an incredible clumsy grace to him, if that makes any sense. Who's your favorite film runner or favorite running scene?
