Got served up a Who cover by a youth choir, and it was so said. Technically very proficient, but there was no life in the playing. youtu.be/iuDH2LMIlpE?si=jJdZN0DkKggj7oKR
This helped me figure out that THAT is what happened with the 1997 special editions. They cleaned it up TOO much, nd made it *really* look like a late 1970s movie (derogatory)
I saw a video the other day, two film restorers were talking about how you don't want to OVER restore something. The example was given that if you do a 4k scan of Caligari you can see the nails in the sets

My new commute means I haven't gotten gas since Mid January. My current range is 40 miles, so hopefully I can get through the rest of the week before finally giving in and getting gas.
When I was younger I didn't like The Rolling Stones. I was a teen and already had IDEAS about what I liked and didn't. FFWD a few decades; I've broadened my horizons musically, reevaluated some things, and I've come to realize I *REALLY* don't like The Rolling Stones.

You'd think people are drama free, apparently not!
you donât get any points for figuring out Substack is a scam in 2026. literally the first thing I heard about the platform, ever, was that it was hardwired to direct traffic and funding to far right sources. this was known from the jump, and if a shrimp like me knew that, no one else has any excuse.
I went through the catalog and it's like Film Nerd's First Cinema. It's all very surface level and overly litigated stuff. IDK, I guess it's like the Blues Brothers, a gateway to better stuff, but so many people just stop there.
I subscribed to the Criterion Channel to watch the Mr. Vampire movies legally, forgot about it, then last night looked to see what else I wanted watch on there, and it was just the Mr. Vampire series
So we have two of our three weekend people leaving by next Saturday. Would it be too petty to turn down getting asked if I want to work Saturday(s) because the company suppressed our wages for 20 years, so I don't want to cost them more money by working overtime?
The one tweet that stays with me through the years was Ben replying to some "We're old" post I did by saying "Look, we all hate the linear progression of time"
