I was gonna watch my first Tati film today, but fellow poster and personal friend of mine, Bongo Bill, told me about Shanghai Joe, and it's on Amazon Prime. So I'm watching that instead.

That is really gross. I wanted to say "that may be the grossest thing ive ever seen" but a) that might not be true, and b) that always gets interpreted as a challenge and I didn't want people to post even grosser poo poo. So instead I over explained to ge the worst of both worlds.

Barcades are a: awesome and b: a great way to introduce people to pinball. Also, the problem with "spaghetti through hot dog" dishes is the spaghetti is insulated within the hot dog, so you either get really limp spaghetti or crunchy hot dog filling. It's a lose-lose.

Help me out goons. Casting went today and torn between two leads for the roles it is between Pakistani and Mexican. Which do you think would work better in terms of the current political context. Its both the wall and Muslim ban (sounds gross even typing that. Any help would be awesome. Could also link the demo reels if you want.

Do the film twice with both dudes. Hopefully, you can see those. We are keeping nationality open as we want to cast the best actors possible, and the current plight of the refugees and immigrant crisis is sadly affecting way too many countries. But, I am not racist towards either  E: Gone. Vegetable made a good point. Death By The Blues fucked around with this message at 08:52 on Feb 5, 2017 |

But yea, probably better I don't post it. Leaning more towards the Mexican actor, he really has something that I cannot describe, but would bring something unique to the role.

CPL593H posted:I remember when I saw the first movie the very first thing my friend said to me after it ended was "What if someone played the tape in Times Square or something?". I've always thought about that idea. The 'rules' in The Ring are similar to those in It Follows, in that they are invented and applied retroactively to make sense of what happened. One crucial detail that people miss is that the 'haunted videotape' urban legend predates the creation of the actual tape. So it's implicit that Samara based her curse on the legend or - even more plausibly - that there is no connection at all. Naomi Watts is the only person in the film to receive a 'seven days' phone call, and it doesn't even totally match the original story. Watts hears what she expects to hear. What's tricky with The Ring is that all the characters, including Samara, are using these spooky images to make sense of something worse. The horror of the film is in the idea that the universe itself is evil, in ways that can't be symbolized. People can only express it in terms of 'curses' and 'omens' or whatever. Even Samara's artworks are nothing more than the physical manifestations of the dreams she'd be having if she were able to sleep - not intentional creations. That's the true reason why "it won't stop": 'it' is something outside anyone's control. Basic bad poo poo like 'mortality', or 'divorce'. "Why do bad things happen to good people?" The ritual of passing on the tape simply corresponds best to existence in this evil universe. It has an explanatory power that the 'happy ending' lacks. What I'm getting at here is that, despite all the jokes about Kaiju Samara climbing out of a jumbotron, playing the tape in Times Square wouldn't exactly do anything.

See, now I'm just thinking of the scene in Gremlins 2 where the control room jockeys make fun of Billy and the inane rules you have to follow for keeping a Mogwai. Then having a Gremlin bust out of the control panel and gore a technician.

Skwirl posted:Why isn't it called Rotterdam, Ik Houd Van Jou (I mean aside from the obvious reason than no one outside the Netherlands would have a clue about how to pronounce it)? I think you answered your own question. The Netherlands is basically fully bilingual anyway, and Rotterdam has 174 nationalities and less than 50% native Dutch population so English is very widely used. I had some excellent Indonesian food last night. The closing film was 20th Century Women, which was just wonderful. So good. I really love Mike Mills; I thought Beginners was great but I probably enjoyed this more. I'm going to urge my wife to watch it (not that she'll need much encouragement, as she loved Beginners too) and I think I'll rewatch it with her. I get the criticism of Hidden Figures, and it pulled some of its punches, but I quite liked it anyway.
