I finally saw Split today. Y'all lied. Samuel L Jackson is in it. Kinda. Only in name. But his presences was felt. Anyway it was a good movie.

Of all the things they were able to do they somehow had the rights to "Satisfaction" to depict her legendary VMA performance. Which, in the movie, looked like they were in a stage and auditorium about as big as your average boardroom. Also, I couldn't tell if everyone looked terrible because it was a Lifetime movie or because they nailed the actual terribleness of the fashions back then.

Criminal Minded posted:This can't possibly be the best way of going about things, can it? The trouble is that the very best Pinball machines just have so much going on it's insane and all of it is actual physical poo poo that does not necessarily work like the other stuff in there. I mean that poo poo literally uses magnets right next to other electronics and has to be put together in such a way that the magnets only gently caress with the ball and in very precise ways along with moving ramps that need to deposit the ball in basically the same place every time along with a maddening amount of springs, levers and just pretty much every other type of electronic imaginable that all have to work to together well enough that the player keeps wanting to play. I think yes that is the only way they can really go about it

If you want to know a little more about pinball then I highly recommend the documentary TILT: The Battle to Save Pinball. The movie itself is on iTunes and is pretty good for what's basically a 60 minute, one man rookie production focusing on the story of how the team at Williams pushed a last-ditch technological gimmick that was pretty cool in order to keep pinball alive, and then Williams immediately pulled the original Konami on 'em. However, I STRONGLY suggest getting the DVD if you're very curious, because it is absolutely loaded with extras, including extended interview footage, footage of rare tables and prototypes, the pinball factory itself... it's nuts. The current little resurgence was still a ways off when this first came out, so it's also a little bit of a time capsule of the decade or so where pinball barely existed.

Alfred P. Pseudonym posted:that sounds extremely dope Seriously out of this gigantic place full of all these fun games that was the thing I was most excited about. It's so loving weird that it even exists. You can also bang on the table before you flip it to startle the characters and get more points. That arcade is a great place to go if you like weird Japanese poo poo. BENGHAZI 2 posted:That trailer looked like some Cyber Seduction level nonsense Make Dickstream great again!

Maybe Sopranos and South Park or one of the other Sterns. Now at there are a few more Sterns and people getting machines in working shape and putting them out there.

Lurdiak posted:I'm having so much trouble making myself finish watching Hannibal season 3. Every character's so weird and off-kilter with shady and shiftable motivations that I don't care what happens to any of them. Show shoulda just stayed a procedural. The wrongest opinion. The procedural stuff was just edgy CSI/Numbers/Law & Order rubbish. The show's descent into immersing itself in pure visuals while presenting its story like someone regaling his fever dream version of the books is what makes the show an unforgettable ride and probably the most strangely organic show run I've ever seen.

I watched a cure for wellness today and was totally blown away. It's not for everyone (i.e. if you're prone to asking why they're still filming when watching a found footage movie, you probably won't like this), but it's an incredible piece of film. It's a rollercoaster ride with beautiful cinematography/a great score, an incredibly earnest political message, and real skill in the way it plays with/synthesizes some well trodden narratives, which is basically all I want from a movie.

So, I've had a job opportunity come up at my old high school, for the director of communications position. It entails writing a biannual magazine, donor drive materials, and basically all outgoing mass communications. I'm totally equipped for the job, but it'd be my first professional gig ever, so kore experienced candidates will probably be in the applicant pool. They want three professional references. I'm going to cheat on one and go with my research advisor from school, but do you folks think it's a good plan to ask my acting supervisor for a rec? I work in a call center currently, I've been there for 7 months now, but there isn't super high turnover and it's in the medical industry so there is a not insignificant amount of industry knowledge you have to build up over time. They consider the first 6 months as "training". It's not like I'm beholden to then or like I'd pass up a shot at a real job for this call center, I'm just wondering if I'm setting myself up for hardship by asking my supervisor for a reference. I'm currently #1 in my department on all metrics, I've never called out to work, etc. She knows I'm a great employee, and I think she'd be supportive of my pursuing better opportunities more suited to my skills, but there is a possibility that she could resent my planning to leave. I don't care about retaliation or anything- if I got fired I wouldn't care all that much, frankly- I'd just hate to get a bad reference from something like that.

Oh hell yeah. One great thing about Shane Black is that he's really good at directing kids, so the fact that there's a little kid in the main cast for a Predator movie isn't even cause for concern.

I hunk multiple seasons of television with at best serviceable writing purely in service of visuals is kind of a misuse of the serial format, but then I couldn't even make it through the first season of Hannibal because that poo poo was awful.
