I mean, there might be some problems with that in the women's liberation sense, but it's pretty funny to me. He wrote a few sexploitation films in the 70s so it lines up. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065466/

When I've been on sessions with 2 drummers they were recorded with different setups. It seems like the only way. Side by side with the same overheads would be fruitless. I'd share a stereo room mic. Mono Overheads. Never worry about the degrees. That won't matter. View it all as 'stereo' and no version will pick up much more than the rest. And XY shouldn't go beyond 90ø anyway.

On the first album with that setup, A Senile Animal, they definitely did one drummer more close-miced and one more roomy although I'm not sure the specific techniques. On recording nerd chat, I've always wanted to try Blumlein M/S style stereo micing.

He's literally The One. The single remainder left over that keeps the equation from being perfectly balanced.

I'm sure there was some collateral deaths when they blew up that lobby. And when the helicopter crashed. In The Matrix Reloaded you can bet a lot of innocent people died during the highway chase. That said, that was the best action scene in the movie.

Stick millions of humans into a “simulation” where they work in endless cubicles, debugging your glitchy “Programs”/NPCs, which they think is a fuckin’ video game or Java program or some poo poo. >90% of humanity works white collar debugging jobs. You want to be a philosophy major? They flush you and clone a new programmer. Ticket: ghosts keep going immaterial, then floating into the sun and getting stuck Fix: turn off their explosion immunity so they reset to spawn locations if they get blown up

Pilchenstein posted:The Matrix is a film entirely about trans people. Knowing what we know now, it's amazing how much Smith sinks his teeth into "Mister Anderson" when he constantly uses Neo's assigned name instead of the one he has chosen for his new life. A related subtle thing: Neo's first name is spoken in the movie, but most people (myself included) can't remember it because Smith always uses a gendered title to refer to him. Then the climax of the big fight at the end counters with "my name is Neo" right before he jumps off the tracks.

Haha, I was struggling to remember what it was, and then (after I looked it up, even IMDB lists him as 'Neo'), I saw that it was Thomas or Tom, and then remembered finding it funny that he shared the same name with Beavis and Butthead's boomer neighbour, who was an early version of Hank Hill. "Hwhackin' in m'tool shed"

I guess it's not subtle if you know Biblical things, but "Thomas" is a significant name because that was the apostle that doubted Jesus returned from the dead until he examined Christ's wounds in person. Similar to Neo not believing the Matrix is real until he sees it himself. And "Anderson" translating to "son of man," setting Neo up as the savior of The Matrix.

No joke, when the Wachoskis came out as trans it made the Matrix films retroactively 100 times better. I was really ignorant of a lot of things in 99, but Switch is now so obviously non-binary. Their name is Switch for fucks sake.

It's being made by the Wachowskis and trans issues are way more prominent today than they were in 1999. If anything, it's going to be even more obvious and we'll have to endure hundreds of manchildren screaming "WHY COULDN'T IT JUST BE A SIMPLE ACTION MOVIE LIKE THE ORIGINAL"

And I've seen no indications or reports that the Wachowski's are desperate to make this movie. They've waited this long, why even do it if it's gonna be a cookie-cutter action movie that's focused-grouped to hell and back like every other blockbuster? I think the fact that they've even agreed to do it means they're confident they can have enough creative control use the ideas they want to use.

I can see where people are coming from and I get the appeal though I'm not sure I buy it as fully intentional. Even as an out trans person I'd hate for all my creative endeavors to be seen as a struggle with Gender identity as if I had no other facet to my identity, especially one written at a time when I was still making a concentrated effort to remain closeted. However I can see where its empowering to some and its a well supported argument. RagnarokAngel has a new favorite as of 23:08 on Nov 8, 2019 |

The only downside to the newer John Wick movies is it seems like the action is kinda... slowed down a bit. If you watch the first movie he basically just rolls up and fucks up anyone in his way. In the second it's like the guys he's fighting are waiting just a bit before they run in, and in the third it's really obvious that they are just jumping him one at a time. I get wanting to show off a bunch of gun-fu but honestly, when you have people hesitating in a fight it just looks weird. Best was the scene in the armory at the beginning. Worst was the shootout with the dogs in the market. The former was really sold well, the latter was just "Hey, let's make everyone try to look cool".

Comrade Blyatlov posted:Welp guess I know what I'm watching tonight! Yeah, that scene was definitely choreographed like a dance, it’s fantastic. They picked a great song to do that with, too. What makes the John Wick movies work is that Reeves is an accomplished martial artist and shooter, so they don’t have to use stunt doubles for him in fights. It’s why they can do the long shots and frees up the angles they can shoot since they aren’t trying to hide faces.

I didn’t mind the slower nature of the fights as much when I rewatched it back to back with John Wick 1 and 2. It kind of sells the fact that Wick is having a Long loving Day.

Yea, he's had a hell of a week. Still, the bad guy's just kinda hesitating before doing anything is just... I dunno. It bugs me. It's like they hurry up to get in position so John can kill em. Gives it a cannon fodder feel, I guess. Still love the movies though. Hoping in the new matrix we get Agent Smith in the opening going "Mr. Anderson! Welcome! I see you've finally escaped the Wick scenario."
