Whoops I thought that was her boyfriend/guy she was shacking up with.

Snak posted:yeah, that's all true, my point is that it's not really increasing biomass at all. "Making Clones/Duplicates" kind of implies that it would be able to, and I was just trying to be clear that its method of replication more or less conserves biomass. Agreed, I wasn't trying to correct you or anything, just piggybacking on what you said. Blair's simulation backs you up, as it takes in a cell and replaces it completely, rather than making a mirror image of it with the original cell still surviving. It's not a copying machine, it's more like it's overwriting the cells it takes over.

A month ago there was a question about examples of diegetic music in movies. I watched Gold with Matthew McConaughey yesterday and it had an interesting example that reminded me of that discussion. The music is The Isley Brothers' "Spill The Wine". It fades in as a non-diegetic song during a scene that takes place outdoors. Then the scene changes to a bar and the song continues playing as the main character narrates. When he stops narrating it suddenly becomes a diegetic song, sounding like it is being played over the bar's speakers. Then there's a scene change to the inside of a car, where the song is playing on the radio. It doesn't fade out, the song is cut off during the next scene change. The transitions of the song between the scenes are so seamless that it is obviously entirely a product of post-production, but it was a pretty neat thing that stood out to me.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo question: why the gently caress did James Bond end up blowing her off at the end of the movie to hang out with The First Lady of the United States? Honestly, she was way more badass and saved his life.

Honestly, she was way more badass and saved his life. He's a writer. Usually means infidelity that skews towards poo poo women. So I have a cinema question, as in, is there a term for this? I'm talking about like in Silence of the Lambs, where you jump between two settings: on one hand you have a fugitive of the police, chilling in his house. Meanwhile you have shots of the cops surrounding -a house- getting ready to make the bust. Maybe the fugitive acts like something is 'off'. At the climax, the cops kick the door in and oops, wrong house! Anticlimactic seems lacking to describe this since it's actually pretty good. I just saw this in the show Narcos and my roommate and I had to think hard to recall that it was Silence of the Lambs that does this too. Also, the indefatigable cinematic masterpiece, Speed. Any others?

Yea that type of scene is almost expected in certain films. It's only lacking because it's been used a lot now. In Silence it was mindblowing. I don't think we ever figured out a name for it, but it was brought up before: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=1&threadid=2871728&perpage=40&pagenumber=331#post448430731

So I'm trying to find the name of an actor and I can't remember what movies I've seen him in. He's one of those "hey, it's that guy!" actors. He usually plays a cop or soldier, clean cut or a bit of stubble, short hair, looks kinda like Patrick Swayze, has a very strong/square jaw. I think he'd be in his late 40's or early 50's now.

Probably in his 40s or 50s now... What age was he in most of his roles? Is he an 80s action movie guy, or...? Oh man I guess it's 2017, so someone who was 40 now would have been 10 in the 80s....
