Movie/film suggestions.


 

While this is of course a forum for the discussion of all things audio/hi-fi and music, pretty much all of us are also lovers of movies, the enjoyment of which is effected by the reproduction of the sound they contain (with the exception of silent movies wink).

I've been focused on David Lynch movies since his death, but with current events so much a part of our lives at the moment, I plan on re-watching a movie I’ve seen only once, and years ago. That movie is:

The Madness Of King George. Apropos, no?

3 of my comments were just removed. 

One of them was

I will watch the Elephant and the American Dreamer. I also should add Albino Alligator to the Matt Dillon list. Irresistible in my opinion.

WHY????????????? WHY WAS IT REMOVED????????????????????????

is someone so mentally sick and debilitated that having this removed make them feel less pain from their failed pathetic life?

The other two comments were equally on topic for the discussion, polite, and harmless. Perhaps too harmless.

I have had it with the moderation. (They/Tammy ignored my last 3 emails.)

This is the hill worth dying on as there are so many lowlife despicable acts here that ruin our civilized conversations. I don’t normally swear but I would for sure now.

 

 In other words, I think that the snowflakes report and the mods delete

I argued this 100s of times here. After I contact the mods about why my comment was deleted (at this point it's probably 30+ times) I receive a response that I violated A rule. I try to clarify that said rule is not listed anywhere and then the response is: someone was offended by it. And 29 out of 30 times, even though my comment couldn't offend a soul, it's still not restored. So, yes, the mods play a role in this too. 

the game began @immatthewj , they are removing comments that mention removing comments and the painful and disruptive moderation. 

@nonoise Baldwin pulled the trigger. HE killed a person. The End. 

Everything else is how and how unfortunate. I have never in my life picked up a gun, pointed it at a person and pulled the trigger. 

Baldwin bears responsibility for taking a life 100%. He pulled the trigger. There was zero reason for him to play with a gun. He is not 5 years old. 

For the record, if I had done what he had, I would have plead guilty. My life would be hell anyway in or outside prison. 

and for sure I acknowledge that people who grew up around guns feel differently, I don't know what they do

@nonoise agree to disagree. I would not point a functioning gun at a person. Point a freaking ruler or water bottle. No one has died from that. Build non-functioning pistols, jam them, whatever it takes. 

To put it in context, how would you value eliminating all risks if it was the mother of your child? Wouldn't you want all precautions taken? When things CAN go wrong they WILL. Humans make mistakes. That's why we create safety protocols.

@nonoise right, I would just repeat myself. But I would like to point out you started a sentence with "All it took was "

I don't want to be on an airplane or in a movie set with guns ending in the tragedy where "All it took was ". It should take many many things to go wrong and massively unlikely events to happen all at once. Such as: gun can't go off, TWO people checking, etc. etc. 

yes, he was. He can play the scumbag and the nice guy in one person like very few. 

Also: Wild Things. Something was off in that movie. It was a great script, great casting, enjoyable pace and suspense but I never loved it. I guess too many stars don’t work for me, in general

 

On the Crash subject. One of Them Days. Delightful. Predictable in a disturbing way. Funny and said and touching.

 I have no idea what I would have typed

doesn't matter, it's the name devil

 you have been discussing it and sharing your disagreements in a civil manner 

heart

yes what I like about him is his range, that you wouldn't assume from his smug charm, from Something About Mary to Singles. Fitchner is cool, The Company You Keep was a great show. I suspected they wouldn't renew it, it was too good!

@immatthewj still on the Matt Dillon subject. You, me and Dupree. Not a big deal but he just did so fine. Unlike Owen Wilson, annoying in 4 out of 5 acts. Dillon is just cool, enjoyable, effortless in anything he does.
