| Movie/film suggestions. Baldwin was both producer and star, and why on Earth was live ammo even anywhere near the set??!! In my mind, @thecarpathian , this is the six-million-dollar question. | |
| Movie/film suggestions. Baldwin was the producer of the film. Yes, and I thought of that after I posted that reply. As well as being an actor on the movie set, he was also one of the producers. So I guess that needs consideration as well. If your kid is playing wi... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. @hce1 , welcome to the movie club within the audio club! Gus Van Zant: Drugstore Cowboys and Good Will Hunting were mentioned above, and I second those recs. Also excellent: To Die For (written by Buck Henry, with stunning performances by Nicole... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. . . . I missed this, @gano I have no doubt Spector was "crazy". I don’t know if he was a decent human being before his decline/bipolar diagnosis, but being mean is not a crime. He should not have had a gun. (and I could go on about who else sh... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. @gano , I am glad you got back to me on both of these: I do not have a strong feeling whether he was innocent or not. I think putting a loaded gun in someone’s mouth is risky enough to warrant a conviction. It’s kind of like Baldwin and rust, yo... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. @slaw "Iceman" is darker. This may have been why I didn’t finish it. I like dark, but I think Iceman out-darked me. Another one I cannot watch anymore is Casualties Of War (1989) because it depresses me so badly. Love Bill Murray. He’s g... | |
| How competitive are you with your system? Matthew, Have you tried Parcheesi? Not yet, but my system is so competitive that this afternoon it challenged me to a bench-press contest. | |
| Dealer affiliations and attitudes, assumptions and lack of respectful engagement in audio. Careful with the lithium, @gkelly , it has some nasty side effects and interacts badly with many other meds. Anyway, that syndrome you referred to is healthy and normal people seem to be afflicted by it. | |
| Movie/film suggestions. And David Aaron Baker played Alan Jackson. What a turn-about of casting that would be. Out of curiosity, @gano , what did you think of Al Pacino as Phil Spector? I truly enjoyed his performance, but I have noted that we don’t always agree when ... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. Re: Matt Dillon. I adore him. I should hate him for being so good looking but somehow he is so modest I can’t. He has such a range I wonder why he is not cast more? @gano , have you seen Haunted Heart (2024)? I watched it last night after I th... | |
| What exactly is critical listening? Who does it? When I was younger, I never had the awareness to listen very very carefully however I was very mindful of how well music filled the room vs crappier systems which were disappointing. By 'younger', are you referring to your days in the first g... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. @immatthewj do not stop with casting suggestions. I enjoy shooting them down :) In that case, @gano : we have got to give Rebecca Pidgeon a part! She is from Cambridge and she is not exactly what most would consider a big name. I see a few ro... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. I totally enjoyed Kill The Irishman, @slaw , I think I may have commented on it after I watched it. I don't think I finished Iceman. Maybe it was too depressing for me, I cannot remember. @gano , this is my last casting suggestion--I promise. ... | |
| Any modern rock recommendations? The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus sounds like a very good band. I think I will try to catch their show in Ohio coming up in early August. | |
| Any modern rock recommendations? The 1975 sounds like another great band I need to check out. |
