niktemadur,

Sheepsquash is just a fancy new gringo name for El Chupacabras.

niktemadur,

Half a century on, we’ve come full circle.

Then the sequel:
TR3N.5 - Treen Fiddy

niktemadur,

Looks like anti-vaxx pyramid scheme party food from where I’m standing.

niktemadur,

What about DJ Qualls in “The Core”?

While being interrogated in his introduction sequence, he casually folds an aluminum chewing gum wrapper, puts it to his lips and kinda whistles with it for a second, while holding a cell phone in front of his mouth. After this little public display of phreaking, he hands the cell phone over to the hero and says “Here… now you can call anywhere free for life with it”.

niktemadur,

Looks like a halfway point between Ethan Hawke and Benedict Cumberbatch.

niktemadur,

Huh?

    Ooh La La!

    niktemadur,

    Oh, I didn’t mean you, sorry if that’s the impression I gave, I was just pondering on things the way I’m remembering them.

    Now that you mention “tapes out of a car”, before the internet there was another way that music spread in those days, for those of us who lived in smaller cities. Somebody would go to the cool city and take along his portable stereo, record tapes of the cool radio station, then back in town those tapes would circulate and get copied like bootlegs.

    From LA in the 80s, it was KROQ with Punk, Post-Punk (The Stranglers, Joy Division) and Technopop (Depeche Mode, Human League, etc.).
    In the 90s it was MARS FM with Techno and House.
    I can only imagine the Hip-Hop that was being played in low-power radio stations in places like NYC or Philly.

    A friend used to go to San Francisco every summer, brought back a bunch of tapes from the LIVE 105 graveyard shift, all carefully catalogued with dates, DJs and playlists. It was like KROQ but more subtle and varied, listening to those tapes felt exotic and meaningful.

    One time he brought back a tape of KFJC, one where I first heard things like Liquid Liquid and Pharoah Sanders; that one felt like my mind got a firmware upgrade. Extraordinary.

    Since the internet and starting with Real Player, now the entire world is at our fingertips (and ears), and I’m glad about this, but I will forever be grateful for those tapes from back when we weren’t directly plugged into “the action”.

    Hunter S. Thompson as Santy Claus!

    niktemadur,

    niktemadur,

    If there’s something the internet has confirmed since its’ inception, is that humanity is both incredibly clever and incredibly stupid, in equal measure, beyond what I ever imagined was possible, beyond what I could conceive.

    niktemadur,

    Nope, it’s bone hurting juice.

    Oof ow ouchie, my bones.

    niktemadur,

    He has been made redundant. Corporate has decided to cut costs and increase profits ahead of the upcoming IPO.

    niktemadur,

    The ones that really grab my sight are not film but glass plates, the clarity of images that are 120 years old is unbelievable.

    niktemadur, (edited )

    Actually, he won it for playing Churchill in The Darkest Hour.
    Although I do believe Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy should have won all kinds of awards. And that includes Oldman for doing the nearly impossible as George Smiley: reprising a truly iconic Alec Guinness role and actually making it his own.

    EDIT: well it took me a minute to catch your real meaning.

    niktemadur,

    American Graffiti is a very good and extremely well-directed movie, and got him his first Best Director nomination at the Oscars. The second being, obviously, for the original Star Wars.

    I think he got lost in a maze of mirrors, a prisoner of his own massive success, considering his spectrum-ish profile and reclusive tendencies.

    niktemadur,

    Either a clone or a spontaneous midichlorian conception.

    niktemadur,

    Is that haircut closed, open, or saddle-shaped?

    niktemadur,

    This is the future that libruls want WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!

    niktemadur,

    “Granny, do the dog bite?”
    “No, child, no.”

    niktemadur,

    And who was casting the nets that kept on capturing people all the way into the 20th century?

    One would imagine Arabs themselves wouldn’t want to “get their hands dirty”, would have the middleman ships full of slaves arrive at their ports and then have the auctions begin.

    niktemadur,

    The Fayum portraits are among my favorite things in the entire history of art.
