The self-deletion scene, for instance. Daylight, eating outside, goes to what looks like night in the woman's house (granted, she could live somewhere else), and then there's the song Linger for a short interval, then g*nshot, and her head falls, back to the daylight picnic, then back to self-deleter. We had shots of the earbud in her ear. Was Linger supposed to be what she was listening to? When we go back, there's no music playing, like Apple Music would continually play. Why such a short clip of Linger in there? Just weird. Could make sense later? Idk. That's why I left room for myself to be wrong in the post.
Then, morning with daughter eating cereal and juice on table. Then Amy Adams talking to husband. "Are you ready for tonight?" and looks like she's about to reply and then hard cut to car leaving house. And we are now in late afternoon to evening. Time jump? Maybe. But the car leaving there and her arriving at the guy and his mom's house implies direct continuation. So morning to late afternoon/early evening.
Then later, next morning, Amy Adam's got a coffee, he's got coffee, newsbreak, and now ready for the evening dinner.
When she's speaking at the dinner, she sees Max Cady. And it cuts back and forth a few times. She's already reacting like its Cady. And yes, he does step out of shadow, but then we get the dolly zoom.
Compare that to the famous dolly zoom in Jaws, we get the dolly zoom on Roy Schreider as soon as he sees trouble. In Cape Fear, we've already seen multiple cuts of her suspecting trouble. Doesn't work. Feels off.
How would I do it differently? I dont know. That's why I say it might be that we need to see the whole series first. Might be some intentional use of disorientation they were going for. Taken as it is, it leaves me asking so many questions about trivial logistics that it distracts from the story.

[David C. Hoke @TheDavidCHoke]

The editing in the Cape Fear series is just really, really off sometimes. More so than I've seen in a while from a major production.
If there's a reason for it, once the whole season is in, I'll cheerfully retract my statement.
I'm just documenting this now, so in case it becomes a thing, I'll be on record as saying, "yeah, that's a thing."

@fortnitebussy1 When some corporate VP in a Teams call talks about KPIs, this is what they sound like to me.

@Variety Ok, my opinion of JLo just went up about 5000 points. Bravo! Nomadland was unbearable. Then that god awful Eternals right after it. 🤮. .

KUNG POW! ENTER THE FIST (2002) is one of the dumbest movies ever made, and that’s its greatest strength. Steve Oedekerk turns an old martial arts film into a comedy with badly dubbed dialogue, and somehow the joke works for the whole movie.

I keep hearing how amazing AI is and how people are doing crazy things and making money. Meanwhile, my AI...

@capitolsquire @AugustusDelano performative tool? I guess I'm imagining a much smaller notebook than you. I have an 8.5 x 5-inch notebook and a pen. Tucks right under my arm. Wtf are you imagining? A big encyclopedia-sized, ten-pound notebook?

[David C. Hoke @TheDavidCHoke]

Some art demands more attention than others. Sometimes you don't want to give up that attention. So, if you suspect it demands that level of attention...eh. Maybe another time. I love Apocalypse Now. Top 10 movie for me. But I can't watch it all the time. Burgers are just fine sometimes.

[David C. Hoke @TheDavidCHoke]

@punzy123 @TheCinesthetic haha beat me to it. I was gonna say every adult film ever made.

"Y’all come on here and say any ole fuckin thing." Full credit to someone on Threads, and I'm now adopting this as my go-to comment on just about damn near anything.

We extend our deepest condolences to the family of Dave “Coach Mac” McGinnis, who passed away Monday afternoon in Nashville with family at his side.

@venom1s She's 41. Window closing. Timing awkward. Shit happens. Having the baby is better than NOT having the baby.

I will grind whatever grist the mill requires in order to fulfill my duty.

When I was stuck and didn't know how to push forward, I would repeat this line to myself over and over again. It didn't make me bulletproof, but it did make me keep going. Sometimes you have to exert overwhelming force and energy to overcome obstacles, and it might feel like more force than necessary at the time.

Once it's over and you look back, if you achieved your goal, it wasn't too much force at all. It was just a new level you had to boss fight your way into. That's when yesterday's too much becomes your new minimum standard.
