I think that's going to about do it for me on this platform. It used to be a fun place to interact with people about fun things.
But it's not much fun anymore, and I think maybe it's not too good for me, either.
So bye. Find me on IG if you like. 🙂
@tgreiving@mattzollerseitz According to Intrada's re-release of the original LP program, the pianists were Raymond Turner & Caesar Giovannini.
But that was a different recording from the actual scoring sessions for the movie (common practice at the time). Could it have been Williams that played on those?
@Srirachachau One of my favorites (and I believe one of the earliest episodes) is the one where Joe Pantoliano has a cat's nine lives surgically transferred to his own body.
The show was great at taking a completely absurd premise and making it both fun and disturbing at the same time.
@MuseZack One of the main reasons I prefer the 20th anniversary "director's cut" of CET3K is that it's the only one of the 3 official versions that includes both the bedroom fight and the full throwing-trash-in-the-house sequence. Together, I think they make Ronnie much more sympathetic.
@Srirachachau I really like Psycho II. Also, I think it might count as the first "legacy sequel," at least in the way we use that term nowadays.
And on that note, it would never get past one of these "superfan focus groups" studios are apparently putting together.
@jessiegender What's really unnerving is that it's apparently not only about what they think will make more money, but also about reducing the chances of threats and abuse against the cast and crew. 😬
Ziplines?! Good grief...
Just... keep the place clean, the projector bulbs bright, the speakers calibrated, and the screens masked correctly, and I'll be happy as a clam.
And maybe lower the ticket prices just a tad and you might be surprised how many more people show up...
The biggest movie theater chains in the U.S. and Canada plan to invest more than $2.2 billion to upgrade more than 21,000 screens.
The investment includes upgrading sound, projection and dining experiences -- plus pickleball and ziplines.

@BillHuntBits Is there any chance they might be able to present both the multi-aspect ratio AND consistent 2.39 versions? Seems like that would be a very easy thing to seamlessly branch (it would literally require only one branching point about 20 minutes in).
