@RedWhitetnTrue If I do end up coming to your door with my crew and you don’t hand over your weapons peacefully, it will not end well for you. I can promise you that much brother.
The ending of first and last episode of season 1 of The X-Files mirrors almost perfectly.
Scully’s clock ticks from 11:21 to 11:22, Mulder calls, and we cut to the Cigarette Smoking Man hiding something in a Pentagon vault.
Such a great detail.🙌
Modern TV can sometimes look like a car commercial. Everything appears sharp, clean, perfectly lit.
Then you rewatch Season 1 of The X-Files and remember how dark television used to be.
The Vancouver seasons have this cold, damp and an almost dreamlike quality.
A lot of that came from the way the show was photographed on 35mm film, and from cinematographer John Bartley's willingness to let darkness remain darkness.
In some of his interviews, he talked about lighting the walls while leaving the actors in shadow, or lighting the actors while letting the background disappear.
And also Vancouver's rain, mist and forests weren't just scenery. The crew used backlighting and steam to turn ordinary locations into something genuinely eerie.
And honestly, that's much harder to replace than people think.
The timeline where Mitt Romney won 2012:
-We are at a full scale war with Russia and Iran.
-We increase troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.
-The top 1% receives a massive tax cut that we haven’t seen since the Bush years.
-The corporate tax rate is slashed, hurting small businesses.
