@RhettReese Many years ago I remember thinking that eventually reality will be able to be perfectly simulated on screen, because of the nature of digital, and here we are.
@Sefray1@TheCinesthetic Agreed. The motion blur wasn’t good in many scenes. I read that much of it was shot on digital. Film might have been a better choice, at that time. I love the movie though, in spite of that.
@GadSaad You reminded me that there was a World Series game tonight, so I went to look it up to see who won, and the 15th ending is about to start. Ha ha ha. Now I will be watching it until someone wins.
@springarm33@jasondebolt Right. We are incapable of conceptualizing absolute nothingness. The closest we can get is a big empty space, with a background color, which is something.
@jasondebolt Great points. We are obviously missing a key piece of the puzzle. Something has always existed, yet we can’t conceive of how that is possible, yet it is.
@ItIsHoeMath The Christ story is an absurd myth, based upon superstitions about blood sacrifice to appease the gods. It’s also mean-spirited and exclusory, in that it doesn’t offer salvation to those who don’t accept him as the messiah. Living ethically, however, is noble.
@royalserf Well, Mexico is a country, not a race. Believing all Mexicans are brown would be the same as believing that all Americans look like the Native Americans.
@1adimotesi@MomsPostingLs I don’t think my mortgage company will accept the “basic human rights” argument, in lieu of a monetary payment, and I’m pretty sure my tax dollars pay for police safety, not my “human rights”.
@kascal@SkinDoctorN9@MomsPostingLs Why are you making the assumption that they are not doing it by choice? There’s a large number of women making a living in a variety of sex jobs, by choice.
@kimberlycongdon Agreed. I had an idealized version of Europe in my mind when I traveled there a decade ago. I was very happy to get back to the United States, after my trip ended.
@JCarrilloH@TheCinesthetic I drove an hour to see this when it came out, and I remember feeling giddy on the drive home, because of how enjoyable this film was.
