@vincentdonofrio @StanleyKubrick I’ve often wondered how he achieved that and “multiple takes” isn’t enough because some other directors do that too and the performances are nothing like Kubrick’s. The flatness would be a disaster in any other movie. But for Kubrick it’s part of the magic

@AlexanderJMoss @jamie_graham9 Ditto. Same ages too

@LordBritannica @DollPariah @VonKoczalski @oldbooksguy Not quite true. A lot of it is well researched and historically accurate, and almost everything related to Mozart is right. The Salieri plot is largely fictional though

@hperryhorton Reposted without my dumb comment - I was thinking “best low budget indie”. For which I’d put this top

@Drlipid @drscottyk Is it a potential red flag for BPA though?

[Tom Young @tom_tom2021]

@drscottyk Interesting. Has there been any study on CAC progression and BPA yet? Possible it’s similar to the statin effect I guess, ie score increases but it gets more stable

@one_to_read @f33lthesun @stephenjdilley @ratherarthur Simon’s also separated from the rest in the chase scene, it means they all get their individual moments of both vulnerability and achievement. Adds to the sense for me none of the children is the main character, instead it’s an ensemble. Very different to book 2

[Tom Young @tom_tom2021]

@one_to_read #UnderDarkGreenKingTree A hint of the Box of Delights (arrival by train, meeting a mysterious figure on the platform) and a little of Swallows and Amazons (the boaty stuff and general vibe of the main characters). But it’s got an eerie magic of its own

@ThisisWalter89 @drjonty Several of those are still at it! Nolan, Villeneuve and del Toro are younger directors still carrying the visionary blockbuster flame. PTA and Wes Anderson are comparable to Scorsese/Coppola. Peele + Gerwig make popular yet imaginative films too. We’re just cynical adults now 😬

[Tom Young @tom_tom2021]

@Drlipid @DrRumberger Thanks both! I’ll see if I can convince the NHS to prescribe it 👍

[Tom Young @tom_tom2021]

@DrRumberger @Drlipid Thanks. Unfortunately even on that dose/frequency I still couldn’t tolerate it (gave me peripheral neuropathy, same with Lipitor). So Zetia and lifestyle is the only option, I’m curious how much that alone regresses CAC (I’m on a high percentile)

[Tom Young @tom_tom2021]

@DrRumberger @Drlipid What about Ezetimibe alone?

[Tom Young @tom_tom2021]

@drjonty There's probably loads of great ones but most agreed on are 25 (used for opening credits of Amadeus), 29, then 34-41. 40/41 easily the most famous
