Wow, my internet sucks.

This forum isn’t very fun anymore.

The thing is, Warb did start his own forum at some point.

For someone who claims to have so many problems with the moderation of this site, you sure do invoke the mods a lot. You should start your own Star Wars forum and ban everyone who creates an account. That’s the beauty of the free market.

Go fuck yourself. If I get banned for that, I get banned.

What the hell, man.

Probably. But I can’t get enough of the aimless adolescence I see in movies like The Graduate, The Last Picture Show, and so on…

Can’t relate to them. They annoy me. The most recent teen movie I really liked was Ridgemont High, mostly because it was hilarious more than being able to relate to any one character.

Ugh.

I wish I was more open to watching these coming of age movies. I just hate watching teenagers in movies made in the past 30 or so years.

Some movies never even had official scores. I know The Passion of Joan of Arc didn’t, and the oldest score on the Criterion disc was written in the 90s I think.

That film was intended to be played without music whatsoever.

Even then, the official score may be lost, so who the hell knows what kind of music goes to it.

Seeing a silent film accompanied by a period-accurate organ in a period-accurate theater is still the best movie-going experience I’ve ever had.

Exactly. It’s all bullshit. The trend has been that incumbents are being voted out, even if their opposition has the same policy positions. I’m sick of the political showmanship, spouting off morals and patriotism, when it’s all just about staying in power.

When it comes to the mid-terms… vote them out.

If I stopped drinking soda pop, I’d probably look like a skeleton with skin stretched over it.

My favourite silent film’s probably Lon Chaney’s Phantom of the Opera.

Ending’s a tad weak, but Chaney’s brilliantly unnerving. And I just love the two-colour Technicolor sequences.

That the soundstage at Universal Studios where the Opera House set stood all those decades was finally torn down a couple years ago is almost criminal. They dismantled the set and removed it prior to the demolition, but who knows if they will ever reassemble it?

But where would they put their precious HARRY POTTER??

I’ve been doing intermittent fasting intermittently for quite awhile now (mostly out of laziness/cheapness), but I haven’t lost any weight, although I’m not necessarily trying to or even need to in the first place. I will say it’s remarkable how little hunger you feel once you get used to it. There are some days I have to remind myself to eat at all. Let’s be honest, it’s probably not healthy (though everywhere I’ve read says it is).

I do that too, not consciously. Sometimes I forget to eat until I nearly pass out from the low blood pressure. That’s not too healthy, but neither is the food I eat. I suppose it balances out and I’m not fat at all.

Still scariest Dracula. And incredible the film still exists today, given it was supposed to be destroyed for violating copyright law.

Those movie rental people had rewind machines, I tell ya!

It’s upsetting that some of the greatest films of the era will probably never be seen by living eyes again. 90% of all films before 1929 are lost.

Holy heck, Ash. Be safe.

When is Frink coming back?

That’s terrible, DE! I hope the kitten recovers!
