Either an Anomaly, or a Difficulty

Very solid choice! It’s another one that has been an inspiration to so much of modern cinema.

There are so many, but I think my first choice would probably have to be Seven Samurai. It is such an amazing piece of cinema. One of the most influential pieces that has inspired almost all of the film we still see today.

SUPERHOT!

Just so it’s clear, Venezuela has ample oil, and holds one of the world’s top ten supplies of fresh water.

You will be really excited to tell someone important news today, then forget what you wanted to say as soon as you see them.

Checked there and searched online for any demo modes/ testing codes that would allow me to mute it. Evidently, a lot of folks online absolutely hate my microwave as well, because no one can mute it. That said, the community of microwave haters has provided me with instructions to rip out the speaker if I choose to silence the wailing banshee for good.

My microwave has an un-interuptable 6 shrill beeps, that then repeat if the door is not opened in 10 seconds. There is no mute option, and it can be heard everywhere in the house. I have seriously considered just ripping the speaker out of it. It is, without a doubt, the appliance I hate most in my house.

Some will probably exist as exhibition pieces in places like Williamsburg, but a lot of the practical skill and techniques are in danger of being lost due to lack of use. Among the skills that I would like to see preserved are things like flint knapping, blacksmithing (blade smithing is still doing fairly well), foraging, manual land navigation, and to an extent manual stone carving / banking masonry.

Much of the manual nature of these skills has been replaced by automation or handheld electronics, so they are practiced by a dwindling number of artisans.

Open a non-profit primitive skills school. There are several of these skills that are rapidly dying and will likely be gone within a generation.

Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and Footloose are probably my favorites of all time. It’s really hard to find soundtracks with a better collection of absolutely amazing songs imo.

Exactly. No fuss, and no muss. Be direct, but tactful. The more obfuscated you make this conversation, the more awkward it’s going to be.

That is really cool and slightly terrifying.

Usually play guitar, play around in blender, or code. It sounds backward, but boredom does wonders for my creative side.

It’s hard to overstate how important the film is to cinema. It pretty much established what the modern movie is.

That said, based strictly off of entertainment value. IMO it is just absolutely terrible.

No need to apologize to me dude. If you are that age and still feel like sex is the peak of your life’s achievement, then I am happy for you.

In fairness, I really like onion rings.

Depends on your age bracket, in my opinion.

At 20, it’s like catching the game winning touchdown for the national championship when your team was the underdog.

At 40, it’s like winning a hundred bucks on a lottery scratcher.

At 50, it’s like getting a free order of onion rings with your meal.

At 60, it’s like getting an extra nugget in your 9 piece.
