Being ethical is great. SKFM, you should give it a shot!!
did they teach you about ethics at accountant school?
I imagine they are whispered about in the young accountant boarding school dormitories. "I heard Philpot got caught by the Ethical Investigator" and all the other kids shiver and cross themselves. Confused pictures of what the students think an 'Ethic' is, the consensus being a cross between the Child Catcher and Sauron.
They make us take ethics exams and continuing ethics classes
Unlike frog rammers who get their ethics lessons from Ron Paul and a talking dog
dat zither music
the third man is such a great movie. i'm kind of surprised it doesn't get referenced more - it seems like it's kind of slid into relative obscurity
i have heard it mentioned a lot by various filmbros
i mean, barely anybody actually refers to anything in citizen kane when you think about it
they just say "oh its the citizen kane of x"
whereas i frequently hear references to the switzerland speech or the zither music
The Third Man is more fun than Citizen Kane
like, I sometimes see people (who have generally not actually watched the movie) suggest that Kane's only virtue lay in its technical accomplishments so now it isn't worth watching
they say this generally to console themselves for not having seen it, but the fact is that not many people are ever actually that up to watch an emotionally chilly movie about a man slowly driving away everyone who cares about him over the course of decades until he dies alone
that is not crowd-pleaser material in any era. I love There Will Be Blood but lots and lots and lots of people are never going to be game to just pop that on the Netflix randomly on a Saturday night and that is the hip modern accessible version of the same kind of story
The Third Man, by contrast, is a stylish, atmospheric mystery in an exotic locale with supremely quotable dialogue so I think if you can actually sit people down to watch it they will probably find it much much easier to get into
and then the zither takes hold
Citizen Kane is a great movie, but it is certainly not a fun movie. I watched it solely as a movie, not as an education of film technique. Highly recommended to watch it as a movie.
oh, I completely agree, and probably should have made that clearer in my post. I really dig Kane and watch it every three or four years. But it's definitely a movie to be in the right mood for, although now that I think about it, next to There Will Be Blood it is positively cheerful.
ive never seen it. Ive seen the trailer a bunch of times though as it was on the VHS for Labrynth
it was a pretty good movie. great atmospherics and setting and casting and f murray abraham and ron perlman really give some great performances. sean connery is as good as he gets.
it's been probably 20 years since i've seen it so i have no idea if its held up. the eco book it's taken from is also pretty good if you like eco's shtick.

God damn did that movie hurt. I can't even imagine what it would be like to watch Now that I've experienced how terrible life can be.

ikiru is soooo good. one of my favorite kurosawa movie, maybe my #1 favorite. probably his movie with the most heart. such a sweet, poignant little film.

if I email a host company and be all "the shit you've got this website on is archaic, update please" and their response is to wait two weeks before going "uh, here's some ftp details. Migrate it yourself and we'll update the nameservers"
i am right to be annoyed by this laziness, right
like this isn't normal, is it?

i have never watched citizen kane, and from the bits of clips i've seen i can't imagine being anywhere other than the "this is really not the best movie in history" camp, although the man slowly driving away everyone who cares storyline is definitely a thing i would like more than most..............

Tav - you complain about lots of things but mostly about other people having opinions on things. Also, you are from a country that is just part of another country.
Boom. Roasted.

this is a good point that i have a hard time internalizing because my tastes run the other direction. like, i love these kinds of downtempo stylish tragic character studies, but they make frankie want to rip her eyes out from frustration and boredom and pathos.
she absolutely couldn't take there will be blood (fell asleep), no country for old men (left halfway through), inside llewyn davis (left literally with 15 minutes to go) or the master (sat through because we saw it in the cinema with a crew but continues to gripe about it to this day)
anyways i thought citizen kane was tits. harry lime was another cool character but the third man had a lot of elements that weren't solely watching harry lime unravel (though it totally had that too)
I wonder what the secret is of cultivating that taste in people. I've told the story before of seeing Midnight Cowboy when I was like, 12 or 13, and it's both pretty shocking (even to this day) and also really languidly-paced and a bummer but I just found myself intensely wrapped up in what was going on rather than, like, repelled

So the expansion of Hearthstone greatly improved the game. It at least isn't stale right now since the meta is in flux.
Sadly I think I will get a month before it becomes stale again because of how the game is set up.
A lot more rng though.
that rogue +3 weapon damage +3 attack to random minion is hells of damage and I will not be surprised if crazy aggro rogue becomes a bigger thing than it already is

That's pretty metal.
