I discovered it over a decade ago via Nostalgia Critic when I used to watch him so when I saw the DT upload a while back I made sure to revisit the masterpiece. It's...really something else.

It was and then I saw Acela and I haven't been the same since.

The gifs you used for half of them are so generic I can't tell which movie they even are.

 

[Drizzle]

Wait @DarthSkywalker did you see the ROTJ rerelease yet?

This is the hours I've spent with each of these films. They are instantly recognizable to me.

Now I want to test Snow when she's on later.

Went today with my bro. It was a very good time.

Nice, glad you enjoyed it! I was tempted but there's too much coming out in the near future for me to justify another trip to the movies. I was just happy I saw it in theaters back in '97 when the Special Editions were released. I was also fully on board with watching I-VI again in theaters ten years ago when the plan was to release them all in 3D until Disney bought Lucasfilm and scrapped that. I think now the biggest incentive for me to see the OT again in theaters would be if they released the original pre-Special Edition versions. I'm not even a Special Edition hater, I just want to see Lapti Nek remastered on the big screen.

Totally get it. I'm probably not going back to the theater until June, so my bro and I were, "why not". He was very happy we did so after. First time he's really been able to sit down without anything bothering him and watch it in years.

Well, this was fun. B level type flick done with care, considering the low budget. Basically this in gif form.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Watching interviews of Sam Peckinpah. In a lot of interviews they keep asking him about his depiction of violence and so forth. He keeps getting annoyed by this in each one, he starts drinking cups of coffee and then cups of bourbon one after another.

Writers Guild Strike Deadline: Hollywood Scrambling on May 1 – The Hollywood Reporter

WGA Writers Strike: What Happens to TV Shows, Streaming and Talk Shows - Variety

If there is a strike, which shows will go off the air first?

The WGA has put out a list: “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” “Real Time with Bill Maher,” “Late Night With Seth Meyers,” “Saturday Night Live” and “Last Week Tonight With John Oliver.” All of those shows rely on writers to produce material right up to the last moment. Without writers, they would be forced into reruns.

Viewers might not notice too many other disruptions for quite a while. Shows that have already been produced, but not yet broadcast, will continue to air. A lot of shows have wrapped for the season. NBC’s “Law & Order” shows, including “SVU” and “Organized Crime,” just wrapped last week, meaning the footage is in hand with the network and the final episodes of those seasons should air without issue later this month. But CBS’s “FBI” and “FBI: Most Wanted” are still scheduled to shoot this week in New York, so their current seasons could be impacted.

A strike might have to go on for several months before it impacts next season’s shows. And for a lot of shows, the traditional seasonal calendar doesn’t mean too much. Showtime’s “Billions” is scheduled to film Season 7 scenes this week in New York, but it does not have a premiere date announced, so it doesn’t have a target to miss — yet.

Will TV production halt if there is a strike?

Not entirely. Reality shows, news, sports, interview-based talk shows and other non-scripted entertainment are not subject to the WGA agreement and will continue. And even some scripted production could continue. The WGA cannot stop showrunners from coming to work in their “producer” capacity, so long as they don’t do any writing. For them, it really is an individual decision. Some may feel a lot of social pressure if they continue to work while their lesser-paid colleagues are on the picket lines. In that case, they might hand off the producing duties to a non-WGA producer, who would keep the production going.

And many shows will certainly shut down. Most showrunners (who are WGA members) will likely stop all of their producing work on shows to demonstrate solidarity with their guild, and in that case it might make more sense for a studio to halt production.

Will film production be affected?

If a film already has a completed script, it shouldn’t have a problem. But if the script needs rewriting during production, no WGA writer would be available. A strike that lasts several months could delay production of films for which scripts are not yet complete.

The Directors Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA will still have “no strike” clauses in place. Individual actors or directors may choose not to come to work during a WGA strike, but they can be replaced or even — hypothetically — sued if they breach a personal services contract.

Writer-directors might feel the same pressure that showrunners feel. Such “hyphenates” are members of both the WGA and the DGA and would be on strike in their writer capacity but allowed to work in their director capacity. They can walk off set if they’re not comfortable, but they can also be replaced.

As far as talk shows, didn't they mostly wing it during the 2007-2008 Writer's Strike? I definitely don't remember them going off the air, at least not for long because Conan and Letterman were growing out beards during it.

What is it likely to mean for films?

Yeah they did and it made for some of the greatest moments in late night.

Writers Strike Shuts Down Late-Night Shows After WGA Talks With Studios Fail – Deadline

Writers Strike Shuts Down Late-Night Shows After WGA Talks With Studios Fail – Deadline

If the rumors about Netflix being the lone holdout that triggered the strike are true, that's the least surprising thing in the world. Don't think any other entertainment company right now can top them for open disdain for their art and artists or general incompetence by execs willfully determined to not even attempt to understand the industry they're working in.

 

[Kane52630]

In many ways, Netflix is the sole reason why this strike is even happening with these upfront streaming deals with no residuals that everyone started using.

Not even a minute in to that video and I'm feeling all sad and nostalgic. I miss Late Night Conan and Rock Band.

Hope the strike works out for the WGA and things improve for the better.
