I was feeling pretty blue today, and then I read the comments on this video and now I feel much worse.

Per the latest Roderick on the Line, some collaborative memories.

Dog School was a very bad ska band with a rotating lineup that included me, @grantimatter, Christian/X-ian/Lando, and Aaron from Big Nerd Ranch.

Last photo is from the Church of the SubGenius event Lando had organized at New College. At which event Rev. Ivan Stang married everyone in attendance to one other for 24 hours.

(Thanks, @megancytron)

My non-spoiler review of “Ripley”, as described by what the show apparently loves:

• noir
• stairs
• newspapers
• smoking & ashtrays
• dead lock off cameras
• casting, costuming, hair and makeup a dude who looks just like Christopher Nolan in wide shots

(it’s great)

Okay, as someone who has done a lot of independent research about "Jaws" and its making-of-mythology, I can say this is a terrific video.

This is a lesson for those out there who may not grasp the logistical nightmare that is "making a movie". The moment you step on set, you're making compromises.

The more you watch making-of documentaries or listen to oral histories produced decades after the production the more you slowly realize that nearly every big action movie filmed in the 70's and 80's was a death trap.

The soundscape in "The Zone of Interest" (2023) dawns on you so slowly, and your brain initially wants to ignore it.

But, over time, the sounds start registering at a depth you can't reject, and you absolutely know exactly what you're hearing.

Which I imagine is what it felt like at the time.

Only it was right there.
