  • Film Students Are Having Trouble Sitting Through Movies, Professors Say

    Jump

  • Which Lawrence of Arabia version from the 40s or 50s (your words) are you referring to?

    If you mean the famous 60s film…. Yes, it has a minute of credits and another 4 or 5 for the overture. Not credits.

    Again, still looking for examples of extended credit sequences. Overtures are basically the same as intermissions. That’s a totally different beast.

    Even if you want to lump them together, we’re still at the “one or two” I mentioned. Huge Hollywood blockbusters. Exceedingly rare.

  • Why do people keep naming 60s films with 4 minutes of musical intros when I’m asking for 40s and 50s films with 10 minute credit intros lol?

    Edit: overture is the word I was looking for, not “musical intro”. But that’s not a thing that happened in early cinema (barring Chaplin, who had strict control of scores - would be interested if someone else cares to google that)

  • Ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon released after arrest over Minnesota church protest

    Jump

  • The timing of his indictment was coordinated so that they announced they were going after him a week before the latest batch of Epstein files were released?

    Or was it timed to be a few weeks after the last batch?

    Genuinely not sure what this means.

  • 4 minutes. That’s a great example of the rare symphonic opening I was referencing.

    But that’s also not the 40s or 50s.

  • Film Students Are Having Trouble Sitting Through Movies, Professors Say

    Jump

  • Please name one. Never seen one that had more than 2 minutes of opening credit even if you include the extra symphonic stuff as “credits” (we don’t count previews toward runtimes now, so not sure it’s a fair comparison). Maybe one or two had a dedicated symphonic opening but that was exceedingly rare

    Jump

  • The Truffaut film referenced is an hour and 45 minutes.

    What movie had 10 minutes of opening credits? Back when credits were at the open, it used to be about 30 seconds of credits.

    Why do we keep using the Russian captured internet?

    Jump

  • It looks like “verified audience” reports only include people who bought a ticket on Fandango. This means a small group of people who saw some preview in a theater. If you change the filter to “all,” the audience ratings are much poorer. Nobody is going to buy tickets because it’s not in theaters, so then”verified” score will be skewed, I guess

  • Growing number of Republicans criticize Trump officials' response to Alex Pretti's shooting

  • You come for the white women, I was mildly inconvenienced. YOU COME FOR THE WHITE MEN, WTF BRO?!?! THIS ONE WAS STRAIGHT!!!!11

  • Where to volounteer if I don't have time?

    Jump

  • It wouldn’t be enough, unfortunately. The inquiries we get are all over the place. “I would love to do a couple hours on a Tuesday evening” and then “can I come in Saturday during the day?” Not enough to justify an off hours supervisor. It would basically be a full time employee but they’d work a super random schedule.

    The sad truth is that retirees tend to be the most reliable volunteers. Just because we get people interested doesn’t mean they stick around/come regularly. And I don’t blame them. I work full time and having to commit to something else after work seems daunting.

  • Where to volounteer if I don't have time?

    Jump

  • I work at a non-profit and it’s a shame. We get a lot of people asking for nights and weekends but it’s hard to coordinate volunteers then because our volunteer office is a 40 hour a week office. they aren’t around after hours to supervise volunteers, so we don’t really have volunteers then.

    With that being said, look into general volunteerism clubs, like Rotary. They often are geared towards people who work full time.

  • Best rock/punk/similar music from your country? (preferably non-English)

    Jump

  • Operation Ivy and Rancid have more members in common than some bands that keep the same name over a couple decades.

    Funny you said Dead Milkmen. Can’t say I’ve ever met anyone outside of Philly who considers them more than a one hit wonder

  • If abortion gets legalized, then renouncing paternity should be allowed too, to ensure equality?

    Jump

  • Hot takes? If OP wanted to try a hot take, they could try something not from the 2001 MRA handbook.

  • Anyone else on here a "Reddit refugee"?

    Jump

  • If I have valuable info and I want to share it in a controlled way, I can use an API. If i am an airline, I could spit out a feed that tells you a list of flights and how delayed they are. If im Reddit, I can share posts, comments, etc.

    Anyone (in the case of a free API) can take the data the API spits out and make their own app with it. But if you charge for API access, then someone would have to pay to make an app with your information.

  • What cheap-ish bulk items would you buy for yourself and your home before an economic depression?

    Jump

  • Nothing. Space is a value. Even worst case scenario, put all your money in a savings account and you get at least 1% in a HYS during shitty times. That’s better than shelling out all your money now for items that will probably cost the same in a few years

  • A Jan. 6 plaque was made to honor law enforcement at the Capitol. Its whereabouts are unknown

    Jump

  • Probably the same place as any other reference the government ever made to J6… a trash can with our only evidence being something like archive.org

  • TIL Jan. 7 marks Christmas for many Orthodox Christians; about 12% of Christians worldwide identify as Orthodox
