It was already so dumb that it made me commit a run-on sentence.

Okay so the first half of season 2 of Riverdale was amazing and I loved it and then they seemingly ended this big mystery with the most obvious answer that still just doesn't seem right to me and now they've moved on in the second half and I legitimately couldn't make it through this next episode because suddenly the FBI are going to teenagers and trying to get them to be undercover like that's a thing that would actually fucking happen and I'm already rolling my eyes at everything. It was way more believable that these kids would just take things on themselves because of the fact that no adults would believe them and their findings but now that an actual adult is using Archie for FBI investigations without first going to a single adult is the most unbelievable bull shit yet.

I understand this not being a point of conversation because Yeardley is delightful and the controversy surrounding Apu is certainly not around her at all, but she does voice Lisa and they had that character be the new voice of the anti-pc campaign as a response to Hari's documentary. It always rubbed me the wrong way that Lisa, the one character that was actually the one to fight for the oppressed and be the liberal representative, suddenly breaks the fourth wall to tell people to stop complaining because no one said anything 30 years ago when they first started doing this. I just wonder what Yeardley's thoughts around this are, because I'm sure she herself doesn't exactly get a say in what comes out of Lisa's mouth but she even says she knows this characters extremely well, so I wonder if she thought this was a stance Lisa would've taken. Again, don't fault Matt for not bringing this up at all. Simply wanted to mention here myself.

Y'all are in luck I just had a gig cancel so I won't have to be traveling down to Houston on the 15th anymore lol so I'm good for that night too.

I've had that Elon Musk song stuck in my head ever since we had that conversation about comparing yourself to people younger than you.

Oh June I didn't realize today was your birthday!

Oh that's sad cause that was probably a lot of money for her that she just lost. I certainly hope whoever sent her out there to cover this whole thing reimburses her.

Based on this photo I found it looks like you could absolutely put on a telephoto lens (which is a fixed lens that is already zoomed for you), but I imagine that if she were already in the thick of the action she wasn't carrying around a bag of photo equipment with her.

Paul, based on my name I hope you are ready to be schooled in the camera talk. An automatic camera doesn't really mean anything. Most, if not all, cameras have an automatic feature, which just means that you wouldn't have to worry about resetting the shutter speed or f-stop. But automatic lenses only mean that you also wouldn't have to worry about focusing by your own eye and so you would only need to hold down the shutter button and it would automatically focus for you. What you are referring to is a fixed lens, which means that yes it has no zoom function, but that does not determine the quality of the photo itself. In fact I would say that fixed lenses have a higher quality than zoom lenses because they work faster and tend to have a lower f-stop number. (Basically the f-stop is what makes the background go all blurry, or as we say in the business, have a bokeh effect.) In terms of this certain scenario you pointed out it makes just as much sense for her to have a fixed lens over a zoom lens. Sure she could zoom in to grab a closer shot of the robot, but chances are she's using a 35mm or a 50mm lens so that would actually grab the robot pretty accurately for where she is sitting. Also tbh, Leica only represented around 5% of cameras used by photojournalists at the time, despite that being what everyone pictures when you talk about cameras back then. They were considered not as professional as the Contax and were even referred to as the "Beggar's Contax." Now I didn't watch this movie, but based on the photos of her holding that camera it definitely looks like they gave her an Argus, which as I look up that camera it literally looks spot on, and I'm happy to say that if they did indeed give her a C-3 like I think they did then they got the timing spot on because there were models made from 1939-45 and then another post war model made from 1945-1957.

Some yes. It depends on the maker. I have a Yashica that looks a lot like that and it came with a lens cap.

Thanks y'all for going on this wild ride with me! I hope y'all got a good look into my pre-teen hood lmao.

Oh I was just pulling your chain because lbr if those actors hadn't wanted to leave the show nothing bad would've ever happened to that family.

Hey they at least lost a daughter to the flu and Dan Stevens to a car crash so you can't say that nothing totally bad happens.

Most recently that dude that posted the Geostorm tag line info literally not only right after I did but an hour after I did so he would have had to be staring right at it as he wrote his entire post.

My guess is that I came in with that gem just too late and they had already gathered everything for him to read.

So would you say that the Metallica fans beating the shit out of DuJour was more accurate than we thought?

No I legit thought she was in this movie the WHOLE time I ever knew about its existence.

If Jason became the Deadpool of the John Wick universe and broke the fourth wall to ask each actor about their shitty movies I would say this installment would in fact be the best of all three.

Also also, I hope y'all know I kid when I say we can't be friends anymore lol

Honestly I totally understand not liking that kind of music, but my question really is did they even try to lambast sugary pop groups? I do think the movie itself is parodying boy bands for sure, but never once do our main three actually shit on DuJour. It even seems like Melody is a fan of theirs. The only time they seem to be anti-DuJour is when they find out their own manager skipped their show to get tickets, so it wasn't as much criticizing the other band as much as their own friend who would rather see someone else than them. Also, totally only called you out for the comedy of it and because your review of it was still in my mind and I wanted us all to discuss this properly. I'm still unsure how I feel about Letterboxd's commenting system. EDIT: Unless I'm once again misunderstanding the statement made, in which case there are definitely some IRL pop-punk bands that will shit on sugary pop but have way more in common than they think.

I am taking that one as it wasn't supposed to sound like they were just playing in a bowling alley since it plays over the beginning credits and then boom we find out they were playing that song live. Almost like that's what it sounded like in their heads and then we get zapped back into reality where no one gave a shit lol.

It's very hard to tell but her lead vocals suddenly have harmonies to them when Val wasn't even singing, and there sounds like there is an extra guitar in there. But you're right, they take an already produced sound and then just produce it more I guess?

Now I'm curious as to what you had originally read lol.

I think my favorite part was that one woman, who looked like she probably owned the salon, came in after everything was done to brush one piece of hair and everyone applauded her lol.

Oof not a good look for Alan M.
