    this was shockingly pretty good. the first 20-30minutes are basically the running man- after that things get really interesting. it's also filmed like a 60s arthouse sci-fi with an (obviously) paltry budget that is complemented by some pretty clumsy and very juvenile directing choices. 

    in other words: it's top tier b-movie territory

    Quentin Tarantino is breaking into NFTs.

    Announced Tuesday, the award-winning director and writer is auctioning off seven uncut scenes from “Pulp Fiction” as nonfungible tokens, also including original handwritten scripts from the film and exclusive audio commentary from Tarantino himself. The collectibles will be auctioned on NFT marketplace OpenSea.

    Tarantino is scheduled to comment on the “Pulp Fiction” nonfungible tokens during a panel alongside crypto investor Mike Novogratz, founder and CEO of Galaxy Digital, and others, at the NFT NYC conference Tuesday afternoon.

    Saw you are on an an Everest kick. Took a while to track this down but wife and I watched this documentary a few years ago. Remember it being highly compelling (suspect better than the IMAX film) and includes interviews with the climber/documenter and members of the party that survived. Honestly would watch this over a dramatic re-enactment any day, extremely well done/enjoyable and pretty fascinating insight into how people's minds work in very extreme situations...

     

    yes. that's the best version of that story and what started me on the everest kick. 

    if you enjoyed that, i also highly recommend this 2019 disaster that popularized the everest traffic jam photograph

    one thing i noticed that made me chuckle: when you watch footage of the everest expedition in 1953, by the time those guys reached camp four, they were running up the mountain just wearing a shirt and a knitted vest. in the 90s, these guys are dressed like they're astronauts.

    this started off pretty promising, then it just walked off a cliff and into the void. firstly, none of these actors can sell their act, but things are made much worse when the dialogue is so bad. also- the casting is pretty bad. besides the guy playing scott fischer who (i guess kinda looks like him?) i couldn't fathom for even a second why these people were chosen for their characters. 

    i'll guess they had a pretty tight window to turn around a profit and just went with what they could and cobbled some music to stitch it all together.

    i've been watching "almost anything" everest and i have to say the 96 disaster has to be one of the most compelling stories about a sojourn up the (or any) mountain i've seen so far. 

    having seen this film previously but not being familiar with the story, i can say that seeing it again i noticed how bad it was. it favors some characters more than others- makes others out to be incredibly unlikeable or just erases others from history all together (eg. why did they completely remove makalu from history?), and looks terrible once they start the climb. 

    unfortunate for such a compelling story

    this was a "wholesome" re-creation of the book- and by saying that, it is still pretty brutal. what it does (and roots did this as well) as compress decades into seconds and you loose that bond that people have when they've known one another for a long time. imo, it's best to watch this if you've read the book rather than the other way around. also, don't let sam jackson's face on the poster fool you. him and phylicia rashad are barely in it.

    this film was amazing. that family approved sticker is no joke. somehow the fat kid from stand by me is a dad and really chewing up his scenes (because he's the most experienced i suppose). everything that comes afterwards has to be some kind of peyote induced fever dream
