Out of the loop@lemmy.world•Can someone smarter than me tell me if this affects me or not?
52·28 days agoThat would be my guess. But do we even know that precisely?

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Reddit is now promoting ads for fascist paramilitary invadersEnglish
765·28 days agoIt’s not. It’s off topic and should be deleted
Edit: can we please stop upvoting everything that insults Reddit? If you are defined by hating your ex, you need a new personality.

145·28 days agoIt doesn’t. It means the dollar is strong and people no longer want to invest in “alternatives”.
Unless you have a bunch of gold, then yeah… it affects you lol
Edit: also, gold doesn’t really have a “market cap”. We would need to know exactly the amount of gold on our planet to calculate a market cap

310·1 month agoOh boy. I just reread your edited comments. It’s hard to keep up when you edit like that
But yes, I would still care to hear your 40s and 50s examples. If you have one where overture+credits approaches 10 minutes, I’d be shocked. As we’ve discussed, some examples in the 60s can hit 5 minutes, but that’s about the most I’ve seen

411·1 month agoWhich 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.

58·1 month agoWhy 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)

65·1 month ago4 minutes. That’s a great example of the rare symphonic opening I was referencing.
But that’s also not the 40s or 50s.

59·1 month agoPlease 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

95·1 month agoThe 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.

Josh Allen is the greatest goober manchild I’ve ever seen play QB in the NFL. And I legit don’t even mean that as an insult

21·2 months agoListening to sports radio the past couple days in Philly, this man should probably receive police protection for a couple weeks
A bunch of injured 49ers? Playing the Eagles in the postseason? Never seen this before!!

NFL@lemmy.world•NCAA denies Ole Miss QB Chambliss' waiver for 6th year
11·2 months agoYou’re right that I was wrong. Most recent thing I can find is he’s projected as UDFA.
Idk what you’re seeing, but it’s sure not the same guy I’ve seen play
I want the Bears to win so the Eagles can exact their revenge on the biggest stage possible. Shame it can’t be the NFC Championship game
Y’know that proposal everyone got pissed at last offseason where one team said they should rank playoff seeds based on record?
Maybe they had a point ¯_(ツ)_/¯

























AKSHUALLY it was later ruled an INT
