I was just being facetious, Cirion! I find practical effects with actual cameras fascinating and I'm glad when they're discussed here! Especially when considering someone like Antonioni, technical aspects are about the only part of the discussion that I don't find excruciating.

Another problem with long tracking shots is that when a movie has one, you can't ever mention the movie without having to immediately hear about the long tracking shot. Its Pavlovian. The Passenger I suppose could be discussed a thousand different ways, but its never been done because if you mention The Passenger the…

Diskwiss, why are all our posts cut into circles? Give me back my compass!

What I'm mostly glad about with the first short horror story is that the demon was actually THERE. Nothing about it being all in the person's mind or counterfeiters in the basement controlling a puppet demon or anything like that. A real demon!

Diskwiss, did you read a scrapbook of medieval posts and are now hiding in the internet?

Those are really good sounds, the tinkle of a spoon in a teacup and gentle sleeping!

Diskwiss, is there a buzzer when we leave a new post or does a light come on or do you just find them on the floor?

Lazy is good! You will be so busy soon you will be glad you rested when you had the chance. Although trips to the city or the pond or the waterslide would be fun too! What will you do in the city? Will that be for Ghostbusters? No wait, you said you're going to Ghostbusters on the weekend, right?

There's an entire chapter devoted to the 1925 Ben-Hur in The Parade's Gone By…, worth reading along with all the other chapters. Regarding the scene in which the full scale ship loaded with Italian extras (many of whom could not swim) is burned at sea:

Diskwiss, its kind of smelly in there, when was the last time you took out the garbage?

I'm in a sarcastic family too. I have to go over everything that I post because I have to remind myself that sarcasm doesn't work online! But it sounds to me like yours and EBs temperaments fit together very nicely. Has he ever suggested that you have hurt his feelings during a moody spell? You are not a bad…

Diskwiss, no one wants to read your story about the haunted aviator sunglasses.

Well that's what I think too! If I ask someone for directions I'd like to think I'm not being led into a snake pit!

Diskwiss, are you someone I gave directions to once and you wound up lost inside the internet?

I think I understand your posts! I admit sometimes I do have to sound out some of your more creative spellings!

Diskwiss, is there gravity inside the internet or do you just sort of float around?

I cringe when people pull over in their car to ask me a question. I'm asked for directions a lot. I must look like I know where I'm going. Which is true! I do know where I'm going. I'm nearly always going to the forest, so if they want to ask me where the forest is, I can tell them. But they never do, they ask…

Diskwiss, you better not be wearing a red Make The Internet Great Again hat.

I never would have thought of ear cleaning as relaxing but you make it sound like the best thing in the world! What does she do exactly? Does she use Qtips?

Diskwiss, if you are actually trapped in the internet and want to escape, make our kitchen light flash on and off three times.
