Yes and no. The main track was her actual singing, the backing track for the secondary voice was her but pre-recorded. You can tell when she gets the guitar but you can tell it's her on the main track again when she picks up with the main track again.

Everyday, I promote that view, where we would be better served getting these kinds of things preserved. It's just a sad reality that we're losing it because it just doesn't get the dollars…We're relying on kickstarter to save Dorothy's slippers and that's for a movie that is almost universally beloved and remembered.

That's the problem, it costs serious money to get even into the digitization phase and then you need to pay workers to conserve it till that point. It's not an issue of a lack of desire to transition, it's a lack of funds to make it happen.

It reminds me of how as a History grad student at Duquesne University I was exposed to our beloved film collection that is now basically one hot day away from blowing a hole in the library. It's not completely ruined but when I was there several years ago they estimated nearly a 1/3rd would be unusable and they just…

I'm saddened to hear of his passing. I remember him as a kid being part of that very-1980s edging into the 1990s comedians. He wasn't really raunchy so much as observational and definitely can see his successors like Jim Gaffigan taking up much where he left off. It's interesting how nobody has anything negative to…

that's kind of like pointing out we developed plate armor to stop slashing and piercing weapons then guns showed up. I mean, we only got relevant armor against guns in the 20th century (and really only got GOOD armor in the late 20th). Things are moving vastly faster here and It's a better metaphor to describe them…

That is depressingly frightening but this means we need to both broaden and deepen the internet's backbone. Too many bottlenecks, too many easy to attack targets..

I think that an eye for an eye is just but it is up to a person to make that decision at the end of the day. I'm also not into broad vigilantism for the record, I just can see how somebody would have a justified view and accept the recourse to go down that path.

Again, you're back to equating due process with justice. I would argue justice is broader than our narrowly defined societal standards even if our societal standards are the most broadly accepted. Your whole second paragraph was a literal rehashing my position, so clearly we're in agreement on what is our justice…

I have not streamed or listened to Lemonade at all yet I am fully aware of the parodic themes. Your excuse is not holding water.

You're using the word 'due process' as a sort of catch-all stand-in for 'justice' and 'righteous decisions' when it isn't. It's a specific legal definition to allow those accused to defend their position (whether it is of justification or outright innocence is up to them). Due process is important to our legal…

Mafia III was trying to set themselves apart by presenting a deep and rich story and there is always the threat of a movie if it does well enough.

Sometimes murdering the murderer is a just and founded position. Yes, it costs you a piece of humanity but there is always the people who will give it for the sake of others. I've been intrigued by it since it was announced since Mafia started out more or less as a GTA clone that was story heavy (where Saints Row…

So this is taking place outside of both the first two films' continuity and everything else? Regardless it looks good, I'm intrigued to watch it though it's clear with the closing moment of the trailer and the shovel, they've buried a dead Xavier…

and I can respect that position. :)

Or…How about it isn't a zero sum game and we afford both? :)

If we funded the smithsonian properly it would cost us each less than a dollar more in taxes but that's the point in this system.

That's the long-time debate in Public History. The point is that even if they have to replace the thread and some sequins, much of the shoe will remain original and the lining, heel, and sole will remain. It's better to have some of the shoe intact than lose it completely to antiquity.

To be fair, the entire hype of the film was him being the good guy….It's what drove the ENTIRE desire see a sequel. It was 7 years since the original one was made. That was a long time for a sequel back then. Nightmare on Elm Street had 5 sequels in that time, Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter was already the 3rd…

This trailer really smacks of how Star wars ushered in modern trailers in a way. This trailer was very 1970s, it didn't really seem to know much of anything and it's just something…
