@bassbuyer , +1! Yeah, that did make me laugh. Particularly the desk top scene. Michael Keaton played his part excellently.
Movie/film suggestions.
While this is of course a forum for the discussion of all things audio/hi-fi and music, pretty much all of us are also lovers of movies, the enjoyment of which is effected by the reproduction of the sound they contain (with the exception of silent movies 
).
I've been focused on David Lynch movies since his death, but with current events so much a part of our lives at the moment, I plan on re-watching a movie I’ve seen only once, and years ago. That movie is:
The Madness Of King George. Apropos, no?

I was thinking of commenting on this subject after reading the original question. The OP appeared to me to originally ask,’’Pretty much all of us are lovers of movies’’… ‘The reproduction of sound they contain’’ From a technical viewpoint and being from a cinema presentation background my answer would have been so off track from what’s been posted. l would have commented on films with great sound design….effects and ambience that bring films to life. |
@mylogic: To be perfectly honest, my original motive for the thread was to make a joke about the current head of the U.S. government, my choice of The Madness Of King George being made for the obvious reason. Plus I do actually like the movie. My mention of hi-fi’s being used to reproduce the sound of movies was done as a somewhat contrived and disingenuous rationale for the thread. It worked, ’cause the thread didn’t turn ugly, or get deleted. That the thread turned into a discussion of movies/films in general is fine with me! I’m just glad it didn’t turn into a political argument, which was NOT my intent or desire. I see no point in those, as no one’s mind is ever changed by arguing, and lots of negative energy is created. Plus, this is an audio/hi-fi forum, not a political one. Yes, my original post had a political issue at it’s core, but at least it was offered in (hopefully) good humour. My model for political satire is Stephen Colbert, who very effectively mocks his intended targets.

@mylogic , I think your opinions would be very interesting, especially given your background. Looking forward to reading them...
