i'm not going to spoil more of the movie, it is an absolute masterpiece. cult worthy.
the first one so far where i was sad the 2 hours were over already.
wikipedia: "Salvador Dalí was approached in 1973 to design a Surrealist tarot deck for the film. However, his fee was too expensive for the film budget. Dalí kept working at the deck and released it in 1984."
there are many "The Man With The" movies, but this is The Man With The Golden Gun (1974). of course you think they mean bond with this, but the golden gun swinger is no one less than an "anti-bond" villain, played by christopher lee (dracula, lotr) a bizarro bond. a moustached bond without moustache.
this is trippy deconstructed bond. pairs well. out there and brimming with idiosyncratic choices. they give the audience what they want, and yet side against the myth. it's almost brechtian.

hervé villechaize (paradise island) is also in this, playing lee's surrogate son, i mean apprentice, i mean henchman.
we continue with The Spy Who Loved Me (1977). the title song is "Nobody Does It Better", performed by carly simon ("you're so vain").
german curd jürgens (the longest day) plays the baddie, named "stromberg". yes.
the typical bond orchestral theme is now spiced up with a funk band - complete with cowbell. groovy baby!
starts with a kickass basejumping stunt.

this movie is (or adds to) ground zero of the supervillain trope. it has the iconic henchman "jaws" (played by richard kiel), who has metal dentures, designed by katharina kubrick. stanley kubrick directed the lighting for one scene of this movie.
apropos "jaws": a shark is used to dispose of a supposedly traitorous secretary. this is the second time i have seen sharks used as weapons in this series.
we get to vacay in egypt and listen to egyptian funk. a lot of classical music references too.

@lritter what's really great is his estate sells a significantly more affordable version of the deck with an art book. I got mine in the mail today :3

@aeva it does not look affordable ;)

@aeva it does not look affordable ;)
@lritter remarkably it is only forty-three American dollars on amazon dot com (roughly the cost of two Rider-Waite tarot decks on amazon dot com), which admittedly is at the threshold where claiming it to be generally affordable carries a reasonable probability of causing contention. however I merely said "more affordable", as in, significantly more affordable than what Dalí tried to charge that bond movie.

@lritter frankly I'm shocked the Dalí estate didn't take this prime opportunity to outright swindle on the price. clearly they have lost sight of what Dalí stood for

@gdayitsjack @daedalus @ancoghlan hii sorry for the late reply! Besides being genuinely curious about the Australian foss community, I'm also curious about possible OSS job opportunities now or in the future. It's my third winter in Australia and everytime I come here I love it.

#Democrats #2024election #DNC C’mon Ken, release the report. I’ll recreate a summation of what I think is or should be in it: Democrats lost miserably to the most inept, narcissistic, egomaniacal presidential candidate in US history and to a fascist Republican Party because we focused too much attention on fundraising and piss poor messaging. This should never have happened. We should have acknowledged the pain voters felt from inflation. We ran candidates because the party elites hand picked them, not because Democratic voters wanted them. We put way too much emphasis on social issues without educating voters on what those social issues meant. We came across as preaching and browbeating voters and not empathizing with their pain. In short, we fucked-up. Anyone have anything to add?

"I genitori sono responsabili di tutto ciò che accade sul cellulare dei loro figli."
I bambini crescono in un ambiente digitale che spesso li sopraffà e li mette in pericolo, afferma l'educatore digitale Julian Bühler. Tuttavia, leggi e divieti più severi non risolveranno da soli il problema. Una discussione sulle chat in classe, sulla verifica dell'età online e su cosa può davvero aiutare
