I think "as a joke" is a wry exaggeration, unless I missed something significant in the story. Wong's rationale was "an artist can never step in the same river twice." Essentially that he wasn't interested in preserving his vision of the time, but instead used the restoration as an opportunity to reflect who he is as an artist now. I can understand feeling that way, but it's a pretty poo poo way to look at art.

We just closed the financing on a film I have been exec-producing for the past 18 months. It's shooting in Ireland now. Look out for it in about 18 months onwards - it should be fantastic: God's Creatures. It's directed by Anna Rose Holmer and Saela Davis, who did a film called The Fits a few years ago. It has the potential to be something special. I am now drafting my contract (yes, it should have been done ages ago but I operate on a high-trust basis with producers I work with), and am using the following: quote:The Company wishes to engage the Lender to make available to the Company the services of Richard Mansell as an executive producer (the "Executive Producer” or "Mad Dog") of the feature film project which the Company intends but does not undertake to produce provisionally entitled "GOD’S CREATURES" (the "Film") I have used "Executive Producer" and "Mad Dog" as defined terms interchangeably throughout the contract.

Also it's not just preserving his vision of time, it's also history. Wong lost footage of Happy Together and decided not to to reconstruct the missing footage from other sources because it would look off. Seminal HK New Wave film Dangerous Encounters of the First Kind exists with a third of it looking like a VHS rip from the bottom of the sea, but Wong Kar Wai could not handle 2 minutes looking off.

I suppose it's a cautionary tale about having a director directly supervise a restoration. Because once you open that door it's hard to close it again, you can't exactly go to Wong Kar-Wai and say "uhh sir, thank you so much for agreeing to work with us on this restoration but we decided your ideas are bad so we're gonna not use them". You're kinda stuck doing whatever the director wants at that point.

I wonder how many times someone at Criterion gently suggested to him that they also include the original version alongside the restored version.

I do think it’s interesting to see what directors change and tweak given the chance, but it should 100% always be packaged with the original cut.

I wouldn't be shocked if they knew everyone would say "old poo poo" and just planned on playing that anyway. I saw Harvey Danger on their final tour and they went the whole show without playing Flagpole Sitta, then during the encore they asked if anyone had any requests.

How much has the EU hosed up with vaccinations when Britain, the rectum of the universe, will achieve herd immunity next Monday months before the continent? Also Britain Part II AKA America is miles ahead on vaccinations. Despite being a notorious gently caress up on healthcare in general. It's really impressive how badly the EU handled it. Iceland is in the EFTA which is basically all the obligations of being in the EU with none of the power and a handful of the benefits. My ma who is 67, diabetic, with lung problems, and is a teacher just got her first vaccination yesterday after months of waiting. Hey at least thanks to neo-colonialism the Third World probably won't be vaccinated until 2023 at the earliest. FreudianSlippers fucked around with this message at 22:57 on Apr 8, 2021 |

In 2005 the biggest hand in Iceland was Jeff Who thanks to their indie rock party anthem Barfly. None of their other songs charted at all but they'd purposefully always play Barfly last during every set knowing that it what the entire audience was waiting for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5A8XOOEtXg FreudianSlippers fucked around with this message at 23:15 on Apr 8, 2021 |

Brexiteers were right about it and that was something that the Remain crowd never managed to reckon with.

America is way ahead on vaccinations because as lovely as we are about healthcare, the oligarchs that run the country want people healthy enough to go back to working way more than they need to. Also everyone else is doing badly on it partially because we bought as much as we could.

It's not that the US hoovered up the vaccines, but that the vaccine manufactures flat out lied about how many doses they could deliver, and are hiding behind IP to keep it scarce. The EU did contracts for what they believed would be enough doses to cover most the population of the Continent even before this Summer, but Moderna/Pfizer all went "dog ate my homework" even before a single dose had been delivered. This is in part why the EU is now constantly in fights with the UK and US, they want what was promised, but they getting gently caress all, cause turns out the EU is worth gently caress all. If the EU job was the well being of it's citizens, it would've broken those contracts and joined India, China, South Africa and others, to have those vaccines patents free and just have the state members begin produce it. But the well being of European citizens is not the EU job, the well being of European(French, Dutch, German) Capital is, so we can't have that. So here we are.

I'm going to necromance Jonas Salk along with history's greatest thieves, pirates and ne'er-do-wells—John Dillinger, Sir Francis Drake, Genghis Khan, etc.—to steal the COVID vaccine formula and publish it for free on the internet, while we murder anyone who has the balls to attempt to stop us. This summer, a force like no one's ever seen is prepared to vaccinate... and assassinate. CORONA SQUAD, rated R for disembowelment of rich executives and salty language.

News in Germany create the impression that distribution and administration of the vaccine is completely unbeaurocratic in the US. Like, there are drive through vaccinations and whatnot. At least one of the reasons Germany is doing so badly is that we absolutely have to make the whole process as red tapey as possible.

Safety Factor posted:I can only talk about my personal experience, but it varies state by state. Where I'm at it involved signing up through a website, providing personal info, ID, etc. All this was double checked in person. My vaccination site happened to be a drive through, but that's not always the case. It was run out of a metro park-and-ride lot with multiple vaccination stations. In my state I just checked the website for my local doctor's office and they had an appointment open so I booked the appointment and went in and said I had an appointment and then they gave me the shot.
