im saying a restaurant gig is typically gonna be low key lounge music style rather than A Jazz Show. am i misremembering that the gig was a restaurant

Arc Hammer posted:

I actually can't remember, however as it it turns out my local theater is playing Whiplash next Thursday night. Can I get back to you by then to see if I've Mandela Effected myself on the scene?

So I just got back in. It was definitely more of a club/lounge than a restaurant, very small and cramped. The thing that stuck out to me more was Fletcher's completely asinine statement that jazz is dying because not enough psychopaths like him were abusing hundreds of people on their pathological quest to justify it all by producing a perfect musical machine.

Movie was still great and I completely forgot Paul Reiser plays Neeman's dad. There's definitely parts of the movie that read like Chazelle was writing an art student's revenge fantasy, particularly the scene where Neeman insults his cousins and his uncle for being loser sports sportsball jocks. That scene felt more like it was for the writer than it was for the movie. But on an acting and filmmaking level it's super fun to watch and the finale is terrific.

oh yeah the scene works even in a tiny little club because it reflects that people want just. normal chill jazz lol. you dont have to sacrifice yourself on the altar of double time swing to make music people want to hear

Its especially funny that for all his psychotic abuse to try and forge a new great musician, Fletcher himself only plays basic crowd pleasing elevator music when not conducting and hating every minute of it while bemoaning his self-described death of a musical genre. Bastard deserved it.

Certainly can. On the rewatch I like the way the film contrasts his piano plinking with how fast and brutal he makes Neeman play.

sure thats meaningful

i think part of what makes the story work is that a lot of jazz people literally are like that. as a sort of inherently competitive genre people get really weird brains when they take it seriously

1) homoerotic subtext between cell and goku
2) homoerotic subtext between goku and vegeta
3) trunks is an angsty guy with a sword
4) 17 when he exists
5) future gohan is hot
6) self-inserting onto the bulma/vegeta dynamic

This one just feels like a watered down version of what you could get in every other arc though?

You've forgotten the scene where Vegeta becomes a Super Saiyan by having an emotional breakdown about how he can't catch up to Goku.

Finished Ace Attorney Investigations 2 tonight and while I'm not sure if it's my favorite game in the series it's probably the most consistently great game in the series. All of the cases are good and all of them lead into the finale

Tbh the scene with Majin Vegeta where he gently slaps Goku after using energy rings to bind him was gayer.

the majin buu arc probably has the most of that but the seeds of it were planted in the cell arc

Pro tip: beat the game at least once before trying for no-hit medals on every boss, or you'll burn out quick

And don't forget: PoR has new game modes with two other character duos
