We’ve often described this as “…the best film you’ve never heard of.”

What is this wizardry you speak of? [begins Google session]
Nifty!

Perhaps the L.A. Times or Variety or Hollywood Reporter could be added?
😏
No, you definitely were NOT the target audience–but I was. That’s why I enjoyed it so much… 😏
BOOGIE DAYS. A BOOGIE NIGHTS prequel. Limited series. How did Jack get into the business? Where did he meet Maggie–and Little Bill? Eddie in middle school. Maurice’s back story. Etc. One episode for each character?
Give Paul ALL the money to write and direct.
I’d watch the shit out of that show.
I rarely missed an episode of their shows over the years. If they both liked a film, I almost always did as well. I much preferred Rogers’s opinions–and personality. Gene always struck me as being kind of a mean grump.
I didn’t take a lot of pictures, but here’s a short vid showing some of the restoration: https://youtu.be/xYCuATQ_2DY
I have a friend with FIVE CATS. I worry about her sometimes… Paula Poundstone has…12? 13? 14? I worry about her, too.

Well that’s interesting. I’ve read more than one place the having uBlock Origin is “enough” and that adding Privacy Badger is overkill. I’ve also got AdGuard Home running on a Pi-4. I failed all three tests with Vivaldi Nightly and Arc Browser–both with uBO installed…
Simply adding Privacy Badger to the existing setup, suddenly I had “strong web protection”.
[edit] Firefox passed without having to add Privacy Badger.
Possibly my favorite film, full-stop, I’ve watched it probably 50-ish times. I was a little trepidatious about watching this fan edit. It was an odd experience–but in a good way: New, but at the same time, very familiar…
it’s very professionally done–if you were seeing the film for the first time, nothing would feel ‘artificial’ or tacked-on.

That’s oddly about the time I started to become disenchanted with most contemporary cinema. Both parents worked in the Industry, dad was a voting member of the Academy for many years. The Oscars were–no exaggeration–the Holiest night on our family calendar. I even got to attend in person once. (The one where Benigni climbed up on the furniture–'99.)
Then THE ARTIST won best picture (2011). 🤦♂️
I stopped watching the Oscars completely about 5 years ago. The only enthusiasm I can muster anymore is new films by old masters (PTA, Scorsese, Tarantino, etc.)
Has anyone mentioned BARRY LYNDON yet?
