Is the 35mm version of once upon a time in Hollywood better than the digital version?

It is a very well crafted movie, I don't think you will have any problems. In los Angeles, I have to go to a revival house to see an actual film projection, perhaps your location is different.

I remember an interior scene in a bar as perhaps the darkest scene, and it was still good looking.

My suggestion is to go with a good crowd in attendance, the communal shared experience is uniquely human and adds a lot to the experience.

I was glad the guy was not self indulgent in that way, and I found some of the other indulgences sly and entertaining.

There a lot of false mystique about the Manson family, posted on August 8, 2019 at 19:22:18

It probably could have something to do with a drug deal. Yes I was glad Q.T.didnt try to rehash the actual killings but changed history instead.

I didn't keep up, I think I was sixteen or seventeen at the time. One can say, if you ditch a deluxe pad in the hollywood hills so that the wrong crowd doesn't come around anymore, that is one wrong crowd.

I'm guessing the murders were a power trip, the guy was sore he didn't get a record deal, and took revenge at an old address in error, but had to dress it up as some cosmic insight super plan, so it wouldn't stink like plain old murder to his followers.

Of course, those guys, the gang, had a low trigger point, so I could be wrong. Did you catch the recreational sheet music used in the non murder house? Straight shooter, how odd.

That makes sense, insider subgroups are a common power device.

Back in the sixties, I was walking along , lost in teen aged thoughts, when this pretty girl offered a ride, which turned into going to a meeting at a house. I later came to believe this was a recruiting activity called flirty fishing, although I never solidly identified the group.

Me being me, I questioned the theology they presented after about the third sentence, until it was obvious they were nuts. I figured I wasn't getting laid when I saw it was a gathering of like minded thinkers, and I wasn't looking for life instructions, although I was told we were going to a church meeting. I didn't spend a lot of time getting out of there, but the argument was fun while it lasted.

While I am on the subject, I also disagreed with a scientology interviewer , also a very pretty female. She slammed her notebook shut and said this interview could continue when I was serious.

The crazy thing was that every year, for ten years, a two paged hand written letter was sent to my parents house, asking how things were going, stuff one would expect. I was working internationally and the letters caused my mother to worry, she asked if there was anything I wanted to tell her, she was afraid I had joined a cult. My mothers concern was kind of cute, considering the son she had raised, but I didn't like those nuts stressing my mother.

As you might know both manson and elron had studied some physiology for ways to exploit people in need.
