I think you will appreciate it more. I can see the mixed feelings on part 1, but part 2 to me is up there with his best. The premtaure burial, her training scenes, and then the finale are as good as it gets for me. Its a kung fu movie at heart

True. Maybe if I think of it as that more I can grasp it more. I generally like Kung fu movies to be honest.
Can you link the full playlist outside of spotify? Curious to hear the other tracks on there not on the official soundtrack. My favorite part in Once Upon a Time is the way he shits all over Bruce Lee. I know he always liked Sonny Chiba, etc, but to call Bruce Lee a glorified dancer cracked me up
I don’t know how to or if you can.
You have tidal? I’m currently rebuilding my playlists and can send it to you when I get to that one ha.
No worries, I can open it without a sub. Sorry, used to Tidal giving you just 30 seconds without paying
edit: looks cool without listening yet.
Okay sweet. Yeah I like it. Lots of 60s through 70s rock and pop basically ha. I obsess with building playlists.
But I get tidal hifi for free with sprint now so I’m rebuilding them all.
There are tools to automatically do it but, especially for this older music, there’s so many remasters and different versions that it kinda butchers it automatically. So I have to listen to like 5 versions of each song over and over to get the version I like most.
A tedious process but I love the music anyways and the journey is the fun part lol.

I’v ehad Tial long enough that switching would be a pain, but it’s definitely not as user friendly as it could be, and they don’t do enough to let people see the service the way Spotify does. If Tidal had Spotify’s features and suggestion algorithm, there’d be no dispute

True. I tend to use Spotify to discover music more because it’s interface and suggestions are way better. I have both fortunately. Spotify from a family plan my mom keeps me on ha. Then tidal for free with sprint.

Carve Her Name With Pride - A great movie about Violette Szabo, one of thousands of women who were trained as spies during WWII. It’s more romanticized than Odette but better written.
Withnail And I - This film has so many classic scenes of British film with incredible dialogue, like this one.
To Be Or Not To Be - Oddly enough, this Mel Brooks film is actually a remake.
But my favorite Mel Brooks film is and always will be The Twelve Chairs.

Please lets keep this thread alive. Surprisingly to me, you can apparently watch videos directly from imdb. You will get a few commercials, but its free otherwise. It’s not audio related in any way, but it let me watch an Allen Iverson doc I’ve not wanted to pay for prior. I’m very happy this exists even if it is limited in scope
Just finished “In the tall grass”. It’s another Stephen King adaption. It wasn’t particularly scary or exciting but it’s a bit spooky at times and has interesting ideas. I would give it a lukewarm recommendation if you’re looking for another horror Netflix movie to watch.
