I have been considering adding music to the old episodesThe Argonaut wrote:I did actually just listen to it at 2.3x and it isn't that bad. I say relatively smart things. And I feel like if it had outro music like the new episode, the ending wouldn't even be that awkward. Who convinced me that it was terrible? That wasn't nice.

Below is a transcript of the final minute of Argo's SCV episode.
LV: *gives a long response to something Argo said*
Argo: Oh, God.
*both men giggle.*
*weird moment of silence*
LV: Ah, well.
*beat*
LV: That's a... place to end, I guess.
Argo: Okay. Very good. Good job, Jordan.
LV: Yeah. Yeah. Well, thanks for doing this.
Argo: Uh, yeah, thanks for asking me. Sorry I was not very good at it.
LV: You were fine.
Argo: *frantically* Okay. No no no no no. Don't.
LV: Calm down.
Argo. That's not what I'm saying. Alright. Enough.
LV: Alright. Well.
*beat*
LV: Goodbye.
Argo: Goodbye. *giggles*

I was ready to talk about Zack Snyder and saw an opening when LV mentioned his BVS piece but didn't pursue it

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I was hoping to hear you guys discuss Marvel films in depth. I'm not sure exactly why, but I feel like I really would have loved that debate/conversation.

Re: Sharing Cinematic Values #7: theplatypus
Also, Jorge, have we ever talked about Almodovar? Do you have any feelings one way or the other about his work?

Re: Sharing Cinematic Values #7: theplatypus
I am kind of on the fence about Almodovar. Just something about his aesthetic and overall tone and recurring themes just doesn't connect with me. I remember liking All About My Mother and Talk to Her when I watched them, but it's been a while. Everything else I've seen of his, I've reacted to with indifference or mild annoyancedurdencommatyler wrote:Also, Jorge, have we ever talked about Almodovar?

Gotcha. That sounds familiar. Maybe we have talked about it before. I can totally see why his stuff wouldn't connect, though.theplatypus wrote:I am kind of on the fence about Almodovar.

I also vaguely resent how he's become kind of the go-to Spanish language director in the international stage. Really, that guy? OK!durdencommatyler wrote:Gotcha. That sounds familiar.

Totally. I certainly don't think of him that way, but I also think that's a little weird.theplatypus wrote:I also vaguely resent how he's become kind of the go-to Spanish language director in the international stage.
