2024-11-14 10:45:27 +0000 UTCOn another note, I'm sure you guys know of Dr. Strangelove. But the other movie on the marquee at the end was Fail-Safe. It's a classic, directed by Sidney Lumet (12 Angry Men). It's basically the serious version of Strangelove. I highly recommend it.

2024-11-14 03:36:53 +0000 UTCThe Twilight Zone movie came out a couple years before this, so the idea of rebooting The Twilight Zone was already there. Also around this time, Spielberg and NBC created Amazing Stories, so I think CBS figured they had to counter with their own anthology series. I remember there being a lot of hype for this first episode, but it kind of fizzled after that.

2024-11-13 21:52:08 +0000 UTCThat helped but what really bankrupted the Soviet Union was SDI (Star Wars) initiative. They were trying to beat and also establish the protection proposed in SDI themselves. Some say Reagan knew some of the things in the SDI were far fetched but the point was to make it credible and send the SU into a race to overtax their defense expendatures.

2024-11-13 21:51:21 +0000 UTCIn the 80s advances in cinematography and special effects meant remake wre light years ahead in terms of quality from their source material. It was only a matter of time as "remakes" have been in the theater, epic poetry, books, myths. In fact the concept wasnt even new to the 80s. There were 50s and 60s remakes of silent error movies- indeed the technology had improved that much. The thing is though we have more technology then ever there seem to be diminshing returns on remakes and that probably has more to do with the calculus of big budget studios, stuff being more algorithm driven then an actual decline in quality as there are many many more high quality independent or semi indepent movies and people making them on shoestring budgets which are more interesting, less "safe" but low aiming, then what Hollywood as an industry regularly banks on.

2024-11-13 20:46:42 +0000 UTCSometimes reactors can fall into a slippery slope of reflexively "reacting" or speaking about what they're watching when there is a real art to just staying in it and letting the silence or narrative unfiold and then commenting a little later. This gets lost on reacting channels a lot i feel bc the idea is that the reactors have to be constanly speaking as opposed to viweing and processingly INTERNALLY and then speaking. imo ;)

2024-11-13 20:45:21 +0000 UTCNote: Reagan pushed an adverserial military policy by reinitiating the arms race, the nuclear arms race being the biggest part of that, with the idea to force the soviets to go broke keeping up- which actually worked but at the time it seemed like the height of madness to many to try the win the cold war by further escalasting the risk of the nuclear confict. Of course one could say it didn't really work because thouse same countries though no longer communicat are just authoritarian fasict and technocratic and there is still the nuclear standoff and the M. A. D. Doctrine (deterrence through mutally assured destruction)
