Figured I'd toss this out here for funsies. I'm a simple girl with simple interests.

Sadly, I am not a gay man. I am but a dang dirty yankee lady. You sound like a fun friend to have though! 💕

Frankly never played a TTRPG but always wanted to try. Can you give something harder though? "Doesn't mind a weird girl" is just a free space IMO.

Well, let's just say some Russian guy posted a 1080p colorized version of It's A Wonderful Life on Odnoklassniki the day before Christmas Eve last year and I just had to save it. It's a very good colorization too. Though I understand preferring the black-and-white version. There are some films that I deliberately archived the monochrome version of because it worked better for the look of the film. Thanks as well for the recommendations, I will take a look at them and try to get mp4's for the archive.

I thought the monochrome version was widely circulated, generally YouTube is where I see the gimmicky ai and colorization reconstructions. But yeah some movies are better in monochrome, I wouldn't see any of 50s Kurosawa in color, that's blasphemous.

I would recommend starting with what seems interesting to you and going from there. For example, I began my collection by saving noir films I'd found on Youtube. If you want to watch Sergio Leone, Clint Eastwood's films are fantastic and a classic of the Western genre, but my personal favorites is his "Once Upon a Time" trilogy, with: "Once Upon a Time in America", "Once Upon a Time in the West" and "Once Upon a Time in the Revolution" (otherwise known as "Duck! You Sucker!"). A massive reason I love Leone's pictures is their music, by Ennio Morricone. A great score is what elevates an already "outstanding" film to what I'd rate as "one of the best". Films such as the above mentioned, Napoléon (1927) and Gone With The Wind (1939) all have this. When the writing, screenplay, filming and soundtrack all come together, you feel it in the back of your neck that you are watching KINO.

Morricone is my favourite composer as well, in Leones case it's a lot more useful cause he edited in tandem with the music but in other cases the score is good while the movie isn't. Stuff like macchie solari or spasmo where the theme song is very good but the movie is not great. I found couple other good composers/songs through Italian movies as well.

@MsFrancisFoster I wouldn't recommend going though art movies in your first go cause it's easy to find them boring and pretentious. Instead surf the movie web through things you like, the things you already like are inevitably inspired by or connected to something older. Watch those then watch something connected to that and you'll start getting acclimated to older films that way, might even like older directors/styles. That's how I got in, I was obsessed with Tarantino as a teenager and from there I got to Leone and then everything else.

Reminds me of how Alan Guinness hated that people remembered him as "Obi Wan Kenobi" because of Star Wars blowing up like it did. Hearing that as a child, I understand that now as an adult. You ask me about Alan Guinness and the first role of his that comes to mind is King Charles I in Cromwell (1970). The fact that the man was in so much kino and gets remembered for some space fantasy movie is a pretty funny way of life to work out.

Alec Guinness I know for the Guinness Ealing comedies from the 50s and bridge on river kwai. It's similar to how zoomers like myself only remember Christopher Lee as count dooku when he's done tons more than that. Star Wars was like one of four films which defined new Hollywood and by extension the entertainment around the world.

To its credit, it's a very good colorization. On some vintage film Youtube channels I've seen colorizations that just aren't good and this isn't one of those. Very tastefully done. It's on the same level of quality as

I would prefer to upload some scenes but I'm having trouble clipping from my copy so stills will have to do.

On the topic of Morricone, I forgot to put them in my original post, but here are my favorite tracks of his:

Theme of "Once Upon a Time in the West":


"Love Theme for Nata" from "Cinema Paradiso":


Theme of "La Califfa":


Childhood version of "Amapola" from "Once Upon a Time in America":


Adult version of "Amapola":


"Deborah's Theme" from "Once Upon a Time in America":


Theme of "Duck You Sucker!":

One thing that really stands out to me with Morricone's music is just how beautiful his melodies are. I can whistle pretty well, and when I find myself alone in a silent place with good reverberation/acoustics for it, I will whistle the above tunes. It's a personal pleasure of mine.

I dont want to derail the thread further but @Lurker Child, Im pretty much the same, I learnt to whistle just to replay Morricone and Classical Music in my head, without using the phone. And yes I was obsessed with Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained for a very long time, theyre not that good anymore personally but rather my entry into cinemadom.

I saw this thread mentioned in the Duolicious discussion and thought why not make a bingo card? There has to be someone on this site who meets my bizarrely strict requirements. Fellas?

I wasn't sure if I should star the tabletop RPG one, because I've played a few games on skype with a guy I know but it wasn't a great experience (he's a terrible DM.) I feel like I'd easily like TTRPGs but I've never really had the chance to get into it. It's not easy when the only people you know actively doing games are like 30+ years older than you and have had their characters almost longer than you've been alive. It's like, wow, I'm a new character in the post-movie seasons of a TV show.
 
Mine are simple someone who loves 80's action, comedy and horror films and someone who doesnt mind my love for blasting Ram Ranch once per day.
 
What the heck. Here's a bingo card that I think will almost certainly get a hit or two from among this site's readership. It's a small one, so I expect my inbox to be flooded. Let's predicate some love.
