I recall one reviewer saying that by the time it was over you will feel as if you had been operated on by quacks!    Posted:   Feb 18, 2017 - 8:00 AM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) I really do appreciate everyone hipping me to the fact there are subtle, psychological films out there. I had no idea. The only films I've seen are buddy films with car crashes. There's such a big world of film out there - I need to broaden my cinematic horizons and learn to appreciate more.    Posted:   Feb 18, 2017 - 8:13 AM     By:   RoryR   (Member) I really do appreciate everyone hipping me to the fact there are subtle, psychological films out there.

Like appreciating upgrading to a DVR? Are you really still taping things, or was that just an expression? As for COMA... I'm kind of with you. It's dated and not as thrilling as it once seemed. In general, I think the works of Michael Crichton are rather overrated. If it wasn't for the Goldsmith score, and the attraction I still have for the young Genevieve Bujold, I wouldn't be here talking about COMA. BTW, Tom Selleck is in COMA and looks great, but have you seen him lately in "Bluebloods"? Jesus, time is a bastard.    Posted:   Feb 18, 2017 - 8:29 AM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) Like appreciating upgrading to a DVR? Are you really still taping things, or was that just an expression? Do you work in media by any chance? The verb is still frequently used, just as the term "cable" is used by the US State Department, even though the information is not conveyed by cable any more. I am not sure if there is a one-syllable word for "recording" other than "tape."    Posted:   Feb 18, 2017 - 9:40 AM     By:   Nicolai P.

That's what we're all here for.    Posted:   Feb 18, 2017 - 10:18 AM     By:   RoryR   (Member) Like appreciating upgrading to a DVR?

The verb is still frequently used, just as the term "cable" is used by the US State Department, even though the information is not conveyed by cable any more. I am not sure if there is a one-syllable word for "recording" other than "tape." I say I "recorded" it, or I'll just say, I "DVR'd" it. But I'm always aware when someone in a movie or show will be looking at a digital recording and will say, "Rewind that."    Posted:   Feb 18, 2017 - 10:41 AM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) I say I "recorded" it, or I'll just say, I "DVR'd" it. But I'm always aware when someone in a movie or show will be looking at a digital recording and will say, "Rewind that." In media, people still use the word "tape." Similarly, many native Spanish speakers who also speak English, when speaking Spanish will use the words "so" and "yet" instead of "entonces" or "todavia," because the English equivalents are shorter.    Posted:   Feb 18, 2017 - 10:43 AM     By:   Sean Nethery   (Member) I work in radio, and we say "tape" and "taping" all the time for digital recording. Even twenty-somethings who have probably never worked with an actual piece of tape. Some terms stick and evoke long after their origin.    Posted:   Feb 18, 2017 - 11:50 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) So I guess the film put OnyaBirri into a coma?    Posted:   Feb 18, 2017 - 12:53 PM     By:   Essankay   (Member) So I guess the film put OnyaBirri into a coma? I suspect that it was the beverages.    Posted:   Feb 18, 2017 - 3:55 PM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) I suspect that it was the beverages. If you read through the chronology, you will see that I had one drink prior to the film, and a second during the first 45 minutes. I had not moved onto the third until after I had given up on the film.    Posted:   Feb 18, 2017 - 6:08 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) I will start by saying I appreciate the good humor with which Onya is taking all our comments.    Posted:   Feb 18, 2017 - 6:11 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) If your are wondering whether I can follow subtle, slowly paced films, you may be confusing me with a different albino koala. Albino = white koala = marsupial, Australian, or smells like a giant cough drop Not following you here, Onya Dah-link!    Posted:   Feb 18, 2017 - 6:14 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) So, we're scrolling through the list, and we see "Coma." Neither of us has seen it, it is from the 70s, and the LP, as I've noted elsewhere, almost comes off like a giallo score..... My Italian dictionary says giallo means "yellow", but I'm like your Koala Connection, I'm not making this connection. Your vocabulary is bigger than mine, Onya, so you'll have to 'splain to me what is a "giallo score."    Posted:   Feb 18, 2017 - 6:16 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) I really do appreciate everyone hipping me to the fact there are subtle, psychological films out there.

Check out THE STAR WARS, and some of those STAR TRACK movies.    Posted:   Feb 18, 2017 - 6:19 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) Similarly, many native Spanish speakers who also speak English, when speaking Spanish will use the words "so" and "yet" instead of "entonces" or "todavia," because the English equivalents are shorter. Interesting. I recall just the opposite: hearing "entonces" and "este" amidst English.    Posted:   Feb 18, 2017 - 9:12 PM     By:   Essankay   (Member) If you read through the chronology, you will see that I had one drink prior to the film, and a second during the first 45 minutes. I had not moved onto the third until after I had given up on the film. To placate his wife my beloved alky great uncle promised to restrict his intake to one drink per day. That turned out to be one massive tumbler filled to the brim.    Posted:   Feb 18, 2017 - 9:42 PM     By:   Viscount Bark   (Member) So, we're scrolling through the list, and we see "Coma."
