What I'm watching (Series 2)

Excellent, I’m now expecting copious kit off moments and a decent car chase. :red_car:

I should have added frustration due to lack of kit off moments. It comes to something when a man has to use the pause button and his imagination. Effort really is a vulgar thing, we wouldn’t have put up with it in the Raj.

Inevitably.

Still not seen it

Should think it’s on YouTube by now - definitely worth it.

Very much worth it. He died a few days ago, a timely view

A similar music ‘re-discovery’ biopic film has record nerds conflicted currently

Why? What is the conflict about?

Long story. Most of the research and hype around Dreamin’ wild was done ten+ years prior on a forum. The reissue Co’s ‘discovery’ was actually from this particular forum as opposed to an Indiana Jones type gold strike that’s being suggested. A spicy capitalism enema for some. Personally I think the LP has it’s moments.

I can see a film in thirty years time about the broken dreams of a forum :slight_smile:

On the back of Sugarman there are literally thousands of examples of musicians faded dreams come good (Re issues / film profitable film syncs etc). Not sure the same applies to hifi forums? Perhaps it’s inverse? Maybe a documentary on midlife crisis, dissatisfaction & OCD?

It’ll be a blockbuster :slight_smile:

I was just referring to the forum you mentioned who i guess are feeling agreived they didn’t get a mention from the film producers re Dreamin Wild.

However, the idea of a film, or maybe a Louis Theroux style doc about the trials and tribulations of hifi and fora is strangely exciting.

Hahah, Louis Theroux / Clouseau / Columbo would all make sound investigators. Perhaps Jessica Fletcher clutching her pearls every two seconds in appalled fear would be entertaining?

Not sure about that, but forums everywhere - like their aging, 99%-male participants - are fading back into the obscurity and irrelevance from whence they came. The internet is becoming ever more commoditised and interaction is declining - the fiddliness of 'phones means most people have shifted to 100% consumption, rather than contribution. Even poking a “Like” button is too much effort now…

Along with message-boards and imageboards, they were the frontier towns of the internet’s wild west, so I guess one day, when they are but a memory, there really will be a story to be told…

The bunkhouse scenes, whether it be in a SW valley all but unreachable by phone or in a W Yorks dale, might need some sanitising if you’re thinking of this ever going on general release.
