Movie/film suggestions.
While this is of course a forum for the discussion of all things audio/hi-fi and music, pretty much all of us are also lovers of movies, the enjoyment of which is effected by the reproduction of the sound they contain (with the exception of silent movies 
).
I've been focused on David Lynch movies since his death, but with current events so much a part of our lives at the moment, I plan on re-watching a movie I’ve seen only once, and years ago. That movie is:
The Madness Of King George. Apropos, no?
Flashback scenes of course! That’s a must. Smoke filled bars with with the townies, weird New England locals that Casey Affleck would hang out with. I think we are obsessed with this. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/movies/best-movies-21st-century.html the Departed is highly ranked

It would be an epic, @gano . (Would you consider Alec Baldwin for Hank Brennan?) |
I have mixed feelings about Baldwin since Rust @immatthewj I don't know if it has to be so star studded :) But Brennan has such a British look, I would probably look for someone from across the pond.

I like Baldwin and see him as another versatile actor (I really liked him in The Departed), @gano , but shortly after I posted I reconsidered. Not because I think the actor playing Brennan has to have a "British look", but I think he has to have an authentic "Boston sound." (For example, Brennan’s trademark "lawer" for law/"sawer" for saw.) After thinking about it, Baldwin seems to be a bit too polished for that role. But I did like what he used to do on SNL when he was portraying you-know-who. |
