With all of the horror movies I watch, who would’ve thought that this terrifying scene would remain ingrained in my memory

Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project (2019) ⭐ 7.0 | Documentary, Biography, History

1h 27m | Unrated

m.imdb.com

Marion Stokes secretly recorded television 24 hours a day for 30 years from 1975 until her death in 2012. For Marion taping was a form of activism to seek the truth, and she believed that a comprehensive archive of the media would be invaluable for future generations. Her visionary and maddening project nearly tore her family apart, but now her 70,000 VHS tapes are being digitized and they'll be searchable online.

People like this are the true heroes*

*Asterisk because I haven’t watched. The fact that 1) she earned a documentary and 2) she had to tape secretly makes me think she may have been wildin’

Good?

Just finished it got caught up doing stuff last night. Overall documentary is 4/8, the story itself is interesting AF though, I would recommend watching it. She was a librarian in the late 50s coming up through wings of the socialist party. Was an early recruit for the communist party. Married up a few times became super wealthy. Was on the cutting edge of any new technology that came out specifically computers. Became obsessed with Steve Jobs got even more wealthy with the family money and her own by investing early in apple. Was a horder Had 6+ homes of stuff from newspapers at least one of every item apple had ever released, computers of all kinds, and obviously the 70000 VHS tapes. The amount of history and major events she captured in 35 years was . Her main goal starting out was to just document how the news was being told to us, started with Iran hostage situation and ended with sandy hook, and sandy hook was the day she died.

Oh yeah she was crazy in some genius ways definitely knew to be wary of technology and how you could be controlled. The reason she kept with VHS even after TiVo and DVR were invented wasn't just because she didn't want them to know what she was recording, but also because she was concerned about them being able to delete or alter anything she had recorded. Kind of how some streaming services are going back in and editing scenes, removing episodes, or restricting her access to the content

Weird way to put it. It's likely just that it's been over 2 years.

 

[Mark Antony]

Agree 1,0000%

Knock that ***** *** **** off.

The panic attack stuff was getting old. Also just hit me it was a nod to the incident.

Right. The slap was lame and something I’ll always associate with Will to some extent. But I also never felt it was something unforgivable and impossible for people to move on from.

Yeah not his best moment, and in a way I still feel bad for Chris because of the mental implications, but at the end of the day it was an altercation between two grown men, over two years ago and no one was seriously hurt or killed.

It does seem pretty insane just to say out loud that Will Smith slapped Chris Rock for making a joke and then later in the evening won the most prestigious honor for an actor in Hollywood.

Will was insane for that.

 

[pmatic]

I think Will had every right to slap Chris for talking about Jada.

 

[CP1708]

Will should just slap Caitlin Clark and end the internet for good.

I didn't think about Chris once. That was Mike Lowry.

Just finished Hit Man. Hell yeah. Eiza twin lookin girl def worth all that. Whew. Loved that they added extra's to the film but showed the truth later. 6/8

Big trash, 0/10


Currently first time.

Hit Man took a real turn at the very end.

One of the studios should've bought this movie. But then again, would audiences have come out for a movie like this?

 

[x Buddha Bless x]

Nope

 

[Nike Jordan]

Happy 40th anniversary to Ghostbusters.

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

 

[el presidente]

Never saw these. They don’t add much to the movie but still pretty cool

On a budget of 8.8million I absolutely think so

Not saying it makes Dune money but it would’ve cooked for sure in theaters especially with the momentum powell has rn

Five Nights at Freddy’s was literally terrible, Malignant was fun and will seem like a 10/10 after that

[rolaholic]

All the galaxy brain thinkpieces about 'will audiences forgive the slap' were out of touch as hell

Nobody gives a damn about any of that.

Even the notion that he needed a comeback after that sounded so stupid when he won best actor for his last role prior

 

[Nike Jordan]

Will Smith is still a movie star in 2024. Who would have thunk?

I said it two years ago and I'll say it again:

Will Smith accumulated enough goodwill (no pun intended) over his career that "The Slap" wasn't going to end it.

 

[x Buddha Bless x]

I just want him to have another undeniable acting performance where the academy is forced to nominate him again……..








…………. And then he wins and Jada accepts the award on his behalf
