Everything and anything can be overdone, I guess.

Political Correctness, #MeToo, Free Range Kids... Current 'pet peeve' is warning labels/lawyer speak. Unmitigated risk aversion is the new Puritanism; complete with witch hunts, funny outfits, and humorless preachers thundering doom. The name of the Deity is changed to Safety; the name of Satan is changed to Lawyer; but the object is the same: to suck the life out of life and tell you how to live it.

Sorry for getting so far off topic.

So the story with Tombstone (1993, starring Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, Sam Elliot, Bill Paxton, Powers Boothe, Michael Biehn and Dana Delaney) is that the director, George P. Cosmatos, was fired, and Kurt Russell stepped in and directed the film. As a result, he shifted the main focus of the film away from Wyatt Earp, though his character and relationships get considerable screen time, and onto Doc Holliday and his relationships, especially re: his mistress and Wyatt.

As a result, the new directing and editing gave Kilmer the vehicle to display what I think is the finest acting of his career.

And Ringo. his decimation of Ringo throughout the film is flipping epic.

can you explain why the last one is on that list?
"How to raise safe, self-reliant kids without going nuts with worry" and "Children deserve unsupervised time" sounds pretty good to me.

Sure. Society's 'control' of how people raise their kids is the excessive part. I'm a free range kid from 50's America, before that style of parenting needed a name.

Which led into the risk aversion thoughts.

Not at all; truth be told I stole it from somewhere I can't remember now.

You give me too much credit. Copy/paste. Often choosing something that relates to the posting.

i see.
looked it up on wikipedia.
i didn't know it's a "Thing".
making that your bible probably isn't so good either.

all in moderation, i'd say.

oh.
i think at some point i'd vowed to use only original content, but this definitely wouldn't be the first time something "slipped past".

I tried reading/parsing this several times, no grok. Call me a socially stunted nerd/geek.
Can't figure out what "that" refers too:
-->"making that your bible"
And
Which you is meant by "your":
-->"making that your bible"

"your" as in me, the original poster or
"your" as in one:
e.g: making that one's bible

Care to elaborate?

all in moderation, i'd say.

On that we have unanimous agreement.

^ i guess my weak grasp on english shows there.
what i wanted to say:
making any one Thing (with a capital T) one's blueprint for - life, raising kids, whatever - isn't really so healthy. not for you (the one), not for the kids.

in the end "it depends" is the only credo i have.

Kirsty: I didn't open the box!

Female Cenobite, slowly rotating: Didn't open the box. And what was it last time?... Didn't know what the box was. And yet we do keep finding each other, don't we?

Pinhead, also rotating: Oh, Kirsty! So eager to play. So reluctant to admit it!

Female Cenobite: Perhaps you're teasing us. Are you teasing us?

Kirsty, screaming: I've come for my father!

I'll make a bold statement... Given that Blade Runner is in a league of its own in this category, the best movie audio is Rollerball (1975, Andre Previn conducting the London Symphony Orchestra).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FR8HWfzVPLE

Rollerball also wins the prize by a mile for best use of fonts in a movie.

Jaws (1975), John Williams and the LSO with music by John Williams, is objectively a better music pick, by more than a mile.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtDleusg9ew

I take it back, it's not even close. Rollerball>Jaws.

Blade Runner, any version. You can smell the dystopia and Vangelis.

-edit- So, theory... this next shot I'm posting, at the beginning of the film, is setting up and foreshadowing a lot. Flying cars, Corporate Power... but those translucent diamonds on the left of the shot, those are Zora's snake scales in the bathtub, which results in Deckard's detective work, and finally the assassination.

And here is my evidence, may the court admit it.

Excalibur (1981, John Boorman director, producer, co-writer). The whole damn movie is a screenshot. A few from the first four minutes of the film...
