I thought Joaquin did great in the role! But I’m a big PT Anderson fan.
I feel like I should be a bigger one, and There Will Be Blood is my favorite non-nostalgia movie ever (Top Gun, Jurassic Park, Keaton Batman will always be sentimental favs). I did like the take on IV though, despite Joaquin. I just expected someone a little more clumsier and inept and for it to play on that subtle physical comedy more, because that’s how the character read to me in the book. More bumbling crackpot, less intensity.
But Licorice Pizza was a real mess despite the two leads’ great performances. It didn’t really DO anything but provide that one interesting psychological scene where he’s on the phone wheelin amd dealin and she tries belittling him by acting like a child herself, then he smokes the cigarette and takes her car. I found that part compelling, but struggling to remember much else and I only watched it a month ago.
I actually haven’t seen Licorice Pizza yet but I’m still excited to watch it. Is it streaming anywhere? It never came to the theaters around here.
TWBB is excellent but my personal favorites of his are Punch Drunk Love and The Master. Did you like Phantom Thread?
I LOVED Phantom Thread. DDL is so hilarious at the dinner table scene at the end. Always in perfect control of his face and speaking/delivery. Some say he’s a great actor, but I think of him as the greatest ham on earth, and I mean that in the best way possible. He’s so loud about being subtle. He knows he is playing to an audience, even if they aren’t live and he himself can’t feed off of them. And he loves every second of it; it’s like a constant wink to the audience to be in on this completely self-aware display of a mastery of skill. At times, it reminds me of Prince’s supreme confidence on stage to run the gamut from smug badass to pleading maniac to funky sex fiend.
Haven’t seen the master. I wasn’t into Punch Drunk Love at the theater when it came out so I don’t remember much. Just leaving the theater often to get another beer in those early days of drinking where its a rush to hit that peak buzz.
I approve of this literary review.
I had a professor who was like a screaming teenybopper at a Beatles show as far as TP was concerned- “I just interviewed the second cousin of a woman he once dated at Cornell!”

I get what you mean, and agree with you.
Another great example of this is his performance in Gangs of New York.
Agree with those points fully! Now I need to rewatch it again as I haven’t seen it since it’s release.
I can’t recommend The Master enough. One of the greatest films of the last 20 years, imo. My affinity for PDL is probably partially tied to my love of Hoffman and Sandler but it’s an all time favorite for me.
I was spellbound by "There Will Be Blood" and liked "Punch-Drunk Love", but have been largely bored by his other movies. "Phantom Thread" gave me a pounding headache, even though I've generally liked the work of Daniel Day Lewis.
Even Boogie Nights?
That one didn't really impress me either.
I have to say, the MS20 wasn’t built the best and it’s hard to replace parts on it because some don’t fit right.
Still mine is at 44 years old and all caps are still fine. It’s probably never even been recalibrated either.
Not the video I remembered but there's one on the same subject:
In the 90s at the dawn of house music, I bought my first second hand drummachine, Yamaha RX7, sounded pretty crap and useless, bought a keyboard sampler with flippy drive, Amiga for sequencing, sold it and bought the awesome Prophet VS with messed-up presets, no manual or internet to seek advice. But the most beautiful thing. I had a tr606 and tb303, what a plastic cheap things they where. I had a Korg MS10, again no manual, had no idea where to plug in what. Nordlead, Akai sampler, DAT recorder. I remember you had to figure out a lot for yourself, it was the beginning days of the internet so no forum you could go to and ask for help. It was crazy expensive to just collect a basic set of equipment to make tracks. I loved tweaking real gear, but the possibilities we have on the iPad and PCs is just something I could only have dreamed of back then. A Prophet VS was 3000 bucks back then, I can buy the damn thing now for 10 in the app store!
I'm sure there's a lot more to answering the question. But at least part of it would be that if you loved playing hardware you might not have too ask the question.
Feedback, distortion, transients, distortion, overdrive, distortion, ...
For a polyphonic closed up synth, I can mostly agree that the simulations are pretty much there. But for a patchable mono synth, I can do all sorts of stuff that the simulation isn't going to be ready to handle and the analog version won't have any problems with (as long as I don't overdo the voltage).
@Pynchon said:
I think this is an erroneous claim re the Behringer clones. I know that at least the Minimoog clone is all analog, having seen inside it.
Yeah, the clones are clones. They are analog and Behringer has gone to the point of recreating some of the analog IC's that have been lost. The only parts on the clones that are digital are the USB connections and the MIDI-to-CV converters.
Some of the new little mini boxes are digital, but as far as I can tell, those are clones of digital synths.
BTW, I have all sorts of analog components in my parts drawers. Most all of them are from places like China, Viet Nam, Senegal, etc. IC's, op-amps, transistors, and passives, don't really care where they are made.
Ah, I remember this one! Excellent work from Jakob (and shouts to Kai!). Thanks!
Moog effects are now on Mac OS.
IOS? Yes or no? When?
They said they can’t yet recreate the modular connectivity between the effects in the iOS audio environment (aka AUM or a DAW). I wouldn’t hold your breath for them.
Although it's probably a safe bet that others will attempt to duplicate them.
It’s not just the sound but also the physical interaction.
There’s not a synth emulation available that is more fun and inspiring than the hardware. Running an emulation with a MIDI controller is just not the same thing either. I have had hardware versions of several synths that have iOS/desktop versions. I find them disappointing. (Odyssey, Mono/Poly, M1, CZ-101, ESQ-1, SH-1, MC-202 among others…)
😎👍🏼
The annual how long is a piece of string debate, it’s whatever works for you, simple as.
The only way I can explain it is to say if you don't know then you probably don't need the hardware.
Hybrid. Different experiences entirely, but complementary. I am a random amateur at both, but I know the AUM workflow well enough that if an outcome is my aim, I can be up and running in seconds, and probably have a track not long after. Even in bed, or at the breakfast table.
The modular is more - a physical meditation. Try this. Tweak. Try that. Try again. The loveliness of physical knobs. The Mad Professor thrill of ‘what happens if I plug this into that?’ It may or may not result in something that I take into the iPad for more messing, but the journey is its own reward.
I think I will be still exploring my modular in years to come, unto death or loss of marbles. (Not Marbles - that’s a keeper!). Can’t say that for many apps, AUM excepted.
It is exploration, problem solving, a frustrating, delightful puzzle. Very, very occasionally… music, too!
It’s a great way to live, learn and love.
My eBay feed is filled with cheap Behringer machines:
Odyssey
Poly D
Deepmind 6….
I was (still am) so close to getting the above but I’ve been there already and I’m old enough to distinguish the ‘sweatshop effect’ from the real need. I’ve bought stuff before and after the honeymoon period of 2 weeks (being generous here) I’d go back to messing with my iPad.
I’m so much stronger now that I have Drambo. I can build stuff that Deepmind users can only dream of without all the menu diving. In fact more than anything else it is about identifying the bottleneck which in this case is the small screen and with others the inability to save presets.
Another one would be portability.
So no, I’m standing strong!!! 😬
Looks like the dirty old tree has some massive wood hanging down to his knees too! Baby elephants arm or what!
There are many advantages to Drambo/apps.
No cables
No sync issues
Total recall
Better sequencing
Etc. etc.
It’s nice to have one analog mono though.
I tried an MS-20 at the Sound Parcel in Easton, PA. The difference between touching an MS-20 app and feeling actual physical knobs was night and day.
This.
Not necessary in any way but really nice!
