ggrelet··on Why is it so hard to make digital fire look good?
If you are talking about W. Friedkin’s Sorcerer I suggest also to watch the original movie it’s a remake of: « Le Salaire de la Peur » by H.G. Clouzot
ggrelet··on Ask HN: Why has no one replaced Ticketmaster?
Afaik shotgun is specialized in nightclubs and electronic music festivals so I would say it’s not that big but it’s getting bigger.

Also, Ticketmaster influence wasn’t that big in France to begin with because many concert halls and arenas have their own ticketing website. Music events were also not that pricey compared to other neighboring countries, probably because the state pumps a lot of money in the music system.

Of course now we also have huge expensive festivals owned by Live Nation and the likes and the model is changing: festival are going from 30€ a day to almost 80€+

ggrelet··on Alien was released 44 years ago today
I'll forever remember the garbage setup I first saw Alien on: an old MacBook and its internal speakers, in a not-dark-enough room with friends. The seating was clearly uncomfortable, too. But how perfect that afternoon was. I was blown away for two hours, mouth wide open. For that reason I fear to re-watch it at all, fearing that 10 y-o experience would be tarnished a bit.

The sequels really are worth it, imo, with each director adding its own ideas and set design, photography, special effect etc... Please Hollywood do not destroy that franchise like LOTR, SW, Harry Potter etc with garbage reboots.

I had a similar experience in front of The Thing, but was in the theater this time.

ggrelet··on Tell HN: Tired of Hearing about ChatGPT
I got my dad to request an André Derain style painting of a cowboy riding a dodo bird. That image most probably didn't exist anywhere before the prompt. I can say the excitement was really real when the output came out! You just have to guide non-tech people into what the tool can do.
ggrelet··on How Aphex Twin Made Selected Ambient Works 85-92
Even though I love Daft Punk, Aphex Twin has way more bangers than them, probably in his back catalog only.
