Ax’s lame movie recos and cool YT picks

“Chaos Theory” … it’s drama/rom-com (definitely not SciFi), released in 2008.

Nice, thoughtful movie, actually; about the choices one made in life, love, fatherhood, randomness in life etc.
It stars Ryan Reynolds before he developed his motormouth style of acting. -
The Powerpuff Girls … two AI-generated reimaginations using 1950’s aesthetics, don’t know about you, but I like the first version a lot more than the second:
-
Old Onion, maybe a solution to cope with rising rent:

Peter Bence’s original piece:
Link to videoI have wondered for a long time what a Peter Bence’s original composition would sound like. Now I finally have an answer.
-
Flights of the Bumble Bee, piano solo.

Very solid performance, no gimmick. -
Another one by the same artist:
Link to videoNot as bombastic or idiosyncratic as some one like, say, Peter Bence, would do it, but still a very respectable, enjoyable transcription and performance. It hues very close to the original, too.

Nice movie, like John Wick as a teenage medieval princess.

Historical perspective, Ireland, 1967:
Link to videoInteresting comment: “I love how they expressed themselves without fear of making an internet mob angry.”
Of course, it was 1967 and there was no Internet yet. -
Interesting video

One of the best film ever created, IMO:
Link to videoYeah, it’s animated; but even if it’s life action, the emotion, the plot, the story telling, the direction, the cinematography, the dialogue, the action design, the background music … every aspect is top notch.

For sure computer aided manufacturing is used, still amazes me how much hand-crafting is needed to make the final product.

Same piece, performed by two different orchestras. Beautiful composition, sonorous orchestration. But comparing the two recordings, this is my impression:
The first one is the better orchestra, generally more seasoned musicians, but it sounds like they have not put in enough rehearsal time to tighten things down.
The second one sounds like it has put in more rehearsal time, but it still shows that the orchestra/musicians are not as skilled/seasoned as the first one.
The music deserves the first orchestra's caliber with the second orchestra's rehearsal time.

Weird houses, unusual living.

You can feel free to skip over the commentary and just watch the actions.
