Basic Instinct 1992 is Verhoeven trying to be De Palma who is trying to be Hitchcock

It is known that the best films from
Alfred Hitchcock were done during the days of
the code. The restrictions on nudity and graphic violence gave us iconic Hitchcockian moments like the shower scene in
Psycho, where Hitch pulls of a totally kosher psycho-sexual ejaculation of ultra-violence. When
the code gave way to the MPAA rating system, Hitchcock didn't really know how to react, producing mediocre films, giving way to directors like
Brian De Palma who stepped into his shoes, to give us, more-modern Hitchcockian thrillers like
Dressed To Kill. But by the end of the 80s, as De Palma stepped down from this Hitch-immitation role, and before
Robert Zemeckis ultimately took this title with his 2000 film
What Lies Beneath, there was also
Paul Verhoeven and his psycho-sexual thrillers, like 1992
Basic Instinct.

Seth Rogen is an interesting filmmaker. Sometimes I feel like he is a manifestation of me when I will be older. But to be honest it's just wishful thinking. Wait for my review on The Fablemans to understand why. Seth Rogen is Jewish. He looks kind of big. Sometimes directs movies. He has Ukrainian ancestry. And he is a fighter for Freedom. Basically me. No... Wishful thinking. I don't think I will get anywhere near as popular. Basically
Spielberg. Yeah that's better.
Citizen Kane feels like a Scorsese picture

Orson Welles ( born in 1915 ) being a 25 - 26 year old flipped the cinematic landscape upside down with his 1941 black and white film
Citizen Kane. A film that feels like a mandatory watch for anybody who is even remotely interested in cinema. People say that
Citizen Kane is the best film ever made and stuff. Almost forcing that film onto people in an uncomfortable way. Making you be sure that it is some sort of experimental, black and white extravaganza that you will not understand. And that it is way too old, for today's audience, to enjoy. And that to appreciate the qualities of the film, one needs to learn some academic bullshit and pay very strong attention, to try to understand why back in 1941 critics specifically, might have liked what they saw. The thought of watching
Citizen Kane feels like homework. But then you actually watch it.

So I Cleaned Up Some Spaghetti from Dani's Race Code

A few days ago I had told you that I'm stopping with making the police station in my game
Dani's Race because it had a
Spaghetti Code Problem. The
main() function in the
Main_Update.py file was 1683 lines of code long and contained way too many things in it. At the moment, the same function is down to 641 lines of code. This is still way too much stuff in the
main() but this is a hell of a lot of reduction.
