The first Dirty Harry is in 1971. It contains n-words, but it also has people frowning on their use.

That word has an odd history in the cultural zeitgeist. It lost its power pretty much to the point in the early 2000s white folks were saying it in movies like Scary Movie 3 or White Chicks as punch lines.

but around 2015 with the BLM stuff, it’s gotten new life into it by the youth and zealots to the point now if you have any recording of you ever saying it, you’re fired from any future jobs.

I did a modeling gig in 2013 where I was painted entirely black like a creepy statue, not brown, not black face, lips, hands, hair, everything was jet black (like a monster from the evil dead or something). I’ve had to delete it due to pleading from my wife in case it ever comes back to haunt me by hammers looking for a nail.

it reminds me of the line in 1984, where Orwell says that the biggest advocate for submission to party regulations are the children and the young women.

meanwhile, the things they can do to actually make a difference gets left ignored (volunteer at local elderly home or animal shelter, pick up trash at your local park, stop using single-use plastics, serving a local charity or enlisting in the national guard reserves, etc). Those retards just focus on whatever gets them the most virtue signal upvotes opposed to making a real tangible difference.

Historically, when shooting in film you just have no idea of what you have until the film is printed. So you hope the cinematographer did a good job measuring the light, the focus puller did not mess-up and the camera operator caught any and all problems peering through the viewfinder. If not, you discover that the next day and do not necessarily have the luxury of reshooting stuff. The '60s and '70s is I believe the moment video assistance becomes a thing, allowing for the director to monitor in real time what the film camera is capturing and also making it possible to immediately review a take.


Jerry Lewis was the first director to come up with Video Assist. Can't remember off the top of my head which movie it was, but he was the first.
