![]() If you have seen them live (I have four times-twice riveting, twice not so), you just never knew what you were going to get. You have various people, most you've never seen before but do have credibility in telling this story, which is done chronologically. First off, two things you need to know: None of the Replacements are interviewed, and there is no footage of them. It's a collection of stories worth telling.ĭepending on how much you like the Replacements will be how much you like this documentary. To quote him, "I don't believe in God, but I believe in The Replacements." That may or may not be true, but it adds to a collection of good stories centered around The Replacements none-the-less. The director claims that he wanted to treat this differently, and compared his choice not to show The Replacements during the film was much akin to the way God is always talked about in films but never shown. there are not even that many pictures of the band shown. ![]() ![]() It is particularly impressive because there is no music in the movie, no interviews with surviving band members. In a world of constant false-reality T.V., this is no easy feat. There's realism and simplicity to the craft used that makes the headiest moments come off as relatable, not contrived or, worse, pretentious. Every one of the subjects interviewed is clearly enjoying talking about their favorite band as much as the audience is enjoying listening to them talk about their favorite band. The tidbits of information that die-hard fans aren't already well aware of are few and far between, but the story-telling is spot-on and will keep you at attention the length of the film. Strangely, though, this proves to be more than enough. The entire length of this film is one big succession of fans (both famous and not) geeking out over the relative genius of each of members of the band and, of course, the madness that equaled and collective. What else can you say about The Replacements - a band that has been broken up for nearly two decades - that hasn't already been said? Apparently, not much. To paraphrase someone in the movie talking about their song "Hayday", I love this movie. They story about how "Tim" was named is hysterical!) Put aside any misgivings you might have about there being no music (really, it's not missed), and give two hours to a great filmmaker who will take you to a place you've never been before. (Really, I thought knew a lot about The Mats until seeing this film. PASSION! It will also teach you things about success and insecurity, and about how a small band from the Midwest changed the face and sound of rock music forever. It's about passion, it's about how art changes your life, it's about how a band becomes a part of your family, how their music is forever etched on your soul. Forget it being a music doc, forget it being about the Mats, it's plain and simple a great movie. That's filmmaking! In fact, aside from recommending this movie to Mats fan and indie rock fans, I strongly urge fans of independent cinema to see this film. It's a music documentary, people.WITHOUT ANY MUSIC! As the bumper-sticker for the film says, "Kinda brilliant. AND IT SHOWS! And while everyone else will recount here how it's great to hear all the stories and such (I do love Robert, the guy from the farm, and Bil MacLeslie is a hot older guy I could listen to for days!), I want to talk instead about the filmmaking. And, as he said at the Tampa premiere (and if you read the novel, you'll believe him), he might not believe in God, but he does believe in the Mats. Bechard delivers us a documentary on who I believe to be the greatest rock band ever, The Replacements. It's about God sending his 18 year old daughter to save us. I'll say this right off the bat, I think "The 2nd Greatest Story Ever Told", the first novel by Gorman Bechard, is probably the best book I've ever read. ![]() * Any unused portion of the free trial will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription.CamScanner first became popular due to its user-friendliness and HD image conversions. * Subscriptions may be managed by the user, and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user's Account Settings after purchase. * Account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. * Subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. ![]() * Payment will be charged to Google Play Store at confirmation of purchase. * Subscriptions are billed weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually at the rate based on the subscription plan. * You can subscribe to get unlimited access to all features of the scanner app. In this way, you can view, edit and share any document with the CamScanner scanner app on the go.

When we used it, the app performed these updates as much as four times in a day. There’s also a notifications tab where you can easily see all of the updates the software is doing so that they’re constantly up to date on the latest malwares that are out there. On the dashboard, there are buttons to do a quick scan or a system scan. All in all, it took less than 10 minutes. After accepting a few terms and conditions and taking care of some system prompts, we found ourselves logging-in to our Bitdefender app dashboard. After getting a license for the product, we went to our web dashboard, added our Macbook to the list of devices, and clicked the install button. That’s exactly what Bitdefender did for us.įor starters, it was easy to install. Of course, the design has little to no impact on the effectiveness of the software, but a well-designed app inspires confidence. The Bitdefender app for Mac is relatively intuitive.

It could creep up through our home network and infect our other devices, or it could attach itself to files we email to others.įortunately, Bitdefender scanned for any type of malware regardless of which device or system it was used on. Just because a piece of Windows malware isn’t affecting our Macbook doesn’t mean it’s safe to keep. The first thing we liked about it was that it detected and removed both malware targeting macOS and Windows. And although Macs have built-in antivirus protections, having third-party software like Bitdefender can help further lockdown Macbooks and iMacs from digital threats.Īs stated, we tested Bitdefender on our Macbook Pro. In fact, Mac systems are now almost as targeted as Windows PCs. Testing the Relationship: How Bitdefender Measures UpĬontrary to popular belief, Apple computers do get infected by malware. We downloaded the Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac on a 2019 Macbook Pro to see just how well the software could keep our device protected.īitdefender Antivirus Features Utilizes behavior-based detection The long and short of it is that you can’t really tell if a piece of antivirus software is effective without testing it first-hand, so that’s exactly what we’re doing with Bitdefender. Others use more advanced technology, such as behavior-based detection, for a more high-tech approach. Some choose a more laborious path, relying on features like full-system scanning. ![]() That being said, having tested several dozen antiviruses over the course of the past 10 years, we know that each piece of antivirus software uses different methods to do its job.

Based on Tim Burton’s dearly beloved film, this hilarious musical tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager whose whole life changes when she meets a recently deceased couple and a demon with a thing for stripes. ![]() The film, about a family trapped underground while shadowy creatures roam the surface, establishes themes familiar to any “Stranger Things” fan: a precocious child, government conspiracies, an exploding rat. “Ross and I are going: ‘Oh, this is the dream. “It was this insane situation,” Matt said. for a post-apocalyptic thriller called “Hidden.” Suddenly the Duffers had a real Hollywood budget. In 2011, just four years out of film school at Chapman University, in Orange County, Calif., the brothers sold a script to Warner Bros. The music “was mostly Danny Elfman playing out of a boom box.” In another, a boy in a Freddy Krueger mask seasons a severed hand with salt. In one scene, a character shoots another with a Nerf bow-and-arrow. Their first was based on the fantasy card game Magic: The Gathering. Starting around the fourth grade, the brothers began making movies with Smith, whose parents had a VHS camcorder. Friday movie night was sacrosanct, and Allen took his sons to see every new release in theaters that he could. Eventually, their tastes expanded to Steven Spielberg and Tim Burton. “I was always surprised at their attention span, even at a young age,” he said. Their father, Allen Duffer, a film buff who worked in a local research lab, said the boys had been movie fanatics since they were toddlers. They were born in 1984 - the year after the timeline of “Stranger Things” begins - and grew up in a middle-class neighborhood in Durham. It may help that the Duffers were raised far away from Hollywood. “When we hang out, it’s mostly, like, go to dinner, play board games, watch a movie, talk about the industry,” he added. “They’re still some of the most down to earth people I know,” said Tristan Smith, a friend since early childhood who today is a creative director at Google. Both are blue-eyed handsome, but mercifully, they were easy to tell apart: Matt’s hair is longer, and he appeared to be the more animated and fidgety of the two Ross’s voice is deeper, and his manner seemed a bit more circumspect. They dress in sweatshirts and tennis shoes and rarely go out. “We love the part of making a show, the process of making it, and not everything else so much that comes with it,” Matt added. “There’s a reason we’re behind the camera - that’s where we feel more comfortable,” Ross said over pizzas after a long morning of playbacks and color correction. Unlike their teenage cast members - say, Millie Bobby Brown or Gaten Matarazzo - they rarely get stopped on the street. With few exceptions, the Duffers have kept their press engagement to a minimum. They had made a feature-length movie, but it never saw theaters.īut if fans know little more about them today than they did six years ago, it’s not for lack of appetite. They had written a few scripts, directed a few shorts. IF THE DUFFER BROTHERS seemed to come out of nowhere when the now-famous opening sequence of “Stranger Things” first rolled out, that’s because by most measures, they had. Say this about the Duffers, 38, who as two virtually unknown brothers from North Carolina created one of the biggest pop TV phenomena of the Streaming Age: It hasn’t paid to underestimate them so far. Will fans still flock to “Stranger Things”? (Want to feel old? Caleb McLaughlin and Sadie Sink are 20.) Plenty can change in three years, including viewer attention. Meanwhile, the tone is decidedly shifting this season (think “A Nightmare on Elm Street” and “Hellraiser”), and its young cast has been shaving for at least a few years. For now, they seem content to let the fans decide Netflix has proved willing to support their expanding vision. With episodes like short movies (three of the first four are 75 minutes or more), one might worry that the Duffers have succumbed to excess. “You want me to say it out loud?” he asked. ![]() “How long is the episode right now?” Ross asked their editor Dean Zimmerman about the episode on the screen. There was just so much material to get through. That was the main reason they had decided to release it in two chunks, Ross said. The pandemic had already caused significant delays, and the new season is five hours longer than any previous one. And “Stranger Things,” as Ted Sarandos, co-chief executive of Netflix, told me last month, is “probably our biggest, most enduring content brand that we’ve created.” This was the same day the company lost about $50 billion of its market value.ĭuring the two days I observed them, the Duffers, who continue to direct, write and oversee “Stranger Things,” had enough on their plates just getting things manageable. With competing streamers gaining ground, it was safe to say that Netflix needed a giant hit. ![]() ![]() Make sure your computer OS is up to date.

For macOS, a Brew cask is available (other installation options are listed on the home page): If you’re curious enough to give it a go, Alacritty is pretty easy to install. (Font) rendering is very crisp and the overall impression is very modern, minimalist, and elegant. I don’t have a benchmark at hand, but from my experience performance is excellent (definitely up there with other fast terminal emulators like iTerm2 or Kitty 1). Alacritty is not only written in Rust, but it also uses OpenGL for rendering, making it perfectly suited to run complex terminal applications-like Tmux or Vim-on large screens without performance problems. Lastly, the main selling point and central motivation for Alacritty-as cited by its creator Joe Wilm-is performance. ![]() you don’t have to restart the program to see the effect of configuration changes. if you set up a new computer or virtual machine, it comes in handy that you can just pull your configuration and have everything configured as you’re used to in a heartbeat.) Alacritty also applies your configuration changes immediately after saving the configuration file. If this seems like a niche feature to you, think about how difficult it usually is to share your terminal configuration with someone else, or, how hard it is to upload it to a remote repository for backup and versioning. One of them is that you can write the configuration in YAML format. Responsiveness (due to the lack of garbage collection cycles), andįast start-up (compiles to machine code, there is no virtual machine as in Java, Python, or JavaScript).Īlacritty, besides being written in Rust, also has some other nice features. Low memory profile (memory is automatically freed up if its owner has completed), (I’m sure that there is a lot of terrible Rust code as well as in any other language.)īut, if you write a program in Rust (and pass the compiler ), it comes with a lot of properties that are effectively cost-free (i.e. are there because the language guarantees it). Now, don’t get me wrong, this doesn’t mean that if you write code in Rust, it’s automatically good. First of all, although this has become somewhat of a meme at this point, being (re)written in Rust is a good thing in my book. In terms of terminal emulators, my current weapon of choice is Alacritty, a modern and minimalistic but highly configurable terminal emulator written in Rust that is available for most platforms.Īlacritty has a few things going for it. If you are, like me, worried about portability (or lack thereof), there are, of course, other solutions available. ![]() ![]() However, if you want to switch to a Linux machine, then you better be prepared to spend a couple of days setting up a new terminal emulator, window manager, and so forth, since iTerm2 is only available on macOS. This is not a big deal-great even-if you can be sure that you will spend the rest of your days developing on a Mac. In particular, I think that it-much like some IDEs (looking at you IntelliJ )-tries to do too much: window management, session management, password management - you name it, iTerm2 has it. Configurability, performance, and documentation are all excellent. It’s, all in all, a very good piece of software. To be fair, iTerm2 is a great choice as well. So, here’s a quick guide on how to use my new weapon of choice, Alacritty. While ZSH has-for me-stood the test of time (and I don’t feel the need to try out another shell yet), there is, in my opinion, always room for improvement on the terminal emulator side. In my neverending quest for the perfect development set-up, I’ve recently tried a couple of improvements for my hitherto standard command line tooling ( ZSH + iTerm2) over the holidays. |
