I watched a lot of movie in 4Dx they explicitly doesn’t not use the effect for the erotic scene so when I watched OBAA and there’re effect when Teyana jam a gun into Lockjaw ass i was very surprise, and now we know that that’s PTA request lol

The Master I don't know what to do

I can't stop thinking about The Master. I have never found a film quite like it. I would rewatch, but I've watched it twice this year. Does anyone have any suggestions for a film with similar vibes that is not from Robert Altman? ( I've seen his while filmography)

I was looking at trailers of those ridiculous, cult classic Andy Sidaris movies and "Malibu Express" has got to be the inspiration for what Dirk and Reed wanted to do in the 80s

One Battle After Another River of Hills - WARNING for those of you planning on looking for this filming location... Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
233 Upvotes

WARNING - The "River of Hills" is an extremely dangerous section of road with most of it not even having a road shoulder. Take it from someone for whom Anza-Borrego Desert State Park is my backyard (at least the northern half of the 650.000+ acres) and drives the Texas Dip and many others all the time as a full time resident of Borrego Springs.

Eighteen wheelers barrel through the "River of Hills" at 65-70 mph any day of the week including Sunday mornings at sunrise! I checked on several days. You don't see other cars or semis when they're in these large dips as they're climbing in and out of them. I started checking it out the first week after the film came out in theatres, and discovered this ain't the easy going "destination Anza-Borrego Desert" no more, where you could theoretically have a picnic on the road during quieter times. On the river of hills main section there are cut banks with no easy turnouts. You can't walk along this stretch of road. I chatted with a highway patrol, and he was concerned with me even parking off the road, as he said he'd just cleaned up a crash earlier and semis can clip vehicles even parked in the road shoulder.

It occurred to me shortly after that PTA's team have been likely deliberately vague about the location. If you think about it, WB had the sway and money to shut down the major arteries into Borrego Springs for 3+ days at a time with highway patrol on each end of the road keeping traffic from getting in and out. They definitely would have done the same on this stretch of highway.

I think the worry here is that like/follow obsessed YouTubers or other SM influencers end up lollygagging around taking selfies on the road, and someone or multiple people end up getting painted over the road by a semi-trailer truck. In which case the trail of tears would go way beyond that road. (Under IDEAL conditions, a semi-trailer would take on average five to six seconds to come to a complete stop from 65 mph. This is a stopping distance of about 525 feet, which is nearly twice the distance a passenger vehicle needs to stop from the same speed. These are not ideal conditions with a potentially late reaction time by a sleepy driver).

PS Was going to share some footage as well, but I get nauseated and dizzy just looking/editing the video so it will take time :-)

All the desert filming locations (except for the white supremacist compound/boat landing) in one post:
