While Brian De Palma was making Carrie ( as a part of his Alfred Hitchcock imitation films ), Alfred Hitchcock himself was making his last picture Family Plot, where he used the composer from Steven Spielberg’s Jaws John Williams for the score. De Palma, probably knowing Williams through Spielberg, decided to mess around with Hitchcock himself, making a sort of yet another Carrie ( a film about people with superpowers ) but this time hiring John Williams himself for the score. And weirdly enough ( while Spielberg was finishing Close Encounters and starting 1941 where his camera sexually obsessed over De Palma’s GF at the time Nancy Allen ) De Palma hires Spielberg’s girlfriend at the time Amy Irving for the lead role.

    Before you give them clicks, know this writer’s review of Fifth Element contained a lengthy ramble of their personal defense of pedophilia, not simply contextualizing it within the movie. They are also a self-declared supporter of Richard Stallman, an advocate for the legalization of child pornography and pedophilia.

        I suggest user tags if you don’t want to fully block and the app you use supports user tags. I have this user tagged, the tag is visible only to me, and it helps me notice that a post is theirs before I accidentally click into it.

          Thanks for the recommendation.

          I use Voyager for iOS, I’ve looked around for user tags but haven’t been able to find it yet so maybe it doesn’t?

          I am open to suggestions of other Lemmy clients for iOS that do have user tags

      I’ve never heard anything like that about Richard Stallman before. It strikes me as pretty out of character.
