Bill Murray has been deified by the public for his performative acts of fan service, never mind that the people who actually had to work with him have frequently described him as an abusive asshole.

^ How about The Razors Edge. Beyond awful.

There is probably some excellent music somewhere, on some of her records.

But I really don’t understand the love for Dolly Parton beyond that. “She wrote ‘Jolene’ and ‘I Will Always Love You’ in the same day!” Man, I HATE those songs!

Whatever is going on here?

It seriously does not make a lick of sense.

You want to understand why I love Dolly Parton? To me, I have a tough time understanding that there are human beings who exist who do not get why other human beings would love this...

Never mind this...

We are talking about a human being that has better comedic timing that folks who get paid for attempts at comedic timing.

I'm pretty down with people saying whatever on this thread but Dolly is a fucking bad mother fucker from the tips of her toes to the tips of her nips. She just fucking rules. Hands down a perfect person, musically. socially... the best.

We're also talking about the person who wrote "Down From Dover".

There are a lot of songwriters that write great songs. Not that many that write a song like that.

I recommend getting on Indeed and checking out how much an entry-level Dollywood worker makes per hour.

She’s great, but far from perfect.

Amen.

Chemical photography is a PITA too.

Maybe not for the twenty-something, "ooh, ANALOG photography!", Lomography, just found my first used Pentax K1000/Canon AE-1 "and I send away the film and, "bam" magic, I get images on polyester and paper back".

But for someone who's still interested in historical equipment and processes and used to do darkroom work, and enjoys occasionally shooting medium or large format: huge pain-in-the-ass that didn't seem quite as much so 30 years ago.

Also, the realization of what a environmental/material mess chemical photography is: film bases and emulsions, reagents, not to mention the complex organic chemistry of doing color and all the byproducts. As opposed to a factory in South Korea just shitting out millions of tiny silicon chips with billions of NAND gates embedded in them.

I went through the process of developing a photo once. The result was not worth the effort.
