Hello everyone!
I got a heritage rough rider as my first pistol (now I also have a glock). I love the look of this gun and really want it to work. However during all my trips to range it only fires 2 to 3 rounds per cylinder. I suspect it's because the strike is not strong enough but I'm not knowledgeable enough to confirm.
Thanks for helping! Attached is a picture of the misfired round and my favorite holster :)

I'm looking for movies that glorify the hippie culture and were made in that time. So not the ones made decades later, but movies from the 60s / early 70s. Great soundtrack to go along with it is definitely a plus. Looking forward to y'all's suggestions!
At the end of Peter Biskind's film bro classic Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, there is a select-filmography list of fifteen directors who are essential to the New Hollywood movement (to Biskind at least). These are: Robert Altman, Hal Ashby, Warren Beatty, Peter Bogdanovich, Michael Cimino, Francis Ford Coppola, William Friedkin, Dennis Hopper, George Lucas, Terrence Malick, Bob Rafelson, Paul Schrader, Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, and Robert Towne.
So, blankies, out of all of these, who would you be most in favor of for a seventies-themed miniseries.
For Altman, they could probably do just the 70s, as they've been talking about for years.
Ashby's filmography is fairly small. I'm not sure if he really has a "blank check", but it would be a fascinating filmogaphy to go over.
I've been hoping for a Beatty mini for a while now. Short filmography, really interesting movies, some of the best context for any director ever, going from the glory days of the New Hollywood to the changing fortunes of the 90s and ultimately into the irrelevance of the 2010s.
Bogdanovich has some great movies and interesting context, but the decline for the 80s and 90s stuff would be like Burton, just several times worse.
Michael Cimino has a short filmography, but I'm not sure it's worth a month of the later stuff to get episodes for The Deer Hunter and Heaven's Gate. Some extra Oliver Stone discussion, but that's about it. Still, he would be a great challenge for the new researchers, so if you want to mess with JJ and Nick, Cimino's probably your guy.
Coppola is one of those series that they kind of play coy about, but let's not kid around. His four seventies films absolutely are some of the greatest American pictures ever made, and his 80s are just buck-wild insanity. If he ever makes Megalopolis, the boys should do him immediately.
William Friedkin I know is a favorite around here, but I'm lukewarm about a series for him. His seventies work is, like Coppola, great, and he has a few less films, but his wilderness years are far, far less interesting than Coppola's.
Dennis Hopper is short and interesting, but he's in the same boat as Cimino, just with more easily found context but the trade-off is only one of them almost single-handedly sunk the New Hollywood (or, rather, is blamed for almost single-handedly sinking the New Hollywood).
George Lucas has kinda-sorta already been done?
Terrence Malick would be a great series. His story is so wild, he's so reclusive,

("That song" is Uprising by Muse, the only one I've bought for Synth so far because it's the only one I actually recognize. The handful of preinstalled tracks that I've tried since then were just slow by comparison.
Also I'm playing Easy/Normal because I'm trying to progressively increase the difficulty--haven't decided what should signify that I'm ready to move up in difficulty on Synth because of the difference in their scoring system, but for the few songs I regularly play in Beat Saber I'm on Normal plus highest speed and keep missing Full Combo by just a few blocks.)
Anybody else have similarly weird experiences comparing difficulty from one game to another?
The three main cast members of this film have probably done enough drugs between them to intoxicate a small town for a year.
Peter Fondaβs character throws away his watch at the beginning of the film. A gesture that signals the two main charactersβ rejection of time and other constraints. And so begins their journey to find freedom.
There are long, drawn out shots of the bikers treating the road as if they own it. Zigzagging across each other with the vast American landscape looming in the background. Their hair flowing as Country rock plays. Whenever the film transitions from their journey to their place of rest, there is an interesting type of cut that is used. One where the next scene of them resting is flashed multiple times while they are still riding. Until eventually the film actually cuts to that scene. This kind of unique overlap suggests that when one is on the road for multiple days, the days and nights start to blend together. The rest becomes part of the journey.
And yet β as they get closer to their destination β they get further away from the very freedom that they desire. Prejudices and hostility become more pronounced until the very vehicles that are meant to lead them to liberty, are engulfed by the flames of incarceration.

I love the movie but I don't know if the 4k is worth picking up, all the Amazon reviews are about the film itself and not the transfer (plus, I wouldn't trust those reviews as far as I can throw them).
Has anyone seen it or have firsthand knowledge of the quality? I already have the film on Blu Ray so if it's a Terminator 2 situation I can afford to pass on it.
Thanks!
