Sean, your ratings on Sound of Metal in the Archive section are off, showing you and Jay both with 3 stars and Frank with 4 instead of 5-bangers all around.

A nice follow-up on Sound of Metal would be At First Sight where Val Kilmer plays a blind masseuse who gets his eyesight back after an experimental operation but develops issues afterwards with this sensation. Check it ooot!

Yeah I just didn’t see anything counter argument supporting them as a good thing. Especially given Raci’s character stance on them. But even that aside, there were other issues that didn’t make this as powerful as it should have been.

Maybe I misread the film but the impression I got was that Riz’ implants just didn’t fully work (yet) as intended. Meaning in some instances the implants do a better job than portrayed here in the end (at least I would hope so since if that’s an accurate depiction of how life with implants is I’d rather be deaf too).

I think it was more the message from the camp leader combined with Riz’s experience that gave me that feeling. Didn’t Raci say something along the lines that it made deaf people feel less human? I don’t doubt there are some who feel like that, but there are likely just as many who think the tech can help. There didn’t seem to be anything positive said about the tech at all, especially when you factor in how the film ended. It’s a very purest point of view that seemed a little odd.

Frankie returning his “sticker remnant” copy of Tenet to the customer service at Wal-Mart.

“That’s what I sleep with every night,” throws UHD on the counter. “Do you understand the responsibility that you have?”

Loved Sound of Metal. Drummer for drummer’s sake.
