Mostly because: in an era where so many movies & shows are being made on a very obvious closed stage with a big digital screen behind the actors, it weirdly feels exciting & refreshing to see a movie actually filmed outside, with real lights and real sets.21 Jul 2026 09:18 +0000at://did:plc:pb7tjsmlo7fc3dmt3hbw4qti/app.bsky.feed.post/3mr5i2n365c2phttps://bsky.app/profile/andytouch.bsky.social/post/3mqwlqznplk2iFinally saw System Of A Down live! They were the band that got me into heavy/metal music when I was 10 and are a fitting last band to tick off on my live music bucketlist 25 years later. 😁 Perfect stadium show. 30 songs with no breaks. Band were locked-in & having fun.
