Conspiracy theorists are already blaming the Maui fire on "directed energy weapons," and by extension, the "globalists" who control them. We know who they mean.
THE WAQJOBS NOW THINK NICOTINE IS GOOD FOR YOU BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT SAYS IT IS BAD FOR YOU.
I agree and I encourage them ALL to begin chain-smoking like 70s grandparents. This will work out perfectly with their refusal to ever see another medical professional.
Now that Goncharov is finally getting the attention it deserves, I think it’s time I drag out the conspiracy board and present this theory I’ve had kicking around in my brain for a while:
I don’t think Goncharov was directed by Martin Scorsese.
Hear me out.
The film is officially billed as “Martin Scorsese Presents ‘Goncharov’ A Film by Matteo JWHJ 0715.” That format usually indicates the producer and director, respectively. If Scorsese directed the film, why is he credited in a way that implies he was a producer?
Conclusion? Matteo JWHJ 0715 is a pseudonym for the real director who allowed Scorsese, a producer, to take the credit.
Goncharov was clearly written by Matteo, because their name is the only writing credit, but I think they directed the film as well. Scorsese was probably a producer along with Domenico Procacci, hence why Procacci has producer credit. The original billing was probably something like “Martin Scorsese Presents ‘Goncharov’ A Film by Matteo JWHJ 0715; Produced by Martin Scorsese and Domenico Procacci; Written and Directed by Matteo JWHJ 0715” but something happened in post-production to cause a shakeup.
Maybe there was some bad blood between Matteo and the producers. Maybe it was a union thing. Maybe Matteo didn’t want their name attached to the film as a director for some reason. Maybe the studio didn’t want Matteo’s name attached as a director.
Which begs the question: Who was Matteo? I’ve got some theories.
James Cameron - he would’ve been just 18 at the time, so maybe the studio didn’t have faith in the film’s success and wanted a bigger name attached. Scorsese was new, to be sure, but he was already established as a filmmaker and a much safer bet.
Stephen Spielberg - he wasn’t a name yet, but his official directorial debut was just one year later, so timeline-wise it makes sense. Also, that shot of Goncharov and Katya on the bridge? Classic Spielberg.
Martin Brest - his official directorial debut was just one year earlier, he’s worked with Pacino in the past, and Goncharov tonally matches up with his filmmaking style.
Barbara Loden - her first film won the International Critics Award at the Venice Film Festival in 1970, so I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to say she was capable of a film like Goncharov.
Henri Colpi - This one’s really a deep dive, but it’s based on my suspicions that JWHJ 0715 is a code for the director’s true name. Suppose the letters are substitutions for numbers, and the numbers are a date. The most obvious is July 15, and a scroll through that day’s Wikipedia page brought me to Henri Colpi and his birthdate of July 15th, 1921. JWHJ 0715 could stand for 1921/07/15.
Like I said, there’s no concrete evidence to support this; this is purely my own crack theory, but thank you guys for coming along with me on this journey.
You know, I’m starting to wonder if introducing Kwesi in the past few months was because Ned was acting shady or something. I don’t mean to say that the Try Trio knew and chose to shut up about it ‘bros before h*es’ style, it’s just a thought that I had.
Whenever I hear another bat shit crazy theory of how Alida is an evil mastermind, that tricked Bill into knocking her up TWICE! …. I think of this scene….
There some bitch in a basement somewhere writing a 10 page analysis of how his roles are actually windows into his life, and a cry for help.
My nonsensical theory of the week is that Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony was Rockstar’s failed attempt to create a game that would’ve given them the gaymers’ approval. They wanted to be Dead by Daylight before Dead by Daylight was even a thing, and failed miserably.
what if the "hussshhhh" sound we hear when the train is about to start moving is actually gas to make us feel like the train is moving when it's actually not, because it's all a SiMuLaTiOn
everyone can totally play music by ear but big music doesn’t want us recreating songs willy nilly so they send out sound waves that interfere with that part of our brains.
