While Brian De Palma was making Carrie ( as a part of his Alfred Hitchcock imitation films ), Alfred Hitchcock himself was making his last picture Family Plot, where he used the composer from Steven Spielberg's Jaws John Williams for the score. De Palma, probably knowing Williams through Spielberg, decided to mess around with Hitchcock himself, making a sort of yet another Carrie ( a film about people with superpowers ) but this time hiring John Williams himself for the score. And weirdly enough ( while Spielberg was finishing Close Encounters and starting 1941 where his camera sexually obsessed over De Palma's GF at the time Nancy Allen ) De Palma hires Spielberg's girlfriend at the time Amy Irving for the lead role.

Just want to say, as someone who spends time in various movie related communities here on Lemmy, I’ve seen your comments on this persons posts and wanted to let you know I appreciate you and what you are doing.

👍

I suggest user tags if you don't want to fully block and the app you use supports user tags. I have this user tagged, the tag is visible only to me, and it helps me notice that a post is theirs before I accidentally click into it.

Thanks for the recommendation.

I use Voyager for iOS, I’ve looked around for user tags but haven’t been able to find it yet so maybe it doesn’t?

I am open to suggestions of other Lemmy clients for iOS that do have user tags

I use Voyager on Android. On Android at least, tap on the user's name > wait about 3s for lag > tap on the triple dots > edit tag. Type in some text and pick a color.

Might have to go into Settings > User Tags > Enable first.

😘👌

Bingo, you nailed it in one.

I needed to enable User Tags in the settings. Once I did that the Edit Tag option showed up exactly where I was looking for it earlier, in the three dot field.

Thank you kindly, stranger! You just earned yourself a user tag!

✌️
