I will watch the dune movie and it will be good. a friend convinced me to re-read the book and I'm looking forward to it, but I'm having some trouble with my eyes so I dunno if/when I'll be able to. good thing kindles can use huge text size I guess

I watched fury road again last night and it was a very good decision. furiosa doesn't scream much but fury road is always worth watching

Uptime Sinclair posted:better or worst than doctor who, a show so bad it could easily pass as a cruel imitation by jocks of what nerds like I was watching it because I liked dr who well enough and torchwood was still too awful to deal with. hurts to admit that but we all have skeletons in the closet

I noped out of torchwood when the main dude and main lady were hiding from a monster and she said "i can feel your hard on" actually I think that was in like the first episode or two and I gave it 4 or 5 before checking out. idk

re: buddhism there's earth and a bunch of hells and a bunch of heavens. it's good to be a human bc you can hear the dharma and escape samsara. it's good to be a god and/or in heaven because obviously it rules but a lot of the time you'll just end up indulging yourself so it's prob better to be a human that can end your suffering but I mean don't worry too much. definitely better to be a buddhist on the path to eliminating suffering than an indulgent god. some buddhists think that earth is too hosed up to allow proper practice so our only hope to eliminate our suffering is to be reborn in the pure land (one of the heavens) where a particular bodhisatva will teach you and help you become enlightened.

Jonny 290 posted:i will try to not absolutely poo poo this thread up with eva clips or w/e but banning video from the land of the rising sun is hamfisted and dull  I actually don't mind that anime clips get you a sixer, it keeps the thread from being all clips and no discussion and a sixer is no big deal, and a great video or joke or w/e is totally worth a sixer. but banning even talking about anime is dumb

I enjoyed eva a lot but none of what you say is inaccurate. tbh skip it if you aren't feeling it and watch something that you definitely like. try it again some other time if you want if you haven't watched redline, go do that asap. no exaggeration it is one of my favorite pieces of animation ever. just, like, watch it as an audiovisual experience more than as a narrative one. kinda like fury road in that way. or fantasia. except, you know, violent fantasia

indigi posted:am I the only one who has no patience for weekly releases anymore? like I want to watch Raised By Wolves after the positive reviews it’s gotten here but I think I’d rather wait til all the episodes are out and watch them all in a few days big  unless there's a good chance it'll get spoiled, we generally wait on new serial shows until the season is out. this means we forget shows a lot though- still haven't watched Chernobyl for example

somebody posted about into the badlands not too long ago and it reminded me that I never finished season 3. just finished it. it dragged in places, but the ending was satisfying and I'm interested to see what happens next.

vonnegut is one of those authors that makes you remember that when it's well-written it's just called "fiction" even when aliens and poo poo are involved (less true in 2020 but still) this reminds me- is Ursula leguin actually good at writing? like on the spectrum of [heinlein, Asimov, mieville, banks-jemisin, bradbury*], where does she fall? *ok yes there's a huge gap between banks/Jemisin and Bradbury, cut me some slack and also recommend me authors who go in the gap Achmed Jones fucked around with this message at 06:43 on Oct 18, 2020 |

I liked Wes Anderson movies a lot in my late teens and early twenties. I don't know if I'd still like them, but it just feels like I should leave them to that part of my life. I absolutely love his stop motion stuff though. fantastic mr fox and isle of dogs are both great

you don't understand the concept of background music? cause it's the same thing sometimes people do things that aren't watching tv, but use the audio for tv shows as background music
