Feng shui was originally presented as a mystical, “wive’s tale” system exactly because of this. If a sage told a young person to keep their windows clean because then your house will be full of “clean” light instead of “dirty” light, and this will improve your mood, the young person would tell him to shove off. But if he says cleaning your windows invites the lucky spirits to enter your home, it plants a seed in the person’s mind and they might actually try cleaning their windows.
The Curse of the Golden Flower. I never get tired of watching it.
Lantana, burnt diesel, petrichor, mango sap.
As a fellow lactose intolerant who was raised on soy “milk”, I say it should be cheaper just by virtue of how horrible it is.
A liquid isn’t milk if it didn’t pass through a nipple. Soy, oat, almond… they’re OK, but they’re not milk.
The Russian movie The Idiot (released in 1960) had an actress (Yuliya Borisova) who repeatedly had a wildly maniacal laugh. The look on her face when she does it matches perfectly.
So I finally watched it and it was great and now I’m sad because there’s no new episodes for a long time (if ever). It was the second anime I watched the whole season of, and I chose one of the greats straight up.
Ah thanks for letting me know. I was on a site with a lot of people waiting for this episode, and they are in meltdown haha.
It was due to drop 2 hours ago but nothing yet. Anyone have any news on when it drops?
Thanks for the explanation about piefed, I had completely the wrong idea.
I’ll do that, yeah. BTW just as I posted this, the app seized up and I had to try 5 times haha. It’s also a little slow to load when opening the app, but it’s still better than the others, and hopefully these issues will be fixed at some point. I understand it’s moved to a new system (?) piefed or something? I guess that would need some tinkering to get it really smooth.
This post is taking multiple attempts to post too. sigh
That’s quite a list! The notes about satire are helpful too - I started watching One Punch Man and stopped halfway through because it was too silly. I didn’t realise it was a send up. This list should keep me going for a while, and lead me to other anime I like. Thanks!
Haha I started watching FMA because it apparently has an Asian Kung Fu Generation song I like, but it looked violent so I stopped watching. Maybe I watched the 2003 one? Who knows. I’ll try the Brotherhood series. Thanks.
Sounds great. Thanks.
I watched season one of Rewrite, because I thought the Asian Kung Fu Generation song would be on it, but that was FMA as it turns out. I liked Rewrite though. I’m definitely going down an anime rabbit hole now!
I came to say this… in a land of humans with dog spirits.
The only reason I watched Sunset Boulevard was because I read a theory someone had that the Metallica song The Memory Remains was written about it. So I watched it out of curiosity and it fits. I didn’t notice any “plot points” because the overall theme and pathos of the movie gripped me. I agree that the woman who played Norma did a frighteningly good job. I might add some more to my list soon. I didn’t realise so many people would reply so I just did it off the top of my head.
nah i stil reed reel gud n stuff
Life is hard and stressful whether you’re kind or unkind, so be kind. I don’t mean be a doormat, but don’t be a dick.
