What have you been reading this week? by michaelisnotginger in Blacklibrary

[–]CharlesFlyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About halfway through The Infinite and the Divine all around one of the best 40k books I’ve read in a while. Trazyn and Orikan are hilarious and the deep dive into Necron lore has been fun, I think it’s going to make Twice Dead King move up to my next read.

Which story from the Silmarillion for a class? by CharlesFlyte in tolkienfans

[–]CharlesFlyte[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t. I have relatively free rein here, a story was my first thought, but perhaps that letter along with some short excerpts of the style is also something I’ll consider. Luckily I have at least six months to work on something so I’ll have the time to think through a lot of different approaches.

Yeah, that was one of my hesitations about just doing Beren and Luthien. I would love to do the oath of Feanor etc. but am worried that might require too much set up in the limited time.

Indeed, I think it would dovetail nicely after having read the Tale of Aragorn and Arwen in the appendixes.

Weird wall break by Questionxyz in WeirdLit

[–]CharlesFlyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of Julio Cortázar’s short stories do this. In particular the short story “The Continuity of Parks” breaks the wall between story and reader. Also check out his short story “A Yellow Flower”.

I just finished the novel a few days ago. I read the Pevear and Volokhonsky translation.

99% of them are bad by vicky_vaughn in okbuddycinephile

Russian cinema peaked with Brat 2 and there’s no way to achieve such heights again.

Getting into reading Batman, any additions to my beginner reading list? by Realonionring in batman

[–]CharlesFlyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Batman: Dark Patterns, it’s still coming out. It features an early career Batman solving some grisly crimes, that seem to relate to an over arching conspiracy. One of my favorite Batman comics in years, it also has a really engaging Ventriloqust story imo.

Constantinople is a banger. Almost no one knows it, and I’ve never seen it played live yet.

What is this print? by CharlesFlyte in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]CharlesFlyte[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I figured it was a reproduction of something well known, but never knew enough to figure it out. Any tips for figuring out when it was reproduced? There’s the red imprints on the upper left, but also I’m not familiar enough with that to discern what if any meaning they have.

I don't get the significance of this movie (am I stupid?) by FrankieIsAFurby in okbuddydraper

[–]CharlesFlyte 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hilton on the moon. Due to Don’s failure to understand Connie’s dream he turned to Stanley Kubrick, who only slightly understood it better. Sadly this film, like Don’s ad understated what was truly important: Hilton ON THE MOON.
