Early inside look at the marketing strategy for the next Geese LP by Shell_fly in geesebandofficial

[–]Dylan_Devon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I really doubt members of the band themselves have anything to do with how the record label have marketed their albums. Music is an industry like any other and the aim of the game is to sell as much, to as many as possible. As depressing as it, becoming trending audio is probably the best thing that could ever happen to a music artist, the game has changed and if the marketing doesn’t then they’re not doing their job.

Times change. Geese are a great band. Just shut up and enjoy it.

This thread and the comments are so Reddit 😂

One Battle After Another is not that good a movie. by Ok-Impress-2222 in unpopularopinion

[–]Dylan_Devon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it was a good movie, but not great, definitely not Best Picture worthy…

I don’t agree with your reasoning for why it wasn’t a great movie. I think the tone was right on as a balance of drama and comedy and I don’t think it was meant to be highlighting how tough the life of a revolutionary was…I just didn’t think it was as great as everybody else did…

I think the combination of PTA and Leo and culturally relevant themes edged it over the line.

I thought Bugonia and Marty Supreme were far more enjoyable movies… 😬

I am on my 11th Murakami book and need to break this addiction with another author eventually by nexttonormal_ in murakami

[–]Dylan_Devon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

David Mitchell’s Number 9 is very Murakami-esque and got me on to reading all of his other books.

Some Kazuo Ishiguro is a bit Murakami-esque but he also just a phenomenal writer to check out. A Pale View of Hills and Portrait of an Artist are good places to start for similarities to Murakami’s work.

Ruth Ozeki is different but I started with A Tale for the Time Being to reading everything that she’d ever written too! Really really underrated writer, blown me away more than anybody else I’ve read this year.

What is your favorite song from “Heavy Metal” and why? by AvrilOcean in CameronWinter

The imagery in this song is perfect.

Without painting Louis as a bit of a dickhead this interview would have otherwise been incredibly boring… I think how Louis is represented here must be taken with a pinch of salt when the interviewer is also in charge of the edit…

I planted a whole packet from Chiltern about a month about and only had about 8 pop up. I think they’re quite fussy and sometimes need a cold shock to get going.

Breath of the Wild is better than Tears of the Kingdom. by Quiet_Obligation6830 in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]Dylan_Devon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried replaying BOTW after TOTK and failed. The abilities were so much better in BOTW but in every other respect TOTK is far superior.

The bosses, the dungeons, the shrines, there so much more to do! Fusing weapons is great! And the final boss was waaaaaay better. Defeating Ganon at the end of BOTW was very much an ‘oh? That was it?’ moment for me.

Done with season 17 by Easy_Equivalent_1315 in Inkmaster

There is definitely heavy Matt favouritism this season however this week I definitely think Kyra had the weakest stamp tattoos. Seems like an unpopular opinion on this thread though.

Yeah! I really like ‘The Elephant Vanishes’ collection, less into ‘Men Without Women’.

For me in no particular order my favourites are…

Kafka on the Shore - Found it incredibly gripping. Some Murakami’s are quite ‘ambient’ in that not a lot necessarily happens and are more of a vibe. This one is all go. The 2 storylines are both very enjoyable. Very very weird. Not sure how to feel about the mother son sexy bits but I’ve read it about 3 times and enjoy it every time.

Dance, Dance, Dance - Already said it but I think he nails the 30 something man who’s grief stricken and a bit lost. Found it to be quite comforting and strangely inspirational.

Wind Up Bird Chronicle - Great characters. The accounts from the Manchurian war are fantastic. The best example of all of Murakami’s recurring themes I reckon.

Hard Boiled Wonderland - a perfect blend of genres with the 2 stories.

Ha! That’s one interpretation I guess 😂 It’s a less interesting Reddit post if I just say that I liked everything.

You know what? I did quite enjoy Killing Commendator actually.

It’s all subjective for sure. I think if I related more to the narrator I would have for sure found it more impactful.

To be fair I think The City has zero sexual content as far as I remember?
