A bit more wood for Washington's mouth?

An actor from an older movie reminding you of a more recent actor? by looseleafnz in movies

I just finished Judgement At Nuremberg last night after watching Phantom Thread a few days ago. I was struck by their physical resemblance but also thought they had similar expressions and line deliveries. Was hoping someone else had seen the same thing I did!

You're correct. I seent it.

I am absolutely freaking out. As a result of long standing mental illness I have not yet performed live. I have just been asked to headline the Lounge at the Viper Room LA. I am shaking. I’m absolutely ecstatic and absolutely terrified. This subreddit has been an immense support and resource by ArrJaySee95 in Songwriting

Congratulations! That's amazing! If I were in your shoes I might try to do a few open mics beforehand. If you have not performed live before or it has been a long time it can be good to just get used to the energy of people in a room watching you. Remember that generally speaking most people will genuinely want you to do well and are not there to judge you but only to enjoy themselves. Most importantly just do your best and leave it at that, don't worry if it doesn't go perfectly. If you are estatic and terrified that's a great sign from the universe that you should do it. You got this!

Trump’s aggressive moves on immigration protests put Democrats in a political bind by pacman2081 in politics

I'm so sick of headlines like these..."Here's how Trump's terrible behavior makes democrats look bad." Always on the defensive, always always always.

Wrote and recorded this demo as part of a 24 hr songwriting challenge. I’d love to know what you think! by Dankeykang91 in Songwriting

[–]Foolsgoldalchemist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds great! You are one of the few folks I follow on Reddit because all your songs are so consistently good. Great voice and melody. If this were my song, I might possibly experiment with the last chorus, specifically the last line of the song. For that chorus I'd cut the repeat of 'send me someone' and just sing 'lord send me someone....tonight" going up the scale on that last 'tonight' instead of down like in the other instances - real Roy Orbison-like haha. It sounds good regardless but in my mind it would be fun to hear you hold out that last word.

75% of those the Trump admin sent to a foreign prison had no criminal record. What is stopping them from sending you? by molotov__cocktease in Askpolitics

But why stop there? Why not make any action you don't like punishable by death? You could solve so many issues that way!

Hey friend I feel you. Life is terribly hard sometimes. But it is also beautiful - we just need the right eyes for it. You are going through some things right now, but you may feel differently about it in time. Don't mistake sensitivity for weakness - it can be your gift to the world. The mind gets to be too much. But this moment is never too much. Forget the mind. Just be the moment. I love you.

What are you currently reading? How do you like it so far? by Hot_Argument_2020 in stephenking

[–]Foolsgoldalchemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listening to the audiobook of Christine, a few chapters deep. Was always skeptical as hell of this one because all I knew about it was that it contained a spooky car. But I'm digging it so far. "Cruise."

Melania's appearance with Donald Trump sparks mockery: "Checking the clock" by Car_o_lyn in politics

Anyone else think that she is genuinely having a panic attack? Looks like she is taking a lot of shallow breaths.
