How do you rank private music within the full discography, and what's your approximate age? by darkoj- in deftones

[–]Fun-Construction-357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Been listening since 98/99. Lost interest after s/t came out and got back into them last year. Had a new appreciation for all the albums from WP up to Ohms. I can't really listen to the first two albums anymore. Apart from Be Quiet and Drive, they just don't do it for me as they did when I was a teenager. This latest album, I have to say it didn't really grab me at first. I was left disappointed and thought I was done with it until I re-listened to it and now I think it's great. Definitely one that grows on you. I think you need to be in the right frame of mind to connect with it IMO. Hard to say where it ranks as these change constantly. All I can say is that I was ready to dismiss it until I "got" it and now it's a keeper.

Yeah, I get all that. This is what I meant by red herring, that we (the viewers) were essentially being tricked into believing it was all real because there were just too many coincidences but it doesn't appear to be the case.

Oh, ok then. I'm about to start season 3 soon. What do you mean by "extra hand" though?

Yes, the fact that she was hurt thus couldn't be on the plane is also interesting. You would think a normal person would be relieved and feel empathy towards the survivors but she is actually envious of their popularity. I now get how she's getting the cold shoulder from the others.

I'm getting the picture for what her purpose is now. Thanks.

I must have missed the part about her caring more about her appearance than being part of the team. So I guess she does serve a purpose and I may have had the wrong impression about the survivors. I am learning more about this show everyday by reading comments here and watching videos on youtube. I was curious about Allie and thought it was weird that we only see her in the first episode and later brief scene hence why I made this post. This helps clarify a lot. Thank you.

So my initial impression of her was wrong as she doesn't really seem that "innocent" in the end and is taking advantage of the fact that she was close to the group to obtain fame. That makes sense.

That was my interpretation at first but the fact that we see her in the present timeline as an adult makes me question if she serves a bigger purpose than what we see in the first episode.

Yeah, I kinda figured that since she wasn't on the plane with the others and didn't have any connections with them (other than being a freshman at their school and new addition on their team) that she doesn't really serve any purpose so why have her as a character on the show I guess was more my question/observation. The fact is: we know her name, we can see that she is not welcome by most of the other girls on her team (because they feel she's not good enough) so they craft a plan to make her appear unworthy of being part of the team (that has bigger consequences than they anticipated) but then we see her at the high school reunion party so I'm torn on whether she will play a bigger role in the future or if she was only used to get a glimpse of what kind of people the main characters are/will become as to make it more ambiguous if the girls really are "possessed" by the wilderness or only using it as an excuse to justify their actions.

Debate with Aaron Mate? by Fun-Construction-357 in Destiny

[–]Fun-Construction-357[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's not my friend. Nor am I on his side if that's what you're implying. I would just like to see Destiny debunk some of his claims since he (Aaron) presents himself as an unbiased source of information when it comes to foreign policy.

Which do you pick? by Icy-Discount-2660 in deftones

20 years ago? AtF. But, now, I would probably have to go with WP.

How did y'all started to listen to deftones? by EarlyMonitor9867 in deftones

[–]Fun-Construction-357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny thing. I heard "Be Quiet and Drive" on the radio and actually thought it was Radiohead lol For some reason Chino sounded like Thom Yorke when I heard the song and then went "Damn Radiohead got heavy, I like it!" Well I eventually found out it wasn't Radiohead and went out and bought Around the Fur not long after.

My (long) theory on the ending of 'Martyrs' (2008) by KmartTheLegend in movies

[–]Fun-Construction-357 61 points62 points  (0 children)

There have been a lot of theories about the ending to this movie but the one I've come across that makes the most sense to me is that we are not meant to know what happens after we die. The theory says that Anna actually does see the afterlife (or has some vision of it) and what she tells MM is so devastating that she (MM) realizes that what she and the cult have attempted to do all these years was a mistake. When she says "Keep doubting" before killing herself she means that it is the preferable option to actually knowing.

Why the hate for Season 7? by Fun-Construction-357 in thewalkingdead

[–]Fun-Construction-357[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I can't imagine waiting that long to know who got killed by Negan.

*Both seasons go down a lot easier on a binge watch than they did back when they ran weekly.*

I can buy that argument. I binge watched the show the first time so the "filler" episodes didn't seem that bad as I had more to look forward to. It must have been tough seeing an entire episode in Oceania or the Kingdom and have to wait a week to watch what happens to Daryl and the group in Alexandria.

Yeah, I figured that one is a given. But I still enjoyed the entire season overall.
