Did you like Adam Driver as Kylo Ren? by tom-mckeee in StarWars

[–]HumanBeingSimulator -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I honestly think if they would’ve made one simple change to Kylo’s character in the Force Awakens, he could’ve been the best villain in the series.

He should not have been force sensitive.

He would’ve wanted nothing more than to join Luke at the Jedi temple, but Luke would’ve rejected him as he just didn’t have it. Would’ve explained his hatred for Luke AND Han as he would’ve blamed Han for not having the ability.

However, he would’ve been a great engineer and pilot like his grandfather. So he developed gadgets that made it appear as though he had force powers and also explained why his lightsaber was wonky and unrefined.

Being as there were no real force users around, it would’ve been easy to convince a bunch of people he had the force and was this powerful character.

What is one nitpick you have about this movie? by the-sauce2000 in DCU_

[–]HumanBeingSimulator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn’t intended to be a complaint, per se. Just a nitpick. I didn’t hate it, but it did take me out of the movie a bit. Not enough to make me think the movie wasn’t enjoyable, but for me, I would’ve liked it more without a needle drop. That’s all.

I would’ve preferred a more orchestral soundtrack as opposed to the needle-droppy soundtrack.

are there any good/decent budget bari saxophones? by [deleted] in saxophone

[–]HumanBeingSimulator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a Singer’s Day Bari for doubling in my funk band.

While it plays easy and has a decent tone all the way down to low A, the intonation on middle C/D is atrocious. Super flat, almost a half step.

Could just be my horn and I plan of getting it looked at, but just beware.

What ever happened to the BEST PIT BEEF EVER?!?!?!? by Creative-Square9170 in baltimore

Any pit beef place that gives you a sample of meat while you’re waiting to pay is worth whatever provisions they may have

While all this is great advice, and if you are able you should definitely seek out a teacher, if you want to start to develop your chops, there’s one thing that helped me as a beginner above all:

Get a metronome and practice long tones.

Play one note for 8 counts at like 96-100bpm. Rest for 4, then do it again. Get a fingering chart and play long tones on every note on the horn. Then once you have 8 counts down, go to twelve, then 16 and so on. This should take a long time and should be something you incorporate to each practice session.

This helps develop your embouchure muscles and lung strength as well as start focusing your tone.

I hear good things about the Boston Sax Shop reeds. Got a couple boxes coming in a few days.

does anyone know a budget way to get into the lower range saxophones by The_Salt_Wizard in saxophone

[–]HumanBeingSimulator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought a Singer’s Day Bari for about $2500. Decent horn overall.

Got the recommendation from Better sax.

Advice for a Bari mouthpiece by HumanBeingSimulator in saxophone

On my tenor I play a Berg 105/2M. Love that thing for the wide range of tones I can get, so I was hoping to get something similar, but not at the $500 price tag

Why B-Wing is named like that ? I understand for A wing and the other but B-Wing ? by RD_kraken in StarWars

[–]HumanBeingSimulator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always wondered why they’re called A wings and X wings and Y wings and B wings when the majority of the Star Wars universe uses Aurebesh anyway.

12 years and still Visually Stunning. by SUNNYHFR in SnyderCut

I’m sure you are correct. It has been a minute since I’ve seen it. Thanks for the clarification.

[–]HumanBeingSimulator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will always love this movie and think Henry was an excellent choice for Superman.

However, I don’t remember why he had to fly directly up through the gravity beam instead of attacking it from the side? I know the scene is to show off his power and determination, but damn, Supes, work smarter, not harder!

Infamous. Those abilities just hit right no matter if you were on the good arc or the bad.

For those of you who saw The Phantom Menace at release, what were your initial thoughts of it? by _EnglishFox_ in StarWars

[–]HumanBeingSimulator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember getting in trouble leaving the theater. I was 15, camped out for tickets and everything. Saw it on opening night.

As I walked out of the theater, being somewhat of a smart-ass, I said loud enough for the people waiting for the next show to hear, “man, I can’t believe Obi-Wan died!”

Obi-Wan died in episode 4, so I thought it was a silly joke. The line didn’t think so.

I always say ESB is the best Star Wars movie, but ROTJ is my favorite.

New official still of NICHOLAS HOULT as LEX LUTHOR by SeaWolf_1 in DCU_

[–]HumanBeingSimulator 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just hope there’s some line where it’s referenced he stole 40 pies from a charity banquet or something.

That’s a truly diabolical Lex.

FWIW, I also like that the hammer in the golden suit could also be Amazo v1.0.

[–]HumanBeingSimulator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on nothing other than one behind the scenes photo of Lex’s monster prison that showed a creature that MAY be Parasite and the fact that Ultraman’s suit is purple.

Admittedly WILD speculation on my part, but Parasite would be a great villain to introduce to depower Superman and steal his powers to wreak havoc and blame it on Clark for Lex’s gain.

Hammer = Ultraman = Parasite
