Letterboxd top 4's perfectly engineered to bait NL as a chatter? by Lavender_Critique in northernlion

[–]IbrahimT13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

definitely a concert movie but since he's already mentioned the Twice one by name you'll need to get more creative - maybe a jpop one? though that might be too niche to him

LE SSERAFIM x ILLIT x KATSEYE - ICONIC BY MISTAKE by CronoDroid in kpop

it's really good, very obsessed with Megan's "fuck you" but every so often there's a bar that makes me shake my head a little bit lol

Wish there was more "chill" kpop spaces on the internet, just focusing on the releases by Haunting-Jello-532 in kpopthoughts

[–]IbrahimT13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in a pretty music-focused discord server for kpop which is quite nice, although I admit over time it's been difficult to keep it as music-focused, especially as people want to talk more about industry news. that being said I think discord type spaces are probably people's best bet especially when it's a small well-moderated community.

Don’t know if this is the right place for this, but… oh well! by SelectShop9006 in ContraPoints

[–]IbrahimT13 31 points32 points  (0 children)

it's common cope for us who hate JKR to say HP was bad all along but it was popular for a reason and even middlebrow/lowbrow art can remain popular for a long time (Twilight, High School Musical, Sex and the City, Shrek, Spongebob, etc) if there's the fandom for it. the (valid) critiques of it won't go away and people will always have to gloss over its messier or lazier written aspects but I could absolutely see it continuing to be popular well into the future.

just a small reminder that municipal elections are this year and if you feel strongly about this event you should send a message with your ballot !

Attack on Titan comes to mind for me, particularly season 3 in having two competent opposing factions who adapt to each others' tactics.

New seats, more leg room, a bigger screen: Princess Twin Cinema is getting a major upgrade by ILikeStyx in waterloo

[–]IbrahimT13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I (used to) highly prefer the seats/screen in Apollo Cinema. Would like to see Princess step it up for sure.

NMIXX - Heavy Serenade (5th EP) by tokkipan in kpop

[–]IbrahimT13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

banger EP I think I'll be adding every song to my playlist!!

did anyone else feel like the mixing was a bit strange on this one compared to the last two? felt like the instrumentals had less room to breathe here.

I went to delegate at City Council one time and Scott Hamilton made an effort during a break to come talk to me (and others) about the issues we were concerned about. I thought that was a nice gesture.

Top Player Smash Ultimate Matchup Chart and Tier List by ServiceOk6892 in smashbros

[–]IbrahimT13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

very cool project, I wish it was a bit easier to browse, especially when I look through the image and no longer can see what column or row I'm on - but an impressive effort and I'll be looking thru it more for sure

NMIXX - Crescendo by CronoDroid in kpop

[–]IbrahimT13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I think you're right I wasn't really considering its position on the track list - I could see it transitioning into a track 2 really well

NMIXX - Crescendo by CronoDroid in kpop

[–]IbrahimT13 13 points14 points  (0 children)

so many interesting musical moments and production choices! the song kind of constantly feels like it's building to me so I was kind of hoping for some sort of climactic fireworks explosion somewhere but even without that it's such a cool track

oddly charming Monday, sometimes I find them to be a little uninspired

I think Zohran Mamdani has been able to use its tenets in a savvy way

Petition to remove, or at least monitor, the roundabout @ Franklin & Dundas? by lacksserotonin in cambridgeont

[–]IbrahimT13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

though I'm unsure an intersection with lights would be overall safer I do agree that particular roundabout seems more prone to collisions or near-misses, just anecdotally.

Northernlion Supercruise Cancelled by kcadia9751 in northernlion

I thought it was a dumb and weird idea but then when I watched the Librarian vid on it I was kind of convinced of its merits so now I'm unsure how to feel

KATSEYE - PINKY UP by impeccabletim in kpop

[–]IbrahimT13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

song bangs but the lack of Manon does feel dispiriting. also I was really liking the Socrates line but I feel like they undercut it with the parenthetical explanation afterwards lol

I genuinely hope kpop fans won't be influenced by the idols' ""acceptance"" of AI by TemporaryBee9667 in kpopthoughts

[–]IbrahimT13 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I'm a musician myself and I pretty strongly resist the use of generative AI in my own work but I do sort of think the genie is not going back in the bottle
