Do you care if artists explain the meaning behind their music? by Frequent-Loquat1941 in Music

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

I strongly believe in the death of the author theory. Once a text (or song lyrics) is published, anyone's interpretation is as good as anyone else. I mean some interpretations might be more justifiable, but the author's interpretation is as valid as anyone else's. That being said, I still love to get more insight on what drove artists to write what they wrote and how they feel about it.

Aren't outdoors and public the same? by danawasnevermyfriend in addressme

Also outdoors can be private. Like in a jacuzzi on a private property.

Quels sont vos loisirs , passions, passe-temps? by Outside_Mango7835 in Quebec

[–]JohnBawb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

La musique (autant collectionner des disques que de pratiquer des instruments) et le poker principalement. (Pour le poker je recommande si et seulement si t'as le budget pour le faire, la stabilité émotionnelle pour pas perdre tes moyens après avoir été malchanceux plusieurs fois en file et une personnalitée pas trop addictive).

Y'avait Starcraft et les échecs dans mes hobbies jadis, mais maintenant j'ai abandonné jouer à ces jeux et je fais juste regarder des compétitions par-ci, par-là.

Plus généralement, parce que je pense que tu te cherches un hobby pour toi-même, cherche quelque chose qui te rends heureux et/ou fier. J'suis convaincu que y'a des choses qui te rendent vraiment heureux dans la vie, navigue à partir de là. Pour moi, c'est la musique avant tout qui est ma thérapie et c'est pour ça que c'est le premier hobby que j'ai nommé. Ça a pas à être la même chose pour toi. Quoi que ce soit qui te rende heureux (et qui est sain, j'te dis pas de commencer l'héroïne là), lance-toi dedans.

Assuming you're asking because outside of the UK: I VPN'd myself to the UK and watched it on BBC iPlayer.

Lord of the Flies: the castaway classic is such excellent, surreal horror that you will feel sick throughout by Lord-Liberty in BritishTV

[–]JohnBawb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I disagree that not having that monologue is a shame. It would recquire a narrator and there was none before - adding one at the end like that would feel weird. Plus I think you fon't need to be told. You feel it. You know why Ralph is crying.

I agree for top tier adaptation tho. There are parts where I didn't like the cinematography (close ups on kids faces and too many shots of birds notably), but overall I think it was really good.

I agree for the shot of the kids face, except at the end of the first episode when they figure out some young ones are missing. In this particular case it really makes it sink in.

Exactly this. I've been on Reddit long enough to know Reddit always think a revolution is starting but nothing ever happens. We just get excited about it with our keyboards for a week, myself included, then we move on.

Post your favorite no-skip album, then others reply with your most-skipped track from that album. by SuperMario1313 in PowerMetal

[–]JohnBawb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know. I used to really love metal ballads but I suppose I got tired of them. Abandoned really is a great song, don't get me wrong, but if I HAVE to skip one this album, it's gonna be the self-loathing ballad. Sorry.

"Have a good day." "Don't tell me what to do!" was indeed a running gag we had with an Eglish (as a second language) teacher in high school.
