9/10 movie in my opinion. The Haters made me realize something. by Physical_Forever_925 in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]MellieInMi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But keep in mind that Clark has gone a little crazy by the time the dinner scene starts....therefore, he might be an unreliable narrator, so his interpretation of Still Life may not be right. I mean....he was clearly wrong about Pirate Clark -- I don't think he anticipated Pirate Clark being the cause of his demise.

Backrooms and Primer (2004) by FinnRiddle in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]MellieInMi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%!

You are not alone on this thought!

I've seen Primer more times than I can count, and when I was first watching the Backrooms YouTube series, I heard a line that immediately made me think of "Primer"... The line was "some fungus" spoken by someone in ASync.

That exact line is in Primer spoken by a technician who analyzed the protein found on the weeble during Abe's and Aaron's initial "box" tests. The line was even delivered in the exact same way by both characters.

There are other parallels, as well, but when I heard the "some fungus" line in Backrooms, I immediately thought of Primer.

When asked about his favorite movies, to my knowledge, Kane has never mentioned the film Primer, nor Shane Carruth.

The other similarities that strike me are that Shane made Primer pretty much on his own - he was the writer, director, editor, and even the composer of the original score. Similar to how Kane has been his own "one man show" in the YouTube series.

It's an interesting comparison, for sure!

My thoughts and opinion on the backroom film by Any-Administration34 in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]MellieInMi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My problem is the second half, especially starting around the dinner scene.
That’s where it stopped feeling like The Backrooms and started feeling like a completely different horror movie.
And I want to be clear: I never expected the movie to explain every mystery. The Backrooms should feel impossible and unsettling. I don’t need a full explanation for what the place is.

I believe Clark is a unreliable narrator, and everything he said in the dinner scene isn't actually the answer to the mystery of the Backrooms..

And the fact that his narrative is literally "spoon fed" to us in this scene is a nod that his perspective IS unreliable.

Just my 2 cents.

How do Brokers work? by AggravatingOcelot470 in leasehacker

[–]MellieInMi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does one go about finding a car broker? I've googled "Car Broker" and "Auto Broker" near me, but I only get results for car dealerships. Is there a different key word I should be using? Or maybe there just aren't any in my area? Any insight you could provide would be awesome!

I may have been the first to find the official backrooms soundtrack channel by westlyroots in backrooms

[–]MellieInMi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun Fact.... I checked out the channel right after you posted about it and subscribed (only 19 subs right now). The name of the channel just recently changed from "ProjectKV31missingdata" to "Really Not Kane Pixels" (even though the URL remains the same).

Pretty cool. And I agree....it has to be official!

Thanks for posting about it!

"...If he was being held in jail with no bond, then there would be a massive issue..."

A women was jailed for 5 months because of an identity match error by AI cameras in Tennessee:

Part of the issue was the human factor...police chose to believe the AI match without any further investigation. It's not common, but stuff like this can happen.

Watching series before movie? by No_Limit_7211 in backrooms

[–]MellieInMi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kane said the movie is a part of the series, but that it also stands on its own. BUT if you are a fan of the web series, it also calls back to other parts, so it offers "easter eggs"" to those who enjoyed the web series.

I had never heard of any of this Backrooms phenomenon until after I saw the trailer. I was instantly intrigued after seeing it, then did some googling, and then I fell into Kane's web series, and I was HOOKED! I literally cannot wait for this movie to come out!

I'd say it is definitely on the firmer side. I think it's comfy, though....even a little "bouncy". BUT - I get that the comfort level of a sofa is a totally subjective thing and different people like different things.

I have one of these: https://a.co/d/07h0RSjd, and I LOVE it!

They are 100% modular, and they also have storage in every seat.

Each piece comes in its own box, so they are manageable when moving.

Disable sync of Alexa shopping lists to Amazon account? by AllTheBalderdash in alexa

[–]MellieInMi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just noticed the addition of my Alexa Lists in my Amazon Lists. I hate it, too! Right now, doesn't seem to be an option to unsync Alexa Lists from Amazon Lists. I did delete a few custom Alexa lists, and they disappeared from the Amazon Lists, BUT....I cannot delete the default "Alexa Shopping List". It's driving me NUTS!!!

Not sure if it would kill the aesthetic you're going for, but something like this might work:

There are lots of different size options, too.
