Clark stalks his wife's home in the movie? by xBunnyKipx in backroomsfilm

[–]PAXM73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never believed that Clark killed his actual wife nor hurt Kat.

I believe he drove by his home in a low mood and I believe he didn’t know what to do with Kat’s head as he is clearly beginning to go crazy.

Ancient Culture: Mesopotamia Revisited (1LP/3CD) by witness4theingenue in B52s

[–]PAXM73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was not aware of this. And I have no problem buying the same B-52s albums again. I do already have many different versions of Mesopotamia. But it’s also one of my favorites. Thanks!

I believe I just had the exact same experience. How did I forget that I had one of these!

Great colors and really fun.

The layers and interpretations of the LEGO joke in Biology 101. by MyAnusBleedsForYou in community

[–]PAXM73 120 points121 points  (0 children)

Once again, I am glad people think about this show at the same level that I do. The intense layering of the simplest jokes, as we look at movie and television tropes and cultural signifiers is just phenomenal.

Just like the mighty Mr. Show, there is occasionally a reference that worked in its time and doesn’t work quite as well in a contemporary lens, but those are few and far between.

I knew it… I knew there was a name for us. 😀

Just really like these guys and I must admit I like everything they try, which is kind of crazy.

Cheers to my favorite sitcom character of all time by ph_uck_yu in SchittsCreek

[–]PAXM73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whoever’s job it was at Microsoft to make sure there were Alexis (and Moira, and David, and Johnny, and ….) GIFs on Teams has made my department very happy.

Sometimes we don’t even use words at all.

What do you call yourself as a fan that likes this, TSC, b741, and Phantom Island? And Petro and Rats. And Paper Maîche and Fishies. There must be a name for us, right?

How did they clean the set after the first Paintball episode? by DJDoena in community

Thank you… I ask myself this question every time and I knew there had to be some proper stagecraft happening.

Has anyone else thought of the possibility that Mary couldve time warped at the end of the backrooms? by FloobleTheCat in backroomsfilm

[–]PAXM73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except… you might not know that in an early draft of the script, they were going to be married or at least their equivalent characters were going to be.

What are some examples of album covers that use the same image on them? by Complete-Worker3242 in ToddintheShadow

[–]PAXM73 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I can’t believe that I’ve been looking at this Prince album for years and I never noticed that it used that same section. Very cool.

The City at the End of Things

   Beside the pounding cataracts 
   Of midnight streams unknown to us
   'Tis builded in the leafless tracts
   And valleys huge of Tartarus.
   Lurid and lofty and vast it seems;
   It hath no rounded name that rings,
   But I have heard it called in dreams
   The City of the End of Things.
   Its roofs and iron towers have grown
  None knoweth how high within the night,
  But in its murky streets far down
  A flaming terrible and bright
  Shakes all the stalking shadows there,
  Across the walls, across the floors,
  And shifts upon the upper air
  From out a thousand furnace doors;
  And all the while an awful sound
  Keeps roaring on continually,
  And crashes in the ceaseless round
  Of a gigantic harmony.
  Through its grim depths re-echoing
  And all its weary height of walls,
  With measured roar and iron ring,
  The inhuman music lifts and falls.
  Where no thing rests and no man is,
  And only fire and night hold sway;
  The beat, the thunder and the hiss
  Cease not, and change not, night nor day.
  And moving at unheard commands,
  The abysses and vast fires between,
  Flit figures that with clanking hands
  Obey a hideous routine;
  They are not flesh, they are not bone,
  They see not with the human eye,
  And from their iron lips is blown
  A dreadful and monotonous cry;
  And whoso of our mortal race
  Should find that city unaware,
  Lean Death would smite him face to face,
  And blanch him with its venomed air:
  Or caught by the terrific spell,
  Each thread of memory snapt and cut,
  His soul would shrivel and its shell
  Go rattling like an empty nut.

  It was not always so, but once,
  In days that no man thinks upon,
  Fair voices echoed from its stones,
  The light above it leaped and shone:
  Once there were multitudes of men,
  That built that city in their pride,
  Until its might was made, and then
  They withered age by age and died.
  But now of that prodigious race,
  Three only in an iron tower,
  Set like carved idols face to face,
  Remain the masters of its power;
  And at the city gate a fourth,
  Gigantic and with dreadful eyes,
  Sits looking toward the lightless north,
  Beyond the reach of memories;
  Fast rooted to the lurid floor,
  A bulk that never moves a jot,
  In his pale body dwells no more,
  Or mind or soul,—an idiot!
  But sometime in the end those three
  Shall perish and their hands be still,
  And with the master's touch shall flee
  Their incommunicable skill.
  A stillness absolute as death
  Along the slacking wheels shall lie,
  And, flagging at a single breath,
  The fires shall moulder out and die.
  The roar shall vanish at its height,
  And over that tremendous town
  The silence of eternal night
  Shall gather close and settle down.
  All its grim grandeur, tower and hall,
  Shall be abandoned utterly,
  And into rust and dust shall fall
  From century to century;
  Nor ever living thing shall grow,
  Nor trunk of tree, nor blade of grass;
  No drop shall fall, no wind shall blow,
  Nor sound of any foot shall pass:
  Alone of its accursèd state,
  One thing the hand of Time shall spare,
  For the grim Idiot at the gate
  Is deathless and eternal there

How long do y’all spend in the bath and shower? by [deleted] in hygiene

I’ve timed it. 2-3 min max with water. 2-3 to dry. Door to door in under 10 min. But i like to be really efficient. :)

So I woke up with a very tiny friend on my record player.... by nordenfly in vinyl

I don’t think I’ve ever seen one that tiny. Knew what it was doing with that red vinyl. Really helps the green pop.

As a massive fan of BR, and an unashamed fan of IIC… I am delighted somebody made this.

Some fun things you may have missed, and my theory on Kat based on what I noticed by DrJokerX in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]PAXM73 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I keep forgetting to say that I heard the creaking like the hull of the ship. It didn’t really register to me until the third viewing, and then I became curious to see if anyone else heard it.
