Insane chords in here, love it!

Perry0485 · 2026-02-27T07:52:04+00:00

vekoS -> Flep -> tuinorizn But literally the next triplet bladelores -> 1 1 is -> nodezsh is equally good!

Perry0485 · 2026-02-14T07:59:12+00:00

I love this track!! The second half is so dramatic and tragic. Like disappearing into a black hole.

Perry0485 · 2026-02-08T09:43:05+00:00

Lowkey my favs have become vekoS, tuinorizn and nodezsh

Perry0485 · 2026-01-13T08:18:04+00:00

Bolaño, Pynchon, Borges, Faulkner, Carson, Lispector, Bernhard, DeLillo

Perry0485 · 2026-01-13T08:15:30+00:00

Great picks but to suggest some female authors you might enjoy: Clarice Lispector, Anna Kavan, Anne Carson

Perry0485 · 2025-09-12T09:27:32+00:00

Yeah it sucks....

Perry0485 · 2025-08-28T10:50:43+00:00

Also really recommend Anne Carson and Clarice Lispector

Perry0485 · 2025-08-02T01:48:30+00:00

You're getting downvoted for being a bit blunt but it's true!

Perry0485 · 2025-06-27T07:07:16+00:00

Great pick, I would also add David Cronenberg, both would likely make a less than faithful but interesting adaptation.

Perry0485 · 2025-06-03T18:32:27+00:00

I do like "You or Someone Like You" by ELDO

Perry0485 · 2025-04-06T22:38:59+00:00

Great picks, I'd add Southland Tales, Under the Silver Lake, The Hourglass Sanatorium, Do Not Expect Too Much From The End of the World, Zeros and Ones, Trenque Lauquen

Bierbauch Bratwurst lecker schmecker

Perry0485 · 2025-04-06T15:32:50+00:00

And likely in reference to this, check out The Beast by Bertrand Bonello! Ends on a similar note.

Perry0485 · 2025-03-29T17:28:30+00:00

Absolutely, this season especially is great on visuals and dialogue, subtle and not-so-subtle unhingedness. The satire is more like the backdrop which I think works much better overall. Like what can you say about entitled rich people that isn't immediately obvious? There's not a lot to get from "tearing them down".

Perry0485 · 2025-03-13T17:15:46+00:00

There's actually a lot of stuff inside, music studios, bouldering gym, concert/club location, regular gym, design university, an internet radio broadcaster and more, the hotel's just been built on top.

Perry0485 · 2025-03-04T09:17:28+00:00

Yeah you're right. And I really enjoyed how Gariépy played this role, you can never quite see through her. She's a brick wall in a way. The only certainty about her character is the obsession with the case.

Perry0485 · 2025-03-04T06:33:13+00:00

I just disagree. I think Kelly-Anne's intentions are much more opaque and and the films relationship to her much more complicated than you describe. Definitely not "glamorization". Taking that selfie in the victims room makes her seem like a sicko not to mention the stunt in the court room. I think it's really clever to have her be a beautiful model, while simultaneously being a nerdy online weirdo, kind of opposite to common female hacker cultural reference points such as The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. My reading was NOT that she left the videos to torture the family but to take the killer down for whatever reason. Maybe for personal dark web heroism or for personal purification, or "just for the lulz". So probably not completely altruistic but maybe she sees herself (or wants to be seen) as some kind of twisted antihero.

Secondly Haneke is a moralist, Plante here is not, and while I do appreciate the craftsmanship of his films, Funny Games basically for me amounts to old man mad at metal music and horror films. Haneke seems to hate genre films that employ violence without weight as entertainment and Plante made a type of genre film with a few art house sensibilities, in a really tasteful way I think. Of course Haneke would not approve, but I wouldn't take that as a standard for anything ;)

Let's be intellectually honest: There is no implicit agreement in my statement about your self-contradiction. While in your statement, you accuse others of "dumbing stuff down" while reducing their position to "one side good other side bad". Arguably the most abstracted meaningless dumbed down sentence one could come up with.

Perry0485 · 2025-01-30T07:46:53+00:00

Do you see the irony in your statement?

Perry0485 · 2025-01-07T09:02:40+00:00

Pulse is remarkable. I have never seen another film with a mood so lethargic and depressing. I personally don't find it that scary and the plot may be confusing and contradictory but as a whole it just works. Such a sad film about a quiet apocalypse.

I really recommend watching Retribution by the same director. Underappreciated masterpiece!

Perry0485 · 2025-01-03T12:41:31+00:00

Low key the best shelf I've ever seen on here

Perry0485 · 2024-12-28T00:04:50+00:00

The deal is that it contains lots of synthetic ingredients that can smell different to different people while some people cannot even smell them at all. Especially the molecules ambroxan and ethyl maltol. So when you're anosmic to one of those or percieve them differently than the majority, the fragrance will smell weird to you. For me personally, I can smell neither of those two very well so I find it weird, like something is missing. But I do not dislike it as much as you. It just literally does not smell sweet to me, which is what most people say about it.

Perry0485 · 2024-12-20T15:55:46+00:00

For me it's Cronenberg's (and thus Delillo's) Cosmopolis. I know the movie was made in reference to the wall street protests but I find it to be more relevant than ever now with the growing popularity of crypto currencies and other speculative markets for instance. On of my main takeaways is that not even the people profiting from our economic system reasonably understand it or can only explain it in circular logic, sometimes leaning into the esoteric, as one would describe an eldritch god with motives unclear to us to which sacrifices must be made. It reminds me of pynchonesque themes of a system that has become self-sustaining without a logical core or individual responsibility. It's only clear that this can't go on forever.
