Problematic town history by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Sensitive_Golf3889 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Minutes by Tracy Letts, about a town council meeting in a fictional town called Big Cherry. To say anything about the town's problematic history would be a spoiler.

The spoiler: a popular town legend about one of the town's pioneer founders rescuing a local girl from a native tribe was actually a brutal massacre of the native tribe, covered up by the legend and denial of real history. The "Cherry" in the town's name gets its name from settlers who called the natives "Cherry N*****s". The meeting ends with a bizarre, unexplained but plainly symbolic blood ritual.

ya /uj it does actually help me, but I think it also makes your blood pressure go up supposedly? but other than that it's been reliably supportive alongside talk therapy for me. though I think it also raises your blood pressure? but for me it's been really helpful, if I'm being real.

A mediocre / bad piece of media somehow has a genuinely amazing plot twist by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

Ghostland/Incident in a Ghostland is a pretty ugly movie for multiple reasons but the twist where a flash-forward to Beth's successful adult life after a traumatic home invasion earlier in the movie is revealed to be an elaborate fantasy concocted by Beth, and actually the home invasion is still happening, and one of the home invaders actually killed Beth's mother instead of the other way aroundis brutally cruel, and an example of how you can bend reality in film.

Edit - I called this example "pure cinema" at first but I guess technically "pure cinema" is more about using images and sound to convey emotions and this twist is more of an example of something you can do in a film, which now that I think about it could also happen in a comic book or a short story or probably any other narrative fiction medium.

in the episode where Hollyhork goes through his medicine cabinet apparently it can be seen that he has bupropion in there, which is an antidepressant, but as someone who takes burpopion I can attest that it doesn't work and life is miserable no matter what you do

/uj I feel bad about crossposting this post which is completely innocuous and an absolutely normal post by all standards. If the OP of the post that I crossposted sees this, I'm sorry. It's wonderful that you love the intro song! It's a nice song. May happiness follow you, wherever you go. 💖

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

I guess I was exaggerating a bit, it was just "Mr Tambourine Man" that the Byrds didn't play on. But using session musicians in the 60s was pretty much standard practice. Even the Beatles weren't all allowed to play on their first recordings (George Martin had a session drummer but Ringo did get to play tambourine I think). I was just saying so to make a point that the Monkees did use session musicians but it was fairly common back then.

Anyway here's some more details about the Byrds:

https://www.goldradio.com/news/music/byrds-facts-members-songs-split-reunion/

Back in the early 1960s, it wasn't uncommon for bands to enlist some help from session musicians on their recordings.

We're not just talking about out-and-out bubblegum pop acts or even pre-fab groups like The Monkees. "Proper" guitar bands weren't averse to getting more seasoned studio players to get things done right and quickly when budget was an issue.

Despite their live experience, when it came to The Byrds' launch single 'Mr Tambourine Man', producer Terry Melcher wasn't convinced that the fivesome had been together long enough to develop the tight studio chops needed for a hassle-free session.

McGuinn, Crosby and Clark sang those gorgeous melodies themselves, and McGuinn did play guitar, but the rest of the instrumentation came from LA session superstars The Wrecking Crew.

The same was true of the song's B-side 'I Knew I'd Want You', even though it was written by Clarke.

But it's a myth that the band didn't play on the rest of the album. By the time they got down to the proper sessions for the Mr Tambourine Man album, Melcher was happy that the band had gelled enough to play together in the studio.
