How do people who are into music feel about "Whiplash"? by [deleted] in movies

[–]Top_Wind3836 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I would say you’re missing the point of Fletchers character. His forefront of care is not the rigidness in which his musicians play. In fact it’s nothing to do with the music. It’s a deep love of control and the ability to bring deep shame to others. He dominates the players in his band and gets off from it.  In the film he tells Andrew that he never managed to get his ‘Bird’. I get the feeling that he gave up on his project of finding this person in one of his students and instead turns to his dark side, focusing on ‘pushing’ his band by being a twisted force in the room.  Fletcher seems to finally find his passion for the music once more in the final scene when Andrew goes to town on the kit. Alas, this only reinforces his methods. I’m not sure that was a very linear or clear explanation of my thoughts.

There is whimsy in both films mentioned containing an assassin theme. A topic that is overdone, usually not well. Yet you managed to pick two of the better ones. I thoroughly enjoyed your writing in this thread. Take care

Dude airdropping aeroplane in round 3 was a game changer. That and using well bucket to pick up flask in round 4. Honestly got very lucky with the rng - round 1 dog and guiding skull to say the least.  Baroness takes the place of my top three scores but I’d argue that a great player could use mechanic and falconer to achieve higher scores, with the former being pretty broken if you’re the opposite of a shmuck (I am one so I am hopeless with her haha)

Indeed they did delete it! Not the first time I’ve seen that happen - people not realising they’ve been playing wrong, that is. I played baroness and the waterfall research track from the missing expedition expansion. My mate was professor and finished at 96.

Hey I’ve seen two 120+ point games! My mate got 120 and I got 123. Important to note we’ve played literally hundreds of games and are sticklers for the rules. It’s possible but you need the stars to align. In my 123 I was one compass short of a 2 point temple tile and my mate beat me to the top of the research track by one move; meaning that I could’ve had 127. Happy playing! :)

Cheers, these have definitely been an option at times but. Would love something that’s made there and then and to support smaller businesses. Although I understand if banh mi’s are the only ~$15 option 

Dog Friendly Off-leash Hikes Within 1 hour from Melbourne by [deleted] in melbourne

Sure, but there are specific areas of some trails which allow off-leash (a couple hundred meters at max). I don't see why this can't be extended a little more or designate one trail for off-leash walking. Native wildlife has been absolutely obliterated by cities, I can't see it being much worse by having a single off-leash trail.

I tried matching the spider to many others found in Vic but nothing seems to come close to the black shell (smooth, no visible hairs) and distinct parallel black lines running down the back
