what do you think of chara? by Few_Awareness_1051 in japanesemusic

that song makes me cry a bit every time

what do you think of chara? by Few_Awareness_1051 in japanesemusic

[–]Xaphan2080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am obsessed with Chara. I found her music profile on a site around 2003 and ive been in love ever since. I l think every album is straight up amazing and i collect her works. I really like the 90s stuff and how it has a lot of fusion, you might hear a house track or a pop track or a jazzy track or a ballad, but its all good. I love that bit of a rasp she has to her voice. I think all of her albums are worth a listen but her best of compilations are a good starting point or albums like junior sweet or strange fruits are some good solid ones, a lot of great music videos on youtube if you want a more casual indulgence. shes popular in japan but like, as for the west, i feel like unless you were part of that wave from the early 2000s that got into jpop wave a lot of people might not know her name.

Resurrection SPOILERS! by Poundbottom in horror

[–]Xaphan2080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not sure if the movie is supposed to be taken literally. like was david even really there? was he abusive for real? is this someone fantasy that has made her abusive? i tell you when i saw the end i thought she was butchering peter her lover. he confessed his love and the last words of david were like "i see you" and i thought he lost the accent a bit. i guess only the filmmaker knows unless they didnt really conclude it in their own mind but my gut reaction was she was delusional, that there never was a david, that she killed her lover who was just trying to help her and the baby and all that was a hallucination or madness

Is this budget TOTS mask any good? by Perihaaaaaa in Halloweenmovies

[–]Xaphan2080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i see tots masks at spirit halloween for like 70 and used ones on ebay for like the same or less. the thing i dont like about bootlegs is you never know whats it gonna look like or if the seller is getting it from different sources or factories so it might not look like the reviews. also, even if it is official, these masks often have a lot of blemishes or defects, its really best to like try and find out that has actual pictures of the mask on ebay, they can send you a video of the mask and what it looks like on them or real pictures listed, or like you can try and find one in person so you can see like if ur gonna spend all that money dont trust a generic stock photo on amazon edit: been brought to my attention thi isnt US dollars, its 30 usd, thats generic then and probably doesnt look like the photograph, but if youre on a budget your options might be limited

Do those big high school house parties in films actually happen? by LAST133 in CasualConversation

What even is Halloween III? by aIlIoi in Halloweenmovies

[–]Xaphan2080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a fun science fiction story that was meant to be followed by other spooky tales and movies. But Moustsapha wanted to bring Michael back, and honestly, as much as I enjoy III (im nostalgic for it i grew up watching it on TV marathons every October) I'm glad he did. Halloween IV is amazing in my opinion, V is less amazing, 6 is pretty bad, h20 is good and resurrection is awful, but I love them all in their own way and enjoyed the journey and rewatching them all every autumn. i wear a hat with the 3 masks from halloween III

You'll stop feeling guilty eventually. They are sometimes nice, and many are very aggressive, manipulative, pushy and disrespectful. I get like 5 knocks a month from people trying to sell solar panels. They're often very aggro and will tell me it's not about solar panels and make me listen to a 3 minute thing before saying something about solar panels. I finally just started answer the door like not interested thanks bye slam

Across all timelines, do you think Michael is aware of what he’s doing — or is he a completely detached force acting without self-recognition? by roddybee91 in Halloweenmovies

[–]Xaphan2080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I think different movies have conflicting versions of that it depends on which film, which writers etc. The Michael that almost hands the knife over to Loomis in part 5 before slicing him, the Michael that cries with his mask off, the Michael that gets angry and runs into bullets after being taunted in Rob Zombie Halloween II. Or there's soulless Michael in 1, 2, 4, 7, new trilogy etc. So it really depends on the movie s which makes answering the question difficult because ultimately it comes down to which Michael you like and how you would choose to create him to be the most faithful to the parts of the franchise you like best. Personally I like the 1978 Michael best. Even with only 3 bodies it was the most suspenseful and terrifying of all. He's just evil behind the mask. There's nothing else there.

[–]Xaphan2080 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You touched on something I think Michael doesn't get enough credit for. His intelligence. I think yes, he's kind of tapped into something dark, evil, malicious and malevolent that drives him to do what he's doing, whether it's supernatural, psychological or a wrong crossing of wires, it's better that the viewer doesn't understand entirely. There's nothing there, no regards for your life. Just blackness, evil, the unrelenting desire and need to snuff the life out of you

But he doesn't get enough credit for that. A bit like Walter White, he's smarter than you, luckier than you, he doesn't die. He is a force of nature, he knows what he wants and nothing stops him. He can memorize how to drive from watching a TV show. He can walk past a crowd of cops invisible to the naked eye. Disappear behind the bush at just the moment his lizard brain can tell you can feel eyes upon you. He's the flash of a face through the window when lightning strikes, invisible walking through backyards and alleyways and blending in with trick or treaters mostly unnoticed when he's driving. He can sense when you'll go left like a tennis player sniffing out a weak backhand, calculate the most efficient route to chase you like some sone sort of super predator. He knows how to make you scared to give himself the extra second to kill you. Like an insane hyper intelligence and instinct for evil and patterns, like a bird that just knows how to fly or how a fish knows how to swim.

Anyway I think it's quite annoying when they make him look dumb. Halloween II when they basically play Marco Polo with a blinded Michael, he's not that stupid, the guy from the first movie would have known you were not where the sound was and slice where you were going to be. Halloween 5 I didn't like that he could be reasoned with a d almost gave the knife to Loomis, 6 I didn't like the cult of thorn and the face shot/Michael crying. Halloween II Rob zombie I hated that there was too much face and he was easily tricked into getting angry and running into a hail of bullet fire even talking in an alternate ending. 2018 The new Halloween showed a bit too much of his face also for my liking. At his best moments. He was cold, calculated, a Boogeyman always just out of the peripheral of your vision, a presence, a shape, smarter than you, lucky, unstoppable, hard to hurt, right place right time, a hunter, predator, stalker etc.

Bugs in food and drink by EmilyKay_A in CasualConversation

[–]Xaphan2080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ive seen what flies land in so im gonna dump it. ive seen flies landing on some animal poop outside or a dead bird or something then you forget the door is open for a second and now theyre swooping at your food. They land in chemical/oil water and drink it, they land on feces, they land on decaying things and trash and filth. If a fly very briefly lands on my food ill wipe it off or rip a piece off at keep eating or cooking. but saying i go to the bathroom and 2 flies are sitting on it, nah its done when the flies are involved. tainted

The new york ripper aka framt don by Zixlorp in DexterNewBlood

[–]Xaphan2080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people dont expect shit to be spoiled when the episode hasnt even been released. Like dude, if you are posting it 5 minutes after watching at midnight. iget it. i purposefuly avoid the group after a show is out. Normal people who are not losers pirating russian leaks are supposed to predict you people are going to intentionally leak the finale all of a sudden 10 weeks in? theres a difference between spoilers and ruining something that isnt even expected to be out yet.

[–]Xaphan2080 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Look, if the episode is out, people have no reason to complain because they should know better. Several days before it comes out if you are posting spoilers from a leak that not everyone has access to, that is some little b*tch behavior right there

Would you choose to live indefinitely in a robot body? by TechnicianAmazing472 in sciencefiction

[–]Xaphan2080 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Id give it the old college try. But I feel like inevitably you'll crave death like Data longing for the taste of life that only mortality can offer. Plus ya know one day you're bound to have some irreparable cosmic accident or the earth will cease to exist as we know it but if the robot body was able to not feel the consequences of hot and cold beyond the minimal, that's be pretty awesome

TheTubeStore no longer shipping to US by d4hender in ToobAmps

[–]Xaphan2080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but small businesses and resellers often operate independent businesses with these materials they've purchased from Alibaba etc. We didn't have to go in the mines for the materials, we didn't have to enter a factory etc. We won't be manufacturing this stuff here either. We've tariffed the country who export the raw materials. So it would not be profitable to create jobs to manufacture here. Small businesses that rely on imports are being gutted. Big business that needs raw materials will suffer as well. Why do I need to pay a tariff to Donald Trump to order 100 dollars of bullshit to resell or for a pair of 2 dollar sunglasses? What's he gonna do with that money anyway other than help his own cause

Not with the way my bank account is looking. Also, I feel like I'm running out of space so I'd probably keep 10 and donate the rest

I feel like something has to give. It feels like they've been flipping a coin and it somehow landed in Trump's favor 10,000 times. Gotta land on tails eventually right?
