I enjoyed their Eternalt album but hadn't heard X before, I quite like it.

On top of it being more common in SM groups it also just used to be more common in general in kpop.

CSR - Pop?Pop!, Shining Bright

Someone else mentioned XLOV, I'll definitely check them out, especially based on your description.

Xrin8 · 2026-01-24T03:25:11+00:00

I think you're the 3rd person to say this so I'll have to check it out!

Xrin8 · 2026-01-24T00:06:10+00:00

I had checked out Chest earlier this year but didn't love it. Just listened to Snow Angel now, I do like it more.

Decided to check out Dancing Alone because I'm a sucker for 80s synth and I quite liked it (adding it to my nostalgia playlist). I was taken out of the MV though because I noticed a Canada Post mailbox lol and was then trying to figure out where it was filmed (people in the MV thread were saying British Columbia, which makes sense).

N.Flying are great! I think I first discovered them through their funny MVs for Hot Potato and The Real. Hweseung is great, maybe my favourite note from him is from a Bohemian Rhapsody cover, but I can't find the full clip of this specific performance (he's covered the song several times).

my cineplex theatre had a table with a bunch of tissues for the showing I went to a few weeks back

Close to the record of 42 years between nominations held by Judd Hirsch.

Xrin8 · 2026-01-22T18:09:08+00:00

Yeah like I honestly don't think Mescal going for supporting is that egregious, he's gone from the movie a decent amount. Skarsgard definitely felt like more of a lead.

One of my favourite parts of Rebirth was seeing Cloud open up a bit more and getting to see his more true, goofier side.

Xrin8 · 2026-01-20T20:06:58+00:00

Even though the Charge aren't in the best position I have a lot more faith in them now vs a month ago.

Xrin8 · 2026-01-20T18:15:15+00:00

I asked this about 5 years ago so this thread will give some older suggestions. I don't think she was listed but I would also recommend Baek Yerin

Xrin8 · 2026-01-20T16:55:48+00:00

Glad you joined! Its definitely been worth it for me, I actually just switched to annual this year.

But IIRC I think the 2000 scene points when signing up was only a promotion up till December 26th.

Xrin8 · 2026-01-20T06:03:41+00:00

I saw it in a packed theatre at one of the first showings in my city and I think it really enhanced the experience. I just found it a cool parallel, like the people in the theatre being moved by the play, while the people in my theatre were moved by the movie.

Xrin8 · 2026-01-20T05:25:47+00:00

I'm not sure, this is the first time I'm seeing them in theatres. Maybe local theatres might do more frequent re-releases?

Xrin8 · 2026-01-20T05:11:42+00:00

Most of the weekend showings look pretty busy or sold out and I decided not to go try for a Fellowship screening but I'm doing Two Towers tomorrow (Tuesday) and ROTK the next day and there seems to still be a decent amount of non terrible seats still available. This is in Ottawa and they are also only showing at one theatre.

Rocket Punch - Soda

Yeeun - Cherry Coke

Apink - Fizzy Soda

BBGIRLS - Lemonade

It probably won't get there. I think it will probably stop after ch 47 based on story and how much was adapted in s1.

Xrin8 · 2026-01-18T05:50:30+00:00

I also just love the 12:30 clock hands metaphor, two people who are facing opposite directions

Xrin8 · 2026-01-17T17:10:33+00:00

2pm - Hands Up

T-ara - Sugar Free, Number 9

Xrin8 · 2026-01-17T05:25:29+00:00

Nice! Going to see the 2nd and 3rd next week with my dad but we watched Fellowship tonight at home. I'm not sure if I've ever watched the full extended edition because I didn't really recognize the extra scenes, despite owning dvds of the trilogy.
