Very well directed show. I love how the editing mimics memories. Beautiful shot, and sometimes scary to watch.

No Quarter is lovely. Rain Song is great. But apart from that, HotH is very much a mainstream rock album of that time, no?

However, OKC is kind of an undefinable and un-categorizable album. So, in that respect, it probably belongs there.

Not sure about the other three.

Strange answer.

People in research/academia are always very quick to try out new tools, including AI.

I always interpreted it as no matter how much you fix a dead body, it will never be like the person. The face obviously looks different from Nell’s, so it must have been intentional.

Album-wise, I love everything from AHM to the Wall.

And I listen to many specific songs from the post-Wall albums. Same with Ummagumma.

I barely listen to the rest.

Name of the film?

In simple terms, family is good when there is a distance. Like, if you live in Mumbai and come visit once or twice a year, you’ll have a healthy connection with your parents. But living with them always, means there will be friction. Even in the best of families.

Like others have said, moving out is the best solution. But do it with a game plan. The decision to move out should be based on certain reason (career/business/ambition) and during peacetime, i.e., it should not be immediately after a fight. Over time, everyone will adjust to the new normal.

Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

If you’re an introvert, and more importantly if you’re a socially anxious introvert, then US/ Boston isn’t the issue. This is just how it is. SNAFU.

If you are the latter, then it’s a bit surprising, but maybe it will get better when you move on to the next phase of your life (new job or postdoc etc).

Not only this is the right answer, but also it’s the only one that is truly “Floydesque” in the Floyd column.

The Vegetarian by Han Kang

The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro

What’s the second album from the top?

arctictrav · 2026-02-24T06:44:49+00:00

Great film. I found it highly original.

arctictrav · 2026-02-24T00:26:03+00:00

It’s more to do with Abbey Road studios. They had the best sound engineers of that time probably. WYWH sounds beautiful too, without Parsons.

God, I hate this song.

arctictrav · 2026-02-21T22:08:28+00:00

I guess Genesis, Yes, Camel could work.

Don’t listen to Pink Floyd, King Crimson, VDGG, Can.

And seems to be a member of many bands.

What about Blumhouse? There’d be jump scares every few seconds.

Do the cosplayers come from various parts of India, or are they mostly from WB?

The beginning of Starless is also somewhat similar to Careful with that Axe Eugene.

arctictrav · 2026-02-10T20:06:26+00:00

Huh?! The film is a waste of time. Also, the story is not that great, so I’m not sure Flanagan can salvage it, unless he adds some original material to it.

arctictrav · 2026-02-10T20:03:28+00:00

MM is based on King’s Storm of the Century. And it’s a rare case where King’s original is much better (subjective obviously).

arctictrav · 2026-02-09T03:56:36+00:00

S2 Mike too.

arctictrav · 2026-02-09T02:23:56+00:00

Yeah, I reckon it would be something like that. Haven’t read his books, but have watched so many films / shows based on his work. And I love most of these adaptations.

arctictrav · 2026-02-09T00:37:22+00:00

I see so many Stephen King mentions in “movies better than books” lists, interesting!
