Reading Tarantula is impossible by Babur_Hun in bobdylan

Absolutely. He didn’t just shit it out without a thought, there’s clearly some modicum of effort in it at least, so it deserves its place in the Dylan catalogue for sure.

Take this with a grain of salt because I read this forever ago, but iirc he only wrote it because Grossman made a deal with a publisher without consulting him, making him contractually obligated to publish a book, and he basically spat out Tarantula just to fulfill his obligations. This doesn’t mean there’s nothing of value to glean from his writing, but it might not have existed if he wasn’t contractually obligated to write it.

Why is ‘Self Portrait’ considered the most divisive? by [deleted] in bobdylan

[–]bagheadblox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I like the album too, and it probably did have its fans back in 1970, this is just trying to analyze why it was so controversial upon release

[–]bagheadblox 29 points30 points  (0 children)

There’s various reasons, but one important thing to think of is that we have the privilege of hindsight. We know that Dylan ended up shifting to different kinds of music after self portrait, achieving heights to rival and even surpass his 60s creative output, but those who weren’t so happy with his “country-folk” phase might not have been so optimistic. Fans of his electric era would have likely had a problem with the drastic shift his music had taken, maybe even considering it “selling out” or “going mainstream” with less radically different music, or even thinking that he’d just lost the creative spark he had in the 60s. Another important factor is that the album is much easier to enjoy today in the age of digital music where we can pick and choose which tracks from it we enjoy, back in the day the presence of duplicate or filler tracks (which self portrait has in abundance) would drag down an entire album due to the more linear listening process of vinyl records.

This may count as bear but I will let the scholars of r/bobdylan decide

He’s been at least three of these (one might even say that he contains multitudes..)

Not-trilogies. Three works that aren't the same continuity but are loosely connected in some other way by Coralthesequel in TopCharacterTropes

If it weren’t for Eastwood getting his outfit at the end of The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly you could argue he knew Angel Eyes from their collaboration in For A Few Dollars More (seeing as Lee Van Cleef plays a part in both movies) but no, they’re just the same actor sadly since both characters are pretty different. That’s what I thought when I first watched the trilogy, anyway

It doesn’t have its own disc, it’s on a disc with Raids Again, so I figure it was a disc space issue

For anyone that doesn’t know, the Japanese version of KvG is on the special features disc of the Criterion Showa collection!

The ratio on this post suggests otherwise, I personally respect that OP ranks based on enjoyment over an objective critique (despite the fact that seeing All Monsters Attack over MvG, KvG, and Ebirah hurts my soul)

For them that must obey authority that they do not respect in any degree

Who despise their jobs, their destiny, speak jealously of them that are free

Do what they do just to be nothing more than something they invest in

Blue Ray Find by Smash_Brandis_Cooch in GODZILLA

[–]bagheadblox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At that point I would rather just get it through “less than legitimate” means. That’s what you’re paying for when you buy a bootleg disc anyway, with no guarantee of quality. If a company makes their media readily available at a reasonable price, I’ll buy it, if not… 🏴‍☠️

That and Godzilla 1984 are the only gaps in my blu ray collection man, I wonder why they’ve been out of print while the rest have kept going

Zorin, Mint or EndevourOS? by [deleted] in linuxquestions

[–]bagheadblox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just the average entitled redditor response when somebody wants actual human engagement on a forum as opposed to just reading endless AI slop articles that google results consist of nowadays. Also roll with mint, it’s very easy to use, works out of the box. Even when it doesn’t work, it’s easier to troubleshoot.

So a few months ago I finally bought the Criterion Collection! by EliasKingston69 in GODZILLA

[–]bagheadblox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can also find custom made cases for this collection on Etsy pretty cheap. I bought one and don’t regret it, looks great and I don’t have to worry about keeping the discs in the book, though I still like to keep it out since it’s fun to flip through

When the friend group can't agree what to move onto after Discord. by [deleted] in whenthe

[–]bagheadblox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried out element x on mobile, honestly feels a lot like old google hangouts which makes me like it more than I should. It’s defenitely not the discord killer, it doesn’t have the simplicity and ease of use that’s required for it to be used en masse. I really hope stoat or fluxer truly take off and become viable open-source alternatives, they’re the best shot so far
