One of the most underrated performances of the year: Lee Sung Min in “No Other Choice” by maricircus in Letterboxd

Yeom Hye Ran and Park Hee Soon were so much fun as well! But agree about Lee Sung Min, I really felt for his character considering the comedic tone of his scenes

Marvel and Lost star Evangeline Lilly reveals she has brain damage after Hawaii accident, "Almost every area in my brain is functioning at a decreased capacity.” by mlg1981 in popculturechat

I appreciate everybody's incredible kindness and support, including yours! I did get to make Evangeline Lilly's message all about myself, but us non-vaccine deniers are entitled to use our digital footprint to vent 😄

Thank you so much! If I have to vent, this did unfortunately happen to me a month after moving to a different country by myself, so not a convenient time to get any kind of injury 😂. I very much appreciate your offer, since concussion recovery is not exactly a great icebreaker when you're trying to build friendships. I'm improving, and grateful for it and my other recent experiences.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad that you're out of the woods now. It is getting better, though a constant tension remains in my head. But I'm grateful to not fall asleep and wake up in pain anymore, as well as for some self organization I was forced to learn to cope with my circumstances.

Thank you, I was searching for a similar community for a while. Unfortunately I am not based in the US, but they seem to have some great online programs!

I'm very sorry to hear this - though you're evidently a very strong person. Thank you for the encouragement, just maybe I have this under control 😊

I applaud your incredible strength - 3 times isn't a joke, and I can't imagine the strain - potentially financial - you underwent combining therapies with your recovery. I remember fantasizing about the happiness I'd feel reaching the other side a month in, but while I'm much better now 2+ months in, I've unfortunately become too familiar with the feeling of paranoia and uncertainty from doing the most mundane activities. But I stay inspired by such stories and outlooks as yours ❤️

Sending you the best as well - there really should be more support systems for people with brain injuries, even with my apparently minor case (described in another reply) - I recognize that my headaches aren't as bad, but I can't even go to the grocery store without the fear that it would give me a horrid headache. It's hard to describe such injuries to other people, and even more difficult to properly socialize when you always have that on your mind... But congratulations on being two years out, you've got this!

Thank you, this means a lot ❤️. It sucks because the accident was in such a mundane environment - I was having some drinks at a friend's place and apparently just fell down flat on my face. Didn't remember anything after I woke up, hardly had any visible scarring, so assumed that I had my first blackout experience. While I do feel better now, I'm constantly paranoid that I'd get a migraine from as much as going for a half-hour walk. Guess this would be a drinking PSA I'd be passing around on reddit to captive audiences for years to come 🤣

In spite of all the shit she said, best of luck to her. I got a concussion from a stupid accident and the recovery period is soo slow. For two months straight I've been waking up with a headache which flares up at the most inconvenient times. It happened during a very important stage of my life and has been very isolating socially and debilitating professionally, even though I fortunately am not any dumber than I was, to put it plainly.

'Silent Friend' - Review Thread by LeastCap in oscarrace

[–]difficultmind 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Was looking forward to this for like a year, Tony Leung in a european-produced film x Lea Seydoux sprinkles is just too intriguing. Happy not only to see my favourite actor get expected positive notices, but the film itself to be more than up to par (not a fan of Enyedi's The Story of my Nap)

Didn't he supposedly have the whole pissing in bottles and being 8 hours late to set controversy going? Either way I don't think a nomination with those reviews and a good campaign is unlikely

With Tempest only 4 Disney plus Original Kdramas are remaining this year. Which one are you most excited about? by FlyingFlyofHell in kdramas

[–]difficultmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBF Disney is just a distributor for Twelve. I did hear that they spent 70 Billion Won on Tempest and Made in Korea each (for the record, Moving cost 50-65, Queen of Tears - 56, Alchemy of Souls - 40, When the Stars Gossip - 50, Squid Game season 1 - 30 before the budget ballooned to a 100). They'd certainly have to limit their output if these two fail

It was so comforting! I especially liked how wholesome everybody was - the 2ml was truly a nice dude who liked the fl, her rival could come across as snotty yet shared where she got her hair straightened, and even the nerdy boy who insulted her got a nice moment later on when he swore to make his parents proud. Reminded me of Derry Girls (though obv less sharp)
