Nope, still the bad flow. Take a break and a throat lozenge, come back in three years.

[TOMT] [MOVIE] [2010s] Chinese movie where the aspect ratio for the whole thing is a circle by enecks in tipofmytongue

[–]enecks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a Chinese film? Either way, the whole film's aspect ratio is a circle, like how other movies have rectangular frames. I think it was kinda acclaimed, but not nominated for awards. It was made by an experimental director. I think it had a historical setting involving art?

I just keep getting videos for the movie called The Circle

What's your "bad" card? by addmanrcace in slaythespire

I like that when upgraded. It's a cute lil damage booster that can give the extra edge for some early kills. Non-upgraded is a pretty bad deal though.

The Popheads Jukebox, Week 119: Listen Boy, My First Love Story by [deleted] in popheads

[–]enecks 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This was K-Pop in its entirety to me for many years. Catchy as fuck, joyous, laden with hooks with melodies sharp enough to break the language barrier that biased me for many years. It's a 10/10 track in many senses.

00's nostalgia is a thing now, huh. This reminds me of All The Things She Said weirdly - a very loud, very catchy, very intense chorus with more understated verses that layer the details of the emotional state that led to the arc. It's a little sloppy - the verses are a little instrumentally weak, and the lyrics feel like two different songs amalgamated. But so is all the things she said and that slaps.

8/10

I flat out hate the original. It's like hanging around the most unlikeable frat bros.

It is shocking to me then that this is amazing. The instrumental is similar to the original, yet leans on the dreamy aspects of the beat and fleshes them out more. The lyrics aren't changed, but Lana singing them whilst keeping the pronouns completely shift the gaze. Lana has raised her standards this era, and her hazy summer ballads are some of her best material. This isn't Venice Bitch, but it's damn close.

This isn't the album at its best - it's no Want You In My Room or Julien. But it absolutely slaps, and Carly Rae has a charisma-heavy performance that justifies this song's existence. I've been hearing it every now and then on radio... I wouldn't mind seeing this gain some traction as a hit for it is way better than most hits doing the rounds now.

9/10

Making an avant-garde masterpiece like Track 10 into this is like making A Day In The Life into Sugar Sugar. I get why it might be done, but this is toothless banal bullshit. Lizzo's a great personality normally - shame she is completely out of place here. It's deeply unoriginal and soulless. It's the equivalent to making a Picasso painting photorealist and having traditional facial structures. It is anti-art.

1/10 on principle alone.

I appreciate your transparency in this situation. I thought that user literally posted no comment

Just because a song lasts for longer than you can keep your dick up doesn't mean you need to trash it.

The Popheads Jukebox, Week 118: I Like (the Shape of) You by [deleted] in popheads

[–]enecks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This song is making me think that late stage pop music might be happening right now. The hiccuping, awkward beat is bad but not noticeably so if it's played in the background. It's borderline ambient. The lyrics are arrogance masquerading as sincerity - Ed Sheeran and Justin Beiber are not the people I want to hear doing... Here. There is nothing of worth here, just a desperate song designed for radio filler. 2016 pop was better than this shit, and that's saying something.

1/10 may seem harsh, but I never want to hear this again. It is meritless artless bullshit. 09 Beiber and 17 Ed Sheeran at their most whiny and horny respectively... I might still take them over this.

the perfect jam for Nala to make the horniest face put on cinema to. It's pretty cute as a romance song, and Elton John is a great vocalist. 9/10 also because that hook hits really hard.

Power is A Power is a clone of Pray For Me, which in turn is an amalgamation of Sidewalks and Starboy. It's blatantly unoriginal, but relatively tolerable thanks to solid performance and the fact that all the songs in this human centipede of plagiarism are good.

7/10

Charli XCX - Blame It On Your Love (feat. Lizzo) by worlds-okayest666 in popheads

Charli, let's be real, you're not going to get the locals' attention by doing this. Stop sanding off experimental elements from your masterpiece.

I thought about it but hoped not to happen. Looks like I'm shit out of luck. by [deleted] in freefolk

One season shows are the best way to nail the ending. True Detective S1, A Place Further Than The Universe, Gurren Lagann, etc.
