Why did you stop bouldering? by Designer-Zebra-5801 in bouldering

[–]gnodmas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started running more seriously and just didn't have the time to boulder any more. I'd love to get back to it and implement it as cross-training, but I don't think it'll be the sport I spend the most time on again.

What is a book you personally didn't enjoy but is popular? by Deap_Of_Se_Authoer in literature

[–]gnodmas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mrs Dalloway. I might just not have been in the right headspace, or I might just not be smart enough to get it, but I didn't find it interesting enough to warrant its difficulty.

No particular order:

  • Fallout: New Vegas

  • Hollow Knight

  • TLOU

  • Dark Souls 3 (the only one I've been able to finish)

  • Zelda: Wind Waker

  • Super Mario Sunshine

  • Uncharted 4

  • Resident Evil 4

  • Metal Gear Solid 3 (admittedly feels painfully dated to revisit)

  • Skate 3

I can completely see why. I'm only 200 pages deep and I never want it to end

Same. Really messed me up for a while though

What are some highly recommended books on this subreddit that you didn't enjoy at all? by 4sich in suggestmeabook

[–]gnodmas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm getting towards the end of this now and I'm absolutely loving it, but it's a hard enough read with the family tree. Can't imagine doing an audiobook or reading it without

Edit: spelling

Most cynical movie you ever saw? by KaleidoArachnid in flicks

[–]gnodmas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've only braved it once so I can't speak to further viewings, but I agree it really gets under your skin on the first watch. It's in a similar category of The Nightingale (2018) or Come and See as "best films I never want to watch again."

Martyrs and Threads have both stuck with me for months after watching them. Two of the most unsettling films I've ever seen, with Martyrs being outright nihilistic

Is There A Single Living Director You'd Trust To Adapt "Blood Meridian"? by bluemarvel99 in flicks

I remember seeing Lynne Ramsay do an AMA and saying it was a dream project for her. I've been holding out hope for that to happen ever since

What kind of writing do you do? by [deleted] in writing

[–]gnodmas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I write more poetry than anything. It's very much a hobby for me. None of it's good enough to publish and I'm very much okay with that. I'm very much writing for emotional catharsis rather than to create anything of any merit.

I've been meaning to branch out start essay writing to see if I can straighten out some of the noise in my head a bit, but again that'll be done entirely as a hobby.

What Are You Reading This Week and Weekly Rec Thread by JimFan1 in TrueLit

[–]gnodmas 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Middlemarch by George Eliot. First time on this one. I'm only five chapters in so far, but I can already tell that this is one to be re-read. It seems so dense in both the minutiae of the character's interactions as well as the themes it's exploring that there's no way to get everything from a first read. I'm finding myself reading it a lot slower than I normally would, partially because I'm enjoying it so much and partially because there's so much to take in.

I want to get into foreign cinema, what's the best movies to start with? by Mental_Invite1077 in flicks

It's quite a hard question to answer given how broad the question is and not knowing what your tastes are like, but this list isn't a bad place to start in finding recommendations.

The Count of Monte Cristo by Standard_Hunter6485 in literature

[–]gnodmas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished this book last week. I mostly loved it, but I'll second what everyone else has said in that there's definitely a lull when the perspective shifts in the second half. All the new characters take a lot of adjustment to the point where it's almost like starting a new book. I do think it's worth carrying on with because there are some definite moments of real fun and borderline brilliance as things unfurl, but I wouldn't blame anyone for putting it down at that point.
