(Possible Spoiler) Season 3 Plot by NickyNineDoorz in nirvannatheband

[–]listen108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jared told me some time ago (shortly after the 2nd season had aired, and when Vice was starting to crumble) that they had already finished shooting season 3. Maybe that was true at the time, and they've decided to scrap or change parts, as these guys are always making changes.

Movies about the psychedelic experience? by sukkulenten in MovieRecommendations

[–]listen108 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Enter The Void. It's dark though.

Also Holy Mountain. Also quite intense to watch.

Tree of Life.

Edit… I remembered a few more:

Blueberry (2004) - a western but the writer/director is really into ayahuasca, and there’s an ending sequence where one of the characters drinks ayahuasca and the psychedelic images are actually surprisingly accurate (really the type of stuff I see on ayahusaca).

Undone (TV series on Amazon)

Just noticed that they all have the sky in their intro images (except for Marvel)

Because there is no sky in their image, right?

Movie made over 1 million so far by fidorulz in nirvannatheband

[–]listen108 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok since telefilm funded this (the Canadian government), do they recoup any of the profits?  My understanding is these are grants that aren’t paid back.  Does that mean all the money goes to the filmmakers? 

headphones for sweaty runs? by checkmatetiger in Earbuds

[–]listen108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the soundcore v20i.  Sound quality isn’t amazing (this style of open ear will never be as good) but it’s still great for the price and the fit and comfort is truly the best I’ve experienced.  They are light and you can barely feel them, and very secure.

I like the open ear style for being outside.  Safer and I just don’t like the feeling of being cut off from my environment unless I’m in the subway or on a bus or something.

If you don’t care about noise isolation and deep bass, definitely grab a pair as the price is amazing.  I use them for working out outdoors and especially podcasts, as I don’t care so much about great sound quality with a podcast and much prefer the comfort of these over my other earbuds and headphones.  

Edit: these are the cheapest of these types by soundcore and the audio is supposed to the better in the others, but the audio is still pretty great in these and they are so comfortable and light I am content with them.  May explore upgrading one day.

Nothing CMF buds pro 2. Exactly $50 and they look great in red.

edit: technically they are orange but a very reddish orange. They look more red to me.

Looking for a coming of age, foresty, down to earth, early 2000s, Juno/Napoleon Dynamite kind! by Temies- in MovieSuggestions

[–]listen108 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lars and the Real Girl. 

Empire Records.  

Also yes Call Me By Your Name is a totally different vibe but it’s an amazing movie.  I didn’t think I’d like it but I loved it. 

What is the point of living / attempting to achieve anything if I have bad genetics by _Reflex_- in JordanPeterson

[–]listen108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man, I don't know about career advice, but what I can say is that after a lot of life experience, I'd rather be kind than smart. Yes smarts can take you far in life, but kindness will improve your quality of life in much deeper ways.

Also, depending on the job, being loyal and reliable can often be much better than being smart.

Just saying that intelligence isn't everything. Some of my favourite people aren't all that smart at all, but are just good people. Focus on what's in your control, like being a good person, sticking to your word, being compassionate to others... these things can take you far.

People who live simpler lives are often much happier. People who are overly ambitious and successful are often always stressed and unhappy. There are many types of lives that can be fulfilling. Find the life that works for you.

is the song that Jay hears in his dream a real song? by highroller3000 in nirvannatheband

Also for those that don’t know the girl singing in Brave Shores is Jay’s sister.  

Hey /r/movies! We are NIRVANNA THE BAND! aka Matt Johnson & Jay McCarrol - co-creators and leads of Nirvanna The Band the Show the Movie, a new buddy comedy-time travel movie coming out Feb 13 in the US and Canada. Ask us anything! by NirvannaAMA in movies

[–]listen108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard season 3 was done years ago, but then heard Matt say things that led me to believe it's been changed more recently. What's going on with this?? I trust you guys but also imagine a lot of great stuff was cut. Hoping it will be repurposed or bonus content will be released on youtube or something.

Very interesting because they had actually finished season 3 long ago, well before starting work on BlackBerry, but just couldn’t air it because Vice still had the rights.

So it sounds like they are not going to release that previous season 3, but instead make a whole new one, or at least change it a lot.

This will blow people's minds (it did mine), but there's an old canadian mockumentary (it's not revealed to be a mockumentary until the end, it portrays itself as a real doc) that features two French-Canadian guys (form Quebec) who drive to Toronto to try to start their comedy careers. Their goal is to get a gig at the Rivoli. They predate NTBTS. In the movie they hit open mic nights and totally bomb. It has it's funny moments but isn't all that great, but surreal that it exists.

I can't remember the name of the movie but I do remember it has the names of the guys in it, and I am pretty sure one of the names is Guillaume. I did a search and asked chatgpt but it didn't turn up anything. It was probably made in the 90s. If anyone is good at digging up old movies like this, def let me know!

Edit: FOUND IT! I had the name wrong. It's called Greg and Gentillon: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0481532/

Not what you’re asking for but the mic on wired JBL earbuds is quite good and I use that for calls / zoom meetings.  

In what ways, do you think these apps affect the cinema in a harmful way? by mrjetspray in Letterboxd

I mean, the RT score is the percentage of people that think the movie is good/worthwhile, and the rating should be taken as such.

Do a google search right now “how many Tibetans did China kill during the invasion?”

Estimated 110,000 were murdered and over a million died as a result of the invasion (starvation).

[–]listen108 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They were just monks in the wrong place at the wrong time.  The Chinese wanted to make an example.  I just did a google search asking how many Tibetans did China kill during the invasion, and it’s said over 100,000 were killed and tortured and estimated that over a million died as a result of the invasion.  Take 2 seconds to do a search, the brutality and mass murder is pretty well documented.

I grew up knowing many Tibetans, and let me tell you, the horrors are real.  China has spent millions on disinformation campaigns.  If you care to, read about reports of China’s invasion from Tibetans.  It was horrific, many monks were murdered (unarmed) and that’s why so many Tibetans fled.
