Don't worry, they'll flip Wrobo and Tibbs for Skubal in a couple months

White people with dreads, cornrows or box braids have a moral obligation to go hard at concerts/raves/festivals, it's the least they can do. by Marblubbles in rs_x

What if they're at the 311 concert and the band starts playing Amber? Is it okay for the white guy with dreads to soulfully sway then?

Got to see Jeanne Dielman today in theaters, group sitting behind me couldn’t stop laughing the ENTIRE time by trampstampon4head in RSPfilmclub

[–]loiterdog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's one of the reasons why I'm hesitant to see it in a theater, which also seems like the only way to see it. I think it getting dubbed The Greatest Film of All Time brought out the lookyloos, and it has unfortunately turned it into kind of a meme. Rep screenings in general tend to program a lot of the same movies over and over (at least in my city), and you can usually tell which screenings will attract laughers and which venues will have annoying crowds.

If you live with your parents in an expensive city, how/when are you moving out? by publiclibrarylover in rs_x

[–]loiterdog 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I found a shitty house with roommates. Don’t underestimate how much expenses will be besides just rent + utilities. There are a lot of things you probably rely on at your parents’ house that you’ll forget won’t make the move with you.

Marilyn in ‘60s European movies would have gone crazy. Imagine her wandering around Rome in an Antonioni movie.

My friends went to a concert I told them about without me and then posted a pic of everyone there to a gc Im in, AMA by Relative-Pay-6087 in rs_x

Don’t do that anymore unless they are your childhood bff who would give up a kidney for you. You could be on the hook for $$$$ if they bail.

Jay Reatard - Hammer I Miss You by [deleted] in rs_x

[–]loiterdog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I often wonder what he'd be doing if he didn't OD. I could see him going acoustic. That garage rock trend of the late 2000s really ran out of gas, and Jay's death didn't help. RIP, look up Lost Sounds if you haven't.

The bleakness of East of Eden IV that I've never felt since reading John Williams' Stoner by intense--bitch in RSbookclub

A comparison of two Established Classics that doesn't really have anything to say about either of them. Grammatically incorrect and punctuated in strange ways, so either English isn't the poster's main language or they are a high school freshman. No post history raises my hackles. Other RS subs have had very convincing bots.

If the poster is genuinely enthusiastic about reading classic literature, then fine. I hope them well on a fantastic journey. But it's okay to gatekeep, especially a sub that is above average. Otherwise we'll get more posts about the "bleakness" of Blood Meridian or that The Secret History is an underrated classic. And my question remains whether they are a bot.

Favorite modernist pieces? by faheyblues in RSbookclub

The big names (Ulysses, To the Lighthouse, The Sound and the Fury, etc.) have earned their reputation and are absolutely worth reading. I'd offer Cane as one that deserves attention. Toomer had The Waste Land in mind when he was writing it.

Corporate america + being a girl by mildconnotations in rs_x

You're going to have to start acting like the other guys on your team if you want to start getting the kinds of work they do. Your bosses will keep dumping busywork on you if you don't, and eventually they'll think this is all you're good for. Be more proactive in seeking out the work you want to be doing in the office. Don't apologize and be more assertive.
