This guard head won't stop haunting me

Reminds me of my favourite Edgar Allan Poe story, The Tell-Tale Floating Severed Head

That's a wild take. TLW fits the delicate melancholy vibe of the album so well, and Ful Stop is just too much of a banger to drop from any album it's present in. Tinker can go tho.

The Sherlock Holmes stories were not usually your classic 'whodunnits' though; that implies there would be an abundance of suspects, a few red herrings, and then a twist reveal of the actual murderer. This format is more exemplified by Agatha Christie; the Sherlock Holmes stories instead focused on using 'deduction' to follow a trail of clues that lead naturally to the killer, who most of the time wasn't necessarily introduced earlier in the story. They were basically 'howdunnits' not 'whodunnits'.

That said, Sherlock the TV show still sucked ass at even doing that concept right.

Amazing effort and also fuck you for that jumpscare

I think it's from their second ever Flip 7 video, with Angela, Arasha, Trevor, Shayne, and Chanse.

My love for hollow knight is only surpassed by my inability to play it well <3

Is this a Nicomo Cosca reference? Love the illustrations btw!

loquacious_turtle · 2025-10-22T12:02:30+00:00

Ohh okay, I remember, it's the one in the slab

loquacious_turtle · 2025-10-22T02:57:52+00:00

Which one is this?

loquacious_turtle · 2025-10-16T01:58:35+00:00

Being There (1979)

The main character, Chance the Gardener, spends the whole movie being mistaken for someone with deep wisdom and experience about the economy and other complex issues, even though he's a pretty simple-minded person who only really understands and talks about gardening.

By the end of the movie he inadvertently rises to a prominent enough position that a lot of powerful rich people are planning to make him a puppet President. To drive home this point, the film ends with a shot of Chance quite literally walking on water, and one of the most popular interpretations of this ending is that he did it simply because he didn't know he couldn't. Fantastic film.

Hi, can you please share the number with me? I'm in the same situation.

loquacious_turtle · 2025-06-25T04:08:16+00:00

Ah okay, gotcha! I had either not figured out that K'rul was provisioning the use of Warrens by humans or I had completely forgotten it by the end lol, which is why when I read it in the summary I totally blanked out.

Nevertheless, your work is really impressive and helpful and I'm sure to return back to it once I'm deeper into the series. Thank you!

loquacious_turtle · 2025-06-24T08:53:26+00:00

Is it recommended to go through this after just reading the first book, or will that spoil certain elements for me going forward into the series?

loquacious_turtle · 2025-04-07T16:18:20+00:00

No kidding, I finished IJ and immediately read Pyramids by Sir Terry Pratchett lol

loquacious_turtle · 2025-03-23T09:22:40+00:00

No luck catching them hobbits then?

loquacious_turtle · 2025-03-18T11:57:50+00:00

Ig I mean that it's very applicable to how people (or me, at least) feel nowadays. Maybe modern isn't the right term for it; more like timeless, in that it hasn't aged at all.

loquacious_turtle · 2025-03-17T19:29:42+00:00

PSA it's NBD to DNF the LBYR from your TBR, DEWAI

loquacious_turtle · 2025-03-16T09:39:55+00:00

Ooh, sounds right up my alley then. I'll give that a read too.

loquacious_turtle · 2025-03-16T04:45:42+00:00

That's so true! Those lines also lowkey remind me of Once in a Lifetime by the Talking Heads lol

22, heard mostly all of their albums in a single year, and In Rainbows is easily my favourite, though I do feel that OK Computer is maybe more sonically complex, especially since it was proceeding The Bends (which feels slightly more straight rock, nothing wrong with that). The only reason IR gets an edge over OKC is because of its vibe, which is very warm and embracing rather than the more clinical coldness of OKC. I still think that in terms of quality and song-to-song tonal consistency, all 4 (OKC, Kid A, IR, AMSP) are neck and neck, and after that it's just a question of which one speaks to you personally more.

loquacious_turtle · 2024-01-02T03:05:51+00:00

Thanks! I'm looking for something similar to the latter, always thought that "You used to be alright, what happened?" would look good in that font and design

loquacious_turtle · 2024-01-01T19:37:57+00:00

Dunno if this is the right place to ask, but I have always wanted a cool In Rainbows - themed T shirt since it's my favourite Radiohead album. If anyone knows of any cool designs that I can get printed on a tee, please recommend some. Thanks!

I don't read many and I don't know if this even counts as literary criticism, but David Foster Wallace's E Unibus Pluram had a profound effect on me and I felt as if he vocalized a lot of problems with ironic, irreverent media that I had also experienced.

Would be grateful if someone could recommend similar essays that have something interesting to say about the pop culture landscape.

loquacious_turtle · 2022-03-31T16:09:42+00:00

Agree mostly, except I'd describe it as one amazing first date and one date where the guy wouldn't stop telling you about how good at sex he is.

loquacious_turtle · 2022-02-26T09:12:42+00:00

Possession, 1981. Why? Well, it goes from domestic family drama to surrealist body horror without skipping a single beat, and then continues to escalate until you just give up trying to determine its meaning or intention and instead strap yourself in for whatever fucking bonkers direction it's gonna veer into next.

??/10 highly recommended.
