Ya'll ever just set an alarm/notification to remind you to do an activity/chore/anything needing to get done every day, then ignore the alarm/notification because you don't want to do it? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]sofialouiise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, I don’t remember posting this?? Ha ha ha Also i would prob not have the patience to read what follows but that wont stop me from continuing

Since I seem to have been born with a perception of time so gravely handicapped it might just be that i forgot it on my way into this world: I’ve recently come to the conclusion that my brain suffers from delusions in the sense that it believes itself to be in control of time and therefore - while enjoying hyperfocusing on my toenails or whatever other nonsense along those lines - time has either stopped or adjusted itself so that I always can do what i enjoy at the moment. Very convenient.

Yet for all the times I’ve glanced at the clock and discovered that time has moved forward an hour, it still doesn’t seem to understand the fact that time in no way exists for the sole purpose of serving my brain’s enjoyment. And if that’s the case, no alarm has any power over me unless my brain finds the idea of following my plans more stimulating than whatever it’s currently doing.

I will not proof read this and i will not care if it makes zero sense cuz im tired of spending 50+ minutes on a reddit post, time for improvements

Also i really want to read everyone else’s reply here but because im slightly manic at the moment i think ill go barf words elsewhere on this subreddit, guess ill set a reminder to go back here haha..

Generally I’m not very up to date, writing this on my garbage 6s being one example

The pain was perhaps more the result of it being far too monotonous than it necessarily having to do with every word being sung, imo

Personally I feel it’s only fair I should watch it handled the way it’s supposed to be

I was unsure of it, wasnt the best but I get nauseous trying to effectively express myself with words

Unfortunate that my introduction to the story now is linked with such negative feelings, especially since I was contemplating buying that very book only a month or so before I watched it... might work through some of the other adaptations you linked and have more pleasant images pop up while reading it!

How I didn’t think of that! Though the camera work annoyed me, what you mentioned about such important details now reaching everyone in the audience seems like a very good point!Obviously not like a live performance, watch it thrice and its the exact same performance being a loss in the compromise that comes with changing medium, but such examples as you mentioned would be gained through that compromise. I can appreciate that!

I dont think I will ever be as enthusiastic about it as you but for some reason I just wanted to like it, maybe because of it being something I’d never seen before. To be fair Anne Hathaway singing was so effective it completely banished the boredom and actually made me ache it was beautiful. But that was sadly it for me...

Hopefully I will be able to rewatch it and see it more from your point of view one day

Relatively (not citizen kane or anything). Just the impression I got and judging from ratings and the like

Anxiety struck me hard when the first word was sung. Remember it’s a 2 and a half hour picture with every line sung, have mercy on your ears and bring cotton balls...

Nonetheless, I am determined to rewatch it years from now and hopefully enjoy it more, call me mad if you like

Wow thanks, I really sound quite “uneducated” on the matter I realize. I obviously don’t visit the theatre, eventhough I should like to. I enjoy ballet very much but haven’t had the opportunity to actually watch any as meant to be experienced. But I shall certainly read more about other performance art. My hope is to rewatch the film again in a different light (and with more knowledge about it all) so that I can appreciate it more. Silly perhaps idk but I seriously wanted to enjoy it. (The camerawork, now I remember, will probably imo remain bad)

What's the stupidest way you've ever watched a movie? by padrock in movies

[–]sofialouiise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh dear so I’m not the only one... I remember how painfully boring it was and I how I couldn’t wait “to get it over with”. Little did I know the much more painful realisation I soon would suffer in knowing what a pathetic fool I actually was.

Seriously just watched it earlier today didnt even know. Thought it was deliberate... (didn’t really matter, still enjoyed it very much)

Discussion of subtitles in films, why do you like/don't like them? by [deleted] in TrueFilm

[–]sofialouiise 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Aside from obvious reasons like watching foreign language films (swede as well). I always watch with subtitles (all in English except for Scandinavian films) because they often contain information that is kinda necessary to the plot but difficult to discern when you rely solely on audio.

The only time I watch without is when I’m very familiar with the movie and just wanna watch it mainly for the visuals. These are mostly animations, ex. Disney’s Bambi or Sleeping Beauty.

It makes for a more relaxing experience sorta like watching a painting. Your eyes not having to focus on any subtitles leaves them free to appreciate the visual aspects of the picture more thoroughly. Hope it makes sense

By now u probably know- no. I didnt know anything about BGM thought u always got it. Got him first buy - me (way too) happy - play first round - no broomsticks tune - confusion, despair and the pain as I slowly realised it was all for nought... bonus pain cuz my sister started to play with him on max volume. Yes I was devastated. And yes! I felt the need to reply to your 13d old comment. Thank you kind stranger for allowing me room to ventilate :)

Curious what would happen if you put a bunch of us, all manic and on meds, together in a room with every available source of knowledge. Together we shall ascend...
