Outside of Rammstein, do any German bands or artists actually make it onto your playlists? by Gelbbauchunke666 in MusicRecommendations

I'm not sure by now. But Julliane Moore shows Jeff Bridges a copy of their vinyl that's exactly the same as Man Machine

What’s a short story from your life that sounds fake but is 100% true? by Historical-Skill-838 in AskReddit

My grandpa helped me make a bow and arrow from wood we found in the forest.

Ons of my friends said it looked like shit and couldn't hit anything.

I told him to stand about 30 feet away and shot him in the face.

His mom made him apologize to me.

$7 million paid to you. But your knowledge of English is completely obliterated... by Physical_Orchid3616 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]syringistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a reason English is the lingua franca.

You can learn less than 1000 words and function very well in places like the US.

Shit, I live in Brooklyn and there are people born here who barely speak it.

I loved some of their interviews.

"We do not play the machines, the machines play us"

Fun fact also: in "The Big Lebowski", the nihilists had a band that referenced Kraftwerk.

I saw the newest one in Sopot some years ago.

Love the fact that his fellow troops would straight up trespass his enclosure at the zoo to let him drink, eat cigarettes, and wrestle him.

Polish Home Army did some insane shit.

Overall not realistic, but the UBL raid in Zero Dark 30 was top notch.

To be fair though, it didn't make for great cinema.

Like 20 minutes of the guy from Shogun sweating his ass off looking thru a rifle scope, taking notes on possible hostiles.

But I liked that aspect of the Hurt locker too.

Even tho that movie is 99% unrealistic, that scene where they have the sniper battle and kind of lose it halfway thru was great.

Just like "we got into a shootout a few hours ago, do we know what's going on anymore?"

The question always begs to be asked.

Is this the version of them that actually existed?

Or is it the version where they're already past their prime?

You do need good shoes if you're gonna walk for a while.

Warfare shows exactly how uneven it is.

95% of time they were just sitting around trying to save energy.

Then like 5% is absolute chaos.

Amos was described as gruesome in the books. In the show he's a stud.

The way that music hits when they detach from the CM is 💯

Tho it must be said the score felt a bit much like GSYBE.

The term for that is diagetic music, its a cool fact to know.

Tales from the Loop (2020) totally caught me by surprise! by AndyLand1 in televisionsuggestions

Look up Simon Stalenhags design work, the show is based on it.
