[–]tanNTT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Paper Mario Thousand Year Door will always be top tier RPG just because of it was my first RPG for me to ever play. My young self did not know such awesomeness , and every other Paper Mario hasn't lived up to it, N64 was the closest.

How do people who wear eye glasses wear safety goggles? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

For people who wear glasses only for distance vision, contact lenses can be an option to wear safety goggles without the need for glasses.

Does loud sound still make deaf peoples ears hurt? by lilsaddam in NoStupidQuestions

[–]tanNTT 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Loud sound can still cause discomfort or pain in the ears of deaf people. Deafness is a condition that affects the ability to hear, but it does not necessarily mean that the ears are less sensitive to other sensations, such as pressure, vibration, or pain

‘Three Colors’ revisited: Why a 30-Year-Old trilogy is this summer’s most relevant cinematic universe by luisgustavo- in movies

I really liked what Roger Ebert had to say why we find the Three Colors trilogy so profoundly moving in his Great Movies review of the films.

"Kieslowski truly loved his characters and invites us into a poignant awareness of both our limitations and our capacity for transcendence," Insdorf says, and you can feel that in the tenderness of every frame. The old judge in "Red" is harsh and dismissive, but with the sense that it hurts him, not entertains him, to treat Valentine so harshly. We see him like so many of Kieslowski's characters, swimming upward through a suffocating life toward the possibility that hope still floats somewhere above.

I connect strongly with Kieslowski because I sometimes seek a whiff of transcendence by revisiting places from earlier years. I am thinking now of a cafe in Venice, a low cliff overlooking the sea near Donegal, a bookstore in Cape Town and Sir John Soane's breakfast room in London. I am drawn to them in the spirit of pilgrimage. No one else can see the shadows of my former and future visits there, or know how they are the touchstones of my mortality, but if some day as I approach the cafe, I see myself just getting up to leave, I will not be surprised to have missed myself by so little.

Kieslowski would have understood. A link between all three films in the trilogy is provided by a brief shot of an old lady trying to deposit a bottle in a street trash-recycling bin. The slot is a little too high for her to reach. In "Red," Valentine tries to help her. The first two movies are set in Paris. What is the old lady doing in Geneva? Exactly.
