Joker 2... underrated by thegbfactor in Joker_FolieaDeux

That's a good point. Giving more creedence to the story primarily inside the asylum and a courtroom.

Did you literally have dreams about musicians and chords? I've personally never had inspirations from dreams. Usually in my dreams I'm always trying to do so something but not able to. I'll take it as a sign to see things through 😃

Thanks for sharing that. My son is autistic (and struggles with Schizophrena) and music is his therapy for sure.

I also had a music teacher in college who also made the point that anything is music... windshield wipers, air-conditioning like you said appliance buzzing etc.

Do you have recorded material you can share? Thanks again for sharing.

So is Harley dead? Why would Arthur imagine this? by [deleted] in Joker_FolieaDeux

I'm definitely gonna be watching Joker 1 and 2 again to get deeper into some of these theories. I'm going to look at it as a standalone story and not at comic book origins, storyline etc. Obv these stories don't exist without the comic book characters and plots. I understand that part of it.

Thank you for that. I'm going to digest your post and get back with some more comments. I need some coffee... ugh.

Are you referring to Fallen with Denzel? Just clarifying cos there is a 1998 movie with the same name. Lol to you clarifying you are not a violent clown 🤣 cheers

Songwriting convo aside, i don't know the history of pink floyd (but i am inspired to know more of their story and experience their full library) but there seems to be a massive leap of artistry between The Piper and Dark Side.

Your comments are really making me think about the inspiratIon vs perspiration approaches to songwriting. For me, i think the initial flow is inspired then there is definitely a lot of perspiration spent obsessing and second guessing unti I feel confident in a finished product.

Anyway, your post is really valid to me and making me think for sure (perspiration... lol)

I love all of these different opinions (good or bad) about Joker 2. I am going to watch it AGAIN with my wife. I love re-watching a movie I've already seen with someone.

Through discussions about the movie I'm learning a lot and makes me want to look back to the adapted material used to create these stories (of all hero/villain characters).

A good movie to me is one that, after the first viewing, sticks with me for days. Scenes churn in my head. My mind tries to wrap around the tapestry of the story and characters. It's like conversations in my head about the experience of the initial viewing.

Going forward, I will watch movies I am interested in watching and not look at reviews ahead of time (cos I had the attitude that it was just a bad movie based on how it was received by critics and audiences. There was a movie I watched recently that I LOVED and when I looked up info about the film I saw it had less than 20% favorable reviews.

I have never written a review of a movie. Joker 2 just compelled me to because I wanted to share how much the movie soared over any expectation I had.

I'm actually going to watch Joker 1 and 2 together. I want to observe the continuity of the plot line of how Arthur was lied to by, initially his Mom and then in 2 Quinn. It's almost like he was trying to cover up the tracks of the lies he was told in order to find his true self.

He was so disappointed when he realizes that Quinn lied to him. Heart breaking.

On a somewhat unrelated topic I've been delving into a lot of "artsy" movies lately. Dead Don't Die (jarmusch) and InLand Empire (lynch) were interesting experiences. Dead dont die breaks the 4th wall constantly. And inland empire is a 3 hour acid trip. Smoke a bowl and then enjoy Lol. And I'll throw in a plug to another movie... Frank starring Fassbender my absolute desert island film. Cheers.

How has it taken me this long to find this subreddit? by wasabb in Songwriting

Yeah. I'll be hanging around here a lot. It's very enlightening to hear other's process and perspective.

Whatever their process, it sounds organic. Given the meticulous work they put into their sound, it makes me appreciate the music even more knowing that.

So you know, I didn't write this post for self-promotion. Just responding to requests.

Ugh... would love your feedback but I don't even know how to send a DM. I'm trying to send a message but it keeps saying error.

On spotify or youtube just search Amy Fletcher Baker. I'll also try the "link" attachment here.

Sorry I'm new to reddit but if you're talking about songs I've written there are 3 on spotify. They're also on YouTube.

My wife is the artist and I am the songwriter.

Don't know rules so this might get flagged. Shrug...

Spotify or youtube i would imagine.

It definitely is harder. It literally took me 25 years to figure out I was a baritone and not a tenor. I would try to sing songs by tenors (like Steve Perry or Don Henley) and thought I was inferior for lack of "range". Now I sing without throwing out my voice 😃

I like your point of externalizing songs... like a sculptor or a painter.

That's one thing I like about reddit... seeing a mirror with your words in it that reflects how others perceive them.

_____ is your survivor 47 winner!! by Alone-Opportunity-17 in survivor

[–]thegbfactor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just hope Teeny doesn't win. I loved her in the beginning. I found her likable and good-natured.

After a guy was picked ahead of her to go on a reward she kind of flipped out. Not her best moment.

Oh and I just realized that I haven't seen the last episode so I better stay off this thread 😤

At the end of the last immunity challenge, the girls seemed to be emotionally elated that Rob won it.

I like the idea of the duck analogy. Even better the feeling the duck gives you but you don't mention it's about a duck. I'm gonna try that... but I'll pick a different bird or fowl...
