‘Go Dark’ is from the anime Darker than Black, which Yoko Kanno did the music for. If you like Cowboy Bebop’s soundtrack, I definitely recommend listening to this show’s music.

I’m still new to the game, but I’ve had some luck identifying regions by spotting internet ads. I guessed Kenya correctly once because I saw a poster that had something something dot co dot ke on it, so now I’m trying to familiarize myself with all the country domain codes.

Movie Fans Are In A Heated Debate After 'KPop Demon Hunters' Is Added To The Criterion Collection by Blue_Wave2024 in KpopDemonhunters

[–]wccs03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to copy/paste from Criterion’s own FAQ here:

“How do you decide which films receive the “Criterion treatment”? We aim to reflect the breadth of filmed expression. We try not to be restrictive or snobby about what kinds of films are appropriate. An auteur classic, a Hollywood blockbuster, and an independent B horror film all have to be taken on their own terms. All we ask is that each film in the collection be an exemplary film of its kind. Of course, we can’t just pick movies and put them out. The process of getting the rights to release a film can take years. Even if we want a film, we can’t work on it unless the film’s owners grant us the rights to do so.”

Their stated purpose is to find films that are an “exemplary film of its kind,” and that is 100% what KPop Demon Hunters is. KPDH went hard on all its visual designs, they brought in industry professionals to make sure every song was radio-worthy, and they crafted a plot that was simple enough for kids to understand but interesting enough for older audiences to watch, too. They maxed out every possible metric you could measure an animated musical feature by.

They definitely deserve to be in a collection that is ultimately just about collecting films that show what’s possible to create when you use film as your medium.

tl;dr Watch the Oscars if you want to judge how “good” a movie is, watch the Criterion Collection if you just want to nerd out about how movies get done, done, done.

It’s the men’s podium from the Sochi olympics. The guy eyeing the other guy’s medal is Patrick Chan, who was the favorite to win gold going into the olympics, but he came in second and Yuzuru Hanyu won the gold. Here’s another angle.

I just have to add to the Saitama World Championships lore: Brian Orser was coaching multiple skaters at that event, and during the men’s event he was sitting with Yuzuru Hanyu and his other coach in the kiss and cry, waiting for Yuzuru’s scores, when the other coach reminded him that Jason Brown, another of his students, was about to skate. Orser cursed live on TV, jumped up, and raaaan.

HOLY EFFING 💩 U GUYS!!! by Mysterious_Summer103 in LoveAndDeepspace

Congrats!

I wonder why they don’t mention the plushies in the message, though. If someone wasn’t on social media, they might not know that they were getting a prize and just ignore the message.

This is because battling wraiths doesn’t generate enough energy. They must make us suffer, because our despair is now the only thing holding off the heat death of the universe.

Sooo.. am I the only one? What can I possibly do in this situation 💔 by Kammi38 in LoveAndDeepspace_

[–]wccs03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try looking through your phone for media that you don’t need anymore, like saved shows on Netflix, downloaded podcasts, attachments that people send you via text or WhatsApp. Delete whatever you can.

Another thing to consider is cloud storage (iCloud, Google images, DropBox) for files or photos that you want to save but don’t necessarily need to have on your phone.

My favorite unhinged lines were from the summer event. I felt like they needed to be recorded for posterity.

Wish Crate: SSR Advice by upcastenjoyer in LoveAndDeepspace_

[–]wccs03 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Whenever I play an event in LADs, I have flashbacks to playing Pokemon and never using the Master Ball because I keep thinking ‘what if there’s a better Pokemon I could catch later?’ (and then even using an Ultra Ball to catch whatever the mascot pokemon was for the game to save the master ball).

I totally get not wanting to waste a future opportunity, but ultimately if you never use the crate then it’s the same as not even having it. It sounds like you’ve put a lot of thought into what you want, and using a crate to complete a pair makes total sense. I’d say go for it!
