wish they leaned more into this uncanny and unnerving vibe, although season 2 is a strong start

frank black - shows up in town

everyone in town - you're our sheriff!

frank - no

townsfolk - okay sheriff

and now im a liar, because here's some Talking Heads (!!!)

got lied to in the first episode, we got NIN and Rob Zombie

from then on out the diagetic music has been just terrible no-name stuff (as far as i can tell)

there's an episode that takes place at a club and given how people are dancing vs whats playing i can only assume a much worse song was substituted in post :/

millennium (first watch through)

episode 1: im a good guesser, I'm able to get into the head of the killer, im intuitive

episode 18: okay, im a little magic

call me a bene geserit the way I'm enduring this spice agony

oops, made too many kafta .

tragically i may have to cook Lebanese rice for several days to get rid of this excess

tragic

time to return home to better island

i would say im going to miss england, but its only the people, this country scares me

so then, in person, it feels only a small step to "meet someone for the first time"

you've seen the room they call from, their pets, you might have garnered their food tastes, how they take their coffee and so on. the hurry that restricted international phone calls (due to cost) simply no longer exists

doubtless this is nothing new to anyone born post millennium, but its a noted change for me

what an age🥰

it seems a peculiarity of this current era.

I'm older than google 😮 and the tools (and infrastructure) to video call*, so i remember only knowing someone from phone calls and letters. it was qualitatively different.

now i can speak to someone at any distance, see their facial expressions and so on - you get to know someone a lot more than before you actually are close enough to touch

*have to remember to call it a Vidcall from now on, because CYBER

sometimes you know someone for years but only from afar, then you go visit them for six days and it's just a seamless transition to being in the same room as them , its been a good week 🥰

you ever visit a girl, fix her laptop, feed her a variety of dishes, read while she plays the witcher next to you and watch star trek together

*sigh*

women 😍

she gom on my jab till i arr

*extremely incorrect buzzer*

by comparision, if we saw an irish kitchen without a kettle, that would be a conspicuous absence

im just going to say the phrase "protestants put their toasters in the press" and see how that affects anyone outside this island

you can spend a lot of care when translating https://www.korea.net/NewsFocus/Culture/view?articleId=171974

but there are some cultural resonances that just wont necessarily *land* for most people

would you spot something weird in a film set in Ireland if someone visited someone's home and wasn't offered a drink near instantly and insistently

(tea or coffee, we dont hand people glasses of gin the second they come in the door)

its something i've been mulling over a while

Im using this as a hypothetical comparison -

Japanese film - character goes to someone elses house, they go to take off their shoes but there are no slippers provided at the door , would this communicate (i am asking) something about the nature of the home owner . perhaps someone who doesnt have/want guests

I could have seen that above scene *in actual films and anime* and just never noticed at all

first time I played soul calibur I realised mitsurugi is based on miyomoto musashi (because a guy i knew hyped up the book of five rings, which is hilarious at points but not exactly a font of wisdom)

watching Lady Snowblood just now I see Setsuka is based on the titular character

its weird how sometimes v obvious references will just pass me by but the slightly more obscure* wont

*p sure if you were raised in japan you'd just know both of the above, but perhaps not Siegfried? idk

having spent the day circumnavigating adobes online activation for a friend (unable to use an external mouse or keyboard because the damn thing only takes USB-C) my hand *hurt* , like, I wear compression gloves, use a wrist support , ergo mouse, mechanical keyboard, light touch midi keys SPECIFICALLY because years On The Computer have really fucked up my hands/wrists (not to mention some genetic shit I have to deal with)

I utterly loathe macs

"chicklet" keyboards are rsi inducing and i despise them
