a university near me had a screening of 'rebels of the neon god' earlier today. about 10 people showed up, which was eerie enough in the big room they screened it in (barely a theatre), yet the most interesting part is that the subtitles crapped out for a good 25 minutes in the middle of the movie. how did that happen?! no clue. but frustrating as it was, it was cool to have to focus solely on what was happening visually to try to understand it (but i would've liked it more with consistently working subtitles)
also, it helps that this film isn't heavy on dialogue. something more focused on dialogue would be a nightmare without subtitles.

I love to be introduced to gems from other countries! The only downside is not focusing your whole attention on the action of the screen. I was watching an Indian film and was reading the subtitles but fully wanted to enjoy their pretty dancing hehehe

Because it literally forces you to get off your phone. Eyes on the subtitles babe!

it's like squeezing every ounce of juice out of the citrus fruit that is the movie

i know that most people cool enough to post here probably know this by now, but wired headphones are the best. for audio quality, yes, but also cos i’m wearing jeans with rly small front pockets, so my phone is in my back pocket and my wired headphones tell me that my phone hasn’t been stolen again

substacks are the modern blogs now, right?
i've got my own substack linked in my profile under 'website' (i need to post more often, working on that). and of course, rayne-fisher-quann's substack is top tier. i read her stuff and i wish i could write nearly that well.
as far as traditional blogs (ie, dedicated websites), dangerous minds is a cool music blog that posts (or at least used to post) about random things in the world of 70s and 80s art rock and post-punk. again, not sure how active they still are but it's got that loose writing style and primitive design of the late 00s/early 10s blog era that i wasn't really around for but get nostalgic over nonetheles.

young people (people of my generation) are AWFUL at picking up the phone when you call. even when they're your best friends, they'd rather text and not have to actually generate and communicate their thoughts in real time except when they're forced to irl. it really irritates me, especially when i know they're not actually doing anything significant when i try to call. cmon guys, a good phone call goes a long way!!!
