I'm very used to seeing movies that depict death to induce shock or to shift the energy of a scene (or the movie itself) but don't slow down to

Example from a recent popular movie:

!Bugonia, when Don decides to off himself in a way that feels sudden and offers shock to Emma's character and the audience, but isn't held in a significant way by any of the characters in the movie, except perhaps to accelerate Teddy's grief spiral.!<

I think this trend largely reflects that we don't have a clear agreement to hold reverence for death in our modern western culture. I'm looking for movies that depict not just death but the slowing down process of grieving, dressing the body, holding grief, hono

hi everyone!

i'd like to go on a solo cabin retreat in a forest, perhaps a national forest anywhere within an 8 hour drive from the bay area. my biggest consideration is the availability of such cabins due to snow - seems like many of these spaces are not available between october and july.

would love any of your recommendations!

I found it interesting that Cohen doesn't know the term masking, especially because at the end of the scene this is exactly what he appears to be doing with Nathan.

He is done with the interview, would prefer that Nathan would leave, and has no indication of being willing to move forward with this conversation. However, he masks these things with pleasantries, saying "thank you for coming in," "good to see you," or just standing up without explicitly or directly naming what is happening.

I'm not sure if the show intends this but there's an interesting corollary to be made between the indirectness of communication amongst pilots and what might be happening in many conversations in DC.

curious how you all approach reading series?

I used to enjoy reading series all the way through. I did this with Coldfire, the first Red Rising trilogy, and a few others. Especially when I'm re-reading, I like to go all the way through.

However, lately I've been letting myself read more slowly, especially reading series that aren't complete (which I didn't do for many years due to ASOIAF whiplash).

Currently I'm in the middle of the following series:

• Earthsea - Ursula Le Guin: I should probably finish this next, all I have left is The Farthest Shore, but I'm hoping to savor this one. It's been nice to read it over an 8 month window, and I'll probably get back into it from the begi

Here's a document with some photos, information about the house, and a form for those who are interested.

The room is available May 30th for a flexible amount of time, up to 5 months!

The ideal person is probably someone who wants to build more-than-friendship relationships with housemates, be a part of each other's lives. But we're all introverts in many ways and love our own space. We keep the house really well (as you can see in the photos) and want someone to respect the space with us. But we also like to have fun :)

want to take my mom on a walk for her bday in june. what are your favorite 2-3 hour walks?

I'm traveling through Paris next week. I've been really excited about the new movie PS1 and would love to watch it with other people and discuss :) Anyone up to check it out together?

Hi there!

I'm very excited to check out Nils Frahm in Munich on the 1st of October! Wondering if anyone would be interested in going with me and meeting before the show for a bit, and maybe hanging out afterwards to discuss the shared experience :D

I'm only going to be in Munich for this one night, but it would be cool to have someone to talk to about the show.

Here is the ticket link for the show

So, I got Marvel Unlimited a month ago to catch up on Moon Knight's character history in advance of the D+ show, and now enjoying Grant Morrison's All-Star X-Men, which is a thrilling ride.

What are some of your favorite runs? I haven't read a lot beyond the big events (Civil War, Secret Invasion, Dark Avengers, Siege). Clearly there's a ton to delve into with the x-men and I'd love to hear which stories you hold most fondly.

It’s the first time since going Sober that I’ve been hit with the opportunity to party for a whole week. My entire company was flown out to one place, and from Monday to Friday we hit up bars, restaurants, and had happy hours at the office. Normally, for me, this means:

• social excitement leading to drinking to excess
• Hungover every day
• anxious about my behavior, especially given I might black out frequently
• running around the day after making amends with people I was with while drunk
• getting sick at the end of the week
• nervous to check back account 🙈

This week marked 140 days sober for me, and instead of the above I got:

• in bed at midnight every night
• a productive week

The 2010s saw me graduate from university and start my adult life, and therefore my relationship with video games has changed. I'm a bit more selective about what grasps my attention these days but I'll play anything these devs put out:

Matt Makes Games

Towerfall probably has more played time on my PS4 than anything else. I've introduced so many people to this game over the last 5 years, and one of the few consistent things I love doing while hosting people. I loved how easily you can pick up the controls, how the learning curve is shallow but the game gets way more fun once you hone your reflexes and attention. Dark World's boss fights are legendary and haven't gotten old f

That's the event link. We unfortunately all have a presentation to give for class and cannot make the concert anymore. We got each ticket for $30 so I'll be selling for that much. Let me know if anyone's interested.

Thanks!
