I haven’t seen Burn but I will say Evil Dead has consistently made good films since its origins. This is in light of other films like Hellraiser, FT13, NOES, etc… which had some stinkers.

The issues I feel with it are really the continuity of it all and the lack of a real character or reason to continue on. I enjoy them but they’re just fun good horror without purpose because of the loss of Campbell from his health issues.

Personally, I’ve enjoyed most modern horror from indies or studios like A24 and Neon. I have a feeling that franchises are dead and Evil Dead is just the last one clinging to life.

Though the reboot of Hellraiser wasn’t bad, I want more of that but I don’t expect it to happen.

Edit: Two well made horror films that are slightly connected are Talk to Me and Bring Her Back. Same directors and similar feelings but beautifully well done horror, some wild gore too but both left me feeling something similar to Evil Dead 2 when I was a kid (mind you, Evil Dead scared the hell out of me as a kid).

Similar story.

I make music and keep exploring all the ways I can creatively express myself in a medium that I only halfway know (still studying scales constantly but that’s ADHD) but I started in audio engineering, that just became sound design then I decided to make electronic hip hop and since I live in the south - I decided to rap on it. I plan on learning to sing this year as well just to expand my skills.

All in all, I’ve made enough to support the hobby and have met my favorite musicians from networking and weirdly enough, might collab one day soon but I still won’t make a lot from it but younger me would love my music so I release it.

I work in sales as my day job which isn’t doing hot due to tariffs and shit, so I may have to figure out how to make money in music one day soon haha.

Eyes Wide Shut by Sadistik

These bars lately are helping me go on in life.

I scrolled to find Aes’ - I wasn’t disappointed.

Aesop Rock, Andre 3K, Lupe Fiasco and Sadistik are four lyricists who rotate in my life depending on mood.

Well, tell us who this is so we can support the real ones!

So many people asked “Why not Opera?” When I jumped off the AI browsers.

This. This is why. Didn’t trust em.

Do you have any information that could help me understand how to self-host my own music streaming using jellyfin? I’ve been meaning to learn this as I’m over Apple’s last increase.

Same man who said he’d murder the entire population on social media.

Can’t play high road when the other person’s road is underground.

This pulls in the philosophy of what makes someone “themselves” - is it memory, body, or “soul”. Technically, twins look the same so body could be ruled out that way but I do understand what you mean. I also tend to think of body as a vehicle in this life and not me, just like a car I got given in life. I didn’t choose my body, it’s just what I got given. My personality though - my morals, my believes, etc… that I do consider myself and who “I” am. An argument could be made that as you “craft” your personality or you - it is similar to working out and crafting your body into “you” but some people can’t do that with the cards they were dealt - so I’ll digress.

I just dig the philosophical conversation to be had here.

I’ve been ignoring my phone (I work in sales so I don’t have much outside of my outreach) and reading more. I deleted all social media in 2024. I am slowly putting music onto my phone and soon to stop streaming entirely (I stopped Spotify years ago as I make music and hate them). I do think I’ll keep BandCamp as they’re cool so far but I feel the biggest way to fight is to take your attention back.

Life wasn’t this fast and anxiety driven before they shoveled these apps and content into our faces. I feel it messed with my CNS but who truly knows.

I can see this comparison a bit.

I enjoyed Get Out a lot and my second favorite would be Nope. I wanted to love Us but it felt very loosely written.

Get Out is probably his best due to the subject matter, Nope is a good commentary on animal abuse for spectacle but I definitely see the repeating pattern similar to M Night’s “twist” motif. The big difference is Peele’s films hit more than M Night’s do, where a majority of his failed to stick the landing. Time will tell if he ends up similarly.

Cregger is another comedy writer turned horror director that may end up better, the new RE seems promising and I feel Weapons and Barbarian are amazing films.

I didn’t mind the writing changes but I disliked how bland they made the lighting of a very colorful comic — while not a Gunn movie it’s disappointing that he wouldn’t have wanted more GOTG coloring for something in his universe.

Edit: this being said, it’s still a fun movie and I look forward to the rest of the new DCU.

Weirdly enough, I’ve been in a few places that have different schedules. Where I’m current at, most people are out late drinking so early mornings are when the annoying people are asleep but when I moved out west, it was reverse as no one wanted to be out late due to dangerous roads at night in the mountains. So I was a night owl.

I’m just up when people aren’t because I dislike people.

Also I work with people daily.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_nature

Appeal to Nature fallacy. MAHA runs on this and a lot of thinking that leads to the alt-right, so good on calling this out.

I used to live in a very “crunchy” area with hippies and would catch weird speaking points occasionally, it picked up over the last few years and now they’re all MAHA or adjacent.

Sadly, I’m still trying to get to making something new. Decided to engineer a friend’s 17 track album and got distracted.

I am inspired by Jam2Go’s work with them though. So I plan to try out the hyper pop style with one soon!

While the movement is piece of the past, I would argue that the fight for equal rights continues to this day.

What you said thought doesn’t add up to my knowledge though — Civil Rights was fought for roughly from 1950-1960s. The Civil Rights Act was signed in 1964 when Boomers were turning 18 and the last year of their generation. This would mean that the people in the streets protesting and/or voting weren’t boomers but the silent generation and their parents.

I’m skeptical of Songtradr but BandCamp standing against AI and continuing BandCamp Fridays is still a bigger positive than any other streaming service (even though BC is more of a purchasing platform).

No PE is good but they’re not making evil moves yet compared to Spotify or even Distros like DistroKid.

Personally, Epic Games owning them was the best thing possible as they knew nothing about it but that worked? It was truly a golden era.

Shout out for Benn Jordan as I’d say similar and add in Michael Burns for philosophy and politics.

Where would I start learning about this?

I’ve been wanting to stop using samples for vocals (copyright protections be damned, I just dislike jumping to a Splice sample or pack a friend shared) and I was debating on a vocaloid but also I make future garage and rap over it so my genre is already a weird mix lol

Edit: nvm, I see you did provide links. Gonna try it out!
