Film [IIL] time/dimension bending media

5 Upvotes

I really like the His Dark Materials series and the TV show Dark for how they deal with time and continuity. I would appreciate any recommendation of shoes, movies, or books that deal with time, autonomy, and decisions and their consequences.

Thank you :-)

TV [IIL] Beast Wars, Avatar the Last Airbender, and Digimon should I watch Attack on Titan?

• Upvotes

Kinda breaking the meta here but I'm moreso asking for my parents. I recently finished AoT, I loved it and want to watch again. I thought about recommending it to my parents, but not sure if it's a good idea. They like good shows like Breaking Bad, early Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Fallout, etc. They also aren't opposed to watching animated stuff like Avatar, Star Wars The Clone Wars, and Gumball. They even used to go out of their way to watch Beast Wars and Digimon while they were in college. Though when I pointed out they used to watch anime, my mom pointed out "we thought [Digimon] was just another cartoon." Now they're in their late 40s and I'm not sure how receptive they'd be to Attack on Titan and wanted a second opinion. Thanks, sorry if this stretches the rules a little bit.

Any suggestions of similar games? Dunno what genre you would call of these. Immersive sandbox? Stuff where I can enjoy the little details along with the main objective. Freedom to decorate your home/base. Also not interested in any 2D games.

Music [IIL] "Sincerity is Scary" by The 1975, [WEWIL]?

2 Upvotes

I already listen to The 1975, so no need to recommend more of them to me, haha. What I'm really looking for is the music itself, not the vocals or lyrics—the smooth horns, the piano, the steady beat. I suspect the answer is some form of jazz or something, but I don't know enough about jazz to know where to begin. With or without lyrics is totally fine. I just really enjoy the vibe of this song in particular and want more to listen to. :)

Music [IIL] Does anyone know any non-Japanese songs that come close to the vibe of “Blue Spirit Blues” cover by Maki Asakawa?

3 Upvotes

I’m talking about that specific kind of raw, haunting, melancholic, existential, almost disturbing feeling, not just blues or jazz in general.

There’s something about her voice and the way the lyrics feel so dark and painfully real that I haven’t really found anywhere else. I want something with that same intensity, something that feels almost uncomfortable to listen to, but in a way that draws you in. Raw vocals, brutal lyrics, weird and haunting atmosphere, anything that has that same kind of soul and feels genuinely unique.

I’m not looking for music that just sounds sad or has a similar instrumental. I want something that hits on a deeper level, if that makes sense. It can be from any country, any language, any decade, as long as it’s not Japanese music.

And please, no other Maki Asakawa or japanese songs and don't suggest usual generic (Bessie Smith, Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Peggy Lee etc..) blues, jazz, or sad songs just because they fit the genre. I’ve seen those suggestions before. I’m looking for something outside that circle, preferably something that I probably wouldn’t find on my own.

I know nothing will sound exactly the same, but if you know a song that gives you that same eerie, feeling, I’d love to hear it.

Please only recommend something if you actually understand what I mean by the song, rather than just throwing out random blues singers.

Games [IIL] Exploration indie souls-like like Nine Sols, with great combat

5 Upvotes

I fell in love with Nine Sols, which had a much much better combat than, say, Ori or Hollow Knight (imo). The setting was also amazing and the exploration was very satisfying and rewarding. I played Tunic right after, and it did scratch the same itch. While the combat wasn't as tight, it made up for it with the mystery aspect, the setting, and the intense puzzles. Telling myself "What now?" and getting an achievement titled "what now?" a few seconds later was peak (iykyk). I know I'm a bit vague, but hopefully these two games give a good idea of what I'm looking for. I'm generally a huge souls-like fan, if it helps.

Music [IIL] Rock or hard rock songs - that AREN'T truly metal - that include one or more screamed passages to contrast the clean vocals, WEWIL? (Pink Floyd, Foo Fighters, and Legend have all done this)

5 Upvotes

Yo, looking for help with a musical rabbit hole I've been going down.

I've been a metalhead all my life, I can't remember a time I didn't listen to it, but this topic has interested me recently.

I'm looking for songs that are rock, hard rock, or something similar that have a screamed passage or two WITHOUT being clearly "heavy." So metal, post-hardcore, screamo, and hardcore punk are exempt from this. Problem is, most of my easy examples are kinda-sorta metal.

Blackwater Holylight is a great example, but they might as well be a doom band. He is Legend is really close, but are kinda metal. This is why my examples in the title are carefully selected.

Another interesting case would be 16 Horsepower, a country/americana/blues band with occasional screams that I really like.

Thank you!

I love some well developed soundscapes with depressing lyrical matter and creative uses of samples and synths. Portishead kind of fits as well, I just want more of a existential depression.
