I just watched the one where Jesse joins a nursing school to be like Blissey

https://m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/EP129

She befriends a Blissey but she herself is not given a certificate. Its such a cute moment of character development for Jesse (reminds me of the episode where you learn about Jamess crazy family).

I think I want to find and watch all the episodes about Team Rockets past lol (I also like the Meowth one where he learns to talk)

Mild spoilers for first case:

So I was supposed to guess that the bloody writing WOODS = the ID for a bomb case L10015R

Wtf lol

Maybe I underestimated the difficulty of a first case

Its also ridiculous that a dying person would... leave that as a dying message

Maybe I should just skip every case until the last two, the only ones that matter in this game. Although I do like Blackquil...

I'd say IV. XI is up there for introducing new players now considering it feels like classic Dragon Quest while being more accessible and having a ton of QoL changes that really improve the experience.

I have a ps4 but I'd love to get it on the Switch
can't wait for it

I started VII but I stopped after I realized that saving the game felt so archaic to me...

Oh gosh.

After a certain scene when Cleo's water breaks during the student protestor massacre I just started sobbing uncontrollably especially given what happens directly after. I cry a lot during some movies, but this movie pains my heart just thinking about it.

A personal anecdote... my mother lost multiple children in childbirth. I cannot imagine what that burden must feel like.

With that said, it's a beautiful movie. Everyone should see it. Just make sure to block off two hours of your life--the movie demands your full attention.

The Grey Zone

this is a fucking hard movie to watch

I took some elective in college about Holocaust movies, and it's the one that without a doubt has stuck with me the most.

Ill watch it. Im also considering ordering Shoah, the 9 hour documentary, but I wish it were available digitally on amazon since I dont use my blu rays too much

AMC is having a 25th anniversary release in their Dolby cinemas

Wow. I am floored. I was still crying while driving back home.

I have seen it once before, but seeing it in theaters, with the full three hours capturing your full attention, is something else entirely.

Its like a piece of literature. So much to unpack in every scene.

I think some people can tolerate it more than I, but the body horror stuff really, really got to me. Especially when The girls leg falls through a hole and her bone breaks. Her screams are burned into my memory now ;_;

I did, however, enjoy the actual dance academy scenes. I would love to watch a documentary that goes through a normal week at the academy leading up to a performance like Volk.

I liked most of them, hated IV (Riggs test was dumb) and voted for VI (that carasouel trap was so intense). I didnt like Jills end in the series so naturally I disliked VII but that flaming bull trap... woah

Wtf

I had no idea what it was gonna be about (I thought it would be like Black Swan, lol).

Turns out its 155 freaking minutes of absolute terror, body horror, and haunting music (with a random song sung by Thom Yorke lol)

Theres a scene I havent been able to get out of my head: A girls leg breaks and the bone cuts through her skin... her screams were the most chilling and real screams Ive heard in any movie... and meanwhile there is a crazy dance scene going on in near darkness

Anyone else watch??

Go watch A Star is Born. It's basically about how she sold her soul to the pop industry in exchange for success. Despite having genuine talent, she got big for stupid gimmicks and regurgitated boring pop EDM.

it's probably somewhat autobiographical, which is why she shines in that movie. She really relates to the part.

Yup, I was shocked at how autobiographical the movie felt
Although she did include drag queens and a gay bar for fan service
I enjoyed the movie btw but yea

The ending of the 1978 flick (with the heavy breathing) was genius.

I agree
That and the scene with the bush were so unsettling for me

They were okay

I enjoyed the first one for its setting (Paris), music (Stromae!), and performances. But it was also kinda cheesy, which was the last thing I expected.

I enjoyed about a third of the second episode. I thought the whole boat sequence, starting with John Slattery's (!!) lecture, was intriguing and actually relevant to the theme of the show. But everything else, including the ending, was not too exciting.

I'll give it another go, but if the third episode isn't exciting I'll stop watching.

Oh my gosh

This movie is horrifying. Theres that scene fairly early on where Kand cuts a mans stomach and shows that the mans intestines are SWIRLING AROUND his body, and Kane puts his hand through one wtf

And then the boar scene... oh gosh. I just noticed it had a skull attached to its head too

And then I was physically uncomfortable as I was anticipating that final scene with the alien. You catch a brief glimpse of it in Kanes video and then it appears and towers over Portmans character... if I were in that scenario Id resign to lying there with my eyes closed until I die...

And the music... the music is so incredible. This was probably my most unforgettable movie theater experience but I loved rewatching it at home

While I dont think its horror, I do think its the most unsettling film Ive ever seen.

I get really bad wifi at home (it's slow or whatever). My Netflix and Amazon Prime apps accommodate this by dropping the streaming quality but still letting me watch a show.

For Hulu, I change the stream quality to the lowest (650 kbps I think?) but it still tries buffering literally every minute... it's so annoying

I'm bought the blu-ray (dubbed) and I love it. Some scenes were executed really well. It's also fun to see the cases done in a few episodes, whereas it takes hours to finish a case in the game (not complaining there, just saying it's fun to see abridged versions at times)

Why do you say that?
I think the drop mechanic is stupid but you can just load up on those items that replenish your drop meter
That way you can play through an entire chapter before switching

Huh, I've always heard of this book but never read it. I'll look into it. Might be too long but we'll see.

For some reason I just thought of The House on Mango Street. I recently reread it and loved it, even though I hated when I read it in middle school because our teacher made us write a full-page of cornell notes for every chapter (some chapters are shorter than 2 pages...)
Thought it was originally in Spanish but it isn't, but might still be good for a read

so like a chapter for reading handouts?

i had teachers xerox a few pages for the class to read before. not sure on legality of it but it wasnt like 50 pages or something lol

Yes. And the chapter is one in the middle so I can't just use the free sample.

And I'd prefer not just xeroxing pages from the book itself (which I own 3 copies of!) so that I can make small edits/annotations digitally for some of my EL learners, if that makes sense. For instance I like to add vocabulary and images around the text.

I'm a middle school teacher and I wanted to basically print out one chapter (just one! I know that this is sketchy grounds under "fair use") for my students to read in class. I'm wondering if buying the ebook from Amazon will let me do so, if that makes sense.

For instance, I'm presuming it won't let me simply copy and paste the text, correct? So I'm thinking I might have to print screen the text.

When I decide to sit down to lesson or unit plan (planning my lessons for the 2 classes that I teach), I usually spend 3-5 hours so I like to reward myself by doing so at a Starbucks
