Brett Anderson recommended Homogenic by Bjork in Music (curated)

 
Homogenic by Bjork
Homogenic by Bjork

Album Favorite

"I used to love the Sugarcubes, and then her debut album came out and I thought it was alright, I was going for different things and locked into Suede so wasn't really receptive to it. Then she gradually filtered through to me. Homogenic won out over Vespertine because of a few songs, like 'Jóga'. It's so beautiful, so atmospheric. There are few people that I actually listen to and am not a little disappointed by, or think I could do that. With her, it's, 'Woah.' She's one of those people who make music that I actually marvel at, I really do. She's incredibly talented. For me she's one of the few modern artists who are actually up there with the all-time greats. The music industry has to say that all these people are comparable to so and so, but she really is. Something like Biophilia suits her and suits her music. The music is intelligent for a start, but that really suits her sense of vision."

Tommy Wiseau recommended Casablanca (1942) in Movies (curated)

Movie Favorite Watch

"Casablanca. You see, Casablanca remind me what we have within The Room, some of the phrases. For example, I say, “Oh, you make my day,” or, “You are tearing me apart,” or whatever. I’m talking about the other movie as well, just paraphrasing some of those phrases. You see, The Room, people never give us credit, okay? And now everything turn around because people now, and especially the critic, which can be very tough as you probably… Including your company. But, again, let me explain something here. Hopefully you guys print this. Please don’t misquote me, but it’s nothing wrong to criticize anyone, included film, play, whatever. But it is wrong when people started doing not just a critique but get into sort of hatred mode. You know what I’m saying? So I think it’s very important to understand the structure what I present, related to The Room now, I presented 14 years ago, based on my vision, which people did not expect it, this kind of vision, because it was, basically, it was different cookie cutter from Hollywood. I said this many times, but as you know, I’ve been ignored but fans embrace that."

Humankind sets out to prove that human beings are essentially nice people who want to help other people. Except over the centuries, philosophers, politicians and other influential people have told us the complete opposite - to the point that we believe it. I think Bregman is successful at this as well. Help does come in the most unexpected places, as we’ve seen recently in towns and cities across the UK during the coronavirus pandemic. Yes, there are those who take advantage of others, but I’d like to believe that they’re in the minority.

This is a really engaging, easy to read book, with some great examples. Bregman looks at studies and experiments that all types of scientists have done, and also looks at some real life examples.

This book left me feeling very positive about the state of humanity, and I hope that the good people in our societies will always outnumber the bad.

I really do highly recommend this if you’re prevaricating over whether to read it or not. It’s a great read.

Many thanks to The Pigeonhole and Rutger Bregman for reading along!

Very informative about a gender fluid teen and the daily struggles. (0 more)
No problems that I noticed (0 more)
Adorable! Highly recommend!!
Very well written, and is great to show people the gender fluid/ non-gender side of LGBT. ? it shows struggles and how they deal with it. Also there isn't a romance here, which most LGBT do have some kind of romance plot, but this book doesn't. Which is great for those who don't want mushy stuff or romance. ??? VERY highly recommend!!!

Just a suggestion here, why not add the ability to recommend similar movies, books, games etc to what you are reviewing. A box that would then serve as a link to those recommendations might help people find other items that they may enjoy. If a particular thing has multiple suggestions that it is similar to something that could then be added to the main page of the item. For example Gone girl might have a link to something like Girl on the Train.

Probably of more general use on the item page. Then if you are browsing, for example to find a film you u might want to watch now, you can go to one you have previoysly liked for suggestions.
