    ^ yeah those are always nice to watch, I did a similar thing not so long ago, a 30 second walk over a fun fair stretched to 20 minutes. jasondonervan knows what I'm talking about.

    one time there was a man and he had a door so the door went *knock knock* and the man opened so it was the autechres

    Probably won't be that long considering he planned to release it last year. Expecting an announcement in March or so.

    The Hobbit Part 2 - Well, I said it in the other thread. CGI / 10 The Call - I liked it (except the rubbish final 30 minutes), although it's a bit of a letdown that Brad Anderson who previously directed The Machinist & Session 9 decided to merely make a slightly above-average thriller this time round. But there was a lot of tension so I was well entertained. 7 / 10 The Good Son - Weird 1993 psycho/thriller movie starring Macaulay Culkin & Elijah Wood as kids doing messed up shit. Kinda like a realistic version of Home Alone or Dennis The Menace. Over the top but in that charming early 90s way so it can get away with it. This one is especially creepy for everyone who (like me) used to hang out with that one weird neighbor kid your parents didn't want you to play with when they were younger. Kinda like a bad childhood dream. I also loved the snowed-in coast town setting. 8 / 10 Festen (The Celebration) - First of the dogma-movies, shot using handheld mini DV type cameras and the likes. Very funny and original. 10 / 10

    I for my part am more optimistic regarding the new year.

    Oblivion, two attempts, one of which I was lucid during. Fell asleep both times though so I only saw the first half so far. I know this is a terrible way to watch movies. Anyway, the world and design are super-neat. I really liked the feeling of post-apocalyptic Earth and the ultra-weird sky-condo. But the plot and characters seem to fall pretty flat unfortunately.

    It does sound a bit related doesn't it? The breastfeeding thing might make sense, too - You wrote you were accompanying them on their protest. So where you like "morally supporting" these women in the dream, yet noticing their intriguingly big breasts and nipples sticking out, but they didn't expect you to be interested in those sexually? Like I said, I'd interpret the public breastfeeding as a simple metaphor for the open display of female attributes and sexuality, similar to when a female friend of yours is wearing a sexy dress or something but expects you to just "deal with it" and not be looking down her cleavage because you're "just a friend". Might be your subconscious' way of dealing with your attraction for this lady. The shadow person you hid behind could be a sort of projection (not the kind from Inception...) of an aspect of you, the one that is cautious and wouldn't make a move on a married woman, the Freudian Super-Ego if you will. The one the dude couldn't shoot and was challenging to move out of the way before he would attack? Maybe useful interpreting. Maybe just watching too much In Treatment lately... edit: I realize this is getting kind of personal...sorry? well it's watmm after all.

    Shame!

    It's a quite simple and yet very emotional track for sure. I actually don't play it that often because I don't want it to wear off.
  11. Terpentintollwut
    I know interpreting dreams is pretty much impossible if you don't know the person but it sounded like there's a theme of displaying female attributes and the extending gun seems like an obvious penis that is a threat. Really reaching with this but are you perhaps jealous of somebody hitting on a female friend of yours or something along these lines? Would be awesome if I got it right.
  12. Terpentintollwut
    That supports my theory - you complained about it in a watmm post and your subconscious picked up on that. But I never get the third person view either. I sometimes see stuff or observe situations that don't include me at all from a third person perspective, like a movie or something, but I never see myself from another angle. I'm always looking through my own eyes.

    You will remember more details about your dreams once you start writing them down. Anything, even if it's just a few keywords or a general theme you can recall. The more you focus on it in your awake state, the more it will "bleed into" reality next time. What happens in your brain when dreaming is somewhat similar to what's going on during a defragmentation on your PC. Data/Memories are being accessed and put into place. Your brain knows that these are not really necessary thoughts or information for survival IRL, so you actually dream (almost?) every night but your brain, by default, is set to throw out these memories once you wake up. So when you train to access these "sectors" of your brain, these memories won't immediately get recycled and you will remember your dreams more vividly. I started with writing down keywords or recording bits and fragments on my mp3player immediately after I got up - these days it takes me up to an hour to write everything down because I remember so much of it. Like lines of dialogue that I can recall word-by-word (which I'm especially fond of cause they're always so messed up). When I don't write anything down for a few weeks, my brain goes back to its default state and I stop remembering my dreams as much. Try it out, this has worked for everyone so far. I also tried Hypnosis once, had somebody hypnotize me and ask me questions about a certain dream that I "needed" to recall for a project I was working on, and it did made me recall further details (I recorded the session to check later) but I'm not sure whether these were actually there in the original dream or whether I "added" them in my hypnotic state.

    ^Seems pretty obvious to me! You're worried about hurting somebody's or your own feelings in case you "dig too deep", ask too many questions, think too much about certain things. Probably comes down to accessing some repressed memories. Could be something important that happened in your life, but could also be pretty banal. Hard to tell from the outside. [/FREUD]

    I got just the thing for you (I think)! The album is Aeonian Glow by Vir Unis. Don't bother checking YouTube for it, there's only one Vir Unis track on there and it's not as good. But Aeonian Glow is one of the most intense deep Ambient pieces I know. Oh, also The Place Where The Black Stars Hang by Lustmord. The track Metastatic Resonance is downright fantastic, too! We have similar tastes! Check out the channel that Loscil track is uploaded to. I found tons of interesting stuff there years ago, it's still online!

    The before-pictures have shitty lighting, no make-up, horrible image quality and white balance and the people don't make straight faces in a lot of them. Still, that's extremely frightening:

    Probably. The episodic structure totally works in the Telltale game though! I cared about these characters so much, even though they were just made from polygons 'n pixels.

    When I watched the episode, I started commenting on everything at some point even though I was watching it alone, I couldn't silently take the bullshit it was pulling! It's definitely a show to watch with friends and use as a drinking game. Every time something ridiculously stupid happens or you can predict a line of dialogue, have a shot glass full of beer, that'll get you shitfaced in no time. The annoying thing about the show is that the very first episode was actually good! Go back and re-watch it, I dare you! I know how shows get a higher budget for the pilot, or how the quality gradually gets worse (LOST-syndrome) but TWD is really pushing it! The cinematography is better, the writing is better, the acting is better (black dude with his kid, probably too expensive to keep around), the whole atmosphere is better, the whole way the zombies are presented is a lot more threatening - It probably was done by a whole different team. The first episode tricks you into thinking you're in for something good, and that feeling lasted for two and a half seasons for me! I re-watched s1e1 with my girlfriend because she's madly into the Telltale TWD-Game (which is fantastic by the way) and she was pleasantly surprised by it, but when s1e2 was on for maybe half an hour, she was like "You do realize this turned to bullshit already, right?" and I felt like an idiot for not noticing it the first time round. Real embarrassing! Damn you, TWD! What kinda name is Hershel anyway.

    I'm watching In Treatment which is one of the best shows I've seen, hands down. The acting and writing (especially in season 1) is on one level with my all-time-favorite series Six Feet Under. No idea why I've never heard of this before.

    lol yeah this guy ... well I can't really say anything solid about the quality of Hunger Games 2 (or, as it's called in Germany: Die Tribute von Panem 2 - wtf...) as I didn't see it in a sober state, but like the first one, the part before the actual Hunger Games begin is kinda neat with all the media parody and stuff going on, but then it turns into more of an action adventure flick for teens. As Expected / 10 Oh and I saw Escape from Tomorrow That movie that was shot at Disney Land without knowledge or permission of Disney. It took me four attempts to finally reach the ending, I always feel asleep, but not out of boredom, more like I was fleeing the horrible family. The film's kind of terrifying. It gets a bit too ridiculous though. All in all it's like a very long dream or something. I don't know what to make of it.

    HELL - German post-apocalyptic SciFi/Horror-flick... I was surprised such a thing exists. Here's a thing that annoys me so much about German movies: It's like all characters are stuck in an alternate linguistic time period that never happened. This is how 99% of German filmmakers seem to write their dialogue: Take an English language movie, then have on-stage theater-actors re-enact the German dub of it. Why? Noone speaks like that. Ever. Other than that, the movie was entirely predictable. Predictable in such a way that you can predict the next line of dialogue, the timing and camera position of the next shot and the next thing that happens altogether. Probably because it rips off 28 Days Later & 28 Weeks Later so much that it's painful. Hell is half-decently shot during hasty action sequences, but it's only relying on the same techniques there and as soon as there are calmer shots involved, the cinematography work gets very boring and soulless and there is zero storytelling through the images. The actors, like I said, if anywhere belong on a stage, not in front of a movie camera, or maybe on a daily soap. None of them take their roles seriously, their characters are all cliché anyway. So despite its unusual genre for a German film, Hell is as textbook as German filmmaking gets. In other words forgettable. This movie might do something for you when you watch it with subtitles and don't understand the spoken language, but being a German native speaker, I couldn't avoid noticing how poorly written and acted the dialogue was. Overall it was pretty shite.
