can’t remember what I was watching, but I accidentally muted it just when a dramatic scene started, and I was so riveted by the scene having no sound at all.
i had to focus only on the scene, and it was so suspenseful, tense, and immersive, thought the director was a genius for taking such risks and it paid off… eventually I noticed it was on mute.
When something like that happens, I automatically assume it’s on mute or frozen, so I can’t get those kinds of masterpiece moments. I wish I could trust art as much as you.
I don’t know if it’s still a thing in the digital age, but having even just a few seconds of dead air back in the analogue broadcast days could mean that “silence detectors” all over the country would start going off and radio engineers everywhere would think there was some kind of problem with their station. So there had to be talking, music, something at pretty much all times.
If you wanted intentional silence you could play comfort noise in the background.
Marihuana is not bad for you, but it makes you ok with being bored
If you’re bored while stoned, you’re not stoned yet. 🫠
There’s a planet of the apes film where they are talking to each other in their common language and we watched without subtitles for so long. We thought we were supposed to just get the vibe.
Best show on television
You… have a TV? 😱 Faaaancy.
You obviously haven’t watched Friends.
My first and only audiobook (I forgot the title) had one track per chapter. I started at chapter one and kept wondering from time to time why things were happening with no explanation. Then, several chapters later, I’d finally figure it out what was going on because the characters started setting up events I’d already heard about so I checked my music player and it was on shuffle… It actually worked weirdly well, haha.
I somehow missed one of the middle episodes of the first season of House of Cards, and was very surprised at the boldness of having to piece together what had happened between episodes. Very demanding of the viewer.
I did realise my mistake immediately after though.
