I think it should be left alone. Not everything needs a shittier overly condensed film.
the backrooms movie was not crappy at all
Question for those of you who have read it:
I tend to exclusively read books electronically. Am I correct in assuming that because of the idiosyncrasies of this particular story, it's essential to read it in physical book form?
I would say yes. Holding it in your hands is definitely part of the experience with this book.
Both I and my brother have tried this. First and foremost, the intended experience is reading it in the disjointed and bizarre way the book is written and that's very hard to do in pdf. My pdf reader has a "reflow" function that pulls all the text into a reasonable book like format, it helps with the reading, but it doesn't do anything to help parse the actual content which is itself all ovee the place. If you're just looking for the story and not necessarily the puzzle of understanding the 5 meta-narrative pile, the implication of unreliable narators, and all the strange that it is, I'd suggest a nice long format YouTube video essay on it. That was personally my favorite because it sort of straightened all the lines.
I feel like it would be difficult to translate the footnotes and layers to the story.
This reminds me that I need to finish House of Leaves.
Incidentally, there's a cool video reproducing the 5 and a half minute hallway on YouTube if y'all wanna check it out.
That movie should have stayed on YouTube.
?
Learn about the movie.
I did, the movie is not mediocre
Explain to me the history of the movie and where it came from
kane parsons' web series
he has his own lore about the Complex, not the levels wiki stuff
and it was released on may 29th, after so much waiting
(kane actually teased the date in Static Dead End)
And where did he steal the idea from?
how do you steal an idea? thats called inspiration Black August made the 4chan post so people could enjoy it and branch off different canons
according to you, everyone using the scientific method is a thief as it is someone else's idea? especially if they found a new branch of science with it?

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
