Have y'all seen the controversial Gillette ad? What do you think? Are men not used to progressive messages aimed at themselves? Personally, I think although a little cliché, it isn't a bad advert.

"Any publicity is good publicity."
Gillette knows damn well what they did and the context that they did it in. It's all about raking in those dollary-doos from exposure, ad-revenue, and new customers who want to "stick it to Trump/alt-right" . (How many customers do you really "add" if Gillette is already the go-to for cheap to mid-tier manual razors? 🤔) Pepsi did this by trivializing BLM and earned a shit-ton of money from the ad. Gillette, BiC, Harry's, Philips and Dollar Shave Club all win here.

Nothing wrong with the message, but I'm not really a big fan of using subjects like this to cash in on. And the way I see it, they don't exactly give the subject matter the respect and attention it truly deserves here. Feels like they're actually taking a serious subject that should be addressed further, and make it a lot smaller and less relevant than what it is.
It doesn't exactly help that the commercial itself is pretty bad. Looks like a cheap, no-budget and embarrassingly mediocre school project made by teenagers who's only done something like this a couple of times before.

Hey, you. Yes, you!! Come join the trade-off 👻🍃
We're gonna be getting some very interesting mixes this month.

I could listen to REIGN - Ghost labyrinth all day and I don't even know who they are.
Won't ruin the illusion, they'll probably end up being a generic visuband.

I finished watching Assassination classroom and my heart is melting.
Why can't more anime series have solid endings like that? Seriously one of the best endings I've watched in years.
I think I'm healed from the bullshit Tokyo Ghoul pulled.

@Zeusexactly my thoughts! The author laid the rule from the start. It was the only thing everyone was sure of and Nagisa reminded us every episode.
I kept thinking. . . Is he gonna become human again? Will he leave the earth and explode in outer space? Maybe the earth will learn to leave in peace with him? I'm used to seeing endings were the creators pull some bullshit despite the laws of the world they created.
But when the inevitable came it was so well done and emotional. Because of their bond, it just had to be done. Doesn't matter how much we love him, it's because of that that it has to be done. Must have been hard for the author.
Yeah, creators keeping to their own laws isn't something we get often, they love pulling the 'wait! This character has one last ultimate secret power' card.

I need help finding a band.
I saw this band called more.
I want to know more about them, but theyre called more.
HOW UNHELPFUL CAN YOU BE?
They're really dark, when I saw them live during summer they had this sea theme, or boat crew thing to them?
They were really melodic and depressing, think 9GBO.
-
@Tokageis there a website for them, please?
-
when in doubt search the band name + OHP in google and it will most likely come up.
More's pretty good. I really like Loki's voice. but at the same time seeing them once or twice a year is my limit because at the same time wow boring

I never imagined I'd grieve the end of Femme Fatale, but here we are.
Guess I should finally give Kaya a try

I recently discovered there's a Kingdom Hearts Orchestra and they happen to be doing a world tour in 2019! I saw some live videos and it's an amazing experience, but badly promoted. Don't miss out!! They're touring Europe, Latin America, US, and more.

@monkeybanana4 yeah!! I hope I can get a ticket. How about you?

Yup, same here! Definitely going to try to get a ticket when the pre-sale opens up. Wouldn't want to miss hearing KH music being played live ^^
Although, they didn't say anything about seating. I wonder how it'll work this time 🤔 (Last time, they had a huge detailed outline of how seats were going to be divvied up in advance)

I remember the very first time I listed to Kimi wo nosete by Vidoll
Legit thought it was a joke song, I waited for ages for Jui to start screaming and the drums to go crazy
But it never happened. I was seriously shocked at how a band could go from batshit nonsense to beautiful melodious balads.
-
I see a lot of tech savvy people here. Can you give me any good digital camera recommendations? Mainly to record videos, but I'll use it for pictures too. GoPro's are too out of my budget. I can spend £50 or £70 at MOST.
I've had a look around but still indecisive, could use some tips.

Tbh, I don't really do any video work so I have a hard time recommending anything since though the are similar, obviously there are different things that you want from video than for photo. That said, either way £70 isn't going to get you much of anything. I'm not trying to be a downer, but man, even looking at like fairly old used gear you aren't going to get much for that. The -cheapest- I could find on ebay for a t2i (a 7 year old Canon camera) with a lens was $200.

I want to save money but I want to buy the new sukekiyo stuff.
Sukekiyo and saving money are complete opposite words.
I want to support more artists this year. Zonbie new album will be the first thing.
-
I was taking a break from listening to heavy music for a few days, then I accidently click on Sick.'s song 'rain'.
wow.
this shit is good.
-
I've been on a long break from Vkei.
On the other hand I've been listening to will.i.am a lot.
I'm sorry.

Joker is a fantastic movie, but I'd recommend anyone struggling with mental health to avoid it or approach with caution.
No, I'm not buying into the hype. I usually have a pretty high tolerance to stuff, but this got too personal towards the end and almost sent me spiraling. It shouldn't be rated as 15. It's an R rated movie if I've ever seen one, and not because of violence.
-
I agree. I think they've done a really good job of depicting mental illness, so much so that it hit much too close to home for me as well and I had to leave the cinema about halfway through the movie. I've been (consciously) struggling with depression for half my life and I'm currently in a phase (in therapy) where things are looking up, I feel more connected, more awake and present and therefor much more vulnerable and sensitive towards depictions of mental illness, addiction and so forth.
I wouldn't necessarily say it's a question of age though but rather how sensitive you are and whether you've struggled with similar issues in your past or not.
Hope you feel better 💪
-
I agree entirely but sadly I think some of the themes, questions and messages the movie is portraying will fall on deaf ears, quite ironic.

Just found a 26 track cindykate album (Nudy&Cool?) hidden away in a folder.
I'm so happy ~
If anyone would like me to share let me know.

@Lestatit sounds good to me. But then again, I have peasant ears.

Kiryu are so dead in the 彩 PV.
I'll never get over the initial disappointment. It's one of their most life-giving songs

New gulu² 😩👌🏼🔥
New rands 👀🙅🏻♀️

Not amused by Stardust Crusaders so far 😬
(the characters look like ugly lego dolls 🥺 but Avdol is awesome)

The moment they described the long ass trip they were gonna take to get to Egypt I knew I was in for a hell of a lot of filler. If they wanted the story to be snappy they'd have called the Speedwagon foundation for a private plane lol I'll stick with it for sure though.
btw, it must be widely accepted in the fandom/anime community that Hirohiko Araki isn't straight, right? lol
