This is a personal collection of things I find around the internet.
Alright, so somehow you found this place. Here's what to expect:
- Posts will be random; there are absolutely no themes here.
- Posts may be overwhelmingly frequent (sorry about your sub feed).
- Posts may be unbearably infrequent; you may forget you subscribed here.
- Posts may be oh, so very boring to you.
Due to the nature of this place, you may find a bunch of stuff that you don't care about, but you may also find a new passion.
So, the gist is, this is a place where I'll share random things, and you'll discover the internet with me.
Oh yeah, I didn't advertise this place anywhere, so hey, how did you even get here?
Check out the sister sub where you discover music with me! !andromusiccollection@lemm.ee

I like to dust off old movies and rewatch them. Old gems like Ghostbusters or the first Indiana Jones movies or Big trouble in Little China. Even the Goonies is still worth watching today.
What I noticed compared to today's movies, is three main things:
the sound mixing is hugely different. The voice channel is loud and clear compared to the background music and sounds effects.
The dictation is different. Maybe, today, to a native English speaker, old movies sound more staged, like listening to a theatrical recitation. But it makes dialogues a lot easier to understand.
Today, everyone is mumbling their lines, maybe to make it look more real, I don't care, just give me the subs, because of all the languages I can speak and understand, English is the one where you chew away most of the sounds and is still considered proper. You can pronounce "what are you doing?" like "what'dya'doin?" and is still clear, you cannot do such thing in Italian or Japanese.
