Pillow [chat]

http://dangerousminds.net/comments/yasujiro_ozu_and_the_enigmatic_art_of_the_pillow_shot
A “pillow shot” is a cutaway, for no obvious narrative reason, to a visual element, often a landscape or an empty room, that is held for a significant time (five or six seconds). It can be at the start of a scene or during a scene. At a minimum, in Ozu’s work, these pillow shots inject a sense of calm and serenity and contribute to the elegant and stately pacing of his movies. But they may mean quite a bit more.

    TIL The English do not understand the word "pudding"

    As I understand it in the US it seems to refer specifically to some kind of blancmange type substance.

    in the US, "pudding" is "a superset of nonfrozen, generally dairy-based semi-solid desserts, with or without egg, including custards and mousses

    in england, "pudding" means "random specific foods" - some sausages, some bread products, some desserts but not others.

    Usually it means either a dessert, or a steamed/boiled suet pudding or some variation thereof (steak and kidney pudding, christmas pudding, black pudding, white pudding, etc).

    Yorkshire pudding is a bit of an exception because traditionally it was a dessert.

    Now it hurts and i don't know why. Why do my wound hurt?

    Why did i try to change my gauze squares? it was clearly a mistake.

    i'm not eating (well, drinking a meal replacement) today. Possibly not tomorrow either. This hurts too much.

    Did you moisten the gauze before replacing?

    Could just be irritating the gaping hole

    Good. It's the most fun I've had gaming in YEARS. "Fun" needs to be strongly encouraged.

    They never told me to moisten to gauze, just to bite down on it.

    Why do people relish making me suffer that way?

    Is it because my ignorance-fueled pain makes them feel superior?

    Floundering console and that game has next to no marketing

    no purprise there.

    Nintendo needed to just run the 3ds train for a couple years and release a real next gen console to run with the big boys. Instead of releasing the halfbaked Wii U

    You really think W101 will do well over here?

    Well, you don't have to moisten it... it just makes it less hurty if not moistening it is hurty

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    take a painkiller and recognize you have giant holes in your face.

    That shit is going to hurt for a while. You didn't go to the gum tickler, bro.

    They ripped a bunch of shit out of your head, including some nerves, and left a bleeding gap.

    With the Oculus taking off, it's time for the Virtual Boy to make a comeback. Nintendo must have a few dozen crates of those lying around somewhere.

    All I remember after having my wisdom teeth out was barely being able to move my jaw and eating seedless applesauce for a few days.

    It was kinda annoying.

    You don't want to just leave the gauze in. It'll get gross.

    Your wounds hurt because a muhfucka took power tools into your jaw. Tomorrow they will feel better as long as you keep your mouth hydrated and happy.

    Oh for goodness' sake take half a morphine, you're not going to become a crack addict.
