mono gender casts like The Thing ftw. i was curious how many films feature all women though so i found this wikipedia article https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Films_featuring_an_all-female_cast The following 24 pages are in this category, out of 24 total. ...

i dont see the application of audiobooks without a real commute to listen to them through. sitting in traffic for an hour is miserable so i understand craving a story. but when else am i supposed to feel like specifically listening? am i meant to sit on the couch and just close my eyes or something? lay in bed? very strange concept. if i'm specifically reading then i'm taking the time to understand the author and that means rereading passages or just in general setting my pace. otherwise im meant to pretend theres just this guy in my living room talking to me who i cant stop and ask for clarification without screeching the brakes? i like to listen to music while reading, now ive got to gently caress around with an audio mixer like im producing an album just to balance it and whatever rear end in a top hat i have yapping in my ears. it really would be different if a trained orator recited a tale before me but that but canned doesnt sound that appealing. the more i ramble about this the more set in my way i feel that audiobooks are lame as hell. dont even get me started about the Nintendo Switch

i guess if i had a planned chore day they could work, cuz individually those tasks don't usually take more than thirty minutes... at a speaker's pace, what is that, the prologue?

AARD VARKMAN posted:I finally sank to the level of reading a web serial (Super Supportive) recently and was surprised by how dark mode made the phone reading experience actually not terrible. Still vastly prefer the e-reader experience but I can put some hours in on royal road without eye pain or anything apparently when will you read mine?
