Is It Really A Hyperfixation If You Don't Do Insane Projects About It. This Took A Total Of 3 Days And

Y'all I'm actually going insane over how effective the "was he slow" scene from Baby Driver is.

Hear me out.

The song that Baby makes isn't bad, I actually think it's enjoyable when he first makes it. Certain parts are a little odd, like using a recording of your boss but it's obvious when it comes to the composition that he kinda knows what he's doing.

The first scene where you interact with the song is the one in which he's actually creating it. He's having fun, creating his own beat and melody to go with it, and you begin to have a little fun too with the scene. It also feels like a very personal scene. The movie is showing you a side to Baby that most people haven't seen.

Which makes the "was he slow" scene that much worse.

When interacting with it the second time, Baby is incredibly upset and uncomfortable. He believes that his foster father has been killed in the process of getting the tapes, he has missed his opportunity to meet up with Deborah, and no one in the room trusts him. You can feel the tension in the room, and when it is disturbed by the song, the level of discomfort heightens. The team is laughing at him while his boss, who has been sampled for the song, who has kept him as a "lucky charm" since childhood, who can easily kill him or have him killed, simply looks on in disappointment.

What's insane about this scene to me is that the shame of this scene CONTINUES. For me, listening to the piece is still uncomfortable, no matter how long it's been since I've seen it.

Recently, years after the last time that I saw the movie, I was listening to the soundtrack while doing homework. The song came on. Instant pause. I thought I could push through it, after all it had been literal years.

I had to skip the song to be able to get any work done because it was STILL associating it with the second scene.

Well played, Mr. Wright.

Well played.

Yk, it doesn't seem like anyone is leaving reviews about disliking the assistants. If the smaller browsers are targeted with one star reviews asking to remove the assistants, the idea would probably catch on enough to be able to even get Google's removed.

Hey guys!!!! It's fall!!!! You know what that means!!!!??

*violently hyperfixates on Over the Garden Wall*

I thought today - the TV show I'd really like to see is one about a medieval monastery.

You could have all kinds of characters: the pious guy who joined because he wanted to serve God, the son born out of wedlock sent there to cover up his parents' shame, the geek who wanted to study Latin but couldn't afford to go into university, the former knight sick of violence and afraid for his soul... Plus monasteries were centres of pilgrimage and places where criminals could take refuge, so we can have a lot of characters who crop up for a few episodes and leave.

Some plotlines I thought of:

Our relics aren't bringing in the pilgrims the way they used to - what do we do?

A women fleeing an abusive marriage has taken shelter in the monastery - how will the brothers respond to having a women in their midst?

One of the monks wants to leave - will the abbot accept or not?

A murderer has taken refuge in the abbey, and the abbot decides to try and save his soul - what will happen?

People are coming to the monastery for food during the famine, but the monastery is itself short of food - how will this be dealt with?

War has broken out between two local lords, and the monks attempt to broker a treaty - will it work?

I've already mentioned some reasons why I think this setting would lend itself to television, but I'd also love to make it for two other reasons:

Get people to understand how weird medieval religion could get, but also that, within its own frame of reference, it was a reasonable and consistent belief system.

Show people that the Middle Ages consisted of more than just muddy people stabbing each other and burning scientists at the stake.
