IT’S NOT ‘PEEKED’ MY INTEREST
OR ‘PEAKED’
BUT PIQUED
‘PIQUED MY INTEREST’
THIS HAS BEEN A CAPSLOCK PSA
Thank you!!!! Finally someone said it!!
On another side, I always felt that the main singer of Samurai/Refused was so far from Keanu's voice, I always had a hard time being immersed when the songs came out. The music is amazing, but damn if they don't match
idk if it’s just me but the lead screamer in most of the samurai songs sounds WAY more like kerry than it does johnny… there’s a couple of songs like “never fade away” and “a like supreme” where you can hear a second singer underneath the main one that sounds much more believably johnny, and i’d be willing to believe that johnny is the main singer in ‘black dog’ too, bc that sounds a lot like him, but the screaming lyrics that are in most of the choruses?
i think despite all the promo material that shows johnny at the front of the stage… that man does not scream the lyrics, that’s all kerry. that’s why kerry’s voice sounds like that in current day and johnny’s voice is still like low and smooth when he dies. he doesn’t scream the lyrics, he growls ‘em. when the song is just singing, that’s johnny, but kerry has that perfect rasp that just… 🙌
also: hc that if v ever brings this up to johnny he gets VERY defensive. he never managed to nail down the screaming thing like kerry did and they argued about it every day.
Men, I can’t say it enough but I love her artwork soooo much T__T

Rewatched a vid of the rollercoaster, no laughter, only him smiling and shouting :)
My good thirsty friends of Johnny Silverhand, I need your help with something!
I have played the game, finished it, went through many endings, but as I was daydreaming about Johnny as usual, I came across a question that I could not answer and hope some of you could:
Do we ever hear Johnny laugh during the game? Not a sarcastic laugh, but a real chuckle, or genuine laugh of happiness??
I cannot remember for the life of me… But I have a mighty need!!
I told Miyazaki I love the “gratuitous motion” in his films; instead of every movement being dictated by the story, sometimes people will just sit for a moment, or they will sigh, or look in a running stream, or do something extra, not to advance the story but only to give the sense of time and place and who they are.
“We have a word for that in Japanese,” he said. “It’s called ma. Emptiness. It’s there intentionally.”
Is that like the “pillow words” that separate phrases in Japanese poetry?
“I don’t think it’s like the pillow word.” He clapped his hands three or four times. “The time in between my clapping is ma. If you just have non-stop action with no breathing space at all, it’s just busyness, But if you take a moment, then the tension building in the film can grow into a wider dimension. If you just have constant tension at 80 degrees all the time you just get numb.”
Which helps explain why Miyazaki’s films are more absorbing and involving than the frantic cheerful action in a lot of American animation. I asked him to explain that a little more.
“The people who make the movies are scared of silence, so they want to paper and plaster it over,” he said. “They’re worried that the audience will get bored. They might go up and get some popcorn.
But just because it’s 80 percent intense all the time doesn’t mean the kids are going to bless you with their concentration. What really matters is the underlying emotions–that you never let go of those.
