![]() The swirls get denser, then sketchier, and then finally flicker away, as we enter the third section, what I call “the I Want To Be Well section” (it makes if you’ve seen the video). ![]() Then the drums cut out, as Bosh sleds through abstract spirals and gives you a moment to contemplate the implications of that. The music visualization also sets up the concept of visualizing the flutes with these swirly spirals, which then creates a really powerful moment at the end of this second section, right after the words on screen that (almost) represent the lyrics: For example, the music visualizations of the drums as squares and circles that the track opens with drop out unceremoniously around the 45-second mark for no apparent reason, but they’ve laid the groundwork for the Xs visualizing the claps, which then creates a really powerful moment a minute later when music-synced layer-automation animating the Xs suddenly reveals after the lyric “do yourself” the words “A DEATH”, the first time the character in the video contemplates suicide (and shortly after the first time in the piece there’s dismount immediately followed by a remount, setting up that this is representative of some sort of suicidal attempt or ideation), marking the start of the second section of the piece, where this must now be reckoned with. There are lots of little ways that I Want To Be Well subtly, sneakily shifts in tone over the course of the video, that might sound like mistakes if described straightforwardly. It’s not always legible, but it’s easy to get the sense that the more important bits are more legible and it’s ok if you don’t catch every word, and it also feeds into a general tone of emotional stress and distortion. Ava has made lyrics-heavy Line Rider releases before, and the Friends in Low Places -style scrawl is re-used in certain key moments to great effect, but the majority of the lyrics in I Want To Be Well are drawn out in a new distinctive stylization, a kind of all-caps font where the words bend and twist around each other and the track itself. The majority of I Want To Be Well could be described as some form of lyric video. With that out of the way, this review is essentially going to be me gushing about all the things I love about this piece, so here we go! If you haven’t seen it, and you can stomach the themes, I highly recommend it. Which is to say, I Want To Be Well, in my view, is Line Rider at its absolute best. All at once, it’s a lyric video, a music visualizer, a story of personal struggle, and a choreographed traversal through an animated comic book about mental illness. This is not to say she’ll never go on to create bigger and better things in the future, but looking at her body of work as it stands today, I Want To Be Well is a culmination of thoughts and ideas and experiments and techniques and messages she’s been messing with and working on since she started with Line Rider back in February 2021. It’s hard to know where to start with this one, so I’ll start here: This feels to me like Ava Hofmann’s Line Rider magnum opus. □ = not recommended I Want To Be Well - Ava Hofmann I’m so glad to have as many recurring guest reviewers as I do, and I strongly hope this continues into the future.Ĭlick here for a playlist of all videos in this roundup (in order). ![]() Please take care of yourselves.Īlso, I’m thrilled to welcome back Ava Hofmann as guest reviewer for Just Far Enough, as well as Twig (from the channel Branches) for Anemoia 2. Don’t watch the videos or read the reviews unless you’re okay with reading descriptions of specific methods of suicide and well as seeing depictions of specific suicidal acts (though depictions are a bit more abstract in No Surprises ). I do want to issue an especially heavy suicide content warning for the first two reviews in this roundup ( I Want To Be Well and No Surprises ). Don’t worry, there are no 4,000-word reviews of 45-minute tracks this month, just a number of longish reviews of regular-length releases because there’s a lot to say! ![]() I called last month’s roundup a doozy, which is the exact same thing I want to say about this one now. ![]()

Evan tracking Bel and Genesis down to contront them after Knock Knock, and possibly even turn the tables on them, would be the perfect narrative vehicle for this exposition. The Knock Knock alternate ending offered the opportunity for a sequel that expanded on the story of Bel and Genesis, explaining the specifics of why they do what they do. The main reasons the two girls in Knock Knock target men like Evan is never fully revealed, which is one reason the ending felt dissatisfactory. However, Eli Roth wrote a Knock Knock alternate ending that gives the elements of abuse present throughout much more meaning than the theatrical ending, and sets up a possible sequel - though whether Knock Knock 2 will ever happen is a different matter. While the movie delivered on the expectations that come with a director like Eli Roth, the ending of Knock Knock proved incredibly controversial, mainly because it didn't offer closure, both emotionally and narratively. Knock Knock includes some of these infamous themes with a mixture of brutality and sex. Director Eli Roth is known as one of the pioneers of the sub-genre now known as "torture porn," often defined by its immense amounts of blood and carnage. The Knock Knock movie is a difficult watch throughout, both because of its themes and the graphic nature of the torture endured by Evan. After torturing Evan for nearly an entire day, the movie ends with Genesis and Bel burying him up to his neck, uploading a video of him having sex with Bel, and leaving him to be found by his wife. ![]() Bel and Genesis reveal to Evan that they're underage, and torment him with the threat of calling the police. After allowing them into his home, the girls coerce him into having sex, and it's here that the horror elements of Knock Knock start coming into play. A remake of the 1977 psychological thriller film Death Game, Eli Roth's Knock Knock stars Keanu Reeves as Evan Webber, a loving husband and father who falls victim to Genesis (Lorenza Izzo) and Bel (Ana de Armas). ![]() Eli Roth's 2015 horror-thriller had a divisively ambiguous finale, but the alternate ending for Knock Knocktied the movie together much more effectively and set up a sequel. ![]() ![]() ![]() Join in the fun, attend one of our teardrop camper rallies, share your camping adventure, or join one of the numerous social media groups dedicated to our products.

Then it started to rain just as we got off the bus for the first time and rained continually thereafter. None of us wanted to be there or buy anything. Annoyingly he changed the running order, visiting a jewellery shop first for a sales pitch when the weather was dry. There was too much time on the bus and not enough focus on the important buildings.When we did get off the bus to look at the Theatre foyer and walk down the Main Street he went off for a smoke and left us on our own. In fact it seemed that he wasn't even listening to us. Questions we asked were generally ignored. He lacked enthusiasm and seemed to be going through the motions, churning out his spiel come what may.

IOS 17's debut at WWDC 2023 gave us an in-depth look at a ton of features coming to the next major iPhone software release, and there's more to it than we first expected. iOS 16.4 introduced a code that makes iPhone updates download by default, with Apple evidently hoping that the change will ensure that most people are running the latest version of iOS. ![]() Incidentally, if your iPhone does qualify for Apple's next big update, it'll likely download iOS 17 automatically. With Apple's 2017 iPhones absent from the final list, this means the company will have dropped support for almost all devices running on its A11 Bionic chip.Īpple routinely drops support for older devices with every new edition of iOS and iPadOS – the iPhone 6s, iPhone 7 and iPad Air 2 were among the models left behind by iOS 16 and iPadOS 16, for instance – and both the iPhone X and iPhone 8 are now five years old, which is usually grounds for the chopping block. ![]() One MacRumors source “with a proven track record,” had stated (ahead of WWDC) that iOS 17 would drop support for the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X, and the sad fact is that cut-off appears to have held firm, now that the release is official. Initial concerns appear to have been realised, as the likes of the iPhone 8 and iPhone X (above) don't make the cut for iOS 17 support (Image credit: Future)Īpple announced the iOS 17 release after the Apple September event, placing it at Monday, September 18. ![]() ![]() ![]() They are more expensive to maintain than many other cars out there, but they are also safer than most, more stable on the highway, and more functional than you would think. They do require more attention and service, but if you stay on top of these things and keep a good service schedule, the reward is a fun, comfortable, good handling car that has decent performance and gets very good gas mileage (1.8L Kompressor motor). Mercedes are not like Honda's or other low-maintence cars. Earlier models like 01,02, 03, seem to have a few more issues than later models, but again they could be the exception to the rule, and overall it is a well built and fun to drive car. However, the consensus of most on this forum is that the 05 W203 model had most of problem areas corrected. It has been a very reliable car to own to this point. I have a 2005 Kompressor Sport Sedan and have had zero issues with it. I feel like a Mercedes should be able to do at least that well if it's properly taken care of. I've owned my Dodge since new, and the worst I've ever had to do was replace a radiator cap and a broken sensor wire. I really like Mercedes, but I can't afford a constant stream of major repair bills. Are these reliable cars, or a labor of love? I can get a same-year Chevy or Honda for the same price, but they're so boring I can hardly stand it. So, I'm asking the owners, because we did really like our first impression of the car. Even the previous generation C class had much better reviews on the same sites than this generation. I know that the older Benzes, like the pre-91 S class, 300E, and 190 were incredibly reliable cars. We went home and did some research, and I'm a bit surprised at how many people on KBB and Edmunds have had major (expensive) repairs on these cars with relatively low miles. Not a big deal, but neither my 2004 Dodge with 86k nor her 2002 Saturn with almost 100k has ever done that. ![]() We drove it, and it seems nice (it's a Mercedes, after all), but when we changed places so she could drive, the inside door pull came loose from the door in my hand. We hadn't initially been looking at this car - it was parked next to the one we intended to see, but that car turned out to not be very nice. It seems very nice, but I'm concerned about the reliability of these cars. Asking price is right at blue book value. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed 5G-Tronic automatic transmission.So, my wife and I are looking at a 2003 C230 Kompressor (sedan), verified one owner, 30k miles, and a southern car it's whole life. An oil change was performed in August 2023. The supercharged 1.8-liter M271 DOHC inline-four was factory rated at 189 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque. The digital odometer indicates 27k miles. The leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer inset with a multi-function display alongside a 7k-rpm tachometer and a fuel-level gauge. Equipment includes an AM/FM/cassette stereo, a glovebox-mounted CD changer, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, cruise control, and dual-zone automatic climate control. The cabin features sport seats and a rear bench upholstered in Charcoal MB-Tex, while aluminum trim accents the dash, door panels, and center console. The car features a sport-tuned suspension and Electronic Stability Program (ESP), and stopping is handled by four-wheel disc brakes with ventilated front rotors. The 17″ five-spoke aluminum alloy wheels are mounted with Nexen Radial N3000 tires. Scrapes can be seen beneath the front valance. Features include a glass sunroof, automatic headlights, fog lights, power-adjustable heated side mirrors, and a single exhaust outlet.

The car spent time in California from new until July 2023, when it was acquired by the selling dealer and relocated to New Jersey.
