So I’ve been to quite a few concerts over the years (mostly in the summers), and just left one today. Never worn earplugs, but my friend told me I should when I went with them today. My hearing isn’t bad, I do have tinnitus but it’s not super noticeable unless the room is completely quiet. Right now, my ears aren’t ringing or messed up but I’m really worried I’ve permanently screwed up my ears because of how many concerts I’ve been to without earplugs. I have another concert Saturday and of course I’ll be taking earplugs to that now. But what’s the chance the damage gets worse? :"-(

I went into In the Mouth of Madness knowing almost nothing about it. The blend of psychological horror, Lovecraftian themes, and John Carpenter's direction made for an unforgettable experience. I'm surprised it doesn't come up more often in horror discussions. Where does it rank among John Carpenter's films for you?

The music industry is heavily promoting high fidelity audio right now, but almost every single person is listening through wireless earbuds. Since Bluetooth technology completely compresses the signal anyway, you are basically paying for a premium audio feature that your modern hardware is physically incapable of delivering.

For me it’s in ‘All quiet on the western front’ when the German soldiers are gorging themselves only to see the French bunker walls shaking and the rats running away to indicate the tanks are coming and are about to blow them to pieces. Yes, I have written this because I’ve just watched All quiet on the western front, and couldn’t think of any others!
