Cognition It's hard to get to a level where you can read complicated music and play it straight away without knowing the piece really well. Try to memorize it bit by bit. If you manage to remember the movements of your hands, you're pretty much sorted and can just use...

how to install file tagging iso without CD

1 response

Cognition How you do it depends on what software you are using, but the principle is always the same. In whichever program you choose to use (I can recommend Alcohol 120%), choose to create a virtual CD-Rom/DVD-Rom drive, and apply the iso-file to this drive. You...

Cognition I think it becomes easier to get a job you'll be satisfied with once you've had some work experience, even if you don't enjoy the work experience. Thanks, and good luck to you too!

What is your interpretation of Lost Highway? Most theories seem to concur that parts of the film are reality, while other parts are either a dream or a part of the protagonist's imagination. Is he going insane in prison and...

Cognition No, unfortunately I haven't seen "Inland Empire" yet, but I'll hopefully be doing something about that soon. I'm a bit worried about what to expect. I really want to like it, but I've heard that it's really slow and that it doesn't look very good because it's...

Cognition That's a cool line-up, man! I'm just trying to imagine what Tony Iommi and John Petrucci would sound like together, and the possibilities are so endless, I don't have a clue ;) Hey, just for fun, what would you band of only dead members be? Mine would...

Cognition The mystery guy is "not real". I don't know exactly what he is. Either a symbol of jealousy or a figment of Fred's imagination that he can share his guilt with. Maybe both. I think we just have to accept that a big part of this film is really abstract....

Cognition Where do you get the notion from that there is an assassin? I've always thought Fred did the killing himself, and this is why he's going to jail. And then, perhaps because he's feeling guilty, he comes up with this entire fantasy in his head (when he...

Cognition What I meant by "any response" being better than "no response" on mylot was that, as far as I can understand you'll earn more from your discussion if you get a lot of replies. So all you have to do if you get a worthless reply is ignore it and "cash...

Cognition Actually, coming to think of it, I've been in a kind of similar (but much less extreme) situation myself once. I met this girl in a book store (haha) and we started meeting up several times a week. Then I started getting a bit confused and asked her: "so... do...

Cognition The film isn't linear, 'cause in the end of the film, after Fred has killed D1ck Laurent, he does buzz his own intercom and say "D1ck Laurent" is dead. But the fact that he is telling this to himself in the start of the film does... not really make sense...

Cognition I haven't seen Lost Highway in a while, either, so it's hard to remember. What my last theory states is that there might not be a defined 100% Reality and defined 100% Dream World. While there is definitely a clear "Dream World" going on for the most part...

Cognition Actually, "The Hound of the Baskervilles" has been adapted to film at least twice, once in 1983 and once in 2000. However, these were smaller productions, and even though I haven't seem them myself, I'll make an educated guess and say they probably aren't...

How do you interpret Mulholland Drive? Most theories agree that parts of the film are dream, while other parts are reality, but there are so many symbols and minor happenings that are hard to explain.

1 response

Cognition Thanks a lot! Those are some really good thoughts! I know one interpretation of the blue box is that it is a symbolic portal between the dream world and reality. It suddenly appears from nowhere, -dreams are irrational. And when it is opened, we are...
