[REVIEW] BREAK (2019)
Main Post:
Just finished watching Break (2019). I've been wanting to watch it since the 'movie poster' reminded me of that movie Frozen (not the animated one). It almost had the same idea. Five friends set up a "late night" pass on New Year's Eve to go up on a cable car to see a beautiful view of the snowy mountains. I'm not gonna lie, it did look pretty when they showed it (which is probably all CGI anyways).
So it was 2 sets of couples and of course there's one odd guy who's third wheeling. But the one guy moped around and didn't go because he could not find his brown bag. He asked his girlfriend to get off the cable car but she decided to stay. So, this one guy just moped around throughout the movie. We then see him walking to a nearby ski resort which is just as pretty. I was thinking to myself they could all just spent New Year's Eve there instead.
So of course, they encounter some technical problems while on the cable car. One blunder after the other. Of course, that one guy was still moping around and was about to leave town when he found out that none of his friends actually made it back to the hotel room. So, we finally see this guy show up and do some work in the movie and actually saved whoever was left alive in that cable car which of course was his girlfriend.
It was an okay movie. Nothing like I haven't seen before. Like I said it reminded me a lot like that movie Frozen (again not the animated one). There were some wtf moments and made me not want to look, but overall it was a little predictable and done already.
3.5/5 stars for me.
Top Comment: Interesting. Recently watched Frozen and when I saw the poster for Break I instantly thought it was a knock off version of Frozen. I’m about to watch it now and see which one I like better lol
What is a break?
Main Post:
How does it differ from a phrase change? Could anyone provide songs with time stamps where breaks are?
Top Comment: The terms break and phrase change are often used interchangeably in WCS but there are differences. The easiest way to describe it is a break is the emphatic end of a major phrase often with some sort of pause or extra bars thrown in before the beginning of the next phrase. Uptown Funk is a very good example that shows the differences. The major "break" is at 1:06, 1:32, 2:21, 3:28, 4:27 Every 2 8 counts, or 16 beats, is generally considered a minor phrase. In Uptown Funk, at 25s is a good example of the end of a minor phrase. 4 8 counts or 32 beats is considered a major phrase. This occurs roughly every 16.5s in this song(16s, 33s, 50s, 1:06, etc). 2:47 is a great example where they removed the break from the major phrase change. The music continues right through it without really acknowledging that moment and saving it for 3:28. They do this again at 3:54 and saving the break for the end. Hope this helps and Do Re Me from Sound of Music is nearly identical to what was listed above.
Thoughts on “Break!!”?
Main Post:
So recently got the player handbook for break!! And honestly loving it. It has literal shadow of the colossus mechanics for fighting anything colossal! It also has a nice crafting system, lots of downtime mechanics, and classes are pretty cool.
As a long time warlock fan, the battle and murder princess classes (easy to reflavor as paladins and what not) are kinda sick allowing you to make a customized pact weapon that can be a gunblade or even a chain axe! Then you have a class called Factotum which has all kinds of out of combat stuff and support stuff for in combat! Also if you like RP flavor then check heretic who summons essentially folktale spirits to harm their enemies on success or inflicts harm upon them on a failure.
What does everyone else think about this system? Just curious for those who have checked it out.
Top Comment: I loved it on paper, and I'm glad I backed it...but it was...not well received, by me or my table. Likely it is an us thing, as I spoke to some folks on the discord and apparently we were playing it too serious, but there were some issues with several mechanics and abilities in play that didn't suit us. Beautiful book though.
To people who have taken a break in their relationships, has it actually benefited the relationship?
Main Post:
If you’ve ever taken a break in your relationship, what was the aftermath of the break? I’m at a low point in my relationship and I don’t know if I should suggest a break to give each other some time to chill and think or if it’s a situation where if I’m thinking of taking a break I should just bite the bullet and break up. Advice appreciated.
EDIT: thank you for all the responses, it has been massively helpful! I have so much to think about but I’m going to sleep now (it’s 6am rip) I will be back when I wake up. Again, thank you to everyone who took time to respond!
EDIT 2: Never expected so many people to stop by and weigh in! I can't thank you enough for all the responses. You've all raised some really good points and I have a lot of thinking to do.
Top Comment: Imo no. The only time they asked for a break was because they wanted to sleep with other people but still wanted to come back to me after

Top Comment: I 100% do not believe in breaks lol. It just makes no sense. I am also the sort of person where, if we break up I am done lol. Like idk it's just something in how my brain works where I just cannot trust the person again with a romantic relationship and they're firmly in the stranger category or maybe one day in like a decade we can be friends. Not for me -- I will struggle along making all sorts of relationships work if I love the person (honestly not always the best trait in the past, so I've worked on defining boundaries better), but if we break up that's it lol. I am not putting my heart and effort back on the line again
Do breaks in relationships work?
Main Post:
We’re doing a break until the end of the year. I’m so scared that he’s never coming back and that he’s going to forget about me in this time. But the hope and 0.01 per cent chance he does is the only thing keeping me going now.
Top Comment: I doubt it, I feel like people that want the break actually want to be single again and see how it works for them.. and if it works they will not come back and if it doesn’t work they will go back to you until they want to try it again
Is "taking a break" a sign that the relationship is going to end?
Main Post:
Hello all you cool folks. First time posting in this sub and I'll get right into it. For about a week now, my GF of 7 years (male here) has been very distant and sometimes not even coming home at all. We got some of the stuff out in the air on Tuesday and I thought we were a little tense but okay. The next day, she's gone all day, as well as Thursday and today. Last night (Thursday night), she came home about 4. I didn't wake up until 5 and I saw her in bed, awake, when I woke up. We started talking and got a lot out in the open.
Basically, I asked if she wanted me "out of her way" and she said "not when you put it like that". I asked how else I should put it and she said that I make it sound like I'm burden. I asked if I was burden and she didn't answer. We talked more and I asked why she's been away and if it's something I'm doing. She says no and that she just really enjoyed being on her own for once. I definitely understand this but I asked why she didn't just tell me she needed some time alone or space, but she didn't answer that either.
I ask one more question: Does she want me to leave (I currently stay with her) and she says no. I then say "You don't want to be around me but you don't want me to leave? What do you want me to do?" She says she's not sure but she doesn't want me to leave and just needs some time. I ask if we're taking a break and she says she doesn't know. We say a bit more and I ask again why she's been away for the past week. She says "Because I love you so much that this hurts." I ask what she means (I'm sorry, I feel like I should know what she meant but I didn't) and she doesn't answer that either. We talk for a bit more but basically go in circles and I then go to work after saying "I'll be here when you done and go ahead and be you."
Did I screw it up or is there potentially a recovery here? And feel free to let me have it in the comments. I deserve whatever is coming my way.
Edit: We spoke tonight, went for a walk, and took a drive and got a lot of what was bothering her out in the open. A small bit of it was her misreading what I was doing and saying. More of it was small things here and there that I used to do but don't do anymore and other things that were pushing her away. I also didn't realize she only had 15 minutes of sleep in the last 48 hours and she said she may have been rash or quick to make it because of the lack of sleep. I did see a lot of people saying there was another person but there wasn't. She was at her sister's house for the entire week she wasn't home.
Edit 2: I've read through a lot of the comments and while some of them have been very condescending or hurtful (some people saying I'm a b**** with a collar on), there have been some very constructive comments as well. To everyone who is saying I should leave, you might be right but there's no need for offenses. If staying ends up being the wrong decision, then let me fall on my on sword.
P.S. Thank you to everyone who commented and took the time to read this. There were some genuine diamonds in the comments and I responded to them directly.
Top Comment: We had a break, but we had a rule not to go see other people. He asked me if I wanted to and I said no. We set a date where we would meet to do a little recap of what we think and our conclusions. Now we are together since! ( 8 years)
Taking a break ever really worked for any of you?

Top Comment: Yeah if you need any kind of long-term break or space then you might as well just give up on the relationship what's the point of being together?
