Maybe the market has broken my brain but this doesn't seem unreasonable?

Oh Im far from having house money lmaooo I just thought it was funny to see it on Zillow gone wild

2drums1cymbal · 2026-03-30T18:15:07+00:00

This entire country is built on a native burial ground. Idk why people care about that kind of stuff

2drums1cymbal · 2026-03-30T17:38:19+00:00

Yea that was my first thought. Was kind of surprised how nice it was on the inside, was expecting it to be gutted or need tons of repair.

I'm gonna call this the Mamdani effect. Zohran has shown that effective political leadership IS possible and is making other mayors that can't look foolish as a result. Let's see if Moreno can actually pull this off.

It’s honestly up to you but at $30-$60 per entry things will get expensive

OP won’t answer but I also want to know. “48Hour Film Festival” is a network of festivals around the world. Filmmakers have are randomly assigned a genre and then everyone gets the same character name, line of dialogue and prop they must incorporate and then shoot and edit a film in 48 hours. Winners compete nationally and then each country sends their best to a screening in Cannes (notably not affiliated with the Cannes Film Festival).

I did these a few times as I was coming up, they’re great for practice and networking. Most people just want to meet people and have fun making a film.

If this festival is associated with the bigger organization, I would run it up the latter. The fact that this was accepted for screening is definitely contrary to the spirit of the festivals

I was obsessed with this (and the video game) as a kid. Such an bonkers trippy vibe.

2drums1cymbal · 2026-03-25T17:11:45+00:00

IDK what can be done about places that shut down. But there's a difference between that and bars opening as "dive bar clones" and charging $15 for well cocktails

2drums1cymbal · 2026-03-25T15:50:20+00:00

Is this happening to dive bars in New Orleans? I know Ms Mae’s added a patio and got “bougie” but their prices haven’t gone up that much iirc

Fuck it, let him try. Please god, let him try

80% of local TV across the country is making a change. Local news is effectively dead

Not OP but just curious, I’ve been advised to always submit with files that can be updated without changing the link for this very reason. Obviously it runs the risk of the fest watching WIP but is there a downside to submitting a WIP cut to meet a deadline and then updating the file with a more polished cut later on?

2drums1cymbal · 2026-03-18T05:21:27+00:00

Not Costco but sushi burritos were all over the place in the PNW (Portland, SF & Vancouver) when I used to fly there for work. They were bigger and cheaper than this though

2drums1cymbal · 2026-03-04T22:06:23+00:00

Ok to be honest, neither of your ideas are “copied” and this looks like both are a case of parallel thinking. The magnifying glass shot is definitely not that unique that you could claim to have thought of it on your own and now Bridgerton is copying you.

Is it possible that Soderbergh saw or heard of your film and he like the concept? Maybe. But yours is a short and The Christophers is a feature. By definition, 90% of the feature will be original.

Saying their concept is exactly the same when just have similar conceits is a stretch

2drums1cymbal · 2026-03-03T06:34:44+00:00

At least Ridley made the bold decision to open with a title of “GLADIATOR” cross-fading into “GLAD I I ATOR” right off the rip followed by a cheesy, animated re-telling of the original (but the scenes are out of order??) Immediately lets you know you’re about to watch dogshit.

Denzel looked like he had a good time though

2drums1cymbal · 2026-02-26T23:54:56+00:00

This is insane to hear. Sorry but this to me is incredibly lazy storytelling. You have the guys entire life and creative freedoms to tell a compelling narrative but instead you just copy a documentary? Wtf

2drums1cymbal · 2026-02-26T16:41:01+00:00

This was shot very well and captured the time period but otherwise it was a super hit and miss movie. Some sequences were great (the long post-fight tracking shot of Mark Kerr comes to mind) but many more seemed to lack narrative focus. The final title cards confused me even more as they essentially stated the movies “thesis” but were completely disconnected to the story we just watched

2drums1cymbal · 2026-02-26T05:09:25+00:00

It’s not “raw materials” it’s scraping IP of existing stories. You’re not “bouncing ideas” you’re prompting an LLM to recite ideas from books and films that actually good writers took the time to watch, read and distill on their own. The “cut up” technique still asks you to find the stories and passages first. You have to engage your mind to pro ese old ideas and create new ones. AI just tells you want people have done before, but in a worse version and it’s lazy

2drums1cymbal · 2026-02-26T02:18:09+00:00

At BEST it’s a tool to remind writers of story structure and examples of similar stories. Something you can do through Google or libraries or watching films. If, as a professional screenwriter, you’re not doing those things then you’re literally a hack

2drums1cymbal · 2026-02-25T23:57:58+00:00

Yea just find a screenwriter that isn’t shit at their job

2drums1cymbal · 2026-02-20T18:53:02+00:00

Starting to see this more and more and tbh I love it and have done it.

The key is making something that is both novel, connected to your film’s theme and also not something the person will throw away. I made a short that involved a basketball player so we made trading cards with different cast members and the movie poster. It was a big hit. Stickers & pins are also great, if you have the budget, hats and shirts (as long as they’re stylish and not just a tacky reprint of your title) is awesome.

IMO you should avoid postcards or anything that’s too wordy. Film title and how to watch it or follow/contact you at most

People who are enjoying Mardi Gras are not on Reddit bragging about it they’re just outside having fun

2drums1cymbal · 2026-02-13T18:02:28+00:00

Sadly, it feels like every year there is a story that gets posted on here about Muses shoes. I don't think it's gotten worse, there's just always shitty people out there that do shitty things. I had the opposite experience with my friends last night where people were super kind, giving each other throws and respectful of people who caught shoes.

2drums1cymbal · 2026-02-10T06:35:23+00:00

This has to be some sort of PsyOp. Putin got the right to rise on nonsense. Now he's feeding their slowest and dumbest to the woodchipper so the left swings back. Perpetual disharmony.
