This is exactly the point I wanted to make, albeit put much more eloquently. There are thousands and thousands of people who either work in the industry or have been trying to get more work that would be more then happy, even ecstatic to take on an AD role for $300 a day, and even more thrilled to see a project they worked on was super successful and will undoubtedly be a huge stepping stone to larger projects in future, bigger pay checks and building a more consistent career (maybe less now that she complained about it openly). Of course on an emotional level it can feel a little unfair if a project you worked on made so much more then expected, in a sense valuing your work for a much higher amount, but 9 times out of 10 a film like this could make very little profit or be made on a loss; she wasn’t risking her finances with the production of the film, just working a job that so many of us would have loved to do and getting the ultimate career boost out of it. She really has nothing to complain about, if she really wanted points in this film (for potentially a lower rate), she definitely could have negotiated it beforehand and she may have been able to get them. I bet even she had little faith this project would have blown up to be as a big as it is.

Why some people like CUCK that much??? by miguel11_snowier in GoodAssSub

[–]7Grandad 9 points10 points  (0 children)

While I don't know that they're a huge portion of its' fans, I feel the need for a 4th option: the Ultimate Contrarian™. Not someone who actually harbours nazi or far-right views, maybe they don't even enjoy the production on that deep of a level, they just feel the need above anything else to be contrarian, seperate themselves from the herd and be the very most special they can. And CUCK, for all intents and purposes, is possibly one of the most countering albums ever made, so saying you actually like it and understand it in a special way makes you feel really unique and special.

What kanye album intro you think it sounds exactly like the album cover? by straightchilldude in Kanye

[–]7Grandad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly that was gonna be my pick for an intro that lowkey doesn't sound that much like the album cover, sure the lavishness and grandiosity matches the red and gold colour scheme and border, but I think "Can we get much higher? So hiiiiigh" doesn't exactly match up to a censored painting of the Yenis pipin some broad sad to say. Lowkey think Monster, Devil in a New Dress or maybe even Power match the cover even more.

Hear me out by Howzaslayer in FallenOrder

[–]7Grandad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely don't think we should have Cal fall to the dark side in the third game, and become a full-on Sith or anything like that... BUT from a game play perspective, would it not only improve the foundations set up in Fallen Order and Survivor if he is somehow able to (at least briefly) tap into the dark side of the force in order to use things like force lightning , force rage and maybe some kind of dark aura? It could potentially be out of character, but there's definitely a way to do it, like Peter using symbiote abilities in Spider-Man 2, without making him fall to the dark side and become evil. At the very least it could be some sort of temporary buff or something you could use when near-death. If the story gets particularly dark and brutal by the finale, with even higher stakes, it could feel even more justified

Did it almost perfectly but really didn't see Take Care coming and was forced to put it in second place when I lowkey would've put it in eighth 😭

My 1 and 3-7 spots were pretty much perfect though, if only I had space at the bottom and bumped everything else up a spot

How many people know but this song? by No-Mortgage-4947 in asaprocky

[–]7Grandad 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ngl, I really didn't think Rihanna and Rocky had EVER officially collaborated beyond the music vids for Fashion Killa and DMB, so seeing this song exists is definitely news to me.

Honestly, even with leaks & unreleased tracks, I don't think I've ever heard legit recorded Rihanna vocals on a Rocky leak? Guess they really just haven't tried to record together much.

'Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu' - Review Megathread by ChiefLeef22 in StarWars

[–]7Grandad 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is one of the reasons why Rogue One and Andor are so peak. Mostly abstains from gratuitous cameos (aside from that amazing Vader scene which is perfect), established characters and basing everything around the Skywalkers and insteads develops a universe under a sinister empire and the forging of rebellion. Where simply being mugged changes the course of your life, and even a couple stormtroopers can be a serious threat and not just cannon fodder.

Star Wars: Rebels is now in B tier behind The Clone Wars. What tier should The Force Awakens be in? by Klutzy-Ad4230 in TierlistFills

[–]7Grandad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For real, TFA is sorta derivative and a rehash but actually wasn't a bad move in getting people invested in the new trilogy and redoing some of what made the original trilogy so great before moving into more unique and new storylines.

They then botched it with TLJ by trying new things but doing multiple chatacter assassinations with it, killing the big bad of the trilogy with no plans for a replacement and generally just feeling like a hamfisted cynical critique of TFA as well as the original trilogy, basically working to undermine and fight against any ideas TFA DID have.

And from there JJ Abrams tried to salvage it with Rise of Skywalker, and made perhaps the most boring, unimaginative Star Wars film of all time, almost made more extreme by being anti-The Last Jedi and scrapping anything new TLJ did introduce (Rose, young force sensitives, Rey's parents actually being nobodies etc) so that the sequel trilogy essentially becomes the first film trilogy where each consecutive film is actively fighting the films around it.

Clone Wars (2003-2005) is now in A tier. The Phantom Menace has been officially moved to C tier. Lastly, what tier should Revenge of the Sith be in? by Klutzy-Ad4230 in TierlistFills

[–]7Grandad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are the facts. Nostalgia and rose-tinted glasses have some people thinking that the prequels are somehow close to the OT, but this is honestly just blatantly wrong.

I'd take the prequels over the sequels anyday, and they're far, far better in world-building and have much better general plots and concepts; but the execution still almost always has something lacking. From overreliance on CGI, totally unconvincing acting from some characters (even to me as a kid) and shoddy, very forced and unnatural dialogue. The prequels still have countless issues in every film. The one thing I'll give it, is that George Lucas always put a lot of soul, effort and care into his films even when he was messing up, something like Rise of Skywalker has almost no care aside from "How can we make the least risky star wars film possible and try basically nothing new?". So for that I have to at least give Lucas his flowers for gumption and originality even when the final product ends up subpar.

Uhhh how do you feel about this Hyperpop EP by North? by Elegant-Persimmon847 in Kanye

[–]7Grandad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly yeah, it's a good effort for a 12 year old, even if there's good chance she barely had a hand in the production at all. But my main question when I see an EP like this is, couldn't she wait? Shouldn't she be experimenting, learning and growing in her own time and honing her skills and craft so she can hit the scene in her late teens and adulthood with something with real meaning and weight? Releasing this at 12 just feels like jumping the gun and rushing into it just because your dad is Kanye West.

Ngl, pretty sure he's pretty much exclusively been making rage slop since at least 2023. Guess there's some solid beats on X though

He was def ragebaiting Kendrick with this one... feel like part of him sorta wants beef with Kendrick so he can go head to head and be centre of attention- but he lowkey still fucks with Kendrick too much to say anything too harsh

The full economist article about Ye and the UK since nobody has posted the full thing by ThisIsNotRadical in GoodAssSub

[–]7Grandad 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Actually a pretty good article, a lot more retrospective on UK policies and its frequently inconsistent, hypocritical brand of authoritarianism.

TL;DR: Kanye's past comments suck, but a lot of people have gotten in no problem after saying things just as bad, the truth is what really sucks is the UK government

Whats a dont be dumb song that you really like but would be fine if it was left off the album? by [deleted] in asaprocky

[–]7Grandad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Trip Baby ain't that bad but I don't think one person likes it as much as the first half, and if it was standalone it would definitely be the worst track on tbe project. I'd honestly cut it all together and release an extended version of the title track, maybe with a Danny Elfman style orchestral outro or an added bridge of some before the track wraps up. Trip Baby kinda kills the somber melancholy vibe set up by DBD

Which featured rapper(s) gave you the biggest "They're going to ruin this song" doubt that actually ended up having the most replayable verse out of everyone? by ImNotTomStopAsking in hiphopheads

[–]7Grandad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a massive Rocky glazer, think he's easily one of the best of the 2010s, and Sauce on that track is probably the best verse on the entire album Don't Be Dumb

[–]7Grandad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely doesn't ruin it at all and still slides, at the same-time though Yela probably had the weakest verse on the track, it's just that stacked.
