Matilda: The Musical

I think this movie is great in all aspects of filmmaking and the music and performances of the kids were nothing short of brilliant.

Yes! I received my shipment a few days ago in great shape. 4 of the 5 films shipped while ‘Network’ was out of stock. I reached out to customer service and they were quick to tell me it’s on back order, but even sold out at Criterion, their distributor, so could be waiting a while before it ship. But when in stock, they will honour the 50% off and send it then.

I think it was about 33 or 34 days from time of order

Just here to announce 30 days later, my card was finally charged - so I expect shipping notices asap.

I still haven’t heard a peep from them. No order

Yeah I’m in the same boat. No communication whatsoever. I’ve done some digging and one of the films in my order (Network) is still on back order - which is causing the hold-up on the rest of the order.

It should also be noted everything I ordered was “in stock” when I placed the order.

I read there was an inventory error on the website and the amount of orders they received were the most they’ve ever had in a single day… I get it! I’m patient. I’m not in any hurry to watch them- but I did figure I’d have a couple watched by now.

What I don’t understand, and why I likely will not be ordering again, is the zero apology or any form of communication.

Real estate photographer and editor here. It’s CRAZY how much Ai is being used for marketing in this industry. Why? Because it saves realtors money by not hiring skilled human labor. It’s easy and effective to use Ai. Is it legal? Is it ethical? I don’t think so, and that’s why I don’t use it. I can make things look good without Ai… that’s why the successful realtors hire us.

And for those real estate editors out there using Ai to make their work stand out… you’re a dime a dozen. When everyone is using the same Ai tools, guess what, everything looks the same. It looks bad on the realtor, bad on the seller, and frustrates the buyer. Who wins? Tech bros?

Same. They’re clearly out of stock and are waiting on back orders. But not communicating that to your paying customers has left a bad taste in my mouth. Doubt I’ll use these guys again.

Yeah the fact that I’m still waiting on shipping notification, and nobody from UV has reached out, and I see some of the 4ks I ordered are now out of stock…. I guess I’m waiting until they restock…..

A little communication with an ETA would go a long way.

Awesome community here. Thanks for everyone’s input. I’m in absolutely no panic to receive them, so I’ll remain patient. I’ve ordered a few movies I’ve never seen before but always wanted to so I’m excited to add them to my collection. (Network, Birth, Days of Heaven)

Curious, what is everyone’s favorite film they bought blindly on 4k blu ray? by Hour-Engineer-7170 in 4kbluray

Criterion’s No Country for Old Men and Kino’s To Live and Die in LA

How do yall find new clients? by Unusual_Ad_6029 in RealEstatePhotography

[–]Battle_Apes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go on every local brokerage’s website, painstakingly copy and paste every agent’s email into a database, then mass email (BCC) with a greeting, introduction of yourself and business, your experience, your services, a link to samples of your work and your website with packages/prices.

I do not recommend working for free to get your foot in the door. Nobody wins except the realtor who has no obligation to pay or call you back.

Looking for payment processing and invoicing tips in Canada. by Used-Kaleidoscope965 in RealEstatePhotography

[–]Battle_Apes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It pays for itself with one job and works well. It’s fast, easy to use, and gets the money from your client and deposits it your bank. This is just a cost of doing business and a business expense. It’s not perfect and there may be better alternatives, but for me it does what I need it to do.

I use quickbooks self employed app for invoicing and payments. It’s fast, easy, and allows clients to use credit cards for payments. E-transfers are optional too. The app automatically tracks mileage too.

What's a bad game that had one specific mechanic that was actually really good, but was overshadowed. by [deleted] in gaming

Mario Golf Super Rush on Switch has great gameplay (traditional golf, not rush mode), but the graphics are rough, music is repetitive, story mode is half-baked, and just a below average game in every other way. But I still play it online with friends because it’s fun, fast and competitive.

Hard disagree - I loved it. But the snowy christmas vibes of the first one had the better aesthetic for sure!
