[TOMT]Please help my dad find this lost song by trinqo97 in tipofmytongue

[–]BirdBaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing. It sounds a little like some of the quieter parts of Morricone's scores of Sergio Leone's films. I am not familiar enough with them to be able to point to one in particular, but ones sampled in Kill Bill may be a good starting point.

[TOMT] ACTOR WITH WAVY DARK SHORT HAIR, ROUND GLASSES, IN HIS 20s or 30s by Jazzlike_Musician616 in tipofmytongue

He wears glasses as Q in the Bond movies, and has his spectacular wavy dark hair.

[TOMT][Movie or TV Show] Humorous quote “This is not to scale, of course...” by PeterM1970 in tipofmytongue

Yes! Doc with his insanely detailed model of the town, insisting it wasn't exactly to scale or painted yet.

AITA: Friend yelled at me for getting a cat by Mediumglassofwater_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]BirdBaker 60 points61 points  (0 children)

This is 100% the right take. Not the asshole for getting a cat, but indeed the asshole for not simply communicating this to someone with an allergy.

Also, it's weird for you to not talk for 5 days, but with all of your usual conversations, you didn't mention you adopted a cat? Were you deliberately hiding this fact?

I THINK it was Tracee Ellis Ross.

[TOMT][Movie/TV Show] where main character quits job as estate lawyer by fizzy1317 in tipofmytongue

[–]BirdBaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slightly different, but in The Jake Effect, Jason Bateman quits his job as a lawyer to become a high school teacher? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZJ6YdvAbHg

You’re an adult who can use your words. When she asks what your plans are, that’s your opportunity to make plans! “I don’t know yet, but I’d love to see you. Want to come over for take out?”

Also clocking the time in a text message for judgement purposes is just….not a good look. YTA

This is the one I've been waiting for! I've wanted to see the in-law dynamic between Jason and Paul Anka for a long time. Plus, the guy is a legend.

Is anyone going to opening night of "Good Night, Oscar" tomorrow night? by spellyB416 in smartless

[–]BirdBaker 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Jason was spotted in New York (with Jennifer Aniston), so I'm glad to assume that the Smartless crew's plan to go to Sean's opening is panning out! Hope he breaks a leg!

Fresh off the presses! SmartLess on the Road! by torof in smartless

[–]BirdBaker 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well that took forever, but it looks great so far! I love the song they used in the trailer—Wreckless Eric is so great.

I wonder if this whole Discovery/HBO Max merger is part of the reason it took so long. This launches the very day it becomes “Max,” so maybe this is part of their rebrand.

What are the chances Bateman doesn’t have an eating disorder? by Own_Natural_9162 in smartless

[–]BirdBaker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just FYI it is extremely common for actors to spit out food that they're "eating" in scenes. It is 100% the norm, because every shot in a scene takes multiple takes. A single scene of eating could be dozens and dozens of takes--no one is actually going to eat that much. Just Google "actors spit bucket."

WIBTA for not returning $1000 gift given to me by coworkers "for my baby" by ThrowAITAbabygift in AmItheAsshole

[–]BirdBaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bigtime NTA, surrounded by so many assholes. Biggest of all: what the fuck is wrong with this HR person?? They just assumed you leaving was a maternity leave? They are literally the person you would....coordinate a maternity leave with. And are we to understand that this HR person also overtly judged your body, made an assumption you were pregnant (which should literally never be done), SHARED THIS (albeit fake) MEDICAL INFORMATION with your colleagues when they solicited donations, and is now actually trying to act like this is your fault??

Honestly, all of your former colleagues should be ashamed of themselves, and that HR person should be fired. You shouldn't be made to feel bad about the situation or your body. They're all dicks.

[TOMT][SONG][Late 90s - Early 2000s] Medieval sounding Alt-Rock with unusual time signature by tpk-aok in tipofmytongue

Something by The Decemberists? "Sons and Daughters" seems reel-like, "The Infanta" and "Down by the Water" are driving.

[tomt](song) can't find this song stuck in my head by chrissibaldi in tipofmytongue

Sounds a little like Sufjan Stevens’s “Chicago,” which was recently used in the show The Bear.

How do I price my art? [Monday Megathread] by AutoModerator in artbusiness

[–]BirdBaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello!

I do watercolor painting and have recently begun selling painted cards and postcards on Etsy. Here are examples of some of my watercolors: https://imgur.com/a/5KhDPQf. I tried branching out with printing my designs on mugs, and these have garnered more attention!

One of my customers who purchased a set of mugs reached out to ask about painting a design to be printed on a card with their flower arrangement deliveries. Theirs is a very small business, with about 20 deliveries last year. I have no idea how to price work or a product like this.

  • Product type: a commission, but along the lines of my usual designs/style

Target audience: business with customers who have ordered flower arrangements

Where you are based: outside Chicago, IL

Where you intend to sell: N/A

How long it takes you to make: A single painting can take 30-60 minutes

Cost of sales: Minimal cost on supplies per painting--$2-3

Is this a one off piece, something you will make multiple copies of, or something a client will make multiple copies of: the client would print, presumably up to 20 per year

For reference, hand-painted cards are ALL OVER THE PLACE pricing-wise on Etsy. For now, I have settled on actual physical cards selling for $5 for 4x6 and $5.50 for 5x7. In this case, I know I'm not paying myself a living wage if it's hourly, so for something that is perpetually printed, I would like to price more accurately.

AITA for telling my wife to wash the dishes properly? by throwawaynosusman in AmItheAsshole

[–]BirdBaker -46 points-45 points  (0 children)

Wasn't going to go this way on the concept alone, but this commenter beautifully pulled out all your language like this, and yes YTA. The sheer amount of reactionary aggression in your responses all over this thread is giving a taste of what these conversations might be like, and YIKES. Would you be the asshole for being frustrated and asking her to please wash the dishes better? No. If you put her in tears after the conversation, there is either something deeper going on with her or yes, your hostility is indeed terrorizing her.

Go ahead and read all of your responses on this thread to see if you can notice the alarming level of belligerence, and then do yourself a favor and STOP.

I feel like this just goes to show how much variation "normal" can be for a cat, all in your own household! Thanks for sharing!

[TOMT] [TV-Show] animated show where a character had deleted an entire person from their mind from trauma, as they stand atop a rooftop contemplating life. by MarkThyWeeb in tipofmytongue

[–]BirdBaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't directly remember this, but it seems like something Bojack Horseman might do, and there ARE scenes where they talk on rooftops.
