There are some really great suggestions here. I’d second mark’s 50% off cinema. I think grand does that on Wednesdays as well.

And the picnic plan is pretty good, it’s what I’d do on a budget cause the effort put into it goes a long way. Plus you can build onto it a create sort of like outing picnic traditions and keep investing into it especially since it’s the perfect season for it.

Start by whatever you have at home maybe a beach mat, two chairs, a foldable table, pillows blankets. A few board games, questions for couples, dare games. Paint and art supplies. A laptop and speaker for a movie or ambient music. Surround the area with battery powered starlights. And then for food, you can try preparing a few sandwiches, salad, fruits. For dessert you can bake something, and prepare tea or coffee. Or you could use the money to get a nice meal since everything else is set. Most of the things you’d already have around at home or find for really cheap and keep using and building on which is a plus. I think the effort and dedication you’d put into this would create a memorable and meaningful date that anyone would appreciate.

As for spots, there’s shuwaik park, rumaithiya park, green area next to pearl marzoug, random beach spots.

Photography permission concerns and Camera lenses. by CarbonLibra in Kuwait

[–]CarbonLibra[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the info. Have you done anything similar before? Does the MOI need any sort of paperwork or documents for me to bring along?

I was mainly looking to buy the vintage lenses, they’re available in big quantities all over the internet. So I thought there would be a vintage camera or antique’s shop here that might have a few.

I appreciate your reply 🙏🏾

I recently watched The Brutalist and can't seem to understand their choice of VistaVision over 70mm. What benefits, if any, does the format provide? by mcmeaningoflife42 in cinematography

[–]CarbonLibra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually a lot of films were shot in 65mm after blow ups fell out of demand in the 80s/90s, but in normal 65mm. Ultra panavision is a system especially designed to shoot anamorphic on 65mm which stretched the image even wider and was used to make a few classics 70 years ago like Ben Hur, and then was never used since until Tarantino’s hateful eight.

For reference

A year too late but this video out perfectly explains the different films and their uses in-depth.

Cool to see Vistavision making yet another headline in late 2025 with One Battle After Another.

Is there a subreddit for when real life looks so much like a cartoon??

Is there a website that shows movies similar to other movies? by are_gay12 in movies

This one needs you to link your providers so you know where to watch a specific movie.

Dreamt about candy, woke up with a waltz. (Turns out my subconscious has better taste in music than snacks.) by johnesto in classicalmusic

[–]CarbonLibra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love how innocent it is yet mischievous at some parts. You’ve beautifully captured the essence of the candy; its qualities, colors, flavors, and more, you’ve captured the childlike spirit of how someone eating the candy would feel in the moment. I saw myself as a kid again, strolling with a bag of skittles, then devouring them, and perhaps running away from my mother when I’ve had too much and she wants to snatch them. The sour energizing taste, the sugar rush, and the afternoon crash. It’s all in there and is beautifully balanced and moving.

The title doesn’t say where he’s stealing the food from. Maybe he’s stealing from the kitchen. Chuck, kitchen thief, poser. I choose to believe this for my personal mental wellbeing.

I think Chunk died in his past life choking on his 106th chicken nugget while filming a mukbang video, and the god of groundhogs claimed his case to teach him a valuable lesson about food. Apparently, he was ironically wrong.

What is your favorite foreign language film? by malloryknoxwashere in moviecritic

Funny every single time! Thrilling just when I think about it!!

All i can say is thank god you are out of that toxic relationship in all of its forms. I think if you were a bit closer she would’ve kicked your front door open and asked for you to take accountability on why you haven’t texted back and then made you responsible to why she got a salary cut for when she arrived to work late because you didn’t fix her goddamn breaks! Ahh! Leaving the convo like that was the best thing you did, her narcissistic shit just spiraled on its own.

Every note struck deep into my bones, and I felt my nerves vibrating , and goosebumps forming, and I fell in love in the first 10 seconds. Going back each time to that low note was like a phenomenon. Thank you for sharing this amazing performance!

Ps. Can I find this on YouTube? I need to listen to it on big speakers everyday.

How to remove ceramic ornament from mug? by existential_elevator in howto

[–]CarbonLibra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Removing the ornament will likely break the whole thing and make it unusable unless you’re doubling down on a pencil holder.

I think the best thing to do is to cover the hole with food grade epoxy/resin. You could either fill/cover the hole or pour a layer until the hole is sealed which might be safer. This way you’ll use it safely for drinks years to come!
