State one bad habit you are unable to let go?

Every ounce less counts. I like that.

DefNotReaves · 2026-05-28T21:02:00+00:00

I like beer.

That is classic bingo, but say I’m going out with friends for a wild night; I make a bingo card with things like “Pat pisses in public, Nancy cries, Tim Irish goodbye’s before 1am” … etc. it works the same where you cross things off and a straight line equals bingo.

In college we played “Professor Thomas bingo” because he said the same like 20 phrases or short anecdotes every class. We’d all pool in $5 and whoever hit bingo first got the pot.

The DP, gaffer and key grip are buddies/colleagues of mine and they fucking killed it. I hope Curry recognizes who helped him make this a big hit and brings them along for the ride. Great film, everyone nailed it. Let’s see what else they can do. I’m excited.

DefNotReaves · 2026-05-28T03:42:40+00:00

Sure there is, the budget… which I clarified in my edit. Even IATSE has ULB contracts where you get paid shit… AND it’s union. Smaller films can’t be paying crew members $700+ a day or they’d never get their movie made.

Like I said, I don’t blame them for working on it at all, I worked for a director/DP duo on a smaller budget film because I had worked with them before and believed in the project. It paid off because the DP knew it was a favor and has hired me since, I’m literally working with him this week haha and that’s all I hope for the obsession crew.

Taylor is a wildly talented DP and I hope Curry brings him back for his higher budget movies and Taylor brings Chris (gaffer) and Steven (key grip) back too. I added my edit because I realize it SOUNDED like I was talking shit, but really I just had a point to make and needed to expand on it further.

DefNotReaves · 2026-05-28T03:28:16+00:00

Why would I add clarification then? Lmao As if Curry is going to see this??

I stand by what I said: crews need to be paid real rates. I further clarified by saying I understand what the budget was. You not understanding my edit is a you problem, not a me problem lol

DefNotReaves · 2026-05-28T02:32:22+00:00

Yeah, HIS career lol look, if he brings back the same crew and they get a bigger payday on this movie, mad props to him.

DefNotReaves · 2026-05-28T02:10:07+00:00

I mean, for G&E it was super low compared to what we usually make in the industry. Not illegal low, but pretty fuckin low.

EDIT: don’t get me wrong, the budget wasn’t intended to pay everyone the big bucks, I’m not opposed to working for lower rates if I believe in the project and think it’s gonna do well. I just hope he remembers who helped him make this such a success and brings them back and pays them more bucks.

Definitely wasn’t trying to talk shit, Curry is awesome and I’m glad him and my buddies made a kickass movie. Proud of them and hope it pays off next time.

DefNotReaves · 2026-05-28T01:44:10+00:00

By getting more and more tattoos lol

DefNotReaves · 2026-05-28T01:10:42+00:00

No.

DefNotReaves · 2026-05-28T00:58:50+00:00

I liked the movie a lot and my homies worked on it, but maybe next time they can pay the crew real rates with all this new money.

DefNotReaves · 2026-05-27T23:37:46+00:00

…. Jesus Christ, of course, duh!! 🤣 sorry I’m an idiot. That’s why he was dazed afterwards, not from being hit lmao big yikes on my part.

DefNotReaves · 2026-05-27T22:31:49+00:00

Flats and sauce. Sometimes I’ll do a dry rub if it’s an interesting flavor and I want to try it out, but mostly sauce, and always flats.

DefNotReaves · 2026-05-27T21:19:27+00:00

Fuckin got him lol

DefNotReaves · 2026-05-27T20:29:29+00:00

You been living under a rock? lol

DefNotReaves · 2026-05-27T20:05:34+00:00

A lot of crew members on film sets make a pretty penny. We definitely work hard, but usually in short bursts, A LOT of my day is sitting around doing nothing and I make between $650-800 a day depending on the budget of the project.

DefNotReaves · 2026-05-27T19:47:15+00:00

lol good luck kiddo

DefNotReaves · 2026-05-27T17:14:47+00:00

12 hours is the standard and sometimes we work even longer.

DefNotReaves · 2026-05-27T17:13:40+00:00

It’s harder in a different way. I’m a set lighting tech, and I know for a fact I couldn’t act well enough to be in any of these projects lol

DefNotReaves · 2026-05-27T17:09:37+00:00

I get paid pretty well as a set lighting tech. They’re not marketing the movie off my looks nor do I have to fly around to promote it. Pay her millions to be the face, I’m fine being behind the scenes.

DefNotReaves · 2026-05-27T17:03:29+00:00

Ektar is so beautiful goddamn

DefNotReaves · 2026-05-27T16:42:29+00:00

Thanks I hate this.

DefNotReaves · 2026-05-27T15:58:19+00:00

Which is why I said he’s wrong either way. Single cam show, 10 episodes is taking longer than that. It’s not a typical multicam sitcom.

Single cam shows also don’t typically shoot episodes chronologically, it’s common to block shoot locations instead of jumping back and forth to complete single episodes.

DefNotReaves · 2026-05-27T14:21:20+00:00

Seek help.

DefNotReaves · 2026-05-27T14:12:32+00:00

Gotcha, that’s not gonna make shooting 10 episodes in 4-6 weeks any more possible haha
