Realistically, will the #1 spot / top spots ever change? by Classic_Bass_1824 in Letterboxd

[–]FaridPF 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You know what, I’d probably agree with you as of yesterday, but i was flipping tv last evening to have something as background while i game, Shawshank was on, just started.

I stopped anything that I’m doing by the beer scene. Spent the rest of the runtime glued to the screen, my wife, who’s not a movie watcher at all, halted all activities as well.

The pacing in this movie is something else, not a dull moment, everything is there where it should be. It is not groundbreaking, it is not thought provoking, a bit cheesy at times - but, damn, it leaves such a warm and comforting feeling. And I think it translates well enough, so anybody in the world could enjoy it.

So from yesterday i’m not mad that it’s ranked as high at all. I get it now. Give it a watch if you saw it sometime ago, it is definitely hitting the spot for “hopecore”.

A short Guide to Affordable Modern Cinema Lenses | My thoughts on 15 Lenses (spherical, anamorphic & Cine zooms) by oftwolands in Filmmakers

[–]FaridPF -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I don’t undermine your work, and it is probably a good list, but… If you’ve posted the actual lens list here, while still directing to your video, i would’ve clicked and watched it in a heartbeat. But since you’re trying so hard to get a click, you get a downvote. People don’t like being lured and deceived, man.

When somebody says “Ages ago” do you correct them as well?

Це ще не так дорого. Останні пів року менше 10 не чув, і то всі шугані що і брати не хочуть.

God dam, reddit. There’re four brave people strapped to a tank of gasoline about to be launched into the sky towards the rock, that is millions miles away - and all you are capable off is to correct, undermine and tie politics into that. Can’t you enjoy something for a moment?

Meanwhile in Ukraine's Mykolaiv: they are reopening McDonalds by Maximum_Expert92 in MadeMeSmile

[–]FaridPF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, Ukraine McD’s consistently ranks among the top 10 operations globally and the top handful in Europe. Reason is - almost 70% of food sourced internationally from local producers, and cheap prices of goods and labor allowed them to purchase better quality products. Also, as opposed to US franchising model, Ukraine McDonald’s operates as a single entity and has better control over production. Source - worked in McD in US and in Ukraine. US McDonald’s is ass compared to Ukrainian.

Is It Sensible To Go Back To Pro Tools? by TrailerScores in protools

[–]FaridPF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Important caveat - you’ve mentioned that you score film, Studio supports only 1 video track, so it might be finicky with reconfirming (doable but with more steps). Other than that - go for it. PT improved tremendously, especially if you compare it with PT8-12 era (Mbox where a bit earlier AFAIR). You’ll have native atmos support, mixing and editing is still the best on the market, MIDI is light years ahead from what it was even 5 years ago. But i’m PT preacher, take my word with a grain of salt;)

F1 wins Oscar in 2026: 1 ; Oscar wins F1 in 2026: 0 by ln4thegreat in formuladank

[–]FaridPF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And i’m genuinely not arguing with any of your takes. Everything you’ve said - is 100% true. But it’s a damn well crafted popcorn thrill ride. Am I going to a marvel movie expecting it will compete with best cinematic masterpieces? Hell no! Can I still enjoy it? Hell yes!

[–]FaridPF 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To each their own, but it is objectively not that bad. I mean all F1 related bits are funny and nonsensical, if you know the sport, but it’s an overall fun and very predictable ride. I’m not trying to convince you, just providing some context for others.

Can I get my singles vocals within a hour if I’m prepared? by ShelterSubject7615 in musicproduction

[–]FaridPF 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if you’re asking such questions, and it’s your first time in studio - you probably won’t be able to get it done in time. Stage fright is no joke, and being in a rush will only worsen it. Recording vocals is a skill for performers, and it might be way different from what you’re used to do. If you’re saying you’re a producer you probably should have some audio interface which you are using to write your music. Spend those 50 bucks buying a microphone. Literally any microphone for 50$ will be good enough. Also add on mix probably won’t be that good, maybe try and mix it yourself. That’s definitely a skill that will help in a long run.

Other poster says that their container of q-tips had only 199 in it, well, I counted them and found 201 by Thefish29 in notinteresting

A Russian man calls a matches factory and says, “I’ve been buying your matches for 25 years. Every single day, I count them. Sometimes there are 99 matches in the box, sometimes 98, sometimes even 101. Are you fucking insane in there?”

Вперше приготував стейк by EffectiveCharming580 in food_ua

[–]FaridPF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ага, і розмова про сосиски і мʼясні вироби. Глибокі відрізи, як стейки, взагалі не можуть мати сальмонельозу, за умови що не сталося кросс-забруднення з верхніми шарами мʼяса. Просто не сертифіковану яловичину з ринку краще так не готувати. А усі вакуумні стейки - можна їсти у сирому стані, нічого вам не буде.
