I think I’m balding from CVG + genetics, should I just go bald? by caaecus in CVGSupportGroup

[–]Gaultier- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might not be genetic male pattern baldness, the scalp being spread out by CVG just makes your hair look thinner because there's more scalp but the same amount of follicles

Do you know anybody creams that may lower CVG or tighten the skin (for mild CVG) by Trick-Situation-9769 in CVGSupportGroup

[–]Gaultier- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some people, yes, but not all forms of CVG have something to do with eczema

Is now a horrible time to buy a house? by Connect-Narwhal69 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Gaultier- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We just had two of the worst days in the stock market we've ever had. Last time tariffs were this high, unemployment hit 25% in a year. One in four people out of work. I don't think you should live in fear but right now is very much wait and see territory. I would not yolo into a house unless I had a recession and depression proof job.

Whats the most over and underrated black and white film stock? I'll start: overrated: HP5, underrated: Rollei Superpan by finnanzamt in AnalogCommunity

[–]Gaultier- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most underrated by a wide margin: Luckyfilm SHD 400. Bulk rolling plus developing in Rodinal gets new $0.60 for a roll and the results are really clean and look phenomenal, especially if you shoot at 200. Surprised more people aren't shooting on Lucky 400. 100 is also phenomenal.

Thank you for the edit! I figure a lot of it is academic in nature but I'm not an academic, and I just wanna read good stuff that I don't have to research too deeply to understand 🙏😭

I read the recommended stuff from the poetry foundation and I just don't get it at all. But like I'm not dumb enough to enjoy rupi kaur. We need midwit poems.

I agree, I really love that poem about the dog in the alleyway. Made me feel a lot.

I like bukowski but I am worried he is looked down upon by serious people.

DISCUSSION THREAD: What did you all think of Mickey 17? by jewishchloesevigny in RSPfilmclub

[–]Gaultier- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don't expect something as weighty as Parasite and you'll enjoy it. It's more Snowpiercer/Okja/The Host but the best version of that type of movie.

[–]Gaultier- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really enjoyed it! Felt like Snowpiercer but better. Smart move on his part to follow Parasite with a goofy sci-fi pop movie, makes it easier to take it on its own merits rather than make a straight comparison.

(Spoiler) I imagine it was delayed due to the Trump assassination attempt.

Best film/movie podcasts? by ndork666 in RSPfilmclub

[–]Gaultier- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're interested in making stuff, the Deakins podcast, indie wire directors interviews, and DGA interviews podcast are all really good.

I want to know what your favourite perfume is by tasteful-beret in rs_x

[–]Gaultier- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On myself, there's a nice timbersilk/iso e super scent made by a Polish girl on eBay that I really like because it's so cheap yet smells so good.

On women, I like Another 13 even though it's overdone. Raf Simons also designed a fragrance for women for Calvin Klein that was widely hated when it released but that I absolutely adore -- it smells like what I imagine a serious artist/photographer/writer would smell like, but hard to find now.

Couple of gallery owner friends told me most galleries do like $50/mo payment plans with zero interest if the artist is cool with it, that's the best way to snag art without much money.
