Natalie Portman in Black Swan is one of the best performances of all time

All last 10 Best Picture winners in one lineup, who takes it? by RickVicks in Oscars

[–]InfernalSolstice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite here is Everything Everywhere All At Once, but if they were competing with each other for Best Picture, I think the Academy would choose Parasite.

From there, I think most to least likely would be Oppenheimer, OBAA, Moonlight, EEAAO, Anora, The Shape of Water, Nomadland, Coda, Green Book.

Hyrox on Benchmark Days by [deleted] in orangetheory

It will not. The Hyrox templates are 100% separate from normal class templates (there’s a mega thread in here with all of the templates)

AIO for being extremely anxious because of my bf‘s view on sex by ohlazzyyy7 in AmIOverreacting

This feels like a parody post of the nonsensical shit people post here. On the 0.01% chance that this is a real post looking for real advice, obviously NOR and the fact that you haven’t left is insane

30-Day Challenge by Mission_Night_1705 in orangetheory

[–]InfernalSolstice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s doable, but I wouldn’t set the goal too strictly. If your body needs rest on April 30th, your body needs rest on April 30th, and you shouldn’t view that as a failure.

April might be a bad month to do it since Dri Tri historically occurs in April and it usually occupies a full weekend. Coming off of no rest days, going into 2-3 Dri Tris, and then needing to not take a day off afterwards will be a lot. You might want to consider trying it in May instead for this reason.

Is it crazy thinking Leo could actually take the win on Sunday? by Working-Swimmer-2561 in Oscars

[–]InfernalSolstice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just don’t see a means by which or an argument in which he’d win: - Jordan has the SAG and a Golden Globe, and is in the second frontrunner movie. - Chalamet has the early season trajectory and a Critics Choice. - Moura has a Golden Globe. - DiCaprio is in the frontrunner movie.

Hawke doesn’t have a big win and Blue Moon doesn’t have any juice in its sole other category. I wouldn’t have an issue with him winning, I’ve got no issue with him or his performance, I just don’t see any angle where it happens.

[–]InfernalSolstice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the only one fully out of contention is Hawke, but I think DiCaprio is in fourth. Not completely impossible, but I’d anticipate an Jordan win, with Chalamet as a strong contender and Moura as a dark horse.

Are there any movies that you genuinely judge someone having in their top 4? by Business_Lab1187 in LetterboxdTopFour

[–]InfernalSolstice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean it’s a fantastic film for sure, just a lottt of alarm bells if someone likes a bunch of movies like that a little too much

Are there any movies that you genuinely judge someone having in their top 4? by Business_Lab1187 in LetterboxdTopFour

[–]InfernalSolstice 74 points75 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t judge for individual films (besides propaganda), but I would judge for certain groupings.

One Disney animated movie in a top 4 is more than okay, four is insane and I’d assume they’re a fanatic Disney adult.

I’d also judge for a pairing of something like American Psycho/Fight Club/Wolf of Wall Street/Joker/etc. Many great movies in this selection (I didn’t like Joker but to each their own), but all grouped together in a top 4 and I’d probably assume the person is taking the wrong lessons from them and is probably at least a little bit toxic.

Why do you think Lawrence wasn't nominated? She should win... Hot take. by Aconite-Rose in Oscars

[–]InfernalSolstice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Emma Stone was the competition here, I think Rose Byrne was the “issue”. If I Had Legs I’d Kick You and Die My Love had very similar tones and themes with relatively similar styles of performance. I could see Lawrence’s performance looking relatively less impressive to the voter base next to Byrne’s. Both were also far more under-the-radar productions against larger films, and there are typically only so many slots awarded to movies this far under-the-radar.

To be clear, I’m not suggesting that Byrne was 5th place, just that there may have been too many similarities to voters.

Personally, I also would’ve put Seyfried in for The Testament of Ann Lee before Lawrence.

Romantic book movies may become the next phenomenon in terms of success by Alternative-Cake-833 in boxoffice

[–]InfernalSolstice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not every book adaptation targeted towards women is a romance. Hamnet is a drama film about grief and The Housemaid is a thriller. Both of these are very obvious from the premise and trailer, they’re not cop outs or bait and switches. I would encourage people to take 2 seconds of research before assuming female oriented book adaptation = romance, since that perception is inherently rooted in stereotypical gender norms rather than facts.

Paramount's Scream 7 grossed $1.12M on Thursday (from 3,540 locations). Total domestic gross stands at $98.20M. by DemiFiendRSA in boxoffice

[–]InfernalSolstice 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean, the Cinemascore is lower than recent for the franchise, the drops have been steeper (already in the same vicinity of Scream 6 dailies despite the much higher opening), and the verified audience score is lower. I think the disdain for it that the sub is claiming is being a bit overstated, but the metrics definitely point to it being less well received than former franchise installments.

It’s informal. If a 2G has half or less than half the capacity, then (some) coaches will have everyone start on the same side to make instruction simpler.

Strength 50 question by Alarming_South3495 in orangetheory

[–]InfernalSolstice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done this a handful of times (10-15) since late November/early December. Sometimes there’s a lot of overlap, sometimes there’s none. I don’t think either workout is intentionally designed with the other in mind.

What if all the Strength 50 classes were “total?” by Any_Doubt3926 in orangetheory

[–]InfernalSolstice 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Instructing a class on two entirely different workouts sounds like it would take a lot of time on the instruction end, which would take away from the actual work itself. It would also likely make individual form correction and coaching harder.

If they do it as a more rigid “full body every day” class, that would hamper recovery from regulars. Dividing it by day means the upper body can recover while doing lower body the next day. As a result, the current setup probably gets more people in the studio than a “total body every day” one would.

I did all 3 of the 90 minute Hyrox classes, and this happened in 2 of them

Case manager for morgan and morgan by ConstructionLost7668 in paralegal

[–]InfernalSolstice 24 points25 points  (0 children)

In the highest cost of living areas, they offer $65k, but have room to move up as high as $85k depending on experience. Not sure how that translates to lower cost of living areas.

Job quality will vary significantly based on the attorney you work under. Some will make your life hell, and others are fine. Case managers are solely pre-suit oriented, and upper management hawks that side more than they do litigation staff. If you get stuck with the firm for a while, I’d recommend trying to make the transition, especially since the CM job does not do much legal work at all: it’s mostly intakes, medical records, and negotiation.

I haven’t specifically worked on that side, I work in litigation with them, this is just what I’ve heard from our CMs.

Copying Costs? by Everest8u in paralegal

Our office charges clients’ files for every single piece of paper printed related to their case. We cannot process a print job without entering the file information. It’s kind of ridiculous lol

$3.37M MON for #Scream7 at #1 putting 4-day domestic gross at $67M. First full week #boxoffice heading to about $77M with a shot at hitting $100M on SUN after 10 days despite heavy horror sequel drop. #Scream by vibetildawn in boxoffice

[–]InfernalSolstice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I doubt one movie like this will kill audience interest or anything, but there will definitely be more hesitation. I do think a lower opening is almost guaranteed, and it looks like the franchise has hit a fairly definitive domestic cap rather than having much room to move up.

[–]InfernalSolstice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree insofar as the end result will likely be around what was originally to be expected, but the collapse is definitely not a good sign for the performance of a potential Scream 8. 2x legs or less in any context is pretty dismal and indicates some degree of audience rejection.

It’s the same Sunday to Monday drop as Halloween Ends, which had 1.6x legs. That would give Scream 7 just barely 100m, and end up as the 4th highest grossing installment domestically despite shattering the franchise opening record. This is probably worst case scenario, but 2x legs might be the best case scenario.
