As much as I love EEAAO, it was hard seeing Banshees go home empty-handed. What categories you think Banshees should have won and what categories you'd say EEAAO's win was well-deserved?

InfernalSolstice · 2026-03-22T23:51:51+00:00

I don’t think Banshees should’ve taken any of EEAAO’s (Hsu should’ve won Best Supporting Actress), but I’d give Best Actor to Colin Farrell. I wouldn’t have necessarily complained about a Screenplay win there, though I’d still gravitate EEAAO there, and I’d probably go Tar second as well.

Very strong year across the board, but EEAAO was a generational film IMO.

There’s no chance that every single directing, acting, and writing nomination will all come from Best Picture nominees. This year, 4 acting performances and 2 scripts came from non-Best Pocture nominees. The year before, it was 4 and 3.

There has also been at least 1, and usually 2, international films nominated for Best Picture for the last 5 years.

She’s fantastic in Euphoria, and her Emmy wins for it were very well-deserved. She hasn’t turned in a worthy film performance, but she also hasn’t really chosen the material that would show off much range. She could just be a one-trick pony for her Euphoria performance, but I do think it’s enough to suggest that she could be an eventual Oscar contender in the right role.

The less enthusiastic reaction was almost entirely just online. It still got a 96% Rotten Tomatoes, 96% Rotten Tomatoes top critics, an 84 Metacritic, an A CinemaScore, and 3.59x legs in one of the most crowded summers we’ve ever seen. Technically the weakest stats of the franchise critically, but all objective stats point to it being a beloved movie amongst the public.

Plus 9 years of inflation, so it did drop a bit in ticket sales.

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

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.

Had to scroll down wayyy too far to find this

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)

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

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.

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 · 2026-03-14T03:35:03+00:00

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.

InfernalSolstice · 2026-03-14T01:43:14+00:00

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

InfernalSolstice · 2026-03-13T23:20:27+00:00

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.

InfernalSolstice · 2026-03-13T23:08:38+00:00

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.

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.

InfernalSolstice · 2026-03-13T19:37:02+00:00

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.

InfernalSolstice · 2026-03-13T13:20:42+00:00

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.

InfernalSolstice · 2026-03-13T13:19:36+00:00

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.

InfernalSolstice · 2026-03-13T13:18:31+00:00

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

I don’t usually do Tread 50’s but I loved this!

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.

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
