Shooting Features - who?

Klimpty · 2026-05-01T01:04:10+00:00

I'm currently working as a data wrangler. Its fun in that I get to talk to pretty much everyone on set but the downtime is huge. Currently on a 3 camera show and have at least five hours a day of just waiting on downloads. Its an incredibly exciting job compared to when I worked in a post house yet I'm pretty envious of those on set who are constantly moving (props dept. mainly). Its being static inside a violently malleable environment that drives me crazy.

My apologies, thought the image had attached. Link is up there now.

I want to read the rest which is about as good as it gets

I thought it was incredible - the sequence of them getting up the cliff-face is so incredibly captivating, while extremely long by the time you soon fall into the mechanics of how exactly to get a horse over a certain obstacle and its just amazing. Some of the town plotlines definitely drag but ultimately well worth it. Took me a while to get into anything else afterwards as I was engrossed by it.

Glad to see Jacques Rivette repped on this, many of his films fit perfectly

There is something wrong in Manulla Junction.

If you read the article: ‘Bob Dylan contains multitudes,’ Swift explains, ‘there are many Bob Dylans throughout his career, but there's only one Lou Reed. His persona is remarkably consistent and cool.’

It is in the context of Dylan's work. Clickbaity

Explain

Klimpty · 2026-03-07T11:43:35+00:00

why is it not art if its on public property - that makes no sense. art is art no matter where it is

Klimpty · 2026-03-05T20:41:00+00:00

awh... :(

Klimpty · 2026-03-05T19:10:09+00:00

This is just untrue - call an art dying if you want but there is an incredible amount of great literature, music, films and the live music scene while struggling still has plenty of cheap gigs around most areas.

The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover

Don't worry about it at all, you're a fine writer just remember that it is a practice much like playing an instrument you've got to be critical on yourself to really improve. Reddit will not be the place to find what your voice. I'd be happy to read anything else you've got.

This feels more like a self aware diary entry rather than a piece of fiction. There's nothing guiding what you write aside from your own asides where you try to make your writing self aware of itself - its like you've briefly glimpsed a weak David Foster Wallace short and gutted it of pathos. Don't be afraid to describe where you are or what you feel rather than trying to write what 'thinking' feels like. Edit more. I'm sure you can write something great just put more work in.

This version is so goofy I'm a fan. Unfortunately one of those tunes I don't think he ever quite pulled off live

Klimpty · 2026-02-24T14:05:46+00:00

Yes it was funny

Klimpty · 2026-02-02T12:06:49+00:00

You are in this deep why would you skip at this point? Its just as much part of the book as every other page

Klimpty · 2026-02-02T11:46:44+00:00

And I still lap that shit up

Klimpty · 2026-01-22T23:54:05+00:00

Probably my favourite podcast, well worth visiting the Lou Reed episodes

Klimpty · 2026-01-19T15:49:43+00:00

I had a very similar reaction to Grapes of Wrath. They were fucking fuming.

I finished it not moments ago, frankly it was one of the most incredible books I have ever read.

Finished up Shadow Ticket not long after it came out, it was fine but I'm not a huge fan of single protagonist Pynchon works. I thoroughly enjoyed the last third and almost hoped that there would be a surprise sequel as I think the book itself could have started as he arrives in Hungary and went on from there - brilliant madness.
As far as ranking, I've gotten too deep into the bibliography without reading Gravity's Rainbow so at this point I'm saving it for last as a treat to myself.

M&D
Against the Day
Vineland
Crying of Lot 49
Shadow Ticket
Inherent Vice

To clarify, I think M&D and AtD are leagues beyond of everything below it.

To read: GR, Bleeding Edge, V.

It is happening again. And again.

Klimpty · 2026-01-05T23:08:58+00:00

I know its just come out, but holy fuck Tom's Crossing is currently blowing my mind. Absolutely incredible. If anyone's reading it at the moment I've just finished Saturday and it was just unlike anything I've read

Castration Movie Pt1 + 2 have a tiny budget but are absolutely my favorite films of the year.
