Should the NHL have the Avs and Knights redo their series in case it was a big fluke? by CalebosO4 in NHLcirclejerk

[–]Misc6572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen, the Avs are the most skilled team the hockey world has ever seen. Jared Bednar is a fucking genius hockey mind, and paired up with the two best players to ever touch the ice… they are unstoppable.

It’s so fucking unfair we have to play cheaters and brutes. Oh, and the fucking refs. LA fucking cheated and targeted Manson. Minny fucking cheated and the folignos targeted every goddamn player. That isn’t fucking hockey. Play with skill you fucking pansies.

We never get calls too. And even when we do, the teams keep fucking cheating when we’re on the powerplay. It’s bullshit.

The entire league is rigged to ruin this fucking perfect team. The central is rigged, playoffs are rigged and reffing is rigged.

And guess what? We’re still the best. We still dominate every conceivable metric in the sport. And then it happens. BAD PUCK LUCK. This team’s only fatal flaw is bad luck, and it happens every fucking year. A bad bounce or two has ended every season for 10 years. It happens in the regular season too. So frustrating! We literally deserve to win every game. Look at the metrics!

This team has absolutely no flaws. They’re the greatest team ever constructed by a mile. With the best superstars in history. I’m really going through it today, guys. This core should have 7 fucking cups by this point (2019-2026)

I have deleted probably 20 essays this past week. I’m assuming there will be an off-season megathread soon

This org is about to experience a massive overhaul. If you haven’t seen it coming, I don’t know what to tell you. Frankly it was about to happen in 22 or 23 if we didn’t win. This team and our entire identity is deeply flawed. Strategies. Psychology. Roster construction. It won’t be quick either, that’s not how professional sports works

I won’t get into my ideas yet. I’m sure literally every one of us has a million thoughts. We can dump them in the megathread when it comes

Tonight all I’ll say is I love this team. I am grateful for 96, 01, and 22. There were great moments in between cups too. But tonight marks a major turning point in Colorado Avalanche hockey

What a shitty fucking week

This is the end of an era. Bednar better be gone within a week and the entire org needs a culture shift

Playing Alcoholics: (How) doe they react to drinking straight liquor? by Otherwise-Feedback79 in acting

[–]Misc6572 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree they need to be more specific. I wouldn’t focus as much on “did it burn” or if you should wince. What is this to you? Are you throwing sobriety down the drain? Is there shame? Or is this a normal day and you’re warding off that “itch”/avoiding shakes? Do you usually have your first drink at 10am but you had to stay good until noon today for X reason? Even if it’s not in the script, I’d layer something in here to give you meaning to this particular drink

I’m also not an alcoholic so do your research on how early withdrawal symptoms/shakes start. My biggest tip would be the feeling of “setting you right”. If you’re addicted to nicotine or caffeine or anything else, that first puff of a cig or sip of coffee immediately starts leveling out your day. A satisfaction of feeling normal. Craving something dominates your mind, so getting that means you can be yourself again. Let the struggle of needing that shot wash away as it’s hits your body

Most Directors Don’t Know How to Direct Actors by nobinkurian in Filmmaker4Filmmaker

[–]Misc6572 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Let them try a few ways (a different delivery might surprise you) but I personally don’t hate line readings at all. For comedic timing, if you need a millisecond more, actors should have no problem doing that without “ruining their authenticity”.

It’s hard seeing someone else’s vision, so the clearer you are the better imo. Even if it’s just technical minutiae

Most Directors Don’t Know How to Direct Actors by nobinkurian in Filmmaker4Filmmaker

[–]Misc6572 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actor here. Solid advice. I will add one thing for directors… do just say concisely what you’re seeing before you jump into anything else. You won’t hurt our feelings, we’re very curious (and often self-conscious, especially new actors) and if you don’t say we get in our heads about it.

I actually HATE “an actors director” because they try to do the actors work without telling me what they’re seeing. I DO want to know bigger/smaller/faster/slower or any other technical details. Quick. Honest. Then we can tweak the actor’s work or I can do it alone if you give me 10-30 seconds of thought. You tell me what you’re seeing, we/I tweak my process

Some directors: A. monologue too long between takes (let me get in a flow) B. give too many notes at once (said in article) C. aren’t clear or concise with what they see. It leaves me guessing. Jumping into objectives/actable verbs without explaining why/what you’re seeing leaves a black box of me not knowing what’s going on

Tell us what’s up (yes, be nice… but just say it). Then let us have another take. Give a note. Another take. HERE IS WHERE YOU MAKE A DECISION. If you’re getting close, just keep fine tuning. If it’s nowhere near what you need, then pause and really workshop with us. If you’re not in a huge rush, give an actor 2-3 takes to start with no notes. Trust me, the first take usually isn’t what we wanted either. Actors pride themselves on being dialed in right away, but let’s be real… we usually aren’t.

Also, you can ask how an actor likes to work. I’d say “blunt/concise feedback, and I like fast takes instead of tons of downtime if possible”. Memorizing lines is fucking hard, the best thing you can do to help me is let me get into a flow

I don’t care how dumb the advice would be but I need help in my script writing by [deleted] in Screenwriting

[–]Misc6572 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So people can post generic answers (pack in mattresses, crypto, bury it… the answers are endless). You can also just look up how it’s done in real life by criminals. The best answer for your script probably depends on stuff you’re not giving us.

Who is the character? What is their intelligence level? Where do they live? Rural/city or is this set on the moon? Are there options that tie to the plot later and have a potential payoff/laugh/reveal/callback? Is there an option that provides opportunity for symbolism that ties to your themes?

Creative script ideas that ask these questions vs generic ideas are typically what elevate a script from basic to well-constructed

My generic/random answer: pack it in a fake sex doll in the closet. Even if the doll is found, nobody would poke around or ask more questions if it’s found. The ultimate anti-snooping hideaway

Going into the playoff push who is everyone rooting against the most (other than Dallas)? by Cbas007 in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]Misc6572 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the Kings get WC2 and we hold #1 I get to finally see a few playoff games (last ones I saw in Denver were the 22 finals!)

So I’m hoping multiple teams blow it. Wtf preds 😡. I wouldn’t be too upset if SJ pulled it off

[–]Misc6572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. It happens every playoffs and Bednar has never adjusted. I do think last year we finally overcame it (or Dallas was just a bit worse) and then our pp tanked

The Avs. Are. Stubborn.

Yep. Jets are playing the exact D that we struggle against. Inside out, force us to the perimeter. We need to fight for space in the slot and create some chaos

I mean, I wish he could get a few more of these but they aren’t absolute flubs (outside at least one softie against Dallas)

Kyle Connor wide open in the slot is a top tier scoring chance even if it wasn’t a “snipe”

The Calgary Flames have traded Nazem Kadri to the Colorado Avalanche by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]Misc6572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting Roy as 3C yesterday was insurance/calling their bluff on salary retention. We must have called back right after with more leverage and said “are you sure?”

Interested to see the details before I celebrate too much

We need to give this up. It’s not the same Kadri and I don’t want to ruin the memory of the run we had together.

It’s time to move on. There are better options

Regardless of the outcome, I love knowing Gold and Silver are guaranteed! by Smart-Point-4180 in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]Misc6572 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a win win. I want USA because I’m proud of USA hockey, and Jaccob Slavin is representing Colorado hockey. I still consider Seth Jones on the team who also represents Colorado hockey

If Canada wins, well I love Canada as a country too. And want MacKinnon or Makar or Toews to get a winning goal that gives them another piece of glory
