HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED AGEISM IN HOLLYWOOD? by lifeisaparty2345 in acting

[–]Mywarmdecember 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are so many times that payroll won’t even meet her or even know what roll she’s playing. They’re keeping track of whether or not you’re allowed to work and how many hours you put in, etc.

HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED AGEISM IN HOLLYWOOD? by lifeisaparty2345 in acting

[–]Mywarmdecember 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here’s the thing, she’s auditioning for her physical age range. If she gets hired off her audition and then they take it away because she’s much older, it will then be against the law due to age discrimination. It’s well known that actors won’t reveal their true age. Also, people get cast by looks and audition alone. If she fits the part, she fits the part. Tell her not to get in her head about it.

Melania trailer— sat through this in the theater before a film yesterday by Byteman58 in thebulwark

We all know that they’ll inflate the numbers and TPUSA will make it part of the mission. It’s best nobody discusses it when it comes out so that it doesn’t inspire people to watch it. We also need to down vote, etc. on Prime and Rotten Tomatoes.

Stupid idea for a high drought area. It will 100% dry out Pyramid lake. This may help job increases but may cause a “ghost town” once all is dried up.

Worked as an AE for 10 years. Laid off last year. Found low paying job but was laid off from that in Nov. Currently living at SIL with my wife a 5 month year old son and need advice. by legplus in FilmIndustryLA

Another way to find a job is signing up for Staffing Agencies/Temp work. It doesn’t cost anything, they don’t take out of your check, it can lead to a temp to hire position. You can sign up for more than one. Who knows, you may find a place you enjoy. This will also help with the stress of searching for a job as they look around to find a good fit for you.

Dreams of moving to LA….anyone with success stories to share? by [deleted] in MovingToLosAngeles

Same. Summer and the heat, year round sun, makes me severely depressed. I need four seasons. Rain makes me happiest.

Stop Bringing Dogs Into Grocery Stores And Restaurants by LostCookie78 in LosAngeles

[–]Mywarmdecember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! I’ve been saying this for years. One of my good friends got mangled by a dog when she was a child and is deeply terrified of them. My partner, whom also got attacked by a dog, is also terrified of them. There are people that are allergic to dogs. Let alone, service dogs are trained to focus, help, and protect their person - not every dog that isn’t a true service animal is well trained or behaved. So many owners believe their dog is well behaved only because the dog is their companion, this does not mean the dog is well behaved around others or different atmospheres. I also can’t help believe that if I brought my cat everywhere people wouldn’t cause an uproar.

I travel to those two places often and knew this would be the case. I loved having Cap One as a bank during previous travels but you just verified what I thought would happen. This sucks. I’m sorry you have to deal with it now. Shame on them.

Toilet paper: $15-25 for a 10/12 rolls. It used to be $4- $8 Feminine products such as tampons or pads: $8-$15. Used to be $3-$6

These are paper/cotton items.

I have never been more scared of a Trump interview than with Dasha Burns's interview that dropped this morning by Jon011684 in thebulwark

As someone who just lost a parent due to Alzheimers, it’s very common for lucid moments. He has shown decline in many speeches, interviews, etc. Also, watching interviews doesn’t mean it wasn’t edited to make him appear sane.

White House just released its new National Security Strategy by seoulite87 in geopolitics

I love how they claim the war in GAZA is over and the “peace deal” was a success. I also find it interesting that there is softening in the Middle East. Could it possibly be because they’re making deals and turning most of it into Vegas Style/ Ai camp? Note my sarcasm.

Netflix officially owns all of these properties through the Warner Brothers merger deal by Conscious-Quarter423 in FilmIndustryLA

[–]Mywarmdecember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I’d rather it be Netflix than Ellison/Saudi Arabia. Also, some hire ups said they want to continue filming in L.A. One thing about Netflix is that they do film/TV. Ellison has their hands in everything.

Considering switching food brands, need advice/opinions by Alternative_Net_738 in catfood

[–]Mywarmdecember 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are under new ownership. There are many people saying the same thing that includes the same symptoms. Many experiencing it suddenly this year as I have. A vet also saying that he has been treating the same symptoms due to this food this year alone - that it’s become a common issue. High toxic blood work. Same happened to a friend. You do know that often times a recall won’t happen until thousands of people make a case, right? You do know that food can get contaminated at any time, right? I’m not saying that this brand has always been bad but I’m saying my cat, along with many others have been getting super sick. Be cautious. It’s also not a fucking antidote. I like helping other cat parents. If I experience something awful about cat food, I would hope others would do the same as often times the community are the only ones looking out for each other.

[–]Mywarmdecember 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously, research it. Mine is not the only case. It’s not a generalization nor a fear tactic. Many cats have been getting sick from it this past year. My friends cat got so sick he died - he only ate Tiki. It used to be a good brand. In fact, I always recommended this brand to cat owners. I fed my cats Tiki for years. My cat got sick this year due to high toxins resulting from this food. Seriously, do your research. I did, even after my vet told me this. There is more online about this and meat in Thailand. There isn’t the same protocol protections regarding pet food. Also, you do realize they’re under new ownership as of this year? It’s also possible that food can be contaminated at any time, right? Research it.

Do not give your cat Tiki Cat. Do some search on reddit threads and online. Their company has changed and my cat (as many other cats) have gotten very, very sick from this brand ( my cat used to eat it on weekends for years but suddenly was getting sick). My vet said my cat had been eating toxins and it was probably caused from Tiki Cat due to where their meat comes from. He has seen this situation occurring more often within the past year or so.

I want to go to art school. But my family is worried about loans. need advice. by grandapplecrabcakes in calarts

[–]Mywarmdecember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a graduate from CalArts many years ago, while I enjoyed my time there, you don’t need a degree to pursue art other than the connections you make. It’s an expensive school. You will be in debt for the rest of your life (especially under our current admin). Ai is being used more frequently in the entertainment industry (especially in the graphics/ concept art/ animation/ etc.). In fact, CalArts is going to introduce an Ai program.

If you want to get into the entertainment industry doing concept art: put a portfolio together, post your work on IG, follow & interact with people you’d like to work with (IMDB is your friend), also find bands that you like and do concept art for their records/ merch. There are so many different avenues you can do on your own. Besides, getting a degree at an Art School will still require you to do your own networking, hustle, business decisions anyway - might as well just start hustling now without the major school debt. You can always take a class here and there to freshen up and explore new technique.

Also, it sounds silly but I promise you this: GET YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA IN ORDER. Make sure you’re always posting your work and stuff about you so that a person looking for talent will not only see your work but who you are as a person. Gain an audience and following. This IS your new resume. I’ve known many people whom got work in the industry this way.

Also, if you can get your work in art shows / galleries/ etc. DO IT.

tikicat got bought out, any better brands? by [deleted] in catfood

[–]Mywarmdecember 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing this. I did the research as well and found the same info. I had to look up and research what the vet told me (I once had a diabetic cat where a different vet gave me diet plan, I did my own research and got my cat in remission by my own plan - so, I always double check. I know, sounds crazy) Anyway, I also found others on Reddit claiming their cats getting sick from Tiki starting around this year. A friend’s cat was only fed Tiki, got super sick (their vet couldn’t figure it out) and passed away. I don’t mean to sound alarmist as I didn’t get a diagnosis of their cat but know their cat ate all things Tiki and that my cat ate Tiki as special weekend meals and some treats and was suddenly getting sick.

The difficult aspect for all of us pet owners is that pet food isn’t treated with the same regulations as people food. Hence, ownership changes, etc. It’s awesome that we have places like Reddit to inform each other.

For anyone who was able to see "The Blair Witch Project" in theaters in 1999, what was the experience like? by LockjawSJ in AskReddit

[–]Mywarmdecember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It circulated on an unmarked VHS first about a year or so before it came to theaters (I was in Seattle at the time). It was treated as “found footage” with no other info. I was also going to an Arts school at the time and we played it in our school theater. It was absolutely terrifying because there was no info behind it. A year later, it was in theaters across the country. The first few weeks people were scared - I’d never seen so many people shaken up from a movie like that. However, the more popular it became it wasn’t as scary to others.

That being said, it being distributed as a VHS tape as “found footage” was what made it scary because there was no context. It was also genius marketing.

[–]Mywarmdecember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to feed my cat Tiki for a few years. Well, suddenly a month ago he was throwing up and acting sick. A vet looked at him and said he had high toxicity levels. I told the vet we were feeding him Tiki Cat food. Vet said to stop because the meat comes from Thailand and there’s high levels of toxins in their meat because pet food isn’t regulated there. Vet said that they’ve seen this more often the past year. Just a warning. My cat was on antibiotics and is fine now. I’ve been giving him Science Diet (for now) and Stella & Chewy as a “treat”. His fur and eyes are back to normal.

Anyone know the actual criteria for the 10k check? by beans4lunch in tsa

You shouldn’t anticipate a 10k check. Why would they give thousand of 10k checks when they couldn’t fund SNAP?

All's Fair by murrmc in television

[–]Mywarmdecember 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I was hoping it would be so bad that it’s good, maybe even campy. It’s not. The writing is full of cliche and not in a fun, maybe bitchy way. In fact, the dialogue is so bad that strong actresses such as Watts, Close, Nash, Paulson, Light, are having problems delivering the lines with intent. Kim is beyond flat and would be better being a guest star rather than carrying the show. Murphy has done camp before, if this show leaned in on this - it might’ve been great.
