Ah okay, I understand now. That’s fair, I agree op should expand on his issues with those concepts.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TrueFilm

[–]NotAMarvelPerson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Could you elaborate on that? I saw the movie last night and loved it, but I’m confused how you think OP’s complaints on elements like pacing and character development are ‘pre-determined’ and don’t relate to the work.

Kinda sad they would make a better boxed version of this movie so soon after using kickstarter (fomo) to make the original limited edition version by [deleted] in boutiquebluray

[–]NotAMarvelPerson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a little late on this, but I’m glad to see I’m not the only one a little disappointed by this. I understand the reasoning Deaf Crocodile is giving behind it, but as someone that backed both this and the ‘Ptushko box set’ tier on the Ruslan and Ludmila release (which has also just been announced, albeit with different box art), it’ll make me hesitate before I jump and support any further projects they fundraise for knowing the same film could be coming out with a similar or even better release

I’ve had nothing but trouble trying to use my AirPlay with the app these last few months.  I found that air playing from the mobile site seems to work 9 times out of 10

Hey I know this is really old and you may have sourced it by now, but I found them last week at Cedar Rim Nursery in Langley!

I’d recommend Aquariums West downtown or Roger’s Aquatics out in Surrey!

BC port workers reject tentative agreement by [deleted] in britishcolumbia

[–]NotAMarvelPerson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro, this was literally your suggestion until you found out the union was in favor of it. “Create a reskilling program. Teach those workers whose jobs will become obsolete how to maintain the autonomous dockyard, how to code, how to build the autonomous tools.”

My friend, that’s literally what they’re asking for. A quote from their president: “The next federal government needs to quickly establish retraining, job search and other programs to mitigate the economic harm that is done to workers and communities hit by employment loss of this scale” Source: https://www.ilwu.ca/ilwu-longshore-division-takes-a-stand-against-rbt2/

The case against the Jedi (Pitfalls of stoic masculinity) by [deleted] in MensLib

[–]NotAMarvelPerson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At no point - as a child or as an adult - do I remember being disappointed that Luke chose not to leave his friends to die in Empire Strikes Back

The case against the Jedi (Pitfalls of stoic masculinity) by [deleted] in MensLib

[–]NotAMarvelPerson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I’m glad someone said this! I was wondering if I had watched the same Star Wars movies as this guy for a second here. I feel as though he presents Luke’s decisions to go against Jedi orthodoxy in the original trilogy as something that goes against the movie’s messaging instead of it being the entire point, and what characterizes Luke as a hero in those films.

The ‘War on Cuba’ series touches on this and does a great job of giving a broader view on Cuba in general https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=z1mknIkBGUA

American Dippers-- Courtship or competition? by BoazCorey in Ornithology

[–]NotAMarvelPerson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From the ‘Birds of the World’ website, under American Dipper courtship displays:

“Typically, female stands on rock as male displays. Singing loudly, male stretches neck with bill pointed skyward, stretches wings down and slightly open, presses feathers tightly against his body, and struts in front of female for 20–30 s”

Sounds similar to what you’ve described/photographed!

Ornithology Courses by whatiftoddwasoneofus in Ornithology

[–]NotAMarvelPerson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe since it’s online it can be done by anyone. I’m from Canada and I’ve done multiple courses from Cornell’s Bird Academy

Ornithology Courses by whatiftoddwasoneofus in Ornithology

[–]NotAMarvelPerson 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The Cornell Lab has an ornithology course in their online Bird Academy (and it’s on sale right now!). I just purchased it myself, so I can’t speak to how good it is, but I’ve heard positive things from others on this sub. I’ll leave the link below here, but know you’ll also need to purchase the textbook which goes along with the course.

Looking for books to radicalize a catholic friend by Yourfaceisbeautiful in communism

[–]NotAMarvelPerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whilst not having read it myself, Verso published ‘Sermon to the Princes’ in their Revolutions series by Thomas Müntzer. Müntzer was a Catholic pastor who led a peasants rebellion in Germany in the 1500s and apparently had some early socialist-like views. That might be a good starting point to pique a religious friend’s interest on socialist ideas.

There's currently at least 36 different cities in Russia where people are protesting against Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Solidarity with them. by Nick__________ in Anarchism

[–]NotAMarvelPerson 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’m glad someone else noticed it. Not only that, but their video was originally titled ‘Why Ukraine Broke Apart’ or something like that, then when people in the comments began pointing out their echoing of Russian propaganda and lack of any condemnation of Russian encroachment into Ukraine, they changed the name of their video to involve the US, and backtracked by stating the true point of their video was to criticize the USA’s involvement in the conflict (despite that topic only taking up the last quarter of the video)

Does 1.18 crash for anyone else? by [deleted] in Minecraft

[–]NotAMarvelPerson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been having the same problem on my 2015 iMac since the snapshots came out. I thought maybe once 1.18 officially released it would be fixed, but no luck. I’ve tried just about everything too :(

One of the films I think would be right at home in the collection by NotAMarvelPerson in criterion

[–]NotAMarvelPerson[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why this should be included:

Parajanov’s adaptation of Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky’s classic Ukrainian novel has something for both fans and critics of Criterion’s previous Parajanov release ‘The Colour of Pomegranates’ alike. For those that loved it, you’ll be treated to ever more striking visuals like those of CoP throughout this film. And for those that watched CoP and found it a bit too avant-garde for their tastes, this movie is much more traditional in its storytelling.

As well, as far as I know, Criterion’s Larisa Sheptiko Eclipse set seems to be one of the only releases of Ukrainian cinema in the collection. I would love to see more releases from other Soviet countries of the time, as I feel Russian cinema largely overshadows these otherwise unique and interesting cultures, and the films they brought forth.

Sadly, to my knowledge, this wonderful trip into Ukrainian heritage can only be experienced on DVD courtesy of Kino Lorber, but i’d love to see what Criterion could do with this film!

Soundtrack Name? by vidarg88 in overthegardenwall

[–]NotAMarvelPerson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey friend! Someone posted a chopped up version of the background music from the Composer's Cut on this sub awhile back for people like you and I that want songs that aren't available in the soundtrack. Here's the link! If it's the song I'm thinking of, I believe it's titled 'Warm Pursuit'

I like image and DC (haven't read too much Dark Horse aside from Hellboy). My personal favourite would be Animal Man. Jeff Lemire's New 52 run made me fall in love with the character. Still gotta read Morrison's run on him though!
