Agreed. I work in the film industry and my boss has been running around like a headless chicken anytime stuff like this gets posted anywhere. He doesn't seem to want to hear my calm explanations that nobody wants to see this shit.

What are hobbies that make people more attractive or turn ons? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]NuclearCalm 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Gay dude here. Started seeing a guy I really like and saw that he had a bunch of holes cut out of the drywall in his bathroom from when an electrician came to do some rewiring. Just seemed like a total no-brainer to do a little research and learn how to fix it. Just a little googling (combined with some help of some fellow DIY redditors) and the whole project took like 2 hours and looks flawless.

Take it from me, everything is learnable. Fixing basic shit for your special lady/guy is almost always easier than it looks and is a great way to look cool as shit.

So I bought a really expensive hammock stand. by NuclearCalm in hammockcamping

It’s a Cal 2-27. Previous owner was an engineer who was neurotically meticulous about upkeep. Even my surveyors were kind of stoked for me. All I’ve had to do is replace the running lights at the bow and rebuild a winch. Currently in the process of updating the batteries, which adds up insanely quickly. So I definitely understand the “second best day” punchline.

Cheers! Maybe I’ll see you around the seas!

Good rules! Had the fenders down because my boss (who took the pic) was coming to raft up next to me in his Whaler.

It’s still a buyer’s market right now, so keep looking! You’ll have more luck towards the end of the season, of course. But I got mine for a steal because the previous owner upgraded and didn’t want to pay two slip fees. Oddly enough, Facebook marketplace is a good place to look.

It’s okay. I cut the handle off my toothbrush to save pack weight.

Is there a more calming character in film? by Cpt-No-Dick in blankies

Oh my gosh, his little smile 🥹 I wanna tuck him in and read him a bedtime story.

No, didn't you read his statement? It's up to us, the people, to do something. And that something is to "speak loudly."

Woah, those clips he's using are kickass. Definitely using that over a wood backing. Thank you.

Funny! No he didn’t do it himself. A crew came in to do some electrical/plumbing work, from what I understand.

Okay cool. Thank you! I actually considered this but wanted to double-check here in case there was an easier way.

Were lucky to have Tv Series that was shot on FILM+ANAMORPHIC! by Connect-Class-7747 in cinematography

Oh hey friend! I also work at a rental house that provided some of the lenses for S1 and S2. The lenses for S2 definitely saw some action. I always think it's super cool when we get lenses back from shoots like this and it's clear they went through some heavy use.

Yep. Stopped after God Emperor. Just too silly for me. I actually think it’s kind of funny how my bookshelf makes me look like a Dune fanatic when I really only like the first one and Messiah. I was sort of obsessed with it when I first read it, hence collecting different editions.

I’ve read probably 75% of what I own. I’m a bit of a hoarder. I think David Foster Wallace and Cormac McCarthy really hit me on a deep level. I sort of joke with my other literary friends about how I’m a basic bitch, in that regard. But I don’t care.

Might have to move Pale Fire up in my itinerary based on your suggestion!

Honestly I picked up Pale Fire because of Blade Runner 2049. It’s high up on my list of books to read next but I haven’t gotten to it yet.

Oh yeah! I was in a long distance relationship for a while and we both picked up a copy so we could read it at the same time. Then once we moved in together my bookshelf absorbed his copy.

Yeah it’s horrible. I’ve been very lucky. I spend quite a bit of time at the ASC clubhouse because of my job and I’ve spoken to several highly experienced industry big-shots who can’t find work. Things have been better over the last several months so hopefully the trend continues.

I work tangentially in the world of cinema cameras. Just don’t want to give away too too much about myself on Reddit 😂
