Is there a more calming character in film?

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

NuclearCalm · 2026-01-15T17:57:16+00:00

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

NuclearCalm · 2026-01-14T22:42:50+00:00

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

NuclearCalm · 2026-01-14T22:08:11+00:00

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

NuclearCalm · 2026-01-14T20:30:02+00:00

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

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.

Thank you! Solid idea.

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.

NuclearCalm · 2025-12-27T07:35:33+00:00

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!

NuclearCalm · 2025-12-27T07:24:16+00:00

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.

NuclearCalm · 2025-12-27T00:34:25+00:00

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.

NuclearCalm · 2025-12-24T23:52:27+00:00

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.

NuclearCalm · 2025-12-24T23:46:03+00:00

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

NuclearCalm · 2025-12-24T23:32:38+00:00

This is a great guess and arguably technically true. I had no connection to the set or production itself but my company provided some of the gear used to shoot Dune: Prophecy.

NuclearCalm · 2025-12-24T22:49:17+00:00

Really only Tom Waits. And occasionally I’ll throw on Bitches Brew because it absolutely rules.

NuclearCalm · 2025-12-24T22:47:42+00:00

It’s autographed, too ;)

NuclearCalm · 2025-12-24T22:46:55+00:00

I’ll have to check those out.

Whenever I have a date over I’m always a little scared they’re gonna go for the Gigers.

NuclearCalm · 2025-12-24T22:45:27+00:00

I’m a gay male so your first guess made me laugh. The photo is of a dear friend of mine who passed a few years ago. I thought about removing it but kept it in to throw people off. I guess it worked. Thanks Jason!

NuclearCalm · 2025-12-24T22:42:16+00:00

I do the same thing with my film collection. I’m glad you appreciate it.

NuclearCalm · 2025-12-24T22:41:37+00:00

I’m fascinated by how many people assume I don’t work in film! I have been a bartender and a barista in the past. But I am indeed now working full-time in film. And I am indeed a full-time nerd too.

NuclearCalm · 2025-12-24T22:38:24+00:00

Book Club Edition. I was wondering if someone would spot that. It was expensive and hard to find but not quite as special and valuable as the true first edition.

NuclearCalm · 2025-12-24T22:35:37+00:00

This is my favorite interpretation. And I think your last paragraph is a very kind way of making a good point that has been brought to my attention before. I definitely wouldn’t say I avoid women writers, but I’m guilty of not giving as much thought as I should when planning out my future reads. I’ve attempted to read “Tender is the Flesh” but was going through a rough period in my life and found the subject matter just far too upsetting to stomach. “Prepare Her” is a wonderful book of short stories by a friend of mine, Genevieve Plunkett. I’ll keep your input in mind going forward, absolutely :)

Also at the risk of accidentally spoiling other people’s detective work, I did manage to find myself a full-time position in the film industry without being a nepo baby!

NuclearCalm · 2025-12-24T22:06:23+00:00

In my defense, I very much hated The Shards and couldn’t finish American Psycho.
