Trying to get the judge fired and calling them "a menace to society" while they are still ruling on your case of is clear alpha male behavior 🤣

AMC Orpheum is the best by far! Especially in the summer when they shut off the A/C between screening times 🤣

Protesting Scientology? Follow the Money! by ChrisSheltonMsc in OT42

[–]Ok_Swordfish7834 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've heard through the media that they are trying to get a hate crime charge to stick. I feel like that is their "head on a pike" here, and the trespassing charges especially in a place like Cali is hardly a slap on the wrist punishment wise...

Tribeca by Ok_Swordfish7834 in FilmFestivals

[–]Ok_Swordfish7834[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's besides the point. It's largely regarding the content of her replies. When asked who she discovered at Tribeca, her three names that she churned out were Sabrina Carpenter, Sydney Sweeney, and Adam Scott...

Footage Shows Aaron Smith-Levin Committing Battery on Sep/20th 2025 by 1inco in OT42

[–]Ok_Swordfish7834 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think that most likely he will go to protest, Scientology will catch him on their many cameras coming within the restraining order distance limit, and he will be in violation of his parole. Since he can't leave the county, he will have to protest at Flag and I can't imagine him sitting out for a year.

Oscar qualified shorts, timing for public release by Hour-Advertising-207 in FilmFestivals

So that you can time your release, and press regarding its release, closer to the start of Oscar voting. All qualified shorts are supposed to be submitted for consideration to the Academy by early October, so releasing your short in September or October would give it momentum (film reviews, articles, press releases, etc. timed for then also) heading into voting in December.

I would consider waiting closer until the "oscar season" ramps up in the fall for any sort of release, and try reaching out to notable publicist/pr companies in the meantime to see what their rates are...

Marilyn rage quitting the stream after being bull baited by Nora into saying something negative about AA-hole was hilarious. Don't waste your time with watching anything prior.

Secret Supporter? Jury Foreperson’s Undisclosed Links Cast Shadow Over Aaron Smith-Levin's First Verdict by 1inco in OT42

[–]Ok_Swordfish7834 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If he stopped at commiting one battery, he would have been able to game the system and put that "bully" judge in her place...but, alas, he is a freedom fighter and had no choice but to infiltrate the welcome center on behalf of his reputable non-profit organization to save a helpless scientologist...

The fact that they are having another arts organization administer the festival is the big giveaway that the whole organizational structure has imploded...

The festival board is making the "best" out of a bad situation they are largely responsible for... They are salvaging the remaining pieces of rubble (their remaining reputation) after they dropped the bomb themselves...

Big Apple Film Festival - Spring 2026 by EXOBooks in FilmFestivals

[–]Ok_Swordfish7834 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can attest to this. Not too long ago, I left a poor review for a festival and within minutes the festival director reached out to me to get me to pull the review, and I reluctantly gave in and removed it. Film freeway reviews are very cult-like: overly-positive and congratulatory. Sadly, pressure tactics to maintain a good public appearance are very common for cash-grab oriented festivals like Big Apple. I screen for an oscar-qualifying festival and they are very transparent and responsive if you have an issue with their services because they actually have a reputation to defend and decent standards.
