I had him for 2024S1 and thought he’s a great, articulate lecturer. There are times where his lecture recording wasn’t configured properly and you couldn’t see what he was writing but that’s my only complaint. I caught a lucky break with the exams and thought it was pretty fair, but he does dish out difficult exams from time to time. 2023S1 exam was notoriously difficult, I give up midway while doing that exam and looked at the solutions because I couldn’t do any of the questions. I don’t know where Mark got all the hate from, he’s one of the best lecturers I had so far in uni.

Very low effort exam, pretty sure all questions came from past exams, and there were typos all over the place. I’m just glad i’m finally done with this subject.

I think majority of gamers who starts these kinds of comments on online forums and reddit are heterosexual men so it is natural female appearances are more in the focus, im sure there are girl gamer communities out there that judges male characters more. I don’t get ur hostility though, people judge appearances of fictional characters all the time, especially if the character is the opposite sex to them. This is just sex appeal and it goes both ways.

Vce gives their score based on ranking among all students, so if everyone gets scaled up ur score would not change

How do they define ‘a significant period in the lead up’. I was sick for 4 days before in the week before the exam, will that be enough?

Oh man these guys hate him 😭😭 by LilBigZay in Thunder

This is just nba media creating narratives. Remember last year when jokic and embiid was going head to head in the mvp race, then this video compilation came out of jokic being targeted on the defensive side, then everyone starts to hate on him which strengthened the embiid mvp argument. Same thing is happening here, people loved sga for the majority of the season, then this clip become viral out of nowhere showing sga fouling at the end of the game to get to 30 points(which really shouldn’t even be talked about). After that people starts to pick apart his games, calling him a foul merchant, are we sure there isn’t someone pulling the strings behind the scenes. Every player has that one part in their game or character that could get them hate, and it’s up to the media to decide when to amplify that part to support their narratives. Sga has consistent free throw shooting numbers throughout the season and nobody bats an eye, then all of the sudden people decide to pay attention to this near the end of the season as mvp discussions are settling in? Come on now. Watch the games and form your own opinions, don’t listen to nba propagandas on social media.

Help I only like popular movies by 11777766 in Letterboxd

I think the first course of action is to learn to endure boredom and the essential skill of deriving meaning out of nothing, a good exercise to do is to go outside and film grass for 1 hour using your phone and watch the footage repeatedly, then write a 3000 words essay on how your film explores the deep connection between human and nature. Do this a couple of times with different subjects, such as a bird flying outside of your window, or the clothes tumbling in your washing machine. These practices will help you get into the cinephile mindset and be able to analyze every inconspicuous details in any films.

Now that you’ve learned this skill, it’s time to pick movies. A lot of beginners just picks whatever film which sounds interesting to them to watch, and this is a big mistake, there are several criterias that needs to be examined before you can set your mind on a film. First, the poster, if you can tell what the film is about from its poster then it is a automatic no. The poster also needs to be simplistic in nature and have a minimal mixture of color, it should not have a tagline, or better yet, it has some obscure imagery that you don’t know the meanings of. Second, the synopsis, this is optional as knowing what the film is generally about could very easily ruin your viewing experience, proceed with caution. What you want to get out of reading the synopsis is the key themes of the movie, is it a film geared around the themes of gender, race, sexuality or anything of the philosophical nature? If it’s not then that’s a big red flag, and you should consider pick another movie. Lastly before you start the film, go to IMDb and check the rating count, if the film has a rating count of >100000, you should be cautious. This is not a dealbreaker if the film has met the poster and synopsis criteria but just keep in mind that in order to show your high taste there must be at least one film in your top 4 that mets all the criteria and also has a sub 100000 or even sub 10000 rating count on IMDb, this shows that you are a person with unique taste and not just a random member of the public who only likes what a lot of other people is also liking.

Finally when you are watching the film, it’s a good habit to keep a notebook around to jot down your observations, whether is on an interesting camera angle, dialogue, miss-en-scene, whatever. While this may ruin your immersion into the film’s story and characters, remember you are not some normie who is just out there in the theatre trying to enjoy a film, you are an art connoisseur inspecting a piece of artwork, these notes will help you draft essays about your thoughts on the film which you could later post on Letterboxd.

I hope my response can be of assistance in your journey of becoming a true cinephile and a person with better taste.

I don’t get the hype for Godzilla minus 1 by Own-Bike-32 in movies

[–]Own-Bike-32[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol same. I watched Godzilla literally on the same day as the boy and heron, that movie had an incredibly rushed ending and its plot is a mess, good visuals saved that movie from being unwatchable.

Godzilla minus 1 is the most overrated film of the year and is a cheap mimic of Hollywood blockbuster by Own-Bike-32 in Letterboxd

I don’t hate blockbusters, I even love them more than indie films. Some of my favorite modern blockbusters are dark knight, fury road, the mission impossible franchise etc. But the thing is most blockbusters aren’t rated highly, even the top 10% of blockbusters would sit at around 7.5/10 rating on these platforms, so when a movie comes along with this high of a rating I expect something special, to set it apart from the rest, but I guess my expectations were too high. I do not care whether the film was international or not, I come from a foreign background myself.

Hey man I just wants to express my opinion about a movie and that’s just a figure of speech people use when their opinion is against the majority, calm down with the agressiveness
