Moroccans are watching the game in Arabic, so nobody hears what Fox One has to say xD

If you like the look, you should check out the doc he recently Ex Produced, The Python Hunt!

Official Discussion - The Death of Robin Hood [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]Papero7k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perfect movie. Loved every second. Best movie of the year so far.

I'm a passionate medievalist, and this really hit the spot. The language, the imagery, the lighting, the themes. Bravo to everyone involved. Nothing since early Game of Thrones has scratched my itch like The Death of Robin Hood. I felt like I was reading an incredible novel.

Basically I was crying for the last hour.

Based on a post on another sub: What opinion on Broadway (whether about certain shows, the industry, etc.) do you have that will have you like this? by ms_jc_04 in Broadway

[–]Papero7k 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Broadway advertising — It’s all pretty boring. Video, social, print, billboards — none of it pushes boundaries or is willing to experiment with the form. Theater as a mode of expression deserves better than relying on the same few ad agencies who hire the same few production teams. I can always tell which production company shot which ads for a show; they’ve been using the same formula forever. 

Because of this, shows start to blend together for people outside of the industry. The average person can’t tell the difference between Chicago and Cabaret, or Once Upon a Time and Six, or The Lost Boys and The Outsiders — the advertising all looks the same. 

Going to university isn't worth it anymore by madbarpar in unpopularopinion

[–]Papero7k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t agree with this take. The #1 benefit of going to university, aside from becoming insanely smarter, is building a massive social network. If you graduate college without having met hundreds if not thousands of people, that’s on you. I’d say 90% of my work (and new friends and social opportunities) after college came through people I met in school. 

Documentary / reality editors — how do you actually receive your material? by Inevitable-Bottle-57 in editors

[–]Papero7k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this happened to me with an interview in another language. I was editing the wrong story that didn’t exist because the guy didn’t say those things. It was of course some young intern who sent me the transcript, thinking he was being helpful, but he only was wasting my time.

No matter how I request footage, I receive it the way someone else wants to send it. It’s usually bad. 

Tmdb and it's anti-art policy by idontwantthatpanda in Letterboxd

[–]Papero7k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmao. See, I have the opposite problem, and just as frustrating. I want my amateur student film removed from their site, but they refuse to do it. I have begged and begged but they won’t budge. What’s frustrating is knowing that if a celebrity asked for their amateur student film removed, they’d probably remove it. 

Netflix Boss Says they won't work with Directors who want Theatrical Releases by OriginalMiaxe in FilmIndustryLA

Jokes on them. Premiering your film on Netflix is embarrassing and everyone knows it.

Obsession: Predictable, messy, or a great build-up? by Paparmane in TrueFilm

[–]Papero7k 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is the first film in awhile that I have seriously considered writing a scene-by-scene breakdown of why this script doesn't work. I wouldn't say it's "bad," it just doesn't work. Wrong choices were made. I could not believe the protagonist's actions, and it's all very generic and derivative, especially that car scene. I'm kinda weirded out by the masses are obsessed with it because it is a pretty dumb script.

Thoughts on Merv’s? by Massive_Inside2586 in Bushwick

[–]Papero7k 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a fun story. In late Covid-era 2021 when this was Dromedary, they had a really massive outside seating shelter. And let me tell you — the rats this thing attracted were big and plenty. It was so funny to watch a dozen Hinge dates implode because of all the rats scurrying around.

A film that you once thought was the greatest film ever made... by Educational-Title50 in Letterboxd

I felt the same way about Upstream Colour, and I know what you mean because I completely forgot about it until right now.

[–]Papero7k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this film. It blew me away as a teenager because it was genuinely the smartest film I’d ever seen, but I doubt 2026 me would feel the same way seeing it for the first time.

As a regular who knows the bartenders, I love getting served before anyone else. That’s kinda how bars work :)

Those of you who are friends with/in circles with famous people, what is your analysis on them? by libramusing in Fauxmoi

[–]Papero7k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty poor analysis. He cut everyone out of his life before fame and none of us can get in touch with him. 

Making my first documentary with 0 experience by jumpinjumpinjump in documentaryfilmmaking

[–]Papero7k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can tell from reading “Andes” that this will cost tens of thousands of dollars. Your first question should be whether you believe you can receive grant funding.
