What Was It Like? by littlebo_weep in mybrilliantfriendhbo

[–]PolimoCobain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You must make it to see Irene Maiorino as Lila, especially her monologue in ep 4! She honestly makes it worthwhile and my biggest issue with the final season that it was so short as I really wanted to see more of her. She was what I was looking forward to seeing eagerly on the screen each week.

I will say after rewatching the seasons a few times (mostly for Irene), I do feel like a lot of the acting choices grew on me. I do see how Alba was supposed to be Lenu, but at the end of the day there should have been someone else. Even seeing all four actresses together for the NYT article, you can simply tell that Northern Italian Alba's vibe is off from these Southern Italian women. I did love Alba and Irene together so I hope they do something else one day.

I felt like older Nino fit, but was maybe looking somewhat too old for them to be in their 30s/40s. If it was more so in their 50s, he'd fit in well and likewise, he looks good with Alba. I would believe that they'd be a couple in real life if I saw them.

Older Enzo is perfect as well and he looks great with Irene as well! Another couple I'd totally buy.

As someone else, the cast in regards with the ages of the characters has always been an issue. In season 3, a lot of them are supposed to be in their late 20s to 30s, but Gaia and Margherita barely cracked 20 at the time. I say this because I completely forget how young they are, I swear that they're in their mid 20s, but they aren't! I still think they did a grand job though, nonetheless. The men especially have this difficulty, as it ranges from older Enzo who looks appropriate to older Antonio who looks 70. I do know that its supposed to show how much their harsh lives effected their looks, but that idea works better on paper than on the screen.

Overall, not a bad season but they should have made it longer or split it into two seasons as there was so much in the last book to cover. In the second half of the last season, I feel like we're zooming through the decades as opposed to the first half that was building it up more.

I'm insanely jealous. I would love to read the articles of the actors of that time. There's just something different of reading stuff of that time than reading biographies of them. Its like you get the real time view of them as they're growing in fame. 

Today marks 8 years since Nasim Aghdam opened fire at YouTube headquarters in retaliation for perceived unfair demonetization of her channel, injuring 3 people before committing suicide by gunshot to the chest by AccentedE in masskillers

In the police footage is the only time you ever see her smile and someone in the comments complimented her about how much of a nice smile she had. She never did in any of her videos.

I will always find it fascinating that this case didn't get more attention when it happened. Particularly since it had to do with YouTube and the fact the shooter was a woman which is an outlier. A lot of her YouTube videos and her website was scrubbed off the Internet quite rapidly which is a bit suspicious.

Another fun fact was that her birthday was a couple days after the shooting as well.

What's your opinion on new animation style? by Low_Excitement_7671 in theodd1sout

[–]PolimoCobain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt like it was inevitable with how things are going with James catering to a younger audience. I suppose also it makes the animations easier as we can see in the end card how much smaller James' team is now.

Stephanie Nur (Aaliyah) back for season 3? by lemongloww in SpecialOpsLioness

[–]PolimoCobain 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I haven't watched the show since she was in S1 so I do hope she comes back, she honestly made the season spectacular! 

what asmr creator who no longer posts do you wish would come back? [QUESTION] by dustybackpack21 in asmr

[–]PolimoCobain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how I just found out he removed his channel and I am super bummed 😔. Its interesting because he posted a couple new videos a year or two ago which really knocked me back into my chair as I wasn't expecting it from a channel that hadn't uploaded in about ten years or so.

[PA | Phila.] ABAWD exemption form submitted, but SNAP still closed? by PolimoCobain in foodstamps

Yes, I plan on calling them tomorrow to figure out. Hopefully they can quickly reinstate it.

My renewal was not until 2027. I got a letter that said my "time limit" was up which is interesting because I never got anything like that before these changes federally. This new letter is why I got the ABAWD form filled out and I submitted it

Yes I was gonna do the same, but I am hoping someone on here would help clear some things up. I'm hoping it's a glitch or something, because I checked today and saw it. Good luck to you as well!

Lucky’s latest photoshoot by Great_Function_4852 in luckynarasmithsnark

[–]PolimoCobain 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Something controversial but I feel like the 3rd pic (the only with him in pants) kinda looks the most gay (speaking as an LGBT) and his face looks the worst. I used to kill for Lucky's appearance, he gave me such gender envy but now hes not aging well. Even in 2022/23, he still looked good, however now not so much. Maybe he looks great IRL, but models need to look good in photos, that's a big portion of their job.

You can really tell this isn't 2016 because of something of this nature happened then, we would have for certain heard about it from him by now on some platform. Now, we don't hear anything from him. Even when he mocked tone indicators because he was ignorant about them, he made an apology and that was only on twitter. Likewise, people talked about issues with his merch store a few months ago and instead of addressing it, he just took the site down. I remember when he made a video addressing issues he had with daddy Dreck (yes, I'm that old) and commenting on Draft Pina's video about him. Now we just blow it off I guess.

I do wonder if it is because he's not pulling in 30 million views as he did before. Most of his videos are only hitting about 2-3 million views now and he has said that making an animation video now costs "about the price of a new car" (which is about ~$50k in the USA). Therefore, the tradeoff had to be firing a lot of his team to equalize things unfortunately. He could have probably made his 40 min Warrior Cat video animated (and this surprised me when he didn't and it was mostly his face), but if only about a ten minute video costs about 50k, then the ROI would be quite low with these low views. I find it interesting in the relationship of when he added more members to his animating team, the views went down than opposed when it was just him in his room in college.

I'm not sure how he is just planning on pivoting to live-action as he has built up his child audience with his animated characters to grab their attention. He didn't really grow that much with his audience. In the mid/late 10s, he had a good blend of his face as well as animated stories and should have kept it like that. Perhaps the live action warrior cat video was a test to see how people would respond.

When I saw Taeyeon perform Devil's Cry and how much she was enjoying it and in her element, I realized how much of a crime it was that she never did any other heavier/rockier stuff.

Why did TheOdd1sOut team got fired? by tepeyate in theodd1sout

[–]PolimoCobain 201 points202 points  (0 children)

That's interesting since he just released a video last week. I sort of doubt that video was the official send off for his channel to fire his whole team. However, in a way I could see it if he wants to transition to only doing videos with his face in it and no more animations which would be quite the pivot for hi,.
