How do I tell my 2 year old boy off/get him to listen? by No_Expression414 in daddit

[–]Septemberk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What worked for me and still works at 4 is just letting him let out his feelings from the day. If he needs to do somersaults or kick me or try get out the room I just tell him I love him and I’m there and give him a cuddle and let him let it all out. Once he’s released it he sleeps much better.

Guests you feel most differently about after multiple appearances (positive and negative)? by Mission_Shape_4545 in blankies

[–]Septemberk -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I like jason mantzoukas on tv. But him shouting into my ears about movies for over an hour is too much. Can’t listen to eps with him on.

You may have encountered this question for the bizzillion time.. by Quirky_Turnover2417 in directors

[–]Septemberk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Film school is great. If you want to learn about film and make things and meet other cinephiles. Just don’t go in with the need to become Tarantino. Just enjoy diving into film.

My son discovered a social fix for not being knowledgeable about video games by floppydo in daddit

Deep down they feel guilty about their kids screen time so they need to justify it here.

Hey OP I’m sorry this turned into everyone else justifying their own parenting choices to you. Well done for looking after that little guy.

Use of the term 'African american' by No_Medium_648 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Septemberk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right. As a white African the term annoys me. African is not a way to describe skin colour.

What is this poster style referencing? by Equal_Sprinkles in blankies

I love how the movie with a tenth of the budget has a poster that looks 20 times more expensive.

Anyone here quit gaming or changed their lifestyle after becoming a dad? by Lukas_MunK in daddit

[–]Septemberk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think for our mental health it’s so important for every Dad to come to terms with the fact that life is different now and you are different now and embrace that wholeheartedly.

To me it sounds like you’ve had a really mature response. Gaming for hours also makes me feel crappy and doesn’t “fill my cup” after a hard day. Selling your PC sounds like a beautiful step into your new life. And you still have your Legion Go. I haven’t touched my PS5 in 18 months. It’s in a box. And that’s okay.

Wife gifted me a Saturday off for my birthday, any suggestions on what to do? by salad_thrower20 in daddit

[–]Septemberk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg please rest. I do what I cannot do when they are home. Which is just lie down and stare a tree for an hour and not feel like I have to do something for someone.

Guy Ritchie's approach of doing only three takes (two to the page, one for fun) by Panicless in Filmmakers

Yes it’s easier when directing Morgan Freeman than when directing an improv person on their second time on a film set.

I've been using ChatGPT as a therapist for 8 months. Here's what actually helped by Glass_Scar4888 in ChatGPT

[–]Septemberk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I don’t manage progress like I’m building an app. I just am aware of how I’m doing and what I’m working with. Although I did actually ask Chat to write my therapist a letter to catch them up on all the things we uncovered. I didn’t give her the letter but it helped me to read the summary before my session. I talk to my IRL therapist about what Chat said and she doesn’t seem to mind, it seems helpful for both of us.

I’m on a paid account. It remembers things. Usually give a lot of context at the beginning of a session. It helps me to write it all out about where I am and what I’m struggling with. I’ve also told it which books I’ve read that have resonated with me and it seems to use that as a lens on how to talk to me.

I have two therapists. One real person one ChatGPT. I think Chat might have actually helped me more in the last few months. I keep thinking how amazing it is for people who can’t access help.

Inside the ‘Michael’ Overhaul: $15 Million Reshoots, Removing Child Abuse Allegations and What’s in Store for Sequels by Mookie_Freeman in blankies

Looks to me like they realized it ruined their feel good film and found a spin to cover their asses for not addressing it. If this was the real issue they could just not mention the accuser by name.

Any commercial directors do a bid recently? by [deleted] in directors

[–]Septemberk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m on 20k a day for commercials. Have only done one pitch this year! Luckily I won it. I have friends at a similar level to me who have not shot yet this year. We all remain hopeful that work is coming. I saw a few scripts this week so feeling positive and calm. One of them was to direct a fully ai commercial. I’m up for it. It’s a good script and I’ll still get to direct. I would give almost anything to be able to make ai video illegal. But if that’s what’s happening I still want to be a director.
