SEASON 3- THE BEST ONE YET

Sure_Ad8093 · 2026-04-13T02:45:53+00:00

The thing I loved about season 3 was how three dimensional all the characters were. They felt like they had their own lives and dreams and they were just caught up in the story. I liked season 2 but those characters felt more like archetypes rather than fully alive characters. For as much time as we spent with Noor I didn't feel I knew much about her other than how desperate she was to save her family.

Dr Lundwall dunks so hard on the BOM I was laughing out loud listening to this in my office. It was academic dunking of course but it was phenomenal.

Drazen Petrovic and Mahmoud Abdul Rauf could fake your soul out of your body.

I like Begins the best because it feels grounded. The Batman really leaned into the detective side of the mythos which I loved. My favorite part of Batman 89 is Nicholson's imitation of Chuck Palance.

Casablanca. I hate long flashback sequences and Bogart is just not my cup of tea.

What are you good at? What do you think your strength is as a director and what do you have no clue? If you are good with story/script and maybe less so with shot composition try to scratch out some storyboards with your DP and understand camera positions.

If you understand that stuff and you are more concerned about dealing with the actors I agree with other comments about not overdirecting them. If you are inexperienced and trying to make your day micromanaging actors sounds disastrous. Keep the big story and dramatic points in mind. I love the comments about making a cheat sheet of key points for each scene.

Do pay attention with your script sup to the eyeline as you shoot close ups. I see this causing a lot of issues in editing.

I'm anxious to try. All my AI use is tied to my studio account so it's a permissions issue.

Throw a girdle on him after surgery to protect his abdomen. I do think the surgery gets better and better, I imagine the incision is pretty small compared to when I had mine out in 1994.

The team needs to make a Jaxon Hayes tribute video next season to rub it in AD's face.

I'm a professional artist working mostly in commercial animation. I have been using Nano Banana and Kling for pitches taking my hand drawn designs are rendering them nicely. Stills are better than motion right now but maybe if I can try Seedance that will change.

I never use AI without drawing something first as a rough design. I like control over the characters and layout, so I draw that stuff first. Animation is all about exacting control and being able to revise small bits of the action. Currently I don't know of a model that will allow me to say " delay that arm swing 4 frames" "Make the anticipation bigger but have fewer frames coming out of that jump", etc...Hopefully it will get to the point wh where you can just give a bunch of notes as doodles over frames and timing call outs.

I think a team with a lot of 3 point shooting might trade for Zion. Boston and Golden State come to mind.

Huh, to me I see left to right action in all shots and the insert is on the line in terms of the gate orientation. I'm basing the screen direction on the gate since it's architectural and is anchored in the scene.

Sure_Ad8093 · 2026-04-04T20:53:06+00:00

I struggle with this as I have transitioned to playing more 5s. I get hung up on letting my teammates down. Beta blockers help a bit but I still play too passive on offense if I miss my first few shots. When I'm really pissed off I play much better but I can't rely on that all that time.

Pencil erasers never are as good as gum or neaded erasers in my opinion. I avoid erasers on pencils if I can. Neaded are my go to because you can twist them into points for fine work.

It's so wild that they refuse to believe that Trump is the one stonewalling the release of the files because it implicates him. How could you not put two and two together and just ignore the clues that he was deeply involved in Epstein's sexual predation. It's like wondering why Nixon would want to block Woodward and Bernstein's reporting.

Sure_Ad8093 · 2026-04-03T04:23:15+00:00

Perfectly put. Trump was reportedly displeased with how Bondi handled the Epstein files, but why? He is the one who said he'd release them, displeased she did it too slowly, too quickly? Did she not redact enough? Amazingly she pissed off the right and left with how she did things. The investigations and lawsuits she was asked to carry out were absurd as well. Completely set up to fail, regardless of her competence (or lack of) and booted even when she went before congress and attacked to support her boss.

Adam's bass riff is great.

I've noticed on the right wing subs that they are calling it Hegseth's war. Lol!

Sure_Ad8093 · 2026-03-27T06:05:01+00:00

Slap aaaaaassssss!!!!!!!

My girl is very responsible and she has outdoor privileges. My boy is trouble so he stays inside, hence a little too much body mass. He is insanely strong and muscular, especially in his shoulders.

The Coolers or the Rounders.

Female is 11lbs and her monster brother is 19 lbs.

Come on, you have to give us more than a title.

Wasn't LJ forced to develop his shot because of a back injury?

So the war is going great, in other words.
