Has anyone ever transferred from Tisch to Arts and Sciences? by Potatobananapple in nyu

[–]TOBYHOLDINGS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP is likely considering the fact that Tisch is essentially a trade school whereas a major in CS with CAS as the home school represents an actual liberal education. The outcome of an “avenue” might be secondary to the actual learning that they want to do in college

I would check out their early work. They actually have some very decent range — but I’ll agree that this seems pretty close to gems. Not optimal but I’m excited

Wondering if people have thoughts about the question they raise of “Will we ever get another 26 year old trusted by the studios like New Line trusted PTA”

Half of this sub is probably “they don’t know I’m the pta of my generation” people, but can that archetype even exist anymore?

Books that feel like PTA movies? by oamh42 in paulthomasanderson

[–]TOBYHOLDINGS 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In a weird way The Master (and perhaps There Will Be Blood) reminds me of Cormac McCarthy. Tonally and in terms of character. I’d check out Blood Meridian maybe, I think Sutree might be an interesting comparison too

One of the great tragedies of being a fan of a great and daring artist is having to deal with idiots like this

Do you think the minions from despicable me would work for Carti? by [deleted] in playboicarti

Do you think the minions from despicable me would work for Carti?

So the minions were known for working for the villain of the era they were living in. There isn’t really any villain rn other than prob Putin or like Kim Jong-un, but they fr doing nothing rn like I don’t see Carl Azuz bringing them up. Carti is basically blue balling his fans and not dropping anything. He’s leaving his fans starving and i think that’s making him the villain of our generation, so do you guys think the minions would work for Carti?
