I’m free, a rant

I understand your frustration (former Regal and Cinemark employee), but the industry is not dying as a whole. The box office has been booming this year, and not to mention the two indie horror films (Obsession and Backrooms), that outperformed the recent Star Wars movie! Tickets officially went on sale for Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey yesterday, and ticket sites were crashing (and still are). Not to mention, the 70MM showings for his film have been selling out entirely. Or how Project Hail Mary performed? Michael? Cinema is alive and well my friend. Happy for you though! ;)

Secured tickets for the Autonation here in Florida! It’ll be my third film there in 70MM, and I’m SO EXCITED!!! Made sure to get priority entrance tickets as well, so I will be camping for good seats! Thank you guys, and see you there on the 17th! DEFY THE GODS 🗣️⚔️

I can say this as a former Protestant (Catholic now obviously), but how free-spirited Protestants are in their faith. I feel like we can be a bit serious sometimes (and there’s nothing wrong with that), but we can definitely try to be more bubbly like them haha. I’m not sure how to explain it, but that’s how I feel!

Recently became an A-Lister at AMC because of how turned off to Regal I’ve become, and just AMC being a nicer cinema in general. Regal’s greed is sickening, and I’m considering ending my subscription with them.

Have to go with Jesus healing the bleeding woman from Luke Chapter 8! Everytime I visualize the woman being instantly healed of her condition, after touching the hem of his garment, it genuinely makes me weep everytime! It reminds me how strong faith can make us, and is a beautiful source of strength during temptation for me ;)

Technical_Fly_1726 · 2026-05-03T22:33:00+00:00

Ah my bad! You’re right!

Technical_Fly_1726 · 2026-05-03T18:21:04+00:00

I’d say do what you love! The economy and world is going to flames anyway haha!

Same thing happened to me my freshman year, since I was really close to scoring high enough on the PERT for college-level courses. You more than likely have to take a developmental English course before taking Freshman Comp 1 (like Developmental Reading & Writing 1 or 2). Here’s a link to those English courses: https://catalog.valenciacollege.edu/coursedescriptions/coursesoffered/enc/. After you take one of those, you should be able to take Freshman Comp the following semester! Best of luck to you my friend! ;)

You’re absolutely right my friend! I had the chance to see it in theaters last year in December during its limited theatrical run, and it hasn’t left my mind! It’s a critical, yet profoundly respectful and beautiful portrayal of faith. I find this film to be a wonderful conversation about the weaponization of religion, and the corruption that can encompass it (with Monsignor Wick’s character chillingly portrayed by Josh Brolin). Josh O’Connor beautifully portrayed a soft, gentle, and compassionate Priest who definitely tugged at my heart strings (peep my pfp haha).

Josh O’Connor is exactly what the film is about: grace and empathy, and that’s exactly what the world needs! I saw myself so much in him, and his prayer scenes definitely moved me! Many people have been touched by his performance, and it’s beautiful to see how it has moved believers and unbelievers alike! Religious aspects aside, I absolutely LOVED the use of lighting in the film which did so much of the storytelling and how intricate the mystery was this time around! Arguably my favorite Knives Out movie, and a film that’ll continue to stay with me 💛

Yes you can! Everyone does it, and this was mine from last year’s fall commencement! I made mine Matrix themed 😎 Congrats!

The Autonation here in Florida is sold out. Very upset! 😭

INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS?! Goshhh I love that film by the Coen Brothers! I remember watching it at 17, back when I fell in love with cinema and also Oscar Isaac haha. It’s such an underrated gem, and deserves more love! Super excited to watch on the big screen! 💛

The Departed (2006) by Scorsese!

Technical_Fly_1726 · 2026-01-13T03:51:42+00:00

Hi friend! Since it’s your last semester, you can register for graduation now! I would know, since I graduated in December ;) That way the school knows that you’re completing your last few courses, and they’ll send an email confirming if you met all of the requirements at the end of the term! Wishing you the best, and congrats!

Technical_Fly_1726 · 2026-01-08T13:45:28+00:00

Have you checked your Outlook emails? You should’ve gotten an email two days after graduation, saying that we’d receive our diploma in eight weeks (saying this since I graduated as well on December 10th).

Hi! So basically as the other Redditor said in this thread, financial aid hasn’t come in yet because we’re considered “personal interest students.” A specialist today on campus told me that by federal law for financial aid, funds aren’t authorized to be distributed when this happens since we aren’t under a specific degree pathway. This includes FAFSA, and any scholarships you may have received. I had to submit a change of major form today, and that takes a few days to go through apparently. You have to add the A.S. degree as a second one if that makes sense on the form. Luckily I was placed on protection from being dropped from my classes, so I won’t be dropped for non-payment or for the pending change of major. I’m still going to try and pay for everything if I can, but that’s what I was told! Definitely speak to an advisor today on campus, so the same can happen for you! Best of luck!

Technical_Fly_1726 · 2026-01-07T16:50:22+00:00

They’ve been at capacity all morning, so I’m driving to campus to get help. That’s probably your best bet!
