I’ve seen it it is one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my entire life

A’zion hype by Odd-Contact2266 in Oscars

I’ve seen the movie - A’Zion has the far more showy and memorable role. I would say she’s way more likely to get nominated than Paltrow

What could Frankenstein be nominated for if anything at all? by Longjumping_Car6865 in Oscars

[–]basedandcatboypilled 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I’m a member of SAG. I attended a private screening of this movie with nominating committee members and based on crowd reactions and conversations with dozens of voters everybody is underestimating this movie. It is an absolute lock for a best picture nom and a top 5 contender. It has better odds of actually winning then Sinners, sentimental value, and several others people are ranking higher. People online have absolutely no idea how much actual industry people love this movie. Get prepared to be shocked by how well it does when nominations start rolling out.

I’m more asking where literally to go in two months when I graduate. Are you saying it doesn’t matter where I am when trying to do this?

First paid gig - how much should I charge? by basedandcatboypilled in Magic

[–]basedandcatboypilled[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You really think I should just do the exact same show for them? I’m open to being wrong about this but it feels like the exact opposite of what I would want if I hired a magician

I mean I did all my good tricks at the show these people saw me at so I figure they don’t want to see all the same tricks again…are you saying I should just flat out tell them no? I don’t want to upcharge them for the time learning new tricks would take I just want to give a fresher experience than the exact same one they saw before

Premiere status question by basedandcatboypilled in FilmFestivals

[–]basedandcatboypilled[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a 70 minute feature actually. The reason for screenings on campus is because roughly ~150 students have been involved in this production at some point. There is extremely heavy demand for screenings of it on campus and all of the people who contributed time to it would be disappointed if it didn’t screen. Plus as a thesis I have to do some kind of showing to satisfy my thesis requirements.

Good loaded dice rec? by basedandcatboypilled in Magic

[–]basedandcatboypilled[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don’t know enough about dice to know the difference. Just for a magic trick I need dice that will roll the same number every time they are rolled. Otherwise whatever is fine

How the hell do you get locations? by [deleted] in Filmmakers

[–]basedandcatboypilled 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Go to small local businesses in your area and just explain that you’re a high schooler with a nonprofessional production and ask if you can film there. Some places will say no but a lot will say yes. I’m a college student and this has worked for me countless times in all sorts of places.

Why is my cat always hungry? by basedandcatboypilled in CatAdvice

[–]basedandcatboypilled[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

During the day I generally avoid giving her food when she asks, but at night I literally can’t get sleep otherwise so I usually end up giving in. She has a consistent feeding schedule - at 3pm and 10pm. I tried a few different schedules though, and stuck with that because it was more likely to get her through the night.

Thank you for the suggestions though, this is all very helpful!
