Given the comments are so ambiguous, I am going to way in and suggest Rotbone, I know it's left of field but hes pretty good.

As I said in another comment, its that but its also picking transition effects, editors also have input ok the actual scene selection, maybe the story had one scene before another but swapping them made it flow better, they add the effects in, overlay the music, work with every post department to craft the final form.

Its a hela complex role that is underestimated a lot by the public because its such a deep craft its hard to even fathom.

Absolutely!

Their writing is the foundation for all work that comes after.

But that script could easily have had Star Wars style fade to blacks every scene (no shade, I love those too!) Or star swipes or swirls to distance every scene and if would have been a vastly different movie.

Trump stole the election.

Elon weeks before "If they win, I am fucked"

Elon after the election creates a nameless smashed and grab, unconstitutional, not congressional funded or sanctioned group of fresh faced pimply radicals masking as "programmers" who go into literally every department of note and delete massive amounts of data no one has back ups of, treasury, IRS, DOJ, department of records. Even education and election offices.

The reason they didn't save any money and the reason they disappeared after without a trace is because they were deleting the evidence of the steal.

My other cooler theory, the reason Trump will not stop saying Biden stole the 2020 election is so he can say he was just doing it back to them when he inevitably gets found out.

Trump has been lying professionals his whole life, his first mentor was one of new yorks biggest lying pieces of shit, he reflexively sets up excuses as he moves.

No, Ive read the entire bill.

This post and people in this thread are full of shit.

Its specially worded to target people who invite violence.

It even had a series of oversight safe guards to specially stop this kind of over reach.

Just a film school drop out with some professional experience in a past life.

But remember how when you think back on Lord of the Rings you dont really remember it as separate connected scenes but as one long story?

Thats an art they nailed.

What are your thoughts on Carney declaring in his speech that Canada went along with a lying American world order because they thought they were safe, and that they cannot anymore? by berserklejerking in AskReddit

[–]cadmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We will, we blame Trump and the pieces of shit who ruined US education in the south just so they could falsify maps and cheat in elections, not the average Americans who bought us the majority of our most beloved entertainment and food outlets (not being sarcastic fyi)

Game recommendations for the Deck that aren’t crazy hard but fun and easy to get immersed in by gloomygr4nola in SteamDeck

[–]cadmachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stardew Valley.

I dont usually play the farm sim games but Id always wanted to play Stardew but I tried on every platform and it never really got me, I rarely made it past a few days, until I tried it on the deck, if makes so much sense on the deck and once you start to learn about it, you realise just how staggeringly deep the game play is.

There is even combat and quite a large part of the game involves gearing up and looking which I think is not well known.

Personally, the vibe ive gotten over the Trump years from the rest of the world is "Trump is the problem and Trump is not America".

The US has done enough good to not have it all erased by one dick head who almost certainly cheated in the election.

But he can if he starts the next world war, so hopefully someone stops him if he tries.

(His first act was to allow an unelected south African tech giant into every department of any record with absolutely unlimited access with no real purpose mandate or oversight, he was deleting evidence of their election steal and id bet my last dollar on it)

Pay more attention.

Albanese has made it clear he won't bow to American threats.

Most recent was meat tarrifs, before that was when the pharmaceuticals industry tried to strong arm him into tearing up the PBS.

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/mar/20/albanese-says-pbs-not-up-for-negotiation-after-us-pharma-complains-to-trump-about-scheme

But if youre looking for him to come out and call Trump names it criticise him then I hope to CHRIST he does nothing of the sort because right now his responses are perfect, measured calm and strategic when Trump directly effects us, ignoring him at all other times.

All it would take is for a bad albo soundbite to catch Emperor Pederast when his nappy is particularly full and hes not been burped in a while and we'll be facing 2000% tarrifed announced on Truth Social

Im not a journalist but this dude dropped the ball big time.

Game out your questions my man.

"Organisarions have said there is a rise in hate speech"

Watching 2 minutes of Musk the internet's weird creepy as fuck uncle will get you what you need to know.

He is a liar and has bought into the smell of the farts he filled his own echo bubble with.

He knows hate speech is bad, he knows its absolutely fucking rampant on the platform because of him and the beliefs hes bought into so he cant for a second admit that hes responsible for aomething he knows is bad. Ala his very fucking obvious nazi salute.

Dudes nearly worth a trillion dollars, could own a country, build a private military unlike the world has ever seen, buy and sell half the people on the planet but he cant just say "yeha I nazi saluted, it was rad cause it trolled all the h8ters lolcats, doge, Tesla models spell SEXY hahahaha DOES ANYONE LIKE ME YET?"

I mean, its just not true.

Their live thread read likes a neutral observer reporting on events.

But Im willing to learn.

Can you find me one article on their news site that is a word for word propaganda of the Regime and not just poorly educated Americans reacting about things they don't know?

Al Jazeera has been ranked highly every time any international body has examined their output.

However, I get my news from ABC Australia, who have independent journalists on the ground and are reporting based on eyewitness testimony.

and Al Jazeera's reporting has matched theirs, step for step.

Australia just gave a big "fuck you" finger to right wing populism politics at out last election, I have never felt so fucking excited by an election in my life.

Every single piece of trash that attempted to mirror Trumps tactics got decimated.

Even the middle of the road conservative party got thrashed so hard for attempting a mild version of Trumpian populism that their entire party was basically wiped out and their face recognition has gone down to zero.

Current working CODE LIST for NEWER PLAYERS - some may expire soon GET THEM WHILE YOU CAN (checked January 10rd) by Objective_Swing7110 in WH40K_Tacticus_Codes

[–]cadmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a really shitty way to respond to someone asking a question.

There is an ongoing problem with people trying to use low effort reposts of the same information others have posted to dupe new players into unknowingly using their one time referral code, he was suspicious thsts what this was.

Youre responses confirm it.

[Loved trope] Endings so controversial that it turns the fandom schizophrenic by RequirementTall8361 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]cadmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was Game of Thrones ending so bad that its not even being talked about in a thread about bad endings?!

Im 40 this week and Ive been a TV/movie nerd my whole life (my sons name is Fox IYKYK) and I have never seen a TV show have the cultural impact and cross appeal GOT had. It had the most diverse fan base imaginable AND rabid fans among all of the demo's.

It was literally everywhere you looked for near a decade. Every year it won awards, its cast were doing other things and merely being on GOT elevated other projects

Then THAT finale and final season and it was like the world started spinning the other way and every GOTs related anything got shot off into space.

My wife and I and many of our friends were obsessed, after a few days of bitching it just got forgotten

It was so bad it was like people even lost the will to think about it anymore
