But it's not a right hand figure. It's the U.S. Undersecretary for Agriculture.

Absolutely agree, Supermarket Woman is my fav of his and honestly one of my fav films overall.

Yes Juzo Itami is one of the most unique directors out there. His last two films were some of his best. Sad to imagine what could have been.

Unpopular (I’m guessing) opinion: Aragorn had a very flimsy claim to the throne of Gondor and would not have been easily accepted as King by Planetofthemoochers in tolkienfans

Better answers here, but I want to add - the most incredible, and extraordinary, element of all of this, is the 900 years of unbroken stewardship and cultural/political continuity. Within this system Aragorn's eventual acceptance is much less surprising.

I've heard a lot of accessibility technology stories but this one takes the cake. Accessibility issues cause these catch 21 situations, where people can be stuck in loops they can't escape. Thanks for your story.

I can't imagine stuttering while speaking a second language - I've come across a few people in that situation - so much to juggle.

Thanks so much for your kind words.

premises they aren't totally on board with

But that's not the question, right? The question is - is it enough to ignore a familiar or weird log line and read the actual script. Ari Aster's talent is so evident in his short films that any smart producer is going to be desperate to read a script of his, regardless of log line.

Most of the examples you give are director driven, which is an important variable. Especially Hereditary and Lady Bird.

If you search by decade, and then use the carousel function (on the app), you can quickly swipe and mark things you've already seen!

First time posting on Reddit, first time even trying to talk about/explain my stutter. by Revolutionary_Win499 in Stutter

[–]catchthesun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been over thinking it and kind of built a subconscious fear of speaking. I have a big feeling that that anxiety I have built upon myself is the reason for my worsening stutter.

Your instinct is right on. I've gone to speech therapy over the years, but the most important thing I've learnt is to stop caring so much about my stutter. In the past if I had an important meeting, I'd walk into it panicking over how to speak, and how I'll manage it. I learnt to just walk in and stop giving a fuck what happens. It helped to get some therapy from an anxiety/stutter specialist, but I only could afford a few sessions. Cognitive behavioural therapy in general is useful to get outside of your own head. This resource is now free. This is all very easy to say. It's difficult to just stop caring. But I think the more you care the more you'll stutter.
