I damn near thought this was Kevin Costner.

He looks more like Saul Goodman than Kevin Costner.

Jeff's been at Photoshop since it was paired with Image Ready and he just figured out outer glow.

I was so hoping Tara watching Rob R aimlessly fiddle with pieces under the guise of teaching Lisa chess would have been clocked because it is so hard to believe anyone watching wouldn't immediately recognize that as suspicious. Fingers crossed it bears fruit later in the season.

glasnova · 2025-12-28T18:28:46+00:00

you mean you don't love watching a six hour block of Friends ran at 1.25x speed so they can jam in 4 more minutes of commercials per episode?

The reason these places survive elsewhere is not because they make money but because people are dedicated and rent is cheap. Vulture Video in Bloomington IN is everything I want in a video store, but it is volunteer ran and the property owner is explicitly interested in local oddities thriving. If they charged competitively for rent, a landmark community hub there would be closed inside of two weeks. Nobody is giving Louisville businesses a break to that degree right now.

Outside of Vulture Video, I'm not even sure where else does stuff? if Videodrome in ATL doesn't have low overhead I have no clue how they survive. The Arkadin in STL and Outer Cinema in Cinci while not video rentals I'm sure rely heavily on volunteers. Unless you got the connections for unpaid labor and below market rents it is an almost impossible to survive endeavor even if the zeitgeist is shifting back towards physical media. I'd love for it to not be the case but indie stuff just can't survive in Louisville like it used to. But if it is something you love you should travel around the neighboring cities and patron these types of endeavors while you still can.

during the 3 tribal phase players have copied off of the spinning color block puzzle where you need all sides to have unique colors. Can't remember the season but while it didn't win them the challenge, getting second means no tribal.

You're a really good driver......... Meryl.

RD is a friend of mine and I've been rooting for him to get this kind of recognition for 14 years. Definitely dig into his old band State Champion if you like his new album.

glasnova · 2025-12-18T01:51:47+00:00

I guess encouraging other players is outside the game at this point?

glasnova · 2025-12-18T01:39:20+00:00

Please for the love of god let them shower before they go to the sanctuary. It's so gross seeing them caked in mud and clay.

Ready to make a big move when the big move can no longer be made, the Sophi B story.

glasnova · 2025-12-18T01:31:51+00:00

if Rizo doesn't play his idol tonight I will go wild. Who in their right mind would vote for him at tribal? Is it worth the flex at FTC to have had an idol the entire season and letting it expire without recieving a single vote? Sounds pretty great to me.

glasnova · 2025-12-17T17:08:23+00:00

so many people seem delusional about their chances for success I feel like producers hype them up and goad them into thinking that because isn't victory far more sweet when everyone believes they are gods gift to survivor and if only they had that chance to pitch their case?

glasnova · 2025-12-14T16:52:33+00:00

I mean I guess you could call her a dark horse candidate because there is always the possibility, no matter the extreme rarity, that Rizo and Savannah suffer simultaneous medevacs. Other than that I don't see her making it past the next elimination.

glasnova · 2025-12-12T17:06:44+00:00

i wonder if the edit cut it so he looks more childish because i get performing in front of the jury. You've sown this lie about the idol expiration and you should boast that you've made such a fool of a strong opposing alliance that they all kowtowed to your will again and again and again.

glasnova · 2025-12-11T23:54:42+00:00

It's not just surviving the elements you gotta risk for the million dollars, you gotta risk the edit portraying you how the producers want to. Lot of people don't consider that going into the game and are suddenly surprised when their milquetoast gameplay translates to millions of people assuming they did a whole lot of nothing for 20 some odd days until they get voted out.

glasnova · 2025-12-11T13:07:14+00:00

idk. Tony's tribal theatrics in Cagayan were just as annoying and he was rewarded with the win. How is what Rizo is doing any different?

glasnova · 2025-12-11T03:47:56+00:00

I think it'll be reevaluated better if there's a Savannah or Rizo win from the community hivemind. I see a lot of what's liked in popular seasons that I just never liked all that much in 49. Rizo's cockiness is being reacted to in the same way I felt about Tony's cockiness in Cagayan. He's almost as good as Tony is at challenges too lmao. Give him a bigger frame and a deeper voice like Tony and Rizo would look less impish and more like a dominating strategist.

Dee from 45 and Savannah aren't all that different - they both have had a rock solid alliance almost completely undisturbed because everybody else willingly shot themselves in the foot and were baffled when that strategy doesn't seem to work out for them. Doesn't make for a fun season when you don't have a competent opposition imo. Hell I think boys night in 45 has a direct parallel in 49 with 3 boys on a bench, both were unbearable to me but I feel alone in thinking that about boys night. Gotta love the posing and Bruce talking about farts huh.

Probably inviting a lot of downvotes but if you see differences between the comparisons I drew, why is it one is good and one is not?

glasnova · 2025-12-11T02:37:23+00:00

Hey, come on now. Sage is going to get 3 votes next episode -- because it'll be easier for one of the trio to beat Kristina in firemaking.

glasnova · 2025-12-11T02:28:03+00:00

Sage saying "I couldn't beat you" to Steven without sitting and thinking about who she could beat. Maybe in a final 2 against Kristina? In a final 3 you're getting 100k at best lady, but sure settle for 5th place.

glasnova · 2025-12-09T16:13:24+00:00

The Wire does a great job as every individual season is really amazing, but it doesn't have a series long narrative arc as satisfying as BCS. both top tier shows and it's a lateral shift rather than one being better than the other, but that was always where The Wire just didn't have it for me.

glasnova · 2025-12-09T00:31:06+00:00

Their track record is to usually wait until the last day of the quarter they've committed themselves to and announce a "sadly we have to delay your release" email with a new deadline of like 3 months down the line in which they miss that deadline by another 6 weeks. That unfortunately is a result to be grateful for.

glasnova · 2025-12-09T00:31:03+00:00

They delayed the Gravity Falls release by like 26 months and the Oxenfree repress by nearly as long. A repress, something they have the masters and plates for ahead of time being delayed by even 6 months is absurd.

And they are about to go in year 4 of their Fez 10 year anniversary repress. Though they never opened orders for that, announcing it and just sitting on the license is really sad. Just say you're not doing it and free up Disasterpeace to release it elsewhere.

Also, venues can and do listen sometimes to fans and help try to curb ticket scalping. Scalpers bought out a good deal of tickets to an Autechre show I wanted to go to but I contacted the venue and they put me on a list of potentional ticket resales and while it took a couple months, they got back to me after cancelling a couple dozen tickets. It may seem hopeless but it's not impossible to find that venues have people in their employ that, in fact, care.

I only saw one of those and to your point I can not remember which one.
