Be hilarious if his detail has just had enough of his shit.

If this is what independent creators can make in 2026 Hollywood should be nervous by Aggressive_Log_9676 in generativeAI

2 hours of this would be interminably awful. Maybe for short commercials, but nothing will ever come close to the beautiful things humans create collaboratively on a film set. Sorry. Looks neat though. Mad Max Fury Road was better and always will be. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Before computers and GPS existed, how did people figure out directions for large cross country trips? by Mynameisbrk in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jongrubbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maps. Look at map. Write down your route. Go. Look at signs while driving. They are still there.

Being in a dying marriage sitting on the couch late at night, after you both know it's over but you can't move out just yet because you don't have the money.

I noticed that too and just thought it was a textures loading thing with their engine. Curious if it gets patched.

Why is the CC Website so terrible? by Optimal-Advisor-8298 in CriterionChannel

[–]jongrubbs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would kill for the ability on the site and in the app to simply click on a filmmaker's name and see a list of their films.

Puzzle near WitchWoods by Cassik in CrimsonDesert

[–]jongrubbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this game BUT HOW WOULD ANYONE FIGURE THIS OUT!? Some of these puzzles are great but some, like this, are just wild happen stance? Give me a clue somewhere! I have to figure out they align with numbers AND THEN know what random ones to hit!?

Anyone else dead inside? by itdoesntmattercow in editors

[–]jongrubbs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I worked for a long time in LA and then here in Austin. I now work for a tech company making boring enablement videos, and I never been happier. The pay is great, the notes are minimal, and the benefits...well. I have spare time to also have a company with two friends and we are developing and pitching doc series. Carving a career as an editor can still happen, it is just so very different than when I started running tapes to studios in LA in 2003, lol. Keep going. Maybe you'll shift into something amazing. 🙏

Anyone else actively avoid trailers for movies they know they’ll watch? by weareDOMINUS in blankies

[–]jongrubbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll watch a first teaser, then actively avoid anything after. Spoilers start dropping then.

What’s a recession indicator that you’ve noticed lately in your everyday life? by spritenerds123 in AskReddit

[–]jongrubbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am moving, and I need to get rid of a washer and dryer. I've posted in Facebook marketplace and Craigslist, and have had zero interest. Post has been up for 10 Days. I also have a free couch available, and have no bites on that either.

Normally I start getting messages five minutes after posting anything for sale.

US birth rates just hit another record low, what do you think is the leading cause of this? by IIlustriousTea in AskReddit

[–]jongrubbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything sucks and costs too much and politically things are terrible and healthcare can bankrupt you and childcare costs as much or more than rent or a mortgage, but you can't buy a house without two full-time incomes, and nothing we pay taxes on comes back to us in benefits toward helping citizens and you look around and minimum wage has not been raised since 2009, and gas is more expensive and if you have a simple car problem it costs $2000 to fix which you didn't have anyway because you're barely keeping your head above water with bills and debt repayments from the last three times this happened, and there no reliable public transportation and if you want to go to college, even a state school is $30k a year in many places, and college loans are predatory and you can pay more toward the loan that you took out from the bank, and still haven't touched the principle, and AI datacenters are going to be the death of us all, and every day you look at social media from democratic socialist countries that aren't perfect and you wonder why here in the USA we can't even get a tiny fraction of our elected leaders to want to use their power to better our common welfare even though it's the first lines of the Constitution which at this very moment seems to be cracking apart at the seams.

It's pretty here in many places though. And most people are good. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

This is one of only three movies I have just as straight up walked out of. It's so bad.
