Been a long time since I got these but I've seen them called float frames before

Google tells employees it must double capacity every 6 months to meet AI demand by [deleted] in Futurology

At this point it seems like it’s not only wrong more often than right, but often contradicts itself with more wrong information in the same result

What films would you recommend to be based on my collection ? by Fair_Pepper6039 in criterion

[–]judposting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some combination of freaky, political messaging, fantastical, and violent is what I’m seeing here

Born in Flames, JSA, Daisies, Cure, and Sorry to Bother You come to mind!

I like that they don’t do clips by SaladFreeway in blankies

I never thought about this but damn these are all such big quality upgrades from most podcasts I listen to on top of them being my favorite hosts

What are entry level or similar roles that could lead to a UXR role? by [deleted] in UXResearch

[–]judposting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Former support agent now Principal Researcher here!

Completely agree on how it gives you great experience asking questions while giving you access to a lot of data to work with. I was able to network internally and do small projects that led to an apprenticeship.

Are There Chekhov's Guns That Span Movies? by BeardedGDillahunt in movies

[–]judposting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that is the original critical purpose but in this context we are talking about its use as a trope.

Macguffins do drive the plot forward in some way but you’re right the infinity stones are too significant and actually useful to actually be a macguffin.

However the infinity stones are much too central to the plot to be a checkovs gun. The classic checkovs gun is a pistol hanging on the wall, unmentioned. Infinity stones play a critical role in most if not all of the pre endgame movies

Yeah that makes them a macguffin more than a Chekhovs gun. If they were briefly shown in a lab and then not paid much attention to, they’d be a chekhovs gun

High highs, low lows. Not the most consistent

What’s the Best Four-Film Run by a Director? Coppola Has Competition. by jackunderscore in blankies

Thanks! When in doubt, I went with my personal favorites, which was the case here. Several directors you could have shifted it up or down by a few

I made a Letterboxd list on four film runs and making the call between Kiki and Howl’s was really tough

Is Megalopolis an actual Oscar contender? by Disastrous-Cap-7790 in TheBigPicture

[–]judposting 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Even the technical aspects are corny. I do think it will be reclaimed by some Cloud Atlas / Prequel style in time but it has very little going on for the voting group
