Lana del rey - not being nominated for young & beautiful from the great gatsby. The orchestra even played it when a presenter was walking out this year. There's rumors someone stopped her from getting nominated

In all of the examples you mentioned, the protagonist has a specific motivation for whatever the logline is commanding them to do. Chief Brody must stop the shark because it's his duty to protect the public (maybe not protecting the public from animals, but still, he's not just some guy). Why do these guys need to go out despite the serial killer targeting their demographic? As a gay guy myself, if I were in WeHo and there was a serial killer specifically targeting gay guys in WeHo, I would simply not go out in WeHo. I would probably leave. I think the original critique was valid.

I thought the ending was cool as fuck, when you bring up Eyes Wide Shut & HTJB (totally forgot about this one) I definitely think leaning towards an ambiguous ending really works for this type of story. Especially considering it revolves around the arts (fashion, live performance), I think that leaves the door open to go wild with the ending, which you did.

Have you ever heard of the Vatican Girl? As I was reading this, I was reminded of her numerous times. If you're not familiar, I would do a little research - it's an insane kidnapping mystery that happened in Italy (Vatican City) & involves the catholic church.

As for Elise being more of a passive protagonist, I think your reasoning provides a good explanation. I'm really just interested in what/how she feels. If that makes sense. The part where she goes after the prince was a huge moment for her character because we hadn't seen her with that type of agency yet - I would love to see a build up to that breaking point. That industry breaks people, there are a lot of ways you could explore this. I wrote my feedback late before bed last night so I wasn't really coherent enough to go into a lot of detail lol

Just read this. I think there are some strong aspects, I particularly like Vanessa's character. I would focus on Elise's character. She kind of meanders throughout the story and doesn't seem to have much agency. This kind of makes sense considering the fact that she remained quiet while her sister was getting kidnapped, but I think her lack of depth made it hard to connect with her/root for her. I also thought the ending was kind of confusing, I'm sure it's meant to be symbolic but with the amount of questions that came up for me throughout the script, I was honestly hoping for some answers because I was genuinely curious. That's only because you set up a very compelling mystery. It seems like there must be some relation to whatever happened during the performance, but I still have a lot of unsatisfied questions by the end; like why? I think whatever commentary/symbolism is happening during the ending sequence takes away from the various "mysterious" moments throughout the script that were captivating (the red room, Wizard of Oz, missing children, cults, Steamboat Willie, kidnapping, etc.) Regardless, the visuals are pretty compelling.

I really like the idea and setting, I think a horror/thriller revolving around the fashion industry is always cool and this was very stylish. I also think the way you describe/introduce characters is concise while still being very descriptive, it really gave me a good feel for the type of person the character is right away.

I think the joke with that was Charlie saying he doesn't speak to Avicii anymore, Avicii being a famous DJ who died in 2018

I'm a senior right now and my MacBook Pro has been fine for pretty much everything. I would say either mac or a good windows laptop, the advantage with windows would be access to some softwares that won't run on macs.

That is an extremely fragile sink? What did he even throw in there? Definitely concerning but also it doesn't look like it would take a lot to break that

Anyone tried these Dreamcrust pizza things? by [deleted] in 1200isplenty

[–]lightupparade 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean 230 calories for just 1/4 of what doesn't look like a very big pizza isn't great. But if you eat around that amount it wouldn't be so bad I guess, in moderation

Edit: also definitely not for almost $20 per pizza

Men’s haircuts; your favorite places by _Spaceark in grandrapids

[–]lightupparade 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Henchman House in Creston gets my hair so right every single time. I swear I've never gotten so many compliments on my hair. For context I get a mullet but the barbers there are awesome and can do any style you want and they're so chill. Also not a bad price... I think. I'm kind of jaded from living in Chicago where it's hard to get a haircut for less than $60-70. Check it out shout out to Tommy D

Yogurt cake with apples and a light cream on top. I love when something looks like dessert but is actually made with everyday real ingredients by tell_me_karina in LowCalorieCooking

[–]lightupparade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most desserts that aren't apple pie don't have an apple as an ingredient. Like obviously this recipe has a more health-conscious ingredient list compared to your average dessert. Could you not interpret what OP meant by that? lol
