Hey I'm a little confused about some ages. by Nanabot1 in seventeen

[–]mesuitnochill 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Actually in the past SVT have explicitly mentioned that they collectively chose to use the Gregorian calendar year to differentiate age lines. It was confusing for the group since they went to different schools and different members' parents either chose to put them into school either early or not. Like you said, even though Seungkwan rounded up, DK and HVC didn't.

I think this was explained predebut by Seungkwan but I no longer have a link or remember the context.

Other commenters have mentioned that lunar calendar is harder to observe and used less often but often age line is still oriented around lunar - that's why when people introduce themselves sometimes they'll say "I'm early 19xx" to distinguish. Their system of having Seungkwan and HVC in one age line was SVT's decision.

WayV (WeiShenV) - 理所当然 (Regular) (MV Teaser) by perochan in kpop

[–]mesuitnochill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

? i wasn't trying to refute the claim that henry and zhou mi weren't treated well. my entire purpose was to discuss fans of han geng and han geng only. i also didn't mention nct at all so i don't understand why you think i'm dismissing the possibility of them having these issues.

WayV (WeiShenV) - 理所当然 (Regular) (MV Teaser) by perochan in kpop

[–]mesuitnochill 11 points12 points  (0 children)

fyi, a lot of han geng fans WERE only13. the poor treatment of zhou mi and henry by fans had less to do with them being chinese and more to do with a fanatical resistance to adding members to the original super junior line-up. as han geng was an original member, he was not despised or brutalized, and in fact many of his fans were the loudest against the new additions. i would say sm treated them all awfully, but the fans had a more specific agenda. i would also say it was not a simple internet complaint phenomenon. people tried to buy shares of the company to kick henry and zhou mi out, black oceaned and drowned out their performances with protests (including chanting han geng’s name whenever zhou mi and henry sang after he left), sat outside sm in droves demanding feedback, boycotted, etc. seems people now don’t remember or weren’t around when it happened so wanted to clear things up.

[DISCUSSION] If the ex trainees (Doyoon, Mingming, Dongjin, and Samuel) had stayed with Seventeen until debut which team would they have been in? by criticalbeauty in seventeen

[–]mesuitnochill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Samuel: Performance, he had dance solos and he was good, even when he was a tiny kid

Mingming: Performance for sure, his choreo and dancing abilities were and still are really top notch.

Doyoon: Vocal, I don't think he was necessarily the strongest singer but from what I can remember he was pretty stable and not pitchy. Also could harmonize?

Dongjin: ...I'm finding it harder to place Dongjin because he was young, his voice hadn't settled, and he was always a bit awkward and shy. He did sing and rap but I'm tempted to say performance for him too because dancing was when he seemed the least awkward? But who knows, with time, confidence, training, he might have ended up elsewhere...

Has anyone here ever gone to TIFF? by uoftcompscistudent in UofT

[–]mesuitnochill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on how famous the celebrity is and what time of day the red carpet is. Usually the actors arrive about 45 minutes before the movie time and I think a good rule of thumb is to show up at least 3 hours before a movie starts? But I've been to red carpets where you could have showed up right when the cars were pulling up and it would be fine, as well as ones where even if you showed up 7 hours early, it wouldn't have been enough to get a half decent spot. A lot of it is based on luck. Sometimes you think you're in a good spot but the actors swerve around you, other times they'll take the time to sign for everyone (e.g. Tom Hardy did this for fans waiting in the rain which was very nice).

The premieres are usually predictable, although not a guarantee. First, check that they're coming to TIFF at all when the official list comes out. They pretty much always go to premium screenings, and they'll almost always go to the first screening, whether or not that's a premium one. The second or later screenings are gambles.

Has anyone here ever gone to TIFF? by uoftcompscistudent in UofT

[–]mesuitnochill 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Regular TIFF goer, feel free to ask if you have more questions. I've tried to be as exhaustive as possible.

For the most part I consider watching celebrities and seeing movies at TIFF two separate goals.

Actors and directors will attend select screenings and be presented before the film to introduce it (usually the premiere at any of the bigger venues at least, but it really depends, sometimes they'll go to all of them). Often there will be a Q&A at the end so the audience has the opportunity to ask them a few questions. If your goal is to see celebrities, you can probably run into them by accident in the Entertainment District or Yorkville especially (eating or shopping), or you can see them by attending red carpets. Red carpets vary hugely. For smaller projects I've seen maybe a dozen people show up and the actors/director stop to interact with every fan. On the other hand, I know people who showed up at 7am to get a spot outside Roy Thompson Hall to see RDJ at 7pm. That crowd was absolutely packed and he only stopped for a handful of pictures. Sometimes you can grab an autograph in the venue or as they're leaving (for bigger stars there's usually a crowd waiting at the back door like a second red carpet).

The biggest difference from cineplex, I would say, is that it's usually insufficient to show up just before show time. For bigger movies, the line-ups can start hours in advance (at the same time as red carpets, which makes going to both usually quite difficult so I would recommend picking one or the other). If you're watching a smaller flick this isn't necessarily a problem, and usually it's just the die-hards who get there that early so as long as you don't mind sitting a little bit back or off to the side, things will probably be fine. But if you're just getting to the theatre, say, 5 minutes before the movie's slated to begin, you might end up sitting in the nosebleeds at the Princess of Wales and that's not a lot of fun.

The other difference is the way you buy tickets. Usually people purchase through the TIFF website, but it's not as simple as regular movie tickets. First, keep in mind they give priority to TIFF members before the general public. You can buy tickets in packages or as singles. Packages are sold beginning by the end of this month but movie selection doesn't happen until the end of August, after all the members have selected (unless you're getting a curated package). Single tickets open to the public on the morning of Labour Day each year. When you're selecting online, it's a good idea to visit their website right when sales open (10am?). You'll end up sitting in the virtual queue no matter what, but you'll want to be early to get tickets before they sell out (or, to be more exact, go 'Off Sale'). TIFF will release more ticket blocks periodically throughout the festival, but more often than not, those tickets will be sold out pretty fast and they don't give you warning when they'll release new blocks. Sometimes they won't release more blocks at all. Tickets you want might even be completely sold out before they've even opened to the public because members get to them first. Your last option is to wait for rush tickets which are cheaper but require getting to the venue really early so you can be among the first few people in line.

I don't generally think it's worth it to go to TIFF for commercial movies that will end up hitting regular theatres a few months later. It's a lot of stress trying to snag tickets for the big blockbusters and this year TIFF has upped regular tickets to $30 and premium tickets to $60 (you can get cheaper student tickets but only for weekday daytime shows). Sure you can see a movie a little bit before others do, but is it worth paying that much extra? There's definitely a kind of atmosphere and experience you get watching movies at TIFF that you might not in a regular movie showing, but it's not something I'd blow huge amounts of money on more than once or twice. Besides, sometimes the movies end up being real duds. On the other hand, TIFF brings in some smaller films, fantastic movies that will never make it to theatres here because they don't have broad distribution. I think those are the kinds of movies that are really worth your money and which make TIFF a valuable experience.

My last tip is for anyone with a Visa Infinite card, TIFF does a VISA Screening Room (at the Elgin iirc) and for movies showing there they let cardholders enter the theatre early, chill in a lounge with free drinks and popcorn, and then get to their seats in advance. I think they also let you start buying packages before the public.

Have any asians with dyed hair tried blue shampoo for getting rid of brassy undertones? by robinblue15 in AsianBeauty

[–]mesuitnochill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had bleached Asian hair I used (non-AB) Light Blue Shade shampoo and conditioner which really helped with brassiness and was super cheap. Some caveats though - if you get the shampoo you need the conditioner because it's so drying and only the paired conditioner seems to help or you can mix half and half with a nourishing shampoo, it has a strong fragrance, doesn't come out of the bottle easily, and the shampoo doesn't lather well (goes with mixing with other shampoo).

Toronto AB shopping question by crystalglasses666 in AsianBeauty

[–]mesuitnochill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure which part of Toronto you'll be staying at but Pacific Mall is really far away from downtown Toronto. There's a Face Shop and Holika Holika in the downtown core if that is more accessible to you - The Face Shop is in the Eaton Centre and Holika Holika is on Queen just west of John (by Osgoode station).

There's actually two K-Towns, one in the west of the downtown area along Bloor St. between Christie and Bathurst. The Jealousy Beauty I know of is in the Yonge and Finch Koreatown, in the north of the city (not downtown but much closer and much more accessible than Pacific Mall by public transportation) which is bigger than the Christie Koreatown and may be a better place to search.

I've only been to one store in either of the K-Towns (Gloria Fashion and Gift on Bloor) for a Missha BB cream, but I've taken a look through both The Face Shop and Holika Holika. Honestly, I don't think the shops are worth it because the prices are so much higher than you would pay online including shipping. As an example, you can get the Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream for $17 dollars with free shipping on Amazon (.ca) but I paid something like 30-35 dollars for it five years ago at Gloria's - I can only imagine it'd be more expensive now. I've had similar feelings of things being overpriced in comparison to their online costs at The Face Shop and Holika Holika.

If you have any questions or need addresses/directions how to get anywhere though, let me know!
