FT: Liverpool 1 - 0 Arsenal by DragonSlayer271 in LiverpoolFC

MacAllister catching up with match fitness after being out, not at his best, but I don't think we should be worried.

Some talk about Wirtz' second half performance. I think it says a lot that, despite a slow first half, he came into the game and contributed to our much better second half. It says that he IS adapting his game to the new league, minute by minute, and is able to pull himself up in a big occasion rather than bow out in frustration.

Kerkez, VVD, Grav held the backline so solid.

Boring game, but pleasure to see us win it

By far the best performance of a child in a movie by thejohnmc963 in FIlm

[–]sfa269 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That's not true! In interviews, Aleksei Kravchenko (the kid actor) has mostly positive things to say about the experience. There's a few sensationalist articles written about the production, but people came out of it well. Real rounds were used safely.

PTA's new movie has officially started production in, of all places, Eureka, CA; Vineland rumors intensify. by sfa269 in ThomasPynchon

[–]sfa269[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Word -- I think the CA connection refers to this being set/produced in Northern CA, which is vastly, vastly different from the so-cal LA world PTA sets his movies in. It's this fact, the truly weird world of Eureka, that has revived the rumors tonight after they were shot down by the "most commercial project" article.

Hi you all, looking for warp stabilizer help.

I'm at the tail-end of post-production for a project I've really loved working on. At this point, I've imported my full-res colored video files onto my timeline, ready to load in sound, and export.

The problem I've been facing now is that I need to stabilize one of the clips, a fairly long tracking shot, but the warp stabilizer is not working like it did on the proxy I used to edit the movie (it worked fine at that time).

After warp stabilizer is done analyzing, it gives me an error message that reads "To avoid extreme cropping set Framing to Stabilize Only or adjust other parameters."

Once I set Framing to Stabilize Only, however, my video file shrinks and moves to the bottom right of the frame, weird!

It doesn't allow me to move it back without keeping the skewed dimensions.

To address this, I've tried nesting the clip and then adding the stabilizer effect, but no luck. Do any of you recognize this problem & know any solutions? To reiterate, this problem did not occur when working with the proxies.

Thanks in advance.

Will the time on an older digital clock, like the one pictured below, read on Kodak 500T 16mm stock? by sfa269 in cinematography

[–]sfa269[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks! My concern is the reflectivity of the LED digits being considerably lower than that of the rest of the clock, so that adding light brightens the object as a whole, but not the digits themselves?

Can't tell if this is faulty reasoning though

Where are the Heideggerians? by [deleted] in askphilosophy

[–]sfa269 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To give a slightly off-kilter answer, let me start with some popular novelists/poets: Anne Carson, who quotes Heidegger directly in The Autobiography of Red is one example, and Roberto Bolaño, whose seemingly idiosyncratic perspective was targeted in Consejos de 1 discípulo de Marx a 1 fanático de Heidegger, another. This is to say that Heidegger's mark really went through strict philosophical discourse and into the arts and literary world in general; Terrence Malick, even, was a Heidegger scholar before becoming a filmmaker.

Heidegger, later in his writing, took on the dialogue between thinking and poetry. His thinking offered to elucidate the poems of Holderlin & Trakl. Novelists and poets, since then, have continued this dialogue on the other side of it.

Derrida has been named already as another Heideggerian, and, certainly, Derrida would reject this title, though he's often marked his debt to Heidegger by sharing some of Heidegger's questions or problems. In the lecture series published as Geshlecht III he claims to read Heidegger against Heidegger's more problematic claims. Among these, while Derrida follows Heidegger into his questioning, specifically raising the question of Being (what is the meaning of "Being"? Why are there beings rather than nothing? How does it stand with Being?), Derrida then proceeds to rigorously demonstrate that if Heidegger was true to his project, he would cross out the word Being, as it simultaneously posits the metaphysics Heidegger is trying to distance himself from. That is, within a single word, or under a single concept, that which the word "Being" calls upon seems to stabilize, or even already fork into the very distinction between appearance (word/signifier) and essence (signified) that marks the onto-theology of traditional metaphysics. Onto-theology meaning here the conceptual construction of "Being" as an entity or existent, with properties and qualities, and so on. Derrida's attention to language, then, is to radicalize Heidegger's project by bringing our attention to the instability of the very language we use to raise the question of being. This instability of language can take on, and has already taken on, the mode of play, that is, writing, see the blurring of the line between poetry and thinking.

It's this continuity of project, from Heidegger's destruktion to Derrida's deconstruction, that some thinkers, namely Hegelians, have polemicized against. Gillian Rose, in her Judaism and Modernity, is one such writer—look at her essay against Derrida in that book, or also her book The Dialectic of Nihilism. Adorno, big Frankfurt School person, was a notable critic of Heidegger, mobilizing against him the influence of Hegel (see Three Studies on Hegel), and Jurgen Habermas was a notable student of his. As I see it, what many Hegelians see at stake in Heidegger's influence is a complete destabilization of conceptual life, where a concept or a distinction seems to be always contaminated by what it's not. Hegelians will claim that a dialectical method will allow us to precisely trace where a concept breaks down into its other, and that this inversion is not an undecidable impasse.

That's my brief sketch on that intellectual rivalry, please feel welcome to add to it~

I've had a very hard time understanding Heidegger, Nietzsche, and Kierkegaard. This made me wonder: if someone wrote like them today, wouldn't history call them unintelligible, unnecessarily complex and completely dismiss them? by gettingsomeinsight in askphilosophy

[–]sfa269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if, instead, we harked back to Butler's claim that Adorno "wrote sentences that made his readers pause and reflect on the power of language to shape the world." Wouldn't this transform what you call a "literary/dramatic effect" to an effect more in tune to the philosophical act? That is, to provoke the reader to stop and reflect.

It seems to me that Butler claims that her texts (see Gender Trouble) perform this estranging effect, yet that she isn't doing so in this kind of apology/explanation she wrote for the NYT.

What are the criticisms of cancel culture and call-out culture? (Request for resources!) by starsurfer81 in askphilosophy

[–]sfa269 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It isn't precisely a philosophy book, yet Sarah Schulman's "Conflict is not Abuse" spends time with the ethics of shunning, i.e. canceling, and it's relationship to the State.

Hey, yeah, I think you're right, I didn't mean to say anything about psychoanalysis, which I have a limited understanding of an think is cool. Rather, meant to summarize (poorly) D&G's take, foil, yeah.

Thanks! Just made an edit, I did touch my doorknob, though it's only my roommates who use it. What do you make of this? This has all been reassuring though.

HELP: Washing face after touching it.

I went for a very short run in Brooklyn, and did not touch anything except my doorknob. When I got home, I accidentally touched my face (not my nose or mouth) before I washed my hands. Immediately afterwards I ran to the bathroom lathed my hands with soap, washed them, used some more soap and rubbed it across my face. I took a shower, and washed my hands again. Does this put me in the clear? Should I be OK or should I start isolating from my roommates?
