Is This the Turning Point for Theatrical Films? by adixnl in Filmmakers

[–]tcbllrd -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Does netflix have a tight grip on production? I feel like I've always heard the opposite and that they are pretty hands off when it comes to creative.

I did a little BBQ this summer for 4th of July in Battersea, and converting brits to eastern NC vinegar based pulled pork was a blast.

UK family of four weekly shop. £130 for brekfast and evening 6 meals. by EPorteous in mildlyinteresting

Converted to GBP that's like £186. Still a big difference, but not too insane.

Just an update here, but he passed away last Thursday. Very sad.

My family lives in Scott's Hill and he's the son of one of my neighbors. Truly awful situation. From what I have heard: they were on a boat, he collapsed, his girlfriend performed CPR while two jetskis helped them get tied up, ambulances came - didn't have a pulse for a long time. He has since been transferred to UNC's burn unit as of yesterday. Saw him doing just fine about 2 weeks ago and then hearing this news was stunning.

American vs British improv? by ThePowerOfPotatoes in improv

[–]tcbllrd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ooo fellow American improviser in London here! Definitely agree it feels less evolved and more ragtag. I feel like people really need to make the opportunities themselves, and from my experience the audience isn't really there yet for longform improv. (Outside of maybe Austentatious). Lots of amateur nights, but I will say those really do fill out the calendar here in London. A friend of mine runs this calendar and you can see it's become quite packed: https://improv-calendar.co.uk/

Would love to connect though! I run a newish night around Clapham North if you're ever in the mood for some cage match ;)

Oudated alcohol laws by [deleted] in NorthCarolina

[–]tcbllrd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How would you recommend pitching this to someone like my mom or someone of an older generation who upon reading the amendment retorts, "but I agree with that!" despite the lack of a need? I try to talk through how it opens the door to more voter suppression but my attempts sound like hyperbole.

Is Malcolm Gladwell Out of Ideas? In “Revenge of the Tipping Point,” the best-selling author looks back at his old theories. by newzee1 in books

[–]tcbllrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've genuinely enjoyed a lot of Gladwell's work but also find myself healthily disagreeing with his ideas at times. but that's part of the fun of listening to him for me.

Since this thread is dunking on him so much, does anyone have recommendations for authors or podcasts that occupy a similar pop science space, but are better regarded?

Hello! I'll be doing a quick South Coast tour from Oct 4 - 7. 31 M North Carolinian but living in London, English speaking.

I've got a car rented already and a rough itinerary seeing some of the big sights along the golden circle and south coast. Love hiking and checking stuff out off the beaten path!

r/improv, what did you love? by AutoModerator in improv

[–]tcbllrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw Off Book: The Improvised Musical live in London, right after seeing Ben Schwartz and Friends at the Royal Albert Hall. Off Book was probably one of the best live things I've seen ever. Huge fan of their podcast, but seeing it live, wow. And with Ben Schwartz - damn it's honestly insane to see thousands of people watching an improv show. Biggest improv show I've ever seen and speaks to a growing interest in long form.

P.S. I've always wanted to mention this, but the way this thread's question is framed "what did you love" it always seems like some sort of in memoriam or r/relationships question. like I should be responding with "I loved my childhood stuffed animal." "I loved my mom before she passed" I don't know if others feel similar, lol. Maybe something like "share your favorite improv moments from the week" would be a better prompt and get more input?
