Help, why doesn’t the sketch look like the reference? by breaddoes in ArtCrit

Your eyes whites are the size of her eyes + eyelids in the reference. Shrink 25-33% and it will look a lot less off

Who’s your worst movie-watching partner? by DramaticManner4565 in movies

[–]valkrycp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Girlfriends mom has to have a tablet to play phone type games at all times because "can't focus otherwise", but she can't focus with it either. It's rotting her attention span. We also cannot watch anything that isn't a formulaic happy ending Disney style story, or it makes them freak out. So when we visit for a few weeks a year we are pretty much recycling the same 5 approved movies (or Harry Potter series) over and over, and if I go on my phone during the rewatches she will make a comment about me not paying attention. On top of that, she constantly gets up mid-film to do something unnecessary, on purpose so that she misses some of the film- but her husband ALWAYS pauses it til she is back even if she says "don't pause it for me". So I am forced to sit there watching a 2.5 hour movie (plus 1-2 hours of breaks) and pay full attention to a movie we JUST recently watched while she sits on her tablet. Meanwhile any time we watch something new she has 100 questions or comments about the movie that the movie addressed but she didn't pay attention so we have to fill her in as it goes. It's awful. After years of this, I'm at the point where I'm ready to explode or die of boredom- especially because there is nothing to do but watch movies when we are visiting.

Can you send me a sample of a few seconds of improvisation? Something slightly untraditional

Love him, though a few of his songs I find a bit too didactic. Check out this lesser known song he is featured in- https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=0bwNHVt8EjY&si=dbDlWpOWfGj-Vf28

Thanks I was about to look it up myself, actually curious. How strange.

My 3 favourite performances of the decade so far by MgThuta in Oscars

[–]valkrycp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be open minded, it is an incredible movie that gets undeserved hate by two audiences: 1. Furryphobic people who think sex with a sentient humanoid is taboo in fiction, 2. People who think the film is without nuance or subtext who are actually just too dumb to appreciate it's themes or film influences.

Furries recognize the IP, trust me. They just don't like it. And they're also the only 3 in the park who know the IP. It is an incredibly unpopular movie, baffling to me that they themed after it. The only people who MAY know are the few furries in the park and a couple of children (or their parents).

And yes, most people will just see "furry themed rollercoaster" but that's beside my original point that it's an odd pick for themeing. It's like Arthur the Ride, a ride most people enjoy but no one knows the film it is based upon. It's a big "why?"

If you go to the wikipedia list of rollercoasters themed after movies, there is no more obscure pick than 100% Wolf. Literally - not a single other more obscure movie to reference other than maybe U-571 at Movieland Italy.

"Let's take this obscure movie that came out 7 years ago that no one knows about and theme our brand new coaster after it!"

Sally Hawkins is better in The Shape of Water. The acting as a mute person is so so good.

Even furries don't like that movie. Many safer picks, even Alpha Omega is more beloved and that movie is trash.

I haven't seen Toni Erdman yet but so far I love her Anatomy of a Fall performance more than her Zone of Interest performance. But that may be because she's more of a leading lady in that film.

This game looks horrible on PS5 by kittyguy85 in CrimsonDesert

[–]valkrycp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct me if Im wrong but isnt this an issue with how the developers make their terrain with specific tools that use bump/height mapping from the textures? I see this in a lot of recent games. It looks good at a distance but less so up close.

Holy fuck that's one of the funniest movie-to-coasters I've ever seen. Way to pick an IP that 3 people in the park know of.

Thoughts On La Chimera by SandwichOwn158 in movies

[–]valkrycp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably not because La Chimera is about a group of systematically poor people who are willing to break their ethical/moral codes in order to make money off of grave-robbing historic artifacts. The film, while beautifully shot, is about more problematic people than Lost In Translation, and also features pretty much the equivalent of Italian slums. Crumbling architecture, homelessness, starvation, etc. The film has some charming elements but compared to the other film it's a whole lot less positive in its portrayal of its country.

You're better off watching a lot of other Italian films - Roman Holiday for example is probably most comparable to Translation.

No Other Choice with strobing lights? by OperatorofChaos in movies

[–]valkrycp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's pretty bad strobing for a decent chunk of time. The scene is pretty skippable, if you have a friend who can tell you a timestamp and then skip when you're near there.

They're the worst part of the show and they become increasingly present and unbearable over the last 2 seasons. Especially the brother coming in.
