#labor day movies

[lgbtlunaverse]

I was watching a clip of the nutcracker on youtube and someone complained about the ballerina dancing as clara because "an adult playing a 12 year old is creepy" and guys. I think we need to shut down takes. No more takes until we figure out what's going on.

#what do you want??? CHILD LABOR? #profesional ballet is incredibly intense both mentally and physically #12 is a really young age to go en pointe in the first place let alone for HOURS on end every day #like i can understand this shit in like. tv or movies but on LIVE PERFORMANCE??? #on camera you are so close to the actor appearance matters a lot more and you can make more forgiving schedules for child actors #in ballet you CAN'T account for those schedules #and the dancer's... you know. DANCING matters way more than how young they look. you're sitting 50m away it DOESN'T MATTER #i'm not sure how to like... tag this beyond the rant #im not even sure if it was purity culture or just a pure hatred for adult women #because the commenter went to complain that the dancer (who was 24) 'looked in her 40s' #ballet #the nutcracker #the dancer was Sae Maeda for the record who is BRILLIANT

As a person who loves workers' rights, math, and the Fast & Furious movies, the "a company will pay you $1,000 to watch all the Fast & Furious movies" headline/gimmick from earlier this year will not leave my brain.

As a Labor Day treat, let's do the math:

The company will also pay $100 for expenses, but it's unclear whether that's a flat payment or if you have to submit for reimbursement.

We're going to leave it out of this calculation.

The ten Fast & Furious movies (main series only) have a total runtime of 20.7 hours.

That makes the hourly rate $48.31, which sounds great.

However, you aren't just watching the movies.

The point is to track the damages of the car crashes so they can estimate the insurance impact of the movies.

This is going to add some time.

Assuming you're only tracking the damage to cars, you're going to do a lot of pausing and rewinding and notetaking to make sure you catch everything and get the right car types.

It's unclear if this assignment only includes the main cars or the collateral damage.

The first movie is more straightforward and consolidated; later movies have significant amounts of collateral damage.

For easy math, we'll assume an average of 2 extra hours per movie.

Your total time is now 40.7 hours, which works out to an hourly rate of $24.57.

You have nearly halved your hourly rate.

Then there are the indirect costs.

You're a contractor and may have more complicated taxes.

The company running the gimmick claims the right to use your work for an article on their website.

Said company's entire reason for being is to generate ad revenue.

Not to mention how the rewinding and notetaking will impact your enjoyment of the movies.

Verdict, based on a love of workers' rights, math, and the Fast & Furious movies: Not worth it.

#Saterday of Labor Day weekend is a nothing day #did not do a thing #stared at a computer doing Jack #sometimes I had something productive pulled up that I was just not doing #sometimes I was watching random movie and tv show trailers on YouTube #also the elevators in by building were busted for a period of time today #and I live on the 15th floor #so like the rapunzel I am #I just sorta hung out in my tower #slav #slav every day #voltron

the only person who has the right to think will got buff is mike because we know he would hyperfixate in the smallest of changes when it comes to will. other than his dramatic gay little self, the rest of the world can clearly see that will (or rather, noah) just grew a little and became less of a child and more of a teen

SAY THAT 🗣️🗣️

#did ppl think he was going to be prepubescent forever.. #he grows up and finally weighs more than 115 pounds and suddenly ppl talk abt him like he's fabio or something i— #literally a mike moment :/ #you know who's actually buff and a character that would have noticeable muscles? lucas. #will does art and plays video games and watches tv/movies all day and hates labor. be serious.

personally im never gonna outright say about a piece of media "oh this universe doesnt need any more stories told" for a lot of reasons but i do absolutely think a lotta ppl in charge of getting the Stories Told are dogshit at choosing which ones to tell. like yes there is sooo much to do with star wars but they always wanna do the jedi and not some random ass bullshit that could be really fun like zooming in on some "nobody" like a space janitor at a space restaurant in a story that has nothing to do with the resistance or the empire and is just fucking "heres life for this random schmuck in the star wars universe"

okay honestly i think you could sell me a story from fucking any franchise thats just "here is a story about this random fuck and it has literally fucking nothing to do with the main plotline besides being in the same universe" bc so long as its done fucking WELL thats just. so fucking good. but noooo they always gotta do prequels and sequels and reintroduce fan favorites and all that fucking bullshit

...but also idk maybe im just a weirdo who loves minutiae like. the more fucking tiny and random the details you pull from the more im into it. bonus points if you also bring the logistics and drudgery of the universe into it.

#buzzy #this was inspired by a tweet about how the nightmare nefore christmas universe doesnt need any more stories and #okay henry sellick im not sure i want a prequel or a sequel but you could ABSOLUTELY sell me on some bullshit w like #the other holidays #like. what the fuck is going on in arbor day land. #okay NMBC sequel idea: halloweentown only appears for like 7 seconds and the rest of the story is #spent discussing a long held blood fued between arbor day town and labor day town #jack skellington does NOT appear but theres a cameo of the doctor bitch for some reason #make a fucking Holiday Cinematic Universe where every one has a wildly varying tone and genre #ones a court proceedural ones a rom com ones a tragedy ones a dodgeball movie #and none of them interact w the others beyond like 5 secojds in the intro #cmon it would be fun

i think the reason a lot of people find practical fx charming, even when they're obviously fake, while finding aged cgi just bad

is that it's a lot easier to have an idea of how much work went into the practical fx even if you don't have experience with it. while for cgi it's just "??? press a button... alien come out?"

so instead of seeing the effort and work that went into making older cgi, you just see that it looks wrong, and thats that

#did you know that for the earliest 3d computer models #the software was able to calculate the image.... but it wasnt able to calculate an image in real time of course #so what they did. is they sculpted the model they wanted to have #drew a wireframe on it irl. calculated the coordinates of every point in space #and entered those coordinates manually into the computer #that's way in the early days of course but since its physical instead of clacking on a keyboard i think its illustrates the effort that #goes into these things even if the outcome is just a smooth one-color teapot #also yes cgi isnt unionized but additionally cgi is v easily shipped overseas to cheap labor while practical fx by their nature have to be #done on site #the movie studio will outsource cgi to a cgi studio; but they might in turn outsource parts to another cheaper cgi studio #iirc the jobs are offered to the lowest bidder so its a race to the bottom as to which studio can get away with the cheapest effects #and the most exploited workers #before going bankrupt 👍 #all of which is to say... old cgi is charming too #i cant find out if im right on the following because ''MIB cgi' only gives ads for the recent reboot but id put money on it #that part of the reason the villain is a big chitonous bug is that hard unmoving shiny parts #looked the most lifelike in cgi. also why that chase jumps from day to night. its not just more dramatic its easier #cause youve got control over the lights direction and can use the shadows to hide imperfections #as just an example of some of the considerations that go into cgi #joos yaps

someone said 'movies have gotten really lazy about the visual part of the medium and are basically just audio dramas' and i would extremely disagree because the audio also fucking sucks.

#sound ppl talk all the time about not being respected on set and the lack of proper mic-ing #and like every other day theres a new thread abt how its impossible to watch anything w/o CC cause dialogue is mixed so badly #id argue that visuals are still. considered the most important thing in films its not 'laziness' or not caring about visuals in specific #the problem is that big studios are allaround uhhh cheap. and overworking their laborers. #and trying to maximize profits on Event Movies rather than focusing on the actual craft of making something good. #so literally every aspect of filmmaking is being tossed to the side except for whatever they need to do to make money. #(which increasingly seems to be marketing gimmicks and buying big name stars. thats the only thing they arent lazy about) #avpost

I am snuggling my hen, Eunice and watching an old western on tv with the hubs. Eunice is very sick. I honestly will be surprised if she pulls through. I am trying all that seems reasonable to help her 💛

my arm hurty and my nose pressy but almost $2k later my tattoo is finished teehee :3

#Ravage.txt #dl #i’ve been wanting this specific one for a good 3-4 years now so it’s bizarre to me that it’s. done. it’s all finished. i have it now #cant wait for the saniderm to come off i hope the yellow looks good on my skin tone 🙏🙏 highkey bled a lot right below my collarbone (and #that’s just what i noticed when i wasn’t reading fanfic) so it was really hard to see how the bit of color looked with the ever-present #ketchup and mustard (ink smear) combo. fingers fucking crossed it looks good bc that was three hours and i approved the bottle lmao #in my defense it looked good!!! great even!!! god i hope i don’t need to get it touched up/redone in the end ugh even more money #oh em gee this tag is so fitting when i typed ‘anyway’ #anyway bye i’m missing my favorite scene (blackout absolutely wrecking a base’s shit) #<- like yes i AM missing my favorite scene. granted it’s on purpose bc i’m going to bed i’m too tired to finish the movie but STILL #blowing a kiss to my action figure of blackout on my desk love u king one day i’ll get a copy so u can be in both modes at once #i haven’t even tried to transform him or megs bc i threw out the instructions for one on accident and lost the other </3 + they were expensy #af. and i like them in robot mode they’re so cool i’m so glad dad got me into collecting. i need r.otf a.rcee and 2007 b.arricade now frfr #i found them already but it’s like 30 or 40 bucks plus whatever shipping is and i both spent $500 on my tat today AND i’m saving for art #comms so like :/ blegh. BUT two weeks from now i may get a brief housesitting gig which will hopefully pay pretty well considering the labor #so who knows maybe i’ll get them! i love 2007 b.arricade honestly it’d be great to have him. and a.rcee is easily one of my favs as my #collection demonstrates (ULTIMATE fav is r.ipclaw). anyway night night my allergy med is working slightly so i’ll be able to actually sleep

So I was just watching a few clips of Batman: Under The Red Hood before I go to bed but I noticed something unusual about Black Mask - specifically the men he surrounds himself with. Almost all of them are considerably taller and bulkier than he is with the exception of the blond youth who stands around the same height as him! Roman definitely projects power this way, employing larger, more physically imposing men to act on his behalf while lowkey terrorizing them to make sure they know their place.

#( 💀 ♮ IMMACULATE INTERESTS ♮ | musings ) #( 💀 ♮ UNMASKED MALICE ♮ | headcanons ) #I was wiped out after my 2nd day #Pretty much dead on my feet with physically intensive labor #I feel good but very sore lol #So not much focus on writing right now or even the next few days if this is what I'm doing throughout August/September #I haven't watched this whole movie yet but it stood out to me and seems like something Roman would do #There is NOTICABLE height difference between him and his men #They don't do shit when he punches them in the face #I fucking lost it watching him wreck them because he was pissy
