Actors used to be on the hook for overdub voice work after shooting wrapped. I don’t know if that’s still the case.
Honestly, I’m more concerned about high budget movies where I can’t understand a fucking word. I know there have been many articles and YouTube videos on the subject, but there’s really no excuse for that nonsense.
Some real “not the onion” energy.
Motorcycles I can kind of understand. Some people believe that making their cycle loud makes it more “visible” to other drivers, helping to prevent accidents. I don’t think there’s been any studies to prove this, but I can understand why people buy into it.
So glad I don’t use Windows anymore. Microsoft has lost the plot.
This isn’t going to end the studio system. What nonsense. Most studios don’t do anything with their back catalog. Just ask Zaslav, who insists on taking everything off streaming because he’s too cheap to pay residuals.
A lot of these brands used to mean quality merchandise that lasted, which is why they were so expensive. But after the conglomerates get ahold of them, it becomes commodity crap with a recognizable label slapped on it. It doesn’t help when the brand starts to stratify (like Izod) selling different levels of quality at different price points.
You don’t like tapas?
True, but in many cases the product is graded by quality. And the low quality graded product goes in the more generic labeled packaging. This doesn’t matter for something like flour or baking soda, but open a can of green beans and compare.
Stores like Trader Joe’s differ from this by specializing in rebranding overstock or by ordering additional run instead of buying cast offs. So you’ll often get goood quality from their store brand merchandise.
Fondant isn’t icing and is cheating when making a cake. It also tastes gross.
I’ve had more than one good boss that did these things:
Encouraged me to seek other opportunities in the company when higher positions opened up. He/she was good at helping team members find positions that matched their talents.
Didn’t micromanage, but instead hired capable people and trusted them to do their jobs.
Shielded team members from internal nonsense and politics so that we could concentrate on our jobs. It was always “If another manager has a problem with you, tell them to come talk to me.”
Good managers also encourage their team to learn new skills and hone their existing ones. Never stop learning. Even if that learning is just how to navigate the system to get things done.
Not sure how this reclaims pocket space. You’re just trading width/height for thickness.
Sell it to whom? I’d rather they have to spin it back off into its own company.
Same with WhatsApp. They should never have been allowed to buy either.
Doesn’t bother me. You can always block them individually like users if they are cluttering up your feed.
Hugs are a wonderful thing. I hope you have somebody in your life who gives them to you now.
Fun movie. Very 80s “new wave” feeling about it. Also the lead goes on to have a supporting role in Star Trek Next Generation Deep Space Nine!
It’s too bad the zombie tv universe is flooded at this point. I’m hoping in ten or twenty years we get a premium streaming channel anthology show based on the stories in this book. The movie they made from it had so little to do with the novel.
Murderbot series is a mixed bag. Some of the books are great fun. Others read like filler to me. Wondering what you think about casting of Alexander Skarsgård in the upcoming tv series? Personally I think he’s way too old for the part.
I’m glad you enjoyed it. I think I must be one if the few people on the planet who didn’t care for it.
This seems like more of a trailer than a teaser. I’m not complaining. I’m actually unimpressed by “teaser trailers” that are just a logo or some words on the screen. It’s nice to see some actual scenes from the movie for a change.
