Quick thing:   I am not going to be around for a bit. Non-Board Personal issues, and I need some time. I will get the emojis up for next weekend, and run the Cas of the Cas Games (Sign Up For Them! Play the Change). If you need anything big, PM me. Otherwise @XXR You Ok Annie and @ZeeSoh and @Eric Crowe got this covered.

MODERATION:   Since we have like 3500 MCU threads, I’m just gonna post this here in hopes that everyone sees it, so that I don’t have to post it like 3500 times individually and spam all the threads:   When you’re talking about the MCU, please make sure that you’re talking specifically about that title in that thread. I.e; Dr Strange Thread is for Dr Strange.    And if you want to reference any other property, especially if it isn’t out yet, please use the spoiler t

The question is which AL team will they lose to this year. My money is on the Stros, Sox or Yanks 

Dodgers are doing a tour of the AL divisions.  They've already lost to the West and East, so I reckon it's Cleveland's turn this time.

The strollers are very dangerous 

In all my years of visiting the parks (including the last time the week after Thanksgiving 2017) I have never encountered someone with strollers carrying a half dozen kids who didn't cause a scene pushing them around to get places.

I'll turn 30 in 2 years and still haven't found myself. I don't know what to do with my life. I dropped out of college to work in the family company but I hate it and I hate my hometown.

 

I could take my savings and next year go pursue my dream of becoming a screenwriter at the risk of running out of money without achieving anything, having to come back to my town, or I could just stay for another decade working hard and taking over the family company to be rich in my 40s and then do whatever I want.

 

I just wish I cared about this 10 years ago. I have no more time to make mistakes. You young people, care about your future. (P.S.: don't blame me, my parents should have given me guidance...)

Whatever you end up choosing to do, you have more time than you think. Everyone always talks about the young successes, but there are plenty of older ones as well. It’s also easy to say “find a job doing something you love”, but honestly sometimes that’s not the answer; sometimes it’s better to have a solid job that gives some financial stability and lets you pursue a hobby (or hobbies) that bring you joy. 

 

If you want to be a screenwriter, I think it’s imperative that you write regularly (whether a set amount of time daily, or giving yourself a weekly goal, or whatever). The only way to get good is just to grind through it.

 

Where do you see yourself in five years? Where would you like to be? Envision that, and then work backward: what goals do you need to have reached in four years? In three? ...and so on. The fun thing is, you get to choose all this, and having a choice is a great beginning.

I was flicking through the movie channels and Two Hands was on. It’s roughly 20 years since it was made. 

 

The editor, Lee Evans, would go on to be the editor of choice for Christopher Nolan. 

 

Also, in a previous employment role I met Rose Byrne a number of times.

Ahh, no matter what they do, they will always lose based on the competition from the Femme Fatale. Plus, SIC is gonna reboot its programming in a lot of ways too and they might come out even stronger than they are at the moment. But yeah, they need a refreshener asap. Recently, they dropped an interview saying that they've basically been shitting the bed with the programming on purpose just so they lose stock/money value more quickly and get sold off to a rich parent company more easily as a result :rofl:

I have read this. I honestly don't know what to believe anymore.

RIP Agnès Varda. Was and is a treasure. Marathoned most of her filmography just a few months ago for the first time and man this hits hard. Her level of curiosity and generosity towards the world is something I can only hope to one day come close to.

With some shame, I've missed the boat on her work to this point. Gonna start rectifying that.

Oh my God, I didn't expect this to happen at all. 

 

She made some of the most human French Wave films and Vagabond is my favourite film from the movement. So sad to see her go.

She just finished making a documentary didn't she? 

Yeah it premiered in Berlin just last month. Nice to know there's still one last film to look forward to. (And I still have a few older ones to catch up with.)
