The study surveyed 1,500 tweens, teens and young adults, ages 10-24,


From what demographic? UCLA area is not exactly drawing from a ton of diverse opinions.
Hockey has a couple things going that don’t work for it:

1. It is tough to get into as a kid, not just in the south but in much of the country. It’s expensive, requires ice instead of a field, etc. So people don’t know the rules and don’t have the interest.

2. Televised hockey is harder to follow because the puck is so small. For instance, I watched the Gold Medal Game with a couple of puckheads from the Northeast and their reaction to the winning goal was delayed by half a second because they couldn’t tell if we scored. I had thrown my hands up and cheered but they couldn’t tell we had won. As ragged on as the highlighted puck was back in the day, it did make the game easier to follow.
Home schooling seems really hard and takes a parent with patience and care and knowledge as well as kids who don’t treat their parents differently than they treat other adults.

Anyone who has coached their kid’s sports team knows what I’m talking about.

I’m sure it works out for some, but the kids I know who are around my kids’ ages are all giant assholes.

That probably has more to do with an attitude instilled in them by the parents teaching them than the kids being assholes innately, but nevertheless that’s my anecdote.

Another good one of these types of movies is Dan In Real Life.

A little less funny, a little more slice of life and tragedy, but still same vein.

Also Carrell.

Also really good.
Find something else for him to be competitive in. It starts with joy in the thing you do.

Teach him:

Poker
Piano
Chess
Running
Shooting
Robotics
Climbing
Writing
Filmmaking
Visual art

All of these things can be competitive as each of them have tournaments or showcases.

Stop forcing the big 3 or 4 sports and try other things. Hell, mathletes is a thing. And the point isn’t to be an athlete. The point is to learn working together with others, bettering yourself everyday, and coping with struggle and self-sacrifice.

Good luck to you and your boy.

Better than the gay torture porn in season one of Outlander that scarred me forever.

It’s an urban campus spread out all over the city.

The only person I ever met that went to school there was a store front designer who regretted going there as what she really wanted to do was visual art and she said she could have just learned it on YouTube and TikTok, and then taken a portfolio to a design studio.

But

I talked to her for like 20 minutes before a plane ride so, she may have been a kook.
Not to be that guy and it’s coming off as me stanning for this woman, but what does her divorcing her husband have to do with casting her in a movie?

Unless she is mentally unstable and can’t reliably be on set, who gives a shite?

Maybe she’s a shitty fricking person, but lots of shitty people get hired in Hollywood and across corporate America.

If you think she sucks as an actress, I don’t think I’ll disagree, but I just don’t understand the other nonsense.
Yeah that’s an insane amount to show in a trailer.

Any storyline where Decker isn’t human is trash.


2049 does not say Deckard is a replicant, so what’s your point?
Am I the only one that thinks she’s actually a good looking woman?

Whether the show is good or not is beside the point, but all of yall are really going to say Sophie Turner is unattractive or just that you need her to get a boob job because “she doesn’t match the source material?”
Why the frick would you not back in to a spot in a busy parking lot, whether with a Smart Car or with a truck?

Also, why do you care?

Even if you liked Blade Runner 2049 (I thought it was okay), you had to see he was the worst thing about it.


2049 was fricking awesome and Leto was fine in it. But I agree he hasn’t exactly been on a good run lately. He isn’t much of a leading man. His roles are usually better in support.

But he crushed Requiem and Dallas Buyers

Come on. We can say it. He was terrible. I love the original movie. I watched 100x as a kid. Its ok to admit that he was a terrible actor.


It was one of the reasons it was so lovable. It felt like a low budget, poorly acted, punching above its weight class, high concept action film.

Usually people hire out for these types of things because they can’t be bothered to do them. The amount they spend on the tradesman coming to the house is worth the time and aggravation of doing the job yourself.

But YouTube has already made most calls to HVAC, plumbers and other tradesmen obsolete. All that is needed is time and incentive.

Well, if you have nothing to do because AI took your job and you’re on the government dole because… AI took your job, you have time and you have to save money.
Or, and here’s a thought, we’re entering an actual recession because we printed $4-6T during Covid and never paid the fricking piper.
It’s awesome what it can do compared to what it used to do, but that is fricking awful compared to what a decent Hollywood movie is.

From script to editing, from lighting to acting, it is not that it is “soulless” as others have said (though it is), it’s that it is, as the kids say, “slop.” It is not creative. It is boring. It is without an understanding of art as it is simply reproducing things done by previous creators in a bad way. Art is not recreation. It is creation. And though art is the ability to hide one’s sources, it still takes the old and transforms it into the new, with a new vision and a new sensibility.

This is just putting shite in RENDR
