RIP Tay Keith, whose generational run transformed a whole genre – stripping down, polishing, and modernizing classic Memphis tear-the-club up crunk without leaning on nostalgia or sacrificing any rawness. A master of negative space & nuclear 808s. An all-time producer tag too.
@joshuarolson@LukeBarnett The risk may not be $750K, or as much as a director devoting years of their life, but I’d imagine the reward is often lower too.
@joshuarolson@LukeBarnett Dont think it’s the same type of risk as the investor, but generally, there’s risk involved. With less than normal pay, you’re risking health, wear & tear on vehicle, & just the opportunity costs of doing potentially more productive things.
Ppl really think movies & tv shows “center-frame” things nowadays for TikTok and reels lol. Like it’s not just as easy to cut vertical clips from things framed on the side. There’s even [non-generative] AI that’ll do it for you. It’s the closeups & horizontal action that’s hard!
I realized that when ppl say a lot of movies look flat & low-contrast, they’re really talking about being about to see detail & multiple stops into the shadows. Which is funny because it’s something alot of camera ppl point out as a positive of digital cinematography 🫤
Daveigh Chase has sadly passed away at the age of 35.
She was the voice of Lilo in ‘Lilo & Stitch’ & Chihiro in the English dub of ‘Spirited Away’.
It’s always funny to me when ppl use “Arkansas” as their stand-in for a *random* state in an argument. But I always wonder how ppl in Ohio feel when NYers use Ohio as their catch-all stand-in for a transplant homeland state lol

Don't worry, I'll include pictures so no one gets bored! 🧵
These taco trucks in Conway will setup shop right across the street from each other. I’ve seen atleast a couple instances of this. I don’t know if they’re trying to compete or if it’s the same family trying to corner the market lol
T.I. was taken off Young Buck's "Stomp" so close to the album dropping that they had to put stickers on the cover to say The Game was featured instead 🤣
Do you think a machine did that, or did someone turn up to the pressing plant one day and get handed a sheet of stickers?...
I remember a few weeks ago, I pulled up to a gas station, started pumping and realized every pump said “E15”. I looked around, gas station was packed and everybody was just pumping gas like it was normal. No stupid looks of confusion on their faces like mine.
Just a reminder: You may notice gas prices inching down a bit. They’re now increasing the level of ethanol they put into our gasoline from 10% to 15%. Started May 1. This is really bad for our cars and will cause damage to our car’s fuel system due to corrosion.
@Ruggs2Riches@TimDay1310388@maximusgrave You pay the crew something because that’s how you get a movie. You take care of them as best as you can because you know their career arc is more limited, successful movie or not.
@Ruggs2Riches@TimDay1310388@maximusgrave How would you even calculate what crew member owes what? So then the suggestion is they should have forgone pay for equity… which everyone knows is unlikely to come. So it’s unlikely you get a crew in the first place. Not a good one.
