John-Charles Holmes

I majored in communication and minored in cinema. It was drilled into my head over four years that documentaries are persuasive tools with a point of view and cannot be objective just on the grounds that our perspective is whatever the director points their camera at and *chooses* to show us

Never thought about it this way but feels like another strong argument for why we need to pay executives less. One year's pay for some of these guys would last any of us a lifetime, why bother being good at your job when you have nothing to lose?

At a certain point, work isn't work for these people, it's an income producing hobby. That's just so at odds with workers who a) are invested in having income + benefits and b) actually care about their work beyond it being a hobby investment.

OH MY GOD???

We went to the Pokemon Fossil Exhibit at the Field Museum yesterday and it was genuinely awesome. Big fan of how its half Pokemon art pieces and half real world fossils for comparison. I'm far from the biggest Pokemon fan and I had a blast. A must see if you're able to see it

When my teammate from taiko texts me at midnight that she's just gotten out of a screening of You Can See Everything

Watched the first episode of Crystal Lake. I'm gonna stick with it but I also don't know what to make of it. It's kinda doing a Breaking Bad... Stranger Things thing? Okay sure, I guess

I'm preparing myself tho for a super dumb reveal of what Jason's whole *thing* is but hey at least we're not Surf Dracula-ing it

I've been looking for this track for years and I literally do not think anyone ever put it anywhere but in this trailer

Haven't had the energy to start Crystal Lake yet, esp seeing that episodes are an hour long. I will not hesitate to just put on another episode of 90210 of the same length, however

a lot of the stuff people keep pointing to as being emblematic of an upcoming console crash i've generally seen as sensationalization, but nothing has actually felt more like a real albatross than the threat of ~$2k hardware

A jobs a job, man. Anything that keeps people employed full time and hones their skills for that dream project once it comes around. Large mid-tier show orders honestly helped to make good shows even better imho

I was talking about this w some friends the other night when someone was asking why shows like Seven Havens feels rougher than TLA and I pointed out the people who made TLA had like 10+ years of consistent industry experience on other shows. How does anyone get that experience now?

Still really enjoying this DLC inbetween other tasks/responsibilities. It's nice little slice of what works in the main game without the 30-40 hours investment to return
