On another topic, why has no one yet actually made a game called Bonestorm? Being someone who does not particularly want to go to Hell, I'd have to buy it.

Yo, Dickeye, I've worked customer service for the last 12 years. It sucks. My particular store has a reputation nationally for having some of the most difficult customers. I've always found it helps to remember that they're not really mad at you, you're just the thing that's in front of them when they're mad. Just put up a wall between you and them and don't let any of it actually affect you. It's really easy to become a vector for stress and it always, always, makes the situation worse.

At my job, I don't deal with customers, ever, because it's an online business. My bosses, who own the company, deal with all the returns and customer complaints and stuff, and they can be confrontational, childish, and douchey about it and there's nobody to reprimand them, it's pretty funny.

I just saw Stormy Weather and it is crazy because Bill Robinson was like 70 when he made it and looks maybe 40 and does incredible dance moves the whole movie and then died five years later. Also Lena Horne plays his wife and is like 25. Half the movie takes place before she would have even been born, and the age difference between her and Bojangles is greater than her age at the time they made the movie.

Hbomberguy posted:For my final documentary piece I was given a very arty professor type. The kind who thought koyaanisqatsi wasn't pure art enough and philip glass was too mainstream, and made one of the required viewings a two hour-long documentary called "R.R.", which was just still shots of trains going by. I feel ya man. At my school you could go two routes: -Take the Practicum course, where the school gives you $5K and studio time, but you're handed a 10-page script written by a clown car of Screenwriting 2 students, all of your production and post crew is assigned to you (and they act at the creative whims of their instructors) and the head of the Practicum dept can gently caress with your poo poo because "real world problems can happen at any time" -Hack it on your own, have complete creative control, only your editor is assigned to you, but no guaranteed screenings by the school. I took the latter route. In my overeagerness to graduate I booked myself a semester where I would be producing my thesis film on my lonesome and a double-credit Comedy Directing class where I'd be producing four other shorts. That's not as bad as it sounds, the 4 shorts were spaced over 3 months, only 30 seconds-4 minutes long, and I was given studio time for them. But the final short for that class was its own small beast. So Big Thesis is the hacking it on your own route to make a 10-minute short, Little Thesis is the 3-5 minute Comedy Directing final. Day comes to shoot Little Thesis, and I am kicked out of my own allotted studio time. Why? -Practicum needs to build their set for tomorrow. They're only using half the space. -They need to be able to talk amongst each other. Can I use the smaller studio for lighting students? -No, a lighting student might want to use it. This fucks over me and the other guy scheduled to shoot that day. We complain to Tom, who is in charge of studio time and second-in-command on Practicum. He grants us a makeup time: the night before Thanksgiving. Between the two drectors we have a crew of 5 people. The other guy hacks his script down to its bones and pulls something off. I couldn't get my actresses in, so my script is kaput. Instead I scrobble together a parody of this really terrible Practicum film called 'Waiting for the Coroner' that the school proudly used as a poster boy for some ill-conceived reason. I basically just had two of the crewmembers overact the awful dialogue, threw in some dramatic zooms of the film's infamous ticking clock, etc. An easy backup plan, but of course I'm kicked out the second the building officially closes and have like, a minute's worth of footage. So I complain again to Tom. My teacher complains to Tom. The teacher overseeing my Big Thesis has a chat with Tom. Tom tells me he'll grant me some more studio time, but ONLY because he saw a rough cut of my Big Thesis and really liked it. A few days later I get a call at work telling me my new scheduled studio time. It's in 6 loving hours. Crew is at least guaranteed and my camera guy, Miles, is gonna be in that evening. I frantically call my actresses: unavailable. The original script's kaput again. So I'm sitting on this dumb minute long parody film called "Waiting for the Mortician-er' and I'm gonna have 3 hours to turn it into something, anything, funny. So I make it into this thing where said film's production gets sabotaged by a bunch of red tape bullshit. I basically turned in this big ol' gently caress You to the school. The teacher gave me an A.

Hell, some huge American companies go a step further and arrange things so that most of their wage slave workers aren't "employees" per se, merely 'contractors,' so on top of being fireable at will they get zero benefits.

It's more fun for employees when the management declares a switch from hourly plus to commission to pure commission, then decides they're going to cut your budget to a tenth. After firing their entire graphic design staff because no one would agree to a signed contract that they wouldn't freelance during and for two years after end of employment.

I just watched Schindler's List no more than 30 minutes ago. This is both very relevant, and very horrifying. (Even though I've seen that Pony thing like a thousand times already. It's my go to picture for explaining Bronies)

Nothing tops when Madoka Magicka implied that Anne Frank escaped the camps by signing a contract with an alien cat and turning herself into a magical anime girl, unknowingly dooming herself regardless.

Schindler's List is a really great movie. But it's a movie that if I start, I have to finish no matter what, or I'm loving destroyed all day. The ending scene where he says "If I just didn't buy so much, I could've saved more people!" is one of my favorite cinematic moments. It's inspiriting, heartbreaking, and just so perfectly preformed. That Spielberg is a master I tells ya.
