Lit MACLUNKY -- The Lit Forum Maclunky Thread, v3

Nice! Few things beat finding rarities in local shops. During the Free Comic Book Day, I came across a trade of The Yavin Vassilika! Tried to get it online some time ago, but it was too pricey, with postage and all.

 

Did a short film last year, reuploaded it the other day. If any of you guys are interested, feel free to check it out. It's a period piece set in the 1960s, very influenced by Mad Men, down to using a line from it. Always looking for feedback, particularly where writing and dialogue is concerned. This one turned out very well; I believe its production values are quite a bit above the average short film.

"I once talked to a table for over an hour"

...ok this is awesome.

Jokes aside, I think the writing was really good. Have you made a lot of films?

 

Can't wait to see the King of Wakanda on the big screen, hope he has a big role in the next Avengers movie too



Nice poster as well, though this one is an edit of the original:

 

Looks pretty good, when's it out again? Sometime next year?

 

First Marvel movie of 2018, February of next year.

 

I finally got to see Doctor Strange today, since it finally reached Netflix recently. Marvel continues to hit it out of the park, and I definitely looking forward to everything that is upcoming.

I also saw the first round of Sci-Fi summer premieres that I have been waiting on, Dark Matter and Wynonna Earp, and I am greatly anticipating Killjoys at the end of the month.

 

Haha, I really appreciate it. That guy was definitely not much of an actor, but he played pretty much the only character he could ever play, since he's like that in real life (on a side note, he's going crazy for real at the moment). The main guy though was a real professional.

Made a second one not long ago. It's starring the mother of this movie, basically a one woman movie about grief. The gist is she goes through her daily routine every day, hypnotically and emotionlessly doing a bunch of housekeeping stuff. The film grows more unsettling as it goes on, and we realize, of course, her family are dead. The previous housekeeping is undone as she destroys everything she's spent the film tidying, all so that she can give herself something to do the next day. Not a happy one. It should be done editing soon.

And working on a third one now. Hoping it will lead somewhere, but at this point only one way to find out.

 

I can't decide if this is one of the best or one of the worst teaser trailers I've ever seen. On the one hand it's really cool, on the other hand it might be too cool for a TEASER trailer - i.e. a trailer for a movie that's still not coming out for quite a while.

 

Adam West has passed on. He was my first Batman.

Mine too, definitely one of my most favorite takes on the Dark Knight.

 

Terrible to hear about Adam West's passing. I did a video with some friends about our memories of him if anyone wants to hear.

 

It's sad not terrible. He was an old man who'd lived a good life. That is more than most get but RIP Adam West

 

Book news! And it sounds great:

​

Finally, a new Sisko book! Looks to be the start of a new series too!

 

Yeah but it is still terrible to hear that someone died. You really wanna nitpick my wording when referring the the death of a human being? Like that is really a priority?

 

Something needs to change with my current situation. I received my Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems (i.e. programming and web development) in 2013 and my Master of Information Systems Management (i.e. management and project management) in 2015, but have had almost no luck finding a job, with or without my degrees, besides one month last October and November as a substitute para with my alma mater school district. My dad will soon be remarrying and has already bought a new house, while I am currently living in the house I grew up in which has now become even more of a temporary arrangement than it was before, but I kind of don't want to have to move in with them if at all possible. Other than a portfolio for positions related to my degrees, I have no idea what will help me get a job, because a portfolio shouldn't matter for positions not related to my degrees.

 

Applying for jobs compared to uni study is utterly counter-intuitive. There are no clear structures to navigate with clear outcomes. It may even come down to luck: The luck of looking for the right job at the right time, of being the best candidate on the day out of a group interviewed.

It's less about what you studied and far more the skills you obtained from it, coupled with a bit of luck.

 

I am now a bachelor in history, now comes the part were I have no idea what to do now.

 

A Bachelor in History, well that kind of explains why you ask so many questions. I actually considered studying history at a four year school, since it is my most favorite subject besides math and science, but I ultimately decided against it because there isn't a lot you can do with a history degree.

 

What you're both going to probably find is the job market doesn't care as much about your degree as the uni you studied at claimed it would.

 

They sure haven't so far, all they seem to care about is experience, which is really frustrating because how are supposed to get the experience then.

 

Indeed:

• You don't get a job without experience
• You don't get experience without a job

 

They expect people to work for free during their busy university study period with unpaid internships.

Then at the end they just say, we don't have any paid openings. Buh bye.

Perhaps an education degree and start teaching?

 

Oh, my uni did not make any such claim, I made the decision to waste time studding a happening in 1830 on the (then) Swedish colony S:t Barthélemy in the Carrabin by myself.

I think the original idea was that I wanted a title to go with all the study points I have collected when I did not have anything better going on.
