It's a site where you can search for a movie title and it'll give you a breakdown of swearing/nudity/violence/etc in that film (presumably for use by parents who don't want to be surprised by something questionable in a movie).
I have two apps, one online and one as a desktop app. When there is no internet connection, I want the desktop app to continue to work and save the data on SQLite for example.. but when the internet is back, it replays all the requests online. So it is in sync.
The catch is how to do it ?
Another issue... If the online one is changed how to reconcile the desktop version and the online version without clash ? How to manage inconsistency ?
This has been posted a million times but reddit has an awfull searching method so I can't find it. The site showed you 2 films, and asked which you preferred, if you didn't know one if the films you could reroll it. Then you chose one of the films and both are added to your database. You could reorder your films by saying which one you prefered and you could add a film you watch recently and it asked you if you preferred that one to a bunch of films you already added.
I feel like the first two movies stand alone as their own story. The first one being the intro to this world, and the second solidifying that harry is here to stay and will continue to thwart evil and learn magic and be aided by his friends. It ends with everyone cheering for hagrid in the great hall. The next movie is not only so different in tone in style, the characters themselves are almost completely different people. Harry was kind and quiet and kind of dorky. Hermione was a loud know it all who thrived in being the teachers pet type. Ron was lovably cowardly at times but very brave at others.
In the third movie, Harry is pretty much a walking ball of angst and indifference. There is no more joy and wonder at the magic world he has discovered even while at hogwarts, and he has lost the polite nature that gave him some heart. Hermione has gone through the biggest change imo, as she went from a girl with a bright, confident attitude and elation at her own cleverness, to a more shy and quiet girl who seems not very sure of herself and is more self conscious. And ron basically turned into a caricature of himself and is just cowardly all the time and even kind of whiny.
The biggest difference is between the three of them as a group though. When seeing harry again in the second movie, ron and hermione both have a lighthearted and wholesome greeting with him. In the third, ron and hermione are already fighting, even though at the end of year two they were still good pals and didn't ever fight like that. Everyone is wayyyy more solemn just automatically, before anything even kicks into gear in the story and everyone is just getting ready to go back to school. They all seem like they already have some big task weighing on them or some problem that's causing them to be on edge. I know the real answer is that its simply because there is a new director for this movie, so even though it is supposed to be the same story it is not going to be packaged and delivered the same by different directors. But the dissonance between the second and third movies is really hard to get over, almost feels like those characters from the first two movies had their story end and at the third movie we see a different reality in which everyone is a lot more macabre, and no one is amazed by hogwarts or magic anymore.
Similar to IMDB in case anyone wants or needs to track down a gun they've seen in a movie.
For Context: I'm an animation director starting his second short film as a director for a Peruvian animation studio. This is my second project to be awarded a grant by Peru's Ministry of Culture and the third project to be produced by the studio.
I feel our studio is starting to have enough experience to begin seriously looking for coproduction deals.
I've been starting to reach out for studios abroad (mainly Europe) through my personal network, as well as applying to workshops and pitching sessions to network.
However, I wished to know if there were databases or social media groups to meet up with studios looking for coproductions.
Any advice would help me a bunch! Thanks a lot!
I'm in my late 30s, and I often feel like my friends and I are productive at work but get little else done with our lives.
I'm always behind on the cooking, cleaning and yard work. I have hobbies but I engage with them maybe once a week, often less. When I talk to people who were adults in the '70s, '80s, even the '90s, it seems like they were working the same hours I do, but also managed to do stuff like build a house, restore a classic car, write short stories, teach themselves carpentry or plumbing or small engine repair (and all this without Youtube! With what, books? Talking to people??)
So I often wonder if social media / streaming content / video games have totally sapped what would otherwise be a productive attention span? Or is the current corporate and social climate fundamentally different somehow, in a way which drains our collective energy?
Anyway what I'd really like is some kind of rubric or schedule of what pre-internet adults did before/after work. How did you manage your side projects? Did it feel like a total grind? Did you genuinely enjoy your downtime? Or am I off base with this whole thing, and adults have always felt like this but just had different distractions (network TV, reading, etc.)?
