What's good everyone?
I'm officially tech'd out for the next couple years bahahaah. 🤣 Here's my new PC and setup! Super pleased. Everything is running smooth and fast. I also got my internet uploading speeds fixed, finally. So I'm back to 160mpbs instead of 8-20. 😀 All of this together will help so much with reactions. Thanks for your patience over the past many days as I've been doing all this.
For those who missed my message in the Community Chat, I am copyright checking the Kung Fu Panda and Ratatouille edits, while finishing/checking the last Hawkeye edit in between. Those are priority #1 for me because of my time off next week. I want to make sure public videos are good to go. Then I will start sharing watchalongs here!
I also want to post a movie poll for you to vote on. Does anyone have any fun poll ideas?
Cheers! Thank you for everything. ❤️
I was also thinking of the person who said "Close, But No Cigar." Alternate idea for that name would be a poll of stuff that came in second place on past polls.
Would also welcome a poll of a few movies you don't think are primed to win polls but you want to watch, or a pre-1970s poll to help those films that struggle with comparative obscurity or recency bias.

I just had another poll idea. What about Kaiielle’s Favorite Reactors? You have a poll of the highest viewed reactions from your favorite reacting peers that you have never seen. IDK. Just a thought that popped into my head during my workday.

They may have given that advice for you for specific reasons! Office ergonomics always said your eyes line up with top of the monitor, your monitor is an arm length away from you, and so you create like a "box" with your arms at 90° angle and back straight. I try my best to follow this when I'm editing anyway. Just watching something, I definitely slouch a bit and sit further away from the monitor.

top of the monitor? That’s interesting. I’m going by what my eye doctor and physiotherapist both told me reduces eye and neck strain the most. But like… who really knows. Either way it’s a clean set up and I’m excited for you.

Out of curiosity, I just checked where my eye level is whether I'm sitting or standing and it lines up just below the top of this new monitor. The top of my other monitor was probably at my lower lip in comparison. Probably why this feels so much better already!

My old monitor stand had my monitor quite low. You can tell if you watch any of my reactions. Especially when I looked down at subtitles. This height works really well for me so far and if I feel after some time that it's too high, I can mount it. Also, your eyes should be at the level of the *top* of the monitor, not the middle. At least that is what my annual health and safety course taught me over a whole decade working in corporate. 😂 Though that was never quite right for me anyway.

how high do you sit? your eyes should naturally fall slightly above the middle of the main monitor. I’m tall and that looks like it’d hurt my neck… Love the set up, but that height feels like a lot.

I just started watching Mr Robot for the first time this week. Inspirations for it got my attention, season one is so far, so good.

Well, you've already heard my idea about the inspirations for "Mr. Robot" listed on Letterboxd. You could do a high school poll (10 Things I Hate About You, Eighth Grade, Election, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Heathers), or a director-specific poll (I'd love a Wes Anderson poll: Bottle Rocket, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou, The Royal Tenenbaums, Rushmore). Am I leaving obvious stuff off these lists so only a movie I want to watch will win? Well, uh,
Another idea would be a "second chance" poll, with a selection of movies by filmmakers or actors you haven't liked in the past (I'm still hoping for Jackie Brown sometime soon). Another route to that could be adaptations of books, although I suppose that depends on the angle from which that would be appealing to you: read the book, haven't read the book, want to read the book, or your investment in the book isn't important at all.
Also, there's Pride Month coming up but that's not for a couple of months.
I also had a great idea for a poll with just my personal favorite movies on it...

Where the main character comes close to achieving their goal but doesn't. I guess there's no way to really do that poll without spoiling those movies for yourself so.... Might not be doable 😂

Hmm. Poll ideas….Genre-Bending Poll. Most requested movies from various genres. Then watch the loser of the poll…😈
