I'll give you all the mattress lowdown as far as I know it.

My store we sold mostly our own store brand which was made locally, and then a couple other random sealy, simmons, certa whatever. Most of the stuff that wasn't our store brand was Tempurpedic. So everyday we put out balloons and signs that say sales 25% off whatever, but that's all bullshit of course. With Tempurpedic, the price is fixed, we have to sell it for whatever the price is, but we can throw in extra incentives like free pillows or free whatever. But with the other mattresses and our store brand we can go as low basically as 20% margin which is considered our employee discount. So basically 20% would almost not even be a sale really, but that's about as low as you can go if you're desperate for a sale. So I would say the trick is, as a customer, to be polite and try to press on the price as much as you can without being rude. I've seen sales guys walk away from sales because they got pissed off at the customers haggling them. So it's really that sweet spot of negotiation just like it is from the sales guys perspective.

Personally I think our local store brand was better maybe. We sold natural rubber latex mattresses of various firmness and like I said, you can get it marked down significantly if you play your cards right.

I just sleep on the floor on futon like a big weeb

Can someone sum up the Lindy video? How did ppl used to sleep? I'm in bed next to my partner and don't have earbuds and don't want to wake them.

Pls accept this Soviet shilling as payment.

I spent about $2500 on my bed when I moved in, because I'm a tallboi and beds that long are expensive. worth it

the same way people can when they're $500k in debt on their house or student loans lol. the bank feels that they have enough assets (either directly financial or more like earning potential) that they'll likely get their money back.

of course other times it doesn't work and the company goes down in a horrible inferno like this video about nortel i watched recently

>>37654
by being an industry titan with a lot of resources that can be used to promise they'll pay it off. it's not like that's the net value, just the gross debts. Their net valuation is about $25 billion in the black.

no one wants capeshit anymore
even the mouthbreathing middle class masses have a limit at some point

I think it's also the title, 'The Marvels' sounds so dumb and gay.

Like people are invested in the heroes they already know when it's just a grab-bag of generic shit like this, no.

It doesn't help that the movies just reuse stories from 10 year old comic books only worse.

>1. economic pressures towards short form content
Eh?
>2. Even just on the technical/logistical side of things, it takes WAY MORE than just good video to competently make a movie. Just for example, if you’re just using your phone’s mic to capture audio, be prepared to have the actors overdub EVERY line. Advances in consumer technology are making filmmaking cheaper, but there’s still a lot that goes into it, and not everybody is gonna have the time or money for making even a low budget indie movie.
Well, yeah, there's always hassle. Learning to deal with it is a big part of filmmaking.

Oh yeah, I also looked around on AliExpress and there's also a whole bunch of clip-on zoom and anamorphic lenses that you can attach to smartphones

lol no. why do you believe everything you hear?

It's got a cute old-school boxy aesthetic to it
Anyhow, a cheap secondhand HD DSLR from Ebay? I just wanted to make a point how affordable it is now

Man it's a shame this thread never took off.

Yugoslavia is famous for Westerns, Soviet Union not so much. Soviets are better known for sci-fi.

Solaris 1972

>Soviet Union not so much
I grew up on Soviet "Westerns" so that's only true for people in the West

I grew up on Yugoslav westerns (partisan films). They were also very popular in China, "Valter" is a household name over there.

I've watched Reds and Baader Meinhof Complex and Judas and the Black Messiah
All of them seemed mediocre artistically and cowardly centrist ideologically

>>37482
Reds isn't even really about politics, it's just a really long romantic melodrama

always hated that translation. "Nice Villages Burn Nicely" is a better translation, because the word "lijepo" means both pretty and nice in serbo-croatian.

Not even the foremost scholars in the field know what conditions give rise to consciousness and neither do you.

This is what bad education has done to this country.

Get off your high horse and read a fucking book yourself, or better yet learn reading comprehension, you strawmanning smart ass.

Anyone seen this? I'm reading the book about Showgirls by Adam Nayman, and apparently he really liked this one.

These are extremely cool and all but these are posters, not political cartoons… right?

>>21173
They're technically both since their messages are political.

I got a bunch of them from all over the world, and a lot of american ones that are decently old.

yeah pretty much
post what you've got here

sneed

spectacle moment

Is that TV/Movie, or TV Movie?

How about film-length youtube videos like The Haircut?

Watch Showgirls. Jacques Rivette considered it Paul Verhoeven's best film about America. I agree with him.

Youtuber Quinton Reviews made a roughly 36 hours long iCarly cinematic multiverse video essay/review/recap, nothing of value but fun as a filler noise for background. He will likely do even more videos since iCarly, Victorious, sam and cat and Fred are only things he has done videos about and thats barely the half of nickelodeons shows that are in the same multiverse. I am not proud of the fact that I have watched these videos at least twice.

there can't be a "film about [x country]"
that's just an unrealistic claim
