overview for Blaze

It's called movies as hopefully at some point in the future we'll have TV shows split, but as Lemmy still has a small community it makes sense to consolidate both types of content here

We are currently around 50k monthly active users. What do you think could lead to the next newcomers wave? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

A few ideas from the top of my head

Flairs that can be allowed to filter content in a community
Major online communites (can be subreddits, or other communities) moving to Lemmy
Reddit removing old.reddit
Reddit banning people using VPNs (already happening, see !reddit@lemmy.world )
Lemmy becoming the reference source of knowledge for a certain domain

Second point is probably crucial, but I don't see any major subreddit wanting to move here. StarTrek is the exception more that the rule.

What are the best examples of a director going "all out" to get the best out of their actors? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Two examples:

Saving Private Ryan - Spielberg made the whole main cast go through 2 weeks of "hell week" boot camp. He made them suffer together.

Then he flew Matt Damon in on a private jet, put him up in a nice place, and made the rest of the cast fully aware of it.

So there was actually real animosity towards Damon for not having suffered like they did and you could feel it in the movie.

Inglorious Bastards - Quinton told Eli Roth they were going to shoot the "bear Jew" scene a certain day. He put him in the cave and filmed other things. Only to say they weren't ready for him.

He did this I think 2 or 3 days in a row.

When Roth finally comes out you can just see in his eyes the craziness and I can't imagine how it must have felt to finally be set free from this literal cage (cave).

What other examples do you know?
