I don't know if reality shows have a specific term for it but in film editing it's called "cheating a line".

I think it's that women often associate trying things on with their emotional worth. But I really try not to do that. Even when I was thinner, a lot of clothing did not fit me right (and I had and have a fairly ideal body type and weight). I'm sure it's much more frustrating the larger your sizing is since it's so…

In the 1990s I was a M or size 6 at the Gap. Now I am an XS or 2 sometimes. I weigh 20 lbs more now, than I did then.

The data re: if women don't fit into their "normal" size they give up on shopping is a little strange to me. My size changes based on the brand and I often have to bring two different sizes with me into the dressing room to see which fits better. And in New York, so many stores run out of sizes so quickly that if one…

I like to shop online and I've noticed that a lot of department stores are carrying clothes like this. One thing I looked at was a "Small" which covered a size 0 to size 6. Those are not remotely the same sizes!

When I was in college and topics about sexism and misogyny came up, male friends or SOs I knew would always say, "Pox, you sound so angry at men." And I used to get defensive and downplay my anger and tell them "I'm not angry at you." But now, my response is, "And? Why aren't you angry, too?" Reading about women being…

Whenever I stop in a gas station or town in the Central Valley I feel like someone is watching me and yet there never really seems to be many people around. It is an unsettling place.

The Central Valley can be pretty creepy.

When you submit a credit for your IMDB page it goes through an approval process which is supposed to involve the studio or production company to verify that you did actually work on that film in that particular job. All uncredited work (as in you aren't in the final credit roll at the end of the film) is marked as…

You should read this article about what parents of sociopaths face: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/13/mag…

Yes, it really shows what concerned parents face when trying to get help or intervention for their disturbed children.

This is a pretty chilling article about what parents of psychopaths/sociopaths face: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/13/mag…

This is the bigger issue. It is so hard as a family member or friend of someone who is mentally ill to get them help. If you're 18+ you can't be forced to do anything regarding psychiatric treatment unless you are an imminent threat to yourself or others which means you have to say to the doctor or the cops that you…

Normal assholes usually don't mass murder a bunch of strangers. Who knows what and if he would be diagnosed as a sociopath- it wouldn't matter because it wouldn't be something he could use to argue as an insanity plea. I was just saying it would make sense considering his delusion of grandeur, level of anger, and…

I read that his father is Peter Rodger, who was the 2nd Unit director. 2nd Unit directors are in charge of filming most of the MOS (no sound) shots such as establishing shots, inserts (close ups of objects), VFX pieces for more elaborate shots, etc. They are not usually considered big wigs in Hollywood. And they have…

Right?!

That makes sense - he works in commercials which are very lucrative. And the jump to films is more realistic.

Yeah, I'm really curious. It's not unusual for people's IMDB pages to be incomplete (especially older people who've been in the biz for awhile) but it's weird because IMDB automatically updates any credits that are part of the official credit roll at the end of a film and that's been going on for almost a decade at…

No, they have their reasons which usually are they "felt like it" or the other person made them angry. They have an inability to empathize so they can't understand things from other people's perspectives. They are narcissistic so others don't matter to them.

True, but it's still weird because people usually don't start off as 2nd ADs on franchise action films. You usually have to work up to the position or work on other smaller films first.
