First thing that happens when I come in this morning is the nurse educator is like can I talk to you about something without you getting offended. she immediately goes at me for my beard I haven't been able to shave all weekend cause I cant see shit because we've had major power outages this weekend. It's not even long just barely past what's considered stubble

She's saying people are going to judge me because Im new and claim I look scruffy, And if I can cover my hair and beard when Im in the breakroom.

Then she asks me if she can ask a question without offending me and asks me if I would consider cutting my hair because Im new and people will judge me for it on top of questioning whether I can do the job or not

There is one guy here who has the scruffiest patchtiest beard ever and we have a dude with dreads. This feels so asinine and borderline discriminatory. My hair is always clean im generally smooth faced but the one time I cant shave its a problem..

No woman would ever be asked to cut their long hair. The nurse educator claimed she was just trying to help me

Something I have always wondered is do people believe pre destination and the desire to convert others coexist? Im sure evangelists realize there are people they will never reach ever because their minds and hearts aren't capable of opening up for even a moment. Couldnt you then say that these people were already predestined?

Alot of surgeons not all. I am three months in as a scrub on my own with no previous experience and I can tell you they don't care if you don't know or have never don't a step in a peocedure.

Yesterday was my first day alone and I had 6 cases all cysto. I thought I actually did well, we were ahead of time by an hour all day but the surgeon told my nurse educator that he was struggling all day because of me. I made a few small mistakes but I was expected to anticipate steps and be ready on cases I was rarely in.

I am struggling right now knowing when to interject and help and when to let the surgeon donhis thing, especially thisnsurgeone because hes really independent, he even drapes while Im draping instead of just letting me do it.

There were no notes for scrub techs in the preference sheet despite my nurse educator telling me to read it. I told her there were none she looked it up and said oh youre right

Best advice I can give to new scrubs if you get this kind of criticism is just shift your brain to overdrive and focus even more be more ready in general, triple check everything, make sure you have everything you need

I watched the directors cut several years ago and it just didn't grab me. The story felt very shallow and for whatever reason I kinda tuned out . Years later I gave it another try and the theatrical cut completely flipped my opinion. The tangerine dream soundtrack makes it such an ethereal experience. Probably the best practical effects of any movie I've ever seen.

I love the delivery of the lines the characters, especially blix. It might be one of my favorite movies of all time now.

One thing I will say is I think if they had left the full Meg Muckleborne scene where Jack is trying to bullshit his way out of getting eaten, it would have been a 10. The scene in the theatrical version makes it seems very stilted and abrupt. It's such a shame to waste that incredible character design on such a short scene

Because he felt his time was coming to an end, and this was a virtuous thing to do? Or was it just to provoke or shock and give a wink of knowing to the people he knew were doing these things. These Diddy parties, epstein etc things that have only entered the public consciousness more than twenty years later.

Another thing I have thought of is what does Tom Cruise think of all this? I have to assume he was never involved with these kinds of people in his social life, because he would surely have the foresight to know this will all come to light eventually. I guess what Im saying is, he probably wasn't involved with all the creepy shit in Hollywood if hes in a moving exposing it. I know revealing these things to the general public isn't the only message of the movie, but I have seen people outright deny that its even a theme in the movie and its just about infidelity and blah blah...

I have watched this movie dozens of times and Idk why it just sunk in during this evening. While sitting down to play my guitar Im watching eyes wide shut and fully realizing what a despicable, narcissistic, gasligting, manipulative bitch Alice is. She is a straight up sociopath.

Why did Kubrick write her this way?

There's absolutely nothing redeemable she has to offer Bill or their relationship or their family.

She literally relishes in sexually demoralizing Bill. It's actually pretty sad. I am not as deep in the rabbit hole over this movie as most of you, but recently have been picking up more on the suggested thematics Kubrick was trying to express, as opposed to the visual themes that I only observed in previous viewings.
