Dont you have a ski slope to go down comedically? 🤣🤣🤣 love ya homer

was listening to a podcast that said, “it’s important to live life by design rather than emotion. Basically, sticking to a routine is what allows us to be the healthiest version of ourselves (especially when you're fighting these demons ex. OCD for me). I’ve had to overhaul how I approach taking care of my brain (exercise, journaling, studying etc) by practising mediocre consistency. Now I try to put in consistent 50-60% effort into my habits - to make sure I do it I began recording it and posting it on YT. After a really bad depression phase I started to believe I couldn’t change and I’d feel that horrible forever. Historically I have a habit of going too hard, not being able to sustain the Herculean effort, giving up and hating myself. So now I’m trying to give a small, consistent mediocre effort everyday. And its crazy how it adds up.

Mediocre isn't the right word honey, REALISTIC is what you mean. If your expectations are high (Im supposed to be doing 100 pullups an hour), then the expectations are the problem, not your body.

@@cat.batshon I meant mediocre. In the sense of if I were trying to make everything monumental, if I believed that everything I did was important, then I wouldn’t get anything done. I wouldn’t know how to do anything. I believe in mistakes and errors and not looking ‘good’. This is because, to practice mediocrity is also to practice consistency. You must never allow yourself only to be mediocre once. You have to try, as hard as you can, to be mediocre constantly. That’s just me tho.

I have always felt so insecure around other film-pursuers. They seemed to have it all figured out: “I got my first camera when I was 10 and I’ve always wrote little skits and stuff”. But I was a kid who was always dipping my toes and going too and from different things, never really claiming a specific hobby. I don’t know a lot about famous filmmakers other than the films and tv shows I love. But seeing that my all time favorite filmmaker has had the same experience makes me immensely happy!!!!

I like his philosophy. I'm not worried how Thor 4 was. This man is still a creative genius

bruh im literally in the middle of watching thor right now! and I paused to watch this and whole time this is the man responsible. this algorithm stuff is getting out of control.

I took Muay Thai back in 2019 to 2020 and I learned SOOO much about my body, my balance improved, and more confident with defending myself against predatory behavior. The act of training in itself is amazing. Very happy for you mate 💪

I really like how you preview pieces of your clips at the beginning. It feels like getting a trailer before the main video so I can get my mind in the zone of what this guy’s gonna be talking about. Also the advice lands way harder when I hear it twice.

I love this video so much. I have so much gratitude now to really be pursuing my art now because I had the chance to gain so much material over the span of 20 years with jobs, relationships just simply being a human. I love that perspective.

Love this channel, thank you for putting these videos together ❤

Loved this. My favorite director

I started producing music at 25 and this makes me feel better haha

"Dove for seaweed?" Sign me up bro. I have some jobs that really suck I could tell you about.. I loved what we do in the shadows and the 1st Thor he did

Just when I thought youtube's algorithm had totally failed me, this channel comes along and redeems.

I spent a week in Mojave with some people I met 2 days before. Best week of my life. One of the guys told me to read this book which reminded me of The Matrix movie, but with more information. And it changed my life…so I’m paying it forward: “Man Being Volume 1: The Transmission”. It covers everything from time travel, dreams, death, the afterlife, reincarnation, extraterrestrials, portals and gateways, Vatican and Renaissance secrets, Ancient civilizations, Lemuria, Atlantis, Jesus, Sinai, Egyptians and the Pyramids, Hebrew letters, etc. Wild read. Best I’ve had in years.

You ever notice how in these "follow your passion" and "your dream will come true if you work hard" videos they never actually say anything of concrete or actual useful information. It's always the same platitudes "you can do it, just work hard, it's never too late" but never actually say what they themselves have done to achieve it. Like literally what steps they have taken to be where they are now. How 90% of them were already in the business & arts, knew the right people, nepotism, went through some insanely expensive private school etc. If you have none of that, in what reality you just come out of nowhere to suddenly making movies, acting etc if you haven't ever done those things or studied them but it's "your dream". Not trying to burst anyone's bubble but people also need to acknowledge the realities. After having worked in both movie and music industries, I fully realize it never had to do with "working hard" or following my dreams, but mostly about who I knew and who I am friends with. Once you somehow get in, your chances go up by 5% of getting to actually do something meaningful to you. So, good luck!

Success comes from hard work yet most ppl need to be told that relentlessly until it sparks the fire to actually do the hard work. That’s what it was for me. Most ppl procrastinate, second guess, self doubt, fear breaking out of comfort zones. These videos will seem like platitudes till we actually do what they’re chatting about. Success is an inside job

Agreed, but the wording isn't quite right. I guess a better way to put it is that we're in some way kinda predestined depending on where we are and what social class we're in. Also luck is the biggest thing that they all don't mention, but i guess hard work in continuing to create things increases chances of striking gold

Lol this comment is worth gold! He always tries to hide the name

What do I do to find a passion? I am trying to put together the one biggest mess of my life the time line of my life a life fragmented by memory lose from being raped at 8 . I am still at 45 plugged by flashbacks so ya I want to write a book about a mess of a life others made for me then handed it to me and said you can have this mess here is your life make something out of that . I am so lost on how to fix that issue . I have even flipped threw my memories of my life like photographs and it works but it is scary in my head man .

Taika has had a charmed run...doing stupid shit...not everyone could get away with that...and I think not giving a f*** helped him....who knows it might work for you too...

Makes me wonder what was going when made the USA version of the Inbetweeners.

I should have watched this with Christmas carols playing in the background.

I love this guys name and his look.

Jojo rabbit and that other movie with the fat new Zealand kid are so good.

yeah, unless you're a vfx artist and you want to have reasonable working hours and have your work be respected. It's a shame. He has genuinely great and funny advice here and I like most of his stuff but after that vanity fair interview I cannot see him in a good light anymore.

he follows his own advice, his films are lame, he is winning

30s? That's late? Ouch.

His passion is ruining your mythos

His passion was ruining thor, mission accomplished

So true! He totally changed his trajectory mid flight. He went from making a decent Thor film to phoning the next one in. We celebrate a talentless buffoon.

It’s also never too late to quit taika

Nice message- but back to being a stripper after Love and Thunder

It's too late to undo Thor love and thunder.

You're still a kid of 47 ~

Time to get away from the MCU Taika! Probably already too late, but hopefully your soul is intact.

It’s funny cause he made Thor 4 with no passion

you’re passion for ruining movies?

Is his passion fucking up franchises? Cuz he's great at that

Yeah, and it's never too late to go on a full on ego trip, and direct a terrible Thor movie.

Last Thor movie was hot garbage.
