American Standard is a company that makes toilets, sinks, and other bath fixtures. its funny to see them having their own retail stores as in the US they would be sold at hardware retailers.

for me the annoying bit is the concept of "naturalistic acting", an established idea where actors are reading lines as stilted as anything in a greek comedy, but they do it in a way which they wouldn't *actually* if trying to speak to another human being. like, people by and large don't habitually mumble or whisper or say everything with a growl. especially not outside, with anyone you don't know, or on the telephone.

actual realism would be real bad as well, sure actors would then talk in way more neutral ways aiming to be heard, but instead everything would be agrammatical, take twice as long to say, and of course 90% of the dialog would be irrelevant to the story being told. which is where realism being dumb comes in, just as well to have actors project.

if we consider the term "naturalistic acting" to cover delivery rather than content i think its fine. 2 people talking quietly on a couch with lav mics can provide a more intimate delivery that serves the work better than something more directly delivered to a boom mic. Whether the actual performance is good and whether the audience is paying attention to the nuance, is a separate question. As a technique its fine.

I'd say theres a separate category of clowns like nolan who want "realistic audio" meaning "this is what it would actually sound like if you were there" which is a stupid gimmick that doesnt serve anything.

yeah, it makes the characters seem completely unhinged when they're always whisper-scream-crying and stuff. if michael burnham would just _speak normally_ i'd probably dislike discovery a lot less tbh because it makes her seem like an absolute shitshow of a human that fails at basic tasks like "have a normal conversation" and "walk down the hallway"

STD is not naturalistic acting, its dogshit writing and direction (though how much freedom the directors get i have no idea).

zojirushi rice cookers are so drat good. i was too cheap to drop $600 on one imported from japan so I have a chinese one eg sold by zojirushi with same design but made in china. extremely worth the ~200 cad i spent since we make rice 3-4x per week.

i litterrally ordered this one from amazon last night. hopefully it lives up to the hype
