It's on Netflix and even if it weren't, that's not how any of this works. Sandler has been mediocre for years now without making up that he's a tax cheat, drat. Like others said, he's just lazy.

Yeah, I think I got his particular grift that others laid out confused with an actual tax dodge being done (or rumoured to, at least) by a UK-based production company.

Uwe Boll was the one who used tax code loopholes on his movies. He used a complex series of shell company movement of money, writing off production costs, and the fact that you only have to pay tax on net profit to create a tax shelter for himself and other investors. Making the shittiest movies possible ensured they'd never make a taxable profit.

It's not just Uwe Boll, Hollywood is notorious for poo poo where movies like Avatar actually cause a loss. Many people have been screwed over because they get a cut of net profits but net profits are zero because the catering company was charging 1m dollars a day or something insane.

Nah they're deliberately cheaply and lazily made so that he can pocket the entire production budget while giving all his friends work, and since they always make money anyway the producers just pony up the budget for the next one. Them being lovely is a by-product of the scam, not a necessary component.

Yeah, I forget where I read it, probably some post/article from here but he basically hires all of his friends requires them to be shot in exotic locations so they all get a free few months vacation then pocket all of the production money and whatever % he gets from the profits.

https://news.avclub.com/adam-sandler-confirms-that-his-movies-are-just-paid-vac-1798268792

It's basically the perfect job for someone like Sandler.

I mean look at these filming locations for what could have probably all been done in LA.

With Hollywood Accounting being so notorious that there’s an actual term for it, I’m surprised that anyone would even agree to a “cut of the profits” deal anymore. Why, if you’re just going to get screwed out of it?

I know that if people have real clout, they can demand a “cut of the net gross” deal, which is how Robert Downey Jr. earned 75 million dollars just from Avengers Infinity War.

You don't know what you don't know. And people often get a "feel" for other people and come to trust them. I mean look at how Zuckerberg hosed his business partner out of billions of dollars. Lawyers make a lot of money out of loving other people over, they go to school for 3 years for it.

What's the phrase "where we go one we go all" even supposed to mean? It's such a word salad phrase.

Also no Q drop since May 16, maybe whoever it is has become bored or something.

Its from some feel good 90s movie about people surviving a boat accident or something like that. Its one of those quotes that stupid people ascribe some deep meaning to but doesn't actually make sense when thought is put into it, like everything else with Q.

Re: Chuck Dixon, I saw him at a con a few years back and his table was mostly Batman related (Bane Conquest was running at the time) but he had a few Chuddy books about fighting Islam.

It's from the movie White Squall, and in the context of boating it makes even less sense really. I mean where the boat goes is where we're all going.

Q canon says that the bell on JFK's boat had the full inscription of WWG1WGA. In White Squall, it's said by a character and there's a clip of JFK's Cuban missile crisis speech in there. Combine that with their JFK Jr. fetish and you got a real bag of poo poo.

It means that you are part of a strong community now, that you belong. We have a purpose and we allways fight together and support each other. One for all and all for one. And we won't shun or abandon you, especially not for something harmless like calling my child a dirty mulatto at the Christmas family gathering.

I can't help but wonder why Q hasn't been posting, but it's been kind of obvious that the whole thing has been falling off recently. Sure, there's still the true believers, but you can only grift on old posts for so long. I wonder if Q found a better gig or if they're trying to build hype for the return. This could also go the Pizza Gate route where it just gets folded into something else that's more new and exciting.

Forgot the tripcode, if it's like the last few times a Q stopped posting and nobody trusted a new one for a while.

Q attracted the attention of the FBI with some vaguely threatening statements and five minutes after they started looking into him they busted him for child porn and he’s now prison property of whoever has the most cigarettes.

Yeah, at some point "Q" will pop back up with a new tripcode and drastically different writing style. There will be suspicion at first, but as predictions are missed and deadlines fly by he will gradually become accepted, until he too grows bored.
