The problem here is what happens to everyone else who isn't one of these big named guys when the costs aren't covered.

I prefer they give a billion dollars to Johnson and Craig instead of whatever bigoted assholes Hastings wants to use to piss off the libs today.

Reminder that Netflix was also bidding against Apple and Amazon to get the rights to these sequels, which is partly why the cost was so high. And the original film made like $300 million on a budget of $40 million.

I’d have seen it in theaters if any of the ones locally had shown it. I still need to watch it but the holidays were busy. An alternative to Avatar 2 for our traditional Christmas Eve theater trip would have been appreciated.

If Netflix's poor purchasing decisions lead to good movies it's a good thing. If it leads to bad movies, well,

They offered Craig 30 million, to which he said "okay, but then I won't do the accent."

I believe there was bidding and Netflix just jumped in with an absurd number and chased everyone off, but also everyone else was laughing because that's just a stupid amount of money.

The only Rian Johnson movies I’ve seen are Looper and The Last Jedi. Both were terrible. Therefore statistics show he is terrible 100% of the time.

Whenever I read about how much Netflix paid for something, all I can think is how many more seasons of American Vandal we could've gotten.

I just hope Johnson and Craig were paid upfront. Given how things have been going, it seems very possible that Netflix might not be around in 2 years when the next movie is finished.

No one caring about Little Ben’s comedy about Harvard Law is certainly part of his villain origin story. Also if that’s the interview I think it is, Benny identifies Bill Cosby as a conservative comedian.

Even before that became common knowledge, I remember Cosby being self-righteous about how shameful it was people were causing property damage during the early 2000's Cincinnati police riots.

Big Mean Jerk posted:He’s made five good movies and one forgettable one with Brothers Bloom. I feel like there's a ton of references to Brothers Bloom in Glass Onion and feel like it's the one movie Johnson keeps coming back to, personally. If nothing else I knew at least one character in Glass Onion didn't die [spoiler]because the entire time all I could think about was the thing in Brothers Bloom where they discuss the difference between stage blood and real blood.[spoiler] Chemtrailologist posted:Whenever I read about how much Netflix paid for something, all I can think is how many more seasons of American Vandal we could've gotten. The guys that did American Vandal have an enjoyable sendup of eSports that's done in a very similar vein called "Players" on Paramount+. It's not quite American Vandal but it's almost as good.

Netflix's Matlida musical is a lot of fun but their desperation in trying to create a Roald Dahl Cinematic Universe with the production logo at the beginning is palpable.
