It's still his ip, he just won't have to do any work to get paid now. I really can't see those shows going on for 3 more seasons like they plan to, but still.

IRQ posted:It's still his ip, he just won't have to do any work to get paid now. Wow. So there are no consequences for rich assholes then. It's more of a forced paid vacation. That sucks. On another note, I saw Paramount+'s new teen fare, Wolf Pack. I was hoping to see more of Sarah Michelle Gellar, but if you're watching this for her, you're going to be disappointed in how little you get. Also, the CGI is, again, MTV-level so terrible. Tons of dramatic running sequences. I did appreciate how they used regular teen acne and scarring as a way to explain how drastic the change to werewolf-hood is, aesthetically. The main girl is dang annoying though, with her tough girl shell and "I don't believe in anything," attitude. Also, of course, there's a werewolf named Luna. Why the hell not? Also, like most teen dramas, the parental figures are inexplicable assholes, but I'm hoping we get more to them than that. It wasn't all that bad though. The main male character shows promise and the little kid is quite convincing as someone on the autism spectrum.

Literally no one knows what the financials are but it is interesting that everyone is choosing to believe the thing that lets them be the most mad about it. He hasn't even gone to trial yet, he's looking at real time. He's never going to be welcome in polite society again, he'll never make shows again, this is a guy who was on the absolute top of his profession, who has been ubiquitous in media aimed at certain age cohorts, and now his career is ruined. That is not "no consequences" that is "extreme loving consequences"

"The Palace is set to be theatrically released in Russia in early 2023." lol Also I think the politics of sexual misbehavior are a little different here in the 2020s than it was in the 1960s.

And John Cleese! If Roman Polanski hadn't drugged and raped that girl (or hadn't been caught) he'd be feted at every opportunity, he'd be doing masterclass seminars in new york city to full houses and receiving major awards yearly, would be working with the tippy top of the Hollywood elite, with every star willing to come to him and work for him for scale. Instead, he's making tiny arthouse movies with washed up actors to the acclaim of a handful of French parlour pedophiles. zoux fucked around with this message at 19:34 on Jan 26, 2023 |

zoux posted:And John Cleese! It took a long time to get to that point with Polanski, though. In just 2009, a bunch of Hollywood A-listers signed a petition calling for his release after his arrest in Switzerland. On this petition was Wes Anderson, Harrison Ford, Natalie Portman, Darren Aronofsky, Adrien Brody, Martin Scorsese, Guillermo del Toro, Jonathan Demme, Terry Gilliam, Jeremy Irons, David Lynch, Michael Mann, Steven Soderbergh, and Emma Thompson. These aren't nobodies, and 2009 wasn't that long ago. I'm glad he's ostracized now, but in the last 2 decades, you had people standing up at the Oscars and Golden Globes praising him and calling for him to be able to come back to the United States as a free man. It was wild poo poo. Hopefully in a post-Me Too world, that won't fly anymore. Hopefully.

If he dodges prison, the most likely outcome imo is he redpills himself and goes full Proud Boy reactionary and starts catering to that crowd. Er, catering more to that crowd, I guess.

Michael Shannon did an interview with Chicago Trib's film critic about the Rust shooting and how gun safety is supposed to work on a set and what he thinks went wrongquote:Q: We’ve read a lot from variously informed people about whether Alec Baldwin deserves these involuntary manslaughter charges, whether they’ll stick, and what appears to have failed completely with the safety protocols on “Rust.” For those of us who’ve never handled firearms on a movie set, walk us through the process. That's actually a much stricter degree of safety than I was expecting.

Interesting interview although he didn't address the weirdness of how Baldwin maybe being a real producer makes all of that fuzzier. That's really a huge part of it. He might have been one of those people insisting that they didn't have the extra money. Also whether he was refusing to engage with the safety lessons that would have pointed out things like how the gun could go off if you cock it while holding the trigger. Also I'm torn on the argument of getting rid of prop guns or gunplay. Plenty of room for fun action movies as long as people on set aren't horrifically undertrained and bad prop guns fixed up in post definitely look worse. Flashbacks to later season Person of Interest. But at the same time, I happened to see clips from Zero-Zero-Zero again recently, and someone pointed out how the guns look horribly fake (literally just airsoft pieces that are painted up) but they put so much effort into making the gunmen move well and handle the guns right that you don't really notice it in the scene. Also gotta watch Poker Face. Also, also hoping that American Auto is decent this season. Liked it last season and we need more decent sitcoms.

Fun fact: they switched to bad prop guns because Jim Caviezel was such a reckless loving maniac with the blank firing guns, they decided to keep them away from them before he hurt or killed someone.

I also think they got into a lot of trouble with NYC over squibs or blanks, unless I'm mixing them up with another show. Shannon's quote in the interview about maybe just using swords is funny in that context though since they also initially insisted on him only using guns because the crew was allegedly afraid that he'd really smash some poor extra's knee with a tire iron if they gave him one.

theflyingexecutive posted:Were they using more than quarter load blanks? NYC is v strict about that Maybe that was just it. That they had to use the blanks with less powder and opted to just use CGI because it wasn't worth the trouble for the effect. Googling didn't help since it turns out "Person of Interest" is kind of a polluted search term even if you add "TV" to it  .

That’s the thing, most people won’t. Part of the issue is the hyper-fixation of guns in the U.S. There is LITERALLY an internet movie firearms database. Sure our hero took so many blows he should be suffering from a concussion for the next 3 months, but you better not have the wrong magazine in that prop gun or it TOTALLY blows all realism. Gun lose deflate all dramatic tension the instant they are fired. After that, they are simply special effects and they should really be treated as such. If your action choreography is good and engaging, no one sane is going to even loving notice that the muzzle flashes are CG.
