Haven't heard a side neighbor in five years.There was a bad fire once in the apt. on the flip side of mine way before I moved here but the bldg. engineer said mine had no smoke damage. When I lived in socal I could hear what tv channels my side neighbors were watching.

This is the end of the line forTV as we know it. The studios are never coming to the table, we're going to get a decade of reality TV and then labor will have no power after that.

I've noticed that netflix has been buying up rights to a lot of foreign tv shows & that's probably gonna accelerate.

They will have to come back in some capacity. The era of bloated blockbuster, Disneys stranglehold and capeshit is starting to come to an end considering how many of their films have flopped or struggled this year. People want some sort of return of mid budget unique original film and television is starting to crawl back. The issue is you cannot treat art like some sort of silicion valley tech bro bullshit, the last 10-12 years of how the industry has been going needs to be erased.

Raccooon posted:I feel like CSPAM has been lol at AI replacing people anytime soon. But, I can see it being possible in like 20-30 years. I can't believe the studio is just openly saying it when they can't do it yet and making it obvious to everyone to ban it now and forever. Cspam won't make me the himmler of the anti-ai task force either.

Barbie is about to run the box office and while it very well may be good it seems a likely harbinger of the next wave of IP slop, riding on the heels of Blackberry, Air, Flamin Hot, Tetris, Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story (coming later this year)..... hell you could even lump the Mario and D&D movies in there i fear the dawn of the Brand/Product movie is upon us

The issue is you cannot treat art like some sort of silicion valley tech bro bullshit, the last 10-12 years of how the industry has been going needs to be erased. Hollywood has been commodifying art for way, way longer than the last decade. The big, mindless feature film model prints money. A few busts aren't going to get them to pivot to artsy, dialogue heavy original films, they're just going to shove new content into the old model.

Can't wait for the bipartisan Making Of United States Entertainment act that issues taxpayer funded movie ticket vouchers (paid upfront to Disney and others*) that lets you enjoy 3 movies of your choice per year**. *The money paid to the studios will be treble the amount of an IMAX ticket per use ** Voucher not applicable to IMAX or any premium or opening weekend showings.

The issue is less the content but more the budgets. Flash, Indiana Jones, Elemental, Ant Man, Shazam, DnD, arguably GOTG 3 either flopping or disappointing means that the model of creating 150-350 million dollars is not viable. Considering how well Asteroid City, No Hard Feelings or Blackening did with their respective budgets and returns, studios will probably gamble less on bloated IPs and focus more on then 5-50 million dollar films.

Barbie will not succeed because of the brand/product more so a director and or writer now is an aesthetic and if you have that like Greta Gerwig your films will do really well. Even Tetris if streamers reveal their numbers probably didn't do to well.

Similar projects have printed money dozens of times. Terrible Shazam movies failing doesn't mean the model is dead, it just means those projects sucked. Even Transformers movies still print money.

There's only so much they can milk from a particular franchise before people finally grow tired of it. That means they'll eventually be plugging in or rebooting some other franchise.

It feels like the trailer for Air came out like two weeks ago and I was like that's dumb, and then I blinked and it's everywhere now. Does seem like the comic book slop wagon was getting harder to fill so they had to pivot to something else.

In Training posted:the last time SAG and WGA we're on strike together ron Reagan was the pres of SGA and used the period to kick a bunch of people off the SAG exec committee by telling the FBI they were commies, and chartering busses to physically break through pickets so scabs could get to the lots, then assist the mafia in torturing the pres of the WGA and dumping his body in the Nevada desert (he survived and came back to the bargaining table pretty shook and acquiesced on most demands) Wait what??

If it cost 200 million not to mention whatever press and industry cost for it and exhibition and it "only" pulled in 400 it disappointed. In particular more so if it doesn't have legs and crashes the week after debut. https://www.seibertron.com/transfor...umblebee/47784/

I'm surprised this thread didn't talk about the tv show I'm A Virgo. It has a strong anti-capitalist/capitalisms relies on violence message. Its free on Amazon Prime.

"buying" Not paying for it  The guy who did Squid Games signed over the all his rights to the show to Netflix, just so that he gained exposure, in the hope that someone would pay him for his next project.
