I saw the trailer but I only re-up for Prime like once or twice a year Does this court ruling over the Ripple currency matter?

Death By The Blues posted: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. If a movie makes $10 million in profit, they consider it a flop. Hollywood only wants $billion+ grossing movies.

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. people are going start watching more chinese / korean / thai dramas seriously, every (usually middle aged) woman I know that actually watches scripted TV has wandered into east asian dramas during COVID, especially those on a fixed income - viki and youtube many are free to watch and there are so many, it's impossible to run out

the studio gets like 50-60% of the gross a movie makes so grossing 600 mill on a 300 budget for example is breaking even (a loss )

Disney got greedy after 2019 where they had like 7 films make over a billion. It looks like not one of their films this year will cross one billion (assuming Marvels will flop) https://variety.com/2020/film/box-office/disney-global-box-office-2019-1203453364/

My daughters apartment complex is offering renewal deals on leases for only $200/month increase in rent! From $1650/month to $1850/month for a one bedroom! Don’t worry, month to month is only $3,000! They chose to move a bit further away from where they currently are and save $600/month.

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. The current US economy is built around foundational cornerstones of insanity like cryptocurrency, AirBNB, Hollywood, criminally murderous healthcare and exploitative useless education peddling. I don't think it would ever be just Hollywood not working for more than a few months. There are entire cities that exist just to service the entertainment industry in really specific and immediate ways. Caterers that sell $$,$$$ per month now make nothing. Maybe Brad Pitt can post on twitter about the struggle for three entire human centuries in comfort but the 99% of people affected by this are huge for the economy at the state level in several places. The only thing that makes us not have new Movies/TV for a prolonged period of time is if the economy deteriorates to the point where it isn't possible or isn't considered a priority.

US firefighters raise concerns over looming pay cutquote:With wildfire season under way in the United States, the federal government is facing a potential exodus of wildland firefighters over a major pay cut that could go into effect in a few months. quote:Rachel Granberg, a wildland firefighter based in Washington state with eight years of experience, has already seen multiple colleagues leave their jobs in the past year or so. Going to need more prisoners to make up the shortfall in firefighters.

I hear women really like them in Iran and Saudi Arabia https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2016/04/665_198617.html It's kinda cool to know the stuff my dad and grandparents would watch on the OTA korean/asian broadcaster is enjoyed worldwide. My god do they chew the scenery though. I know when it's on because a Korean lady will just be losing her poo poo crying, every episode.

Vox Nihili posted:Sprinklers work just fine at fire suppression. Sprinklers aren't really intended for fire suppression, at least not, in the sense of saving the structure. They're really just meant to buy time for the people to evacuate. Because everything can be rebuilt, now at only 4x the original cost!

Vox Nihili posted: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. i mean that's literally how the new hollywood movement started, with sword and sandal epics and big cinemascope musicals flopping left and right in the early 60s the film industry's always had these boom and bust cycles about every 15 years or so as the current consistent moneymaker eventually loses steam

The hope from the management side is that a federal mediator would be seen as a neutral third party to help move the sides toward a compromise that would be more acceptable to the union’s rank-and-file members if it flowed through a mediator. Sources close to the negotiations say the AMPTP representatives and member company leaders are frustrated at what they see as SAG-AFTRA’s intransigence. There’s a strong feeling that a militant minority in the union is having outsize influence on the negotiating strategy, with no regard to the heavy toll that a strike would take on actors as well as other unions and myriad businesses that bank on production-related work. “We’re negotiating with ourselves and we’re not getting anywhere,” the source said. “How can a mediator hurt?”
