70 million figure is funny cause it's also what he "forced" WB to spend to put out The Snyder Cut.

Little Mermaid sure didn’t put that money on screen This also very much applies, even more so, to the Secret Invasion Disney+ show, which has very little in the way of effects work and cost $220 million.

Every movie that has had that money thrown at it that I've seen wastes it on terrible CGI slop were you can't tell what's even going on

The Dune delay is dumb as hell because the first movie was pretty successful and Barbie/Oppenheimer shows that people are excited about movies again. They're really married to the idea that you *gotta* have your stars on all the talk shows to make a movie a hit. And maybe that's true for small indie stuff but not exactly a sequel to a movie that made a cool 400 mil.

The dunc delay is so that the more ignorant parts of the general public get mad at the greedy actors and writers because it's obviously their fault Pew Pew Laser movie isn't coming out.

Earlier on in the strike someone posted what it would actually cost the studios to just give the unions what they want and it was a pretty trivial number. The cruelty is the point. They care more about giving power than giving more money.

I said elsewhere but executives at this point obviously hate that they have to pay people to make movies, the salivating over AI made it pretty obvious. They want the end of movies as creative works and to just be endless interchangeable Content.

The first union in Hollywood was the Motion Pictures Association of Producers, the group that is negotiating against the WGA and SAG. A union of studios. They want their side to win over labor and have for a century now. People talk about class consciousness but no one is more mindful about it than these useless fucks

The cruelty is the point. They care more about giving power than giving more money. “It is true that profits would be higher under a regime of full employment than they are on the average under laissez-faire; and even the rise in wage rates resulting from the stronger bargaining power of the workers is less likely to reduce profits than to increase prices, and thus adversely affects only the rentier interests. But 'discipline in the factories' and 'political stability' are more appreciated than profits by business leaders. Their class instinct tells them that lasting full employment is unsound from their point of view, and that unemployment is an integral part of the 'normal' capitalist system.” -Michal Kalecki

Shageletic posted:The first union in Hollywood was the Motion Pictures Association of Producers, the group that is negotiating against the WGA and SAG. A union of studios. Well, an association of managers is not a union. It’s at best a sort of guild and more likely (as in this case) simply a cartel. SuperMechagodzilla posted:“It is true that profits would be higher under a regime of full employment than they are on the average under laissez-faire; and even the rise in wage rates resulting from the stronger bargaining power of the workers is less likely to reduce profits than to increase prices, and thus adversely affects only the rentier interests.

Cythereal posted:Also, that guy in real life was condemned by Sparta as a coward and eventually committed suicide. That was pretty hosed. What happened was Leonidas sent two of the Spartans away on separate paths in case the Persians caught one of them; that would've been fine, since they were obeying the direct orders of their king. But the other guy changed his mind and went back to die in the battle, so obviously the guy who did what he was told to do was just a coward running away.

To elaborate: Aristodemus, who the the character was based on, obviously tried to reclaim his honor in a battle so he charged the enemy and fought furiously before being killed. After that the spartans stopped calling him a coward, but they also thought he had been too reckless and refused to honor him. Alhazred fucked around with this message at 11:57 on Aug 31, 2023 |
