Waititi's comments are funny considering that he is or has been attached to a Star War, a Disneyland ride movie and an Akira remake.

Yeah but that said, when you have someone who has unwavering religious love for a franchise taking the helm, you get boring content, like everything Dave Filoni has made

Unfortunately the Netflix guy who blew the entire budget on cars and gambling was making a TV series so I did not post the story, so we are stuck with Waititi

not even this thread just BREAKING NERDNEWS DOT COM : Taika will not be making a movie about the Jetsons, Johnny Quest, or Jaws I once saw a tweet by an angry brooklyn hipster describing him as the "Lin Manuel Miranda of movies" and while they were an angry brooklyn hipster I had to agree

Universe reverence and expansion as the primary underlying interest of art leads to spiritually bankrupt "content", and that's how I perceive Filoni's work on Star Wars. If you like his stuff, that's cool.

https://jalopnik.com/netflix-gave-a...lajaq9PhG5LTVpE Netflix gave the director of 47 Ronin over fifty million while he progressively lost his mind on amphetamines to not make a show. And then wired him another 11 million he invested in crypto.

The most crazy part to me is just that he was seemingly just handed a big bag of money. I have no idea how this poo poo usually works but I would think there would be a ton of parties with oversight of funds... right??

Yeah, Thor was his fifth feature, and Wilderpeople was a pretty big success. He was nominated for an Academy Award in like 2005? And didn't he do a draft of Moana? Pretty big stretch to call himself poor while cashing a Disney check on the way to an MCU movie.

On the movie crypt podcast joe lynch talked about struggling to pay rent in his tiny apartment with his wife and kid and this guy has been working fairly constantly since 2006. But nothing super high profile box office wise which is why. If you’re not constantly working on big budget films you’re not really making that much compared to say big working actors. I can easily buy he was fairly broke. I can’t imagine wilderpeople was a gig job that landed him a giant paycheck

So he can’t really sell much without loving himself over. It’s hard to say how much actual cash he has but it’s probably less than you would think

I wonder what kind of cut you get if you co-create a movie and then it gets turned into a TV show that runs for a few seasons. Has to be pretty easy money.

FlamingLiberal posted:Well they’re typically cash poor if anything To build on this, almost all of Elon's net worth is tied up in SpaceX and Tesla stock and he's leveraged to the gills in debt from his buyout of Twitter. That's been a primary concern regarding debt service payments, as the big ones start coming due soon and between him having next to no liquid capital and Twitter / X having substantially negative cash flow, there is doubt about his ability to make those big payments that are due in--I believe--January and April. He's basically the walking textbook example of "asset-rich, cash-poor." Trump is in a similar state of affairs, as his "wealth" is directly tied to his real estate holdings, primarily golf courses and hotels. He's a billionaire on paper, but his actual liquidity is severely limited and will be further limited following the resolution of his civil fraud trial in New York. Similarly, Vince McMahon, also technically a billionaire on paper, has almost no liquid assets and his net worth is nearly completely tied to WWE (well, I guess now TKO) stock.

While I recognize that I still don't completely buy it because Trump could always sell one or some of his lesser used / important properties for a lot of money, and Musk could likely sell some stock without taking a huge hit to pay personal bills. (The billions he leveraged out to buy Twitter are a different story, lol). It reminds me how monarchists used to defend the royalty because you see on paper they are actually dirt poor on a stipend from the state! It is their greed and desire for power that keeps them bound to their assets.

Isn't it also a thing that banks bend over backwards to keep guys like Trump and Musk above water, because they have to keep looking like successes so that the investments they're tied up in don't collapse and cause other rich folk to lose money? The financial world is an oroubouros blowjob

It's about rich people staying rich but specifically the rich people that own the bank. They keep people like Musk and Trump afloat so that they can quietly sell the debt they've incurred loaning to them. Then it's a CYA scenario since if you sell too much bad debt no one will buy future debt from you. It's all three card Monte they keep playing until their parachute finishes vesting.

It's kind of darkly funny how "rich people sharing class interests" also works in reverse, in that by maneuvering your interests to overlap that of a wealthy institution, you can make yourself rich almost by fiat.

Whoa, looking at Waititi's filmography, he hasn't done a lot, and most of his credits were in New Zealand, which has low salaries for everybody and a tiny film industry. And high housing prices, of course. If the only gigs he got were occasional scale writing and acting jobs trying to make it in Hollywood, and probably need to 'keep up appearances' both places, yeah, I can see that being scary.

Chairman Capone posted:Him framing this as "I had to do Thor to support my family" is also kind of funny because he cheated on his (first) wife with his PA during the production of Thor 3, leading to their divorce. I was gonna say, was that before or after he allegedly talked in professional meetings about how much he loves Rita Ora sucking his dick?
