I assume all the entertainment industry wank festivals are having a hard time with ratings and nobody in production of em gives a poo poo anymore

This is what I see. The entertainment industry has nepotism'd itself into a death spiral married to executive dumbassness that's poisoned the whole thing. Nobody cares, millions of other things to occupy your time with and streaming isn't profitable.
I guess we can be charitable and call it a 'contraction'

Execs like Bob Iger (he sucks too) at least pay lip service to caring about art and the creative people behind it. Zaslav just blatantly makes it known he gives no fucks and just wants that money.

Yeah there isn't a difference between executives besides how they market themselves. They are all ignorant, dumb, short sighted self-righteous dorks after naked short term profit above all else.

Once 'business' enters into art this is always what happens. It's the end goal by design.

I have a friend who makes a living doing art for book covers and tv/movie promotional art. I haven't talked to him in a while but I imagine he's legit scared shitless he's going to be replaced by AI art in the not too distant future. It loving sucks.

He's probably adopted it like all the other working professionals. ~AI~ is in the bubble phase and full of everyone that sucks from crypto and NFTs and all that garbage so it's real easy to dismiss and I don't blame anyone for doing so, but it is just a tool. So much of a tool it is literally built into Photoshop and Illustrator, right now. It's in the professional space and you are looking at tons of AI all the time and you don't notice.

Lol, so is it fair to say that getting rid of piracy was a big motivation behind the move to streaming for studios? It’d make too much sense if movie and TV studios destroy themselves because they were big mad at Pirate Bay

I honestly wonder if content mills like DiscussingFilm intentionally use dumb interpretations and show you how the quote doesn't back it up in hopes of getting hate-clicks from people who want to check and make sure that they are getting it wrong.
~discourse~ journalism is completely and utterly shattered. Everything is a content mill, google is broken and unable to cope with ad revenue collapse and everyone is running around as the ship sinks. Ad revenue is what broke it all, and now that its broken we're going to go even further and further into balkanized communities like SA here to actually get recommendations and suggestions while the social media zone constricts even harder to try to squeeze ever more blood from the people still there.

So yeah, anything to drive engagement. Hate and outrage are the most potent engagement tools.

Honestly???? $50M worldwide ($25 US, $25 international) on the first extended weekend is pretty incredible. If I were Sony, and I'm thinking streaming licensing and "expanding the cinematic universe" and getting to keep these rights, I'd be partying right now. I know the budget was pretty low, they might be thinking of this as a wash, at worst right now.

i hope he comes back too but apart from the ppl posting mad @ him in here there are others reporting him mad for ages. and it's ridiculous, to me, to react that way to him, but at some point it's either actively probe a bunch of people he annoys or ask him to not post about the videos

smite the whiners from the fuckin' sky because all of them make themselves the main character by whining about their posting experience in the RLM thread in GBS on Something Awful, it's absolutely ridiculous that this is a real and true thing that happens constantly, that they do this and don't get pantsed immediately is the real crime. See when a video they don't like gets posted, on anything, everytime.

Super strict rules about discussion is sub-reddit levels of moderation. There's still a line though. SA has a thread in CC for people who make videos and have a channel (https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3987059). Xjakk posting sometimes if he thinks he's got a good one can be ok, it would just help if he'd gotten better over time. Him putting up every video and posting production updates is too much.

I don't think this is true because I just glaze past the guy's post (he also just posted discussion stuff not related to his videos, remember) but I'd have to scroll past more than one post of people whining that xjakk posted at all. Just...don't watch his videos, don't reply to him, or just ignore him (using the handy feature) and then dang you don't even gota scroll past his post because it becomes a tiny-rear end line and you can instead read everyone else going "abloobaloo a person I don't like posted a thing I don't like"

I've never watched the dude's videos either but he isn't lovely and heck, that's good enough for me. Never not post.

It even rotates back in to grab the empty shell from Grant's hands.
