juggalo baby coffin posted:theres a comic con panel (I think) where reporters are like 'season 1 was such a hit, what are you gonna do with the bigger budget for season 2?' and you just see darabont and everyone on the panel wince bc behind the scenes the budget got massively slashed. TWD ended up being AMCs golden goose despite their best efforts to murder it. I remember following the news about this. The story was that they cut the budget for season 2 by a ton because they were being strong-armed by the guy who made Mad Men in a contract renegotiation for the final seasons. It was either let it go to HBO or pay up.

DaysBefore posted:Oh yeah if that's true then they made the right call. Could've kept Darabont and made a shorter season for the same money I guess but hey, Forget it Me, it's Zombie SLop Town I wanted to look it all up since my memory is hazy. All this was about 12 years ago. So basically, there was a big bump for Matt Weiner who did mad men at the beginning of 2011. Jon Hamm got a big raise too. https://deadline.com/2011/03/matt-weiner-these-are-the-last-three-seasons-of-mad-men-119255/ TWD had its 1st season run at the end of 2010 with the 2nd season being produced in 2011 for an October premiere. The AMC president says the deal isn't effecting the other series before the 2nd season starts. https://deadline.com/2011/08/amc-president-on-breaking-bad-order-walking-dead-budget-mad-men-deal-153423/ quote:Deadline: Matt Weiner’s deal was very lucrative, estimated at $25 million-$30 million. How does that impact your investments in other programming? Kurt Sutter who made Sons of Anarchy blamed the deal for budget cuts. Again, before the premiere. https://ew.com/article/2011/08/12/kurt-sutter-twitter-amc-frank-darabont/ quote:Sutter took to Twitter in a series of messages that directly attacked AMC and Mad Men showrunner Matthew Weiner for their role in Darabont’s departure. He began: “why darabont got fired — weiner. he held AMC hostage, broke their bank, budgets were slashed, s— rolled down hill onto [Breaking Bad showrunner Vince] Gilligan and Frank.” Then the claws really came out: “no one else wants to f—ing say it, but the greed of Mad Men is killing the other two best shows on tv — breaking bad and walking dead.”

I didn't see it posted yet but this was from yesterday It happened again! Everyone's favorite bearded elderly aunt is back! But what is she wearing? Is that a loving one of a kind Star Trek The Next Generation costume?!? YES!!! Part two of the battle for Eternia is on you freaks! If you're worried about that Data uniform you should be. Mike is nearby with a bottle of beer and a not so pleasant disposition after possibly being beaten by Rich Evans again? Will the drunken, rage-filled moron take out his frustrations on a one of a kind screen used Star Trek costume (and his aunt) ?!? Part two of ten of Star Trek TNG trivia is coming soon!!!!!!!!

kalel posted:sorry, I'm not sure if you read the press release, but it's "groundbreaking" and "fair and ethical" to voice talent. you're supposed to applaud them for deigning to not let actors starve In one way, I can see how this could be a great thing for voice actors that are able to license a deepfake of their voice so that can make money without having to personally work. In another way, I can see how a lot of actors doing this would mean that new voice actors would never need to be hired for roles in the future.

Sex Farm posted:Holy poo poo the ending of the curse. I like some weird bullshit but not like this. I don't get it I'll repost here what I put in the tv iv thread. The biggest theme of the whole show was trying to "help" people in ways that don't help them or actively hurt them. It happens over and over throughout. Showing asher in need of help and the help others give him only making things worse and worse totally lines up with the theme. I get what you mean though. It seems like they could have done something still on that theme without being so strange with it. At least I can't say it was boring.

Jose Oquendo posted:Only a rumor at this point, but in news that will shock no one, the new Rey Skywalker movie has been put on hold indefinitely. Chuds online recently jumped on a clip of the director for that movie talking about her past documentary work about abused women in pakistan purposefully making men uncomfortable. I'm confident this is another fake rumor to tell people what they want to hear like every time there was a rumor Alex Kurtzman or Kathleen Kennedy was getting fired.

mysterious frankie posted:I don't understand this. She-Hulk was one of MANY new shows that were produced in that year. How much did all of those shows cost to produce, cumultaviely? How much did staffing for the streaming platform cost? Advertising? Servers and data? How many people are signed up for the platform? Did they assume that their offerings of safe, culturally identifiable slop would get humanity so excited that we'd divide via mitosis into additional adult people who would then themselves immediately subscribe so that they could also be the first to see Man-Guy, Guy-Man, Dark-Guy, She-Lady, Moon-Person, Space Time: Season 4 (part 1), The Simpsons, etc etc etc? The key word with posts like this is "reportedly." Who reported it? Was the person or media outlet reliable? A reporter with no integrity might have guessed and then other websites now say that it's been reported as the truth. It all just becomes this game of telephone between clickbait media. This particular number can be traced back to a Variety article on Marvel's situation from November, but it's literally a single uncited sentence, "All the while, Marvel was bleeding money, with a single episode of "She-Hulk" costing some $25 million, dwarfing the budget of a final-season episode of HBO’s “Game of Thrones, ” but without a similar Zeitgeist bang."

Arc Hammer posted:The anger over this stuff is depressing because if you leave it all to directorial intent then whatever they say was "always the intended vision" loses meaning. Lucas always intended for Greedo to say Maclunkey. The Raid was always supposed to look like a 4K restoration rather than how it first released. I get what you mean, but then you have people colorizing black-and-white movies using the same reasoning. Some people take it too far.

quote:This was discovered in a pile of rubbish at the bottom of one of our trash bins. It's the score sheet for our very first Star Trek The Next Generation Trivia battle. This was, of course, before Mike lost by misunderstanding (or overthinking one might suggest) the final question, thus nullifying all of his winning up to this point. This piece of paper is a testament to a moment in time before Mike would return in the second episode and beat Rich Evans rear end into oblivion. Now, some at RLM INC™ have suggested "we've done too much TNG trivia" and that "we should wait 6 months to a year before we do part 3 of 10" to that I say, "Bollocks!" what do YOU think? Should Mike wipe the floor with Rich's flop sweat again? Let us know. - Krebs Gorlon

I was 10 when it came out. Even though I liked it after seeing it, I knew it wasn't as good as anything in the OT, but I just didn't know how to explain why. I don't think this is nostalgia bait as much as it's trying to emulate the special edition rerelease in 97. That was a move to reintroduce the series to a new generation and I took it hook line and sinker as a kid. This isn't for adults, this is for the 8 year olds today who weren't born when TFA came out.

LanceHunter posted:Yeah, but even the 8 years olds of today are not buying their own tickets to go to the movie theater. The special edition re-release in 1997 was to introduce a new generation, but it relied on the parents who had good feelings about the OT to bring their kids along for the experience. I get what you mean, but I think you're underestimating marketing. If little kids see pre-roll ads for episode 1 in front of mr beast enough times, they're going to start thinking the movie looks awesome and ask their parents to bring them.

Hackers film 1995 posted:i remember liking about 25% of the phantom menace when i saw it in the theater. the podrace and the final battle with darth maul with duel of the fates i thought were great as a teenager. the rest of the movie was always dogshit to me. i was also the sucker who watched eps 2 and 3 in the theater just to see if they got better. i also watched all of the sequel trilogy in the theater because i am just a fuckin rube haha. star wars eps 1-9 is like 22 hours of movies, and only like 6 hours is good. I remember seeing the pod race as a kid and thinking "this is neat, but why aren't they doing spaceship fights instead?" My vague memories tell me that I didn't understand the plot or conflict in the story at all, and half way through the Tatooine parts, I wanted them to get to the star war already.
