I’m just waiting to see what the scab projects are that’ll be picked up. If any.

My Lord inquisitors or the Farms. How can you not see the Heresy that is being played out before our very eyes? How the nobility of this world spits in the eye of the divine commands of the God Emperor? They would wield the abominable intelligence in lieu of the perfection that is the human mind, and replace the soul of man with the cogitation of a perfidous machine. Even the most perverse of the mechanicus knows that a machine is sinply a tool of the greater mind. it is not a replacement of it. Death is too great a mercy for the architects of this heresy.

I hope all humans get replaced by machines, it would probably be an improvement, and I'm not just talking about replacing their jobs.

Yes, good goyim, support the corpos!

My brother in christ, writer's making sick burns towards the working class 24/7 while making 10x their take home ARE the corpos.

When I hear talk about residuals, all I wonder is how much money is actually in play when it comes to residuals.

I do have to wonder if the stock market bots are the only ones that are propping up the stock market. Because it isn't savvy business decisions helping people's stonks.

It was always printed money from QE that did. The real US economy died in 2008 and is a corpse being puppeted by the Fed Reserve.

Found this out from Disparu's video on jewtube (at 5:03, too lazy to article link).

One of the last straws that led to the actors strike was the union "demanding 2% of revenue generated by streaming services". If i'm understanding this right, these clownfucks who mock and moralfag at everyone (usually to cover how shitty they did on the project) before, during and after each project they're on.....want guaranteed pay from the distributor no matter how badly they screwed the project's and by extension the streaming service's earnings and marketing?

If that's the case, no wonder they said no. Streaming money is already proving hard to get returns on. Having to pay the idiots who made getting returns harder would be retarded.

Generation X onwards certainly seems like it's stuck in a kind of cultural cul-de-sac or plateau, where everything is either a sequel, spinoff, or reboot of something that they had seen before. Another video by Retroblasting touched on this phenomenon as well.

Great idea honestly.

It's not a bad idea. Especially since the ghibli movies do screenings of their catalogue all the time. Combined with a few small studio releases, there won't be any staleness. I suggest also giving second chances to flops/cult classics due to overshadowing from the bigger studios as a big "i lived bitch" to them.

I've wondered it too. I don't know if I can dig it up but I remember one writer showing of their residual check from streaming for 3 cents. They didn't say for what show it was or how many episodes it was for or even what streaming service it was. I wanna say that I looked up their IMDB and they only had a handful of credits of things I've never heard of before. Since they're almost all unionized I would have to imagine that there's some sort of industry standard but I don't know if those are publicly available.

What do you think?

I agree but not so much because of stuck culture, which is a problem, but because I'm so sick and Goddamned tired of remakes and soft reboots and stories continuing long after they should've stopped and all made by idiots who have no idea what made the original great. This thing that I used to love, I would see a new movie every single week before the 2020 shutdown, is now just drivel designed to make me clap when I see it.

The current licensed rights holders for those in the US are retards and I wouldn't give them my money, but yeah it's not a stretch to say everything sucks now and I'd rather watch older films.

The only real obstacle is if the folks behind these films that’ll be potentially screened could refuse on a form of solidarity with the strikers. Even if you go WAY back and get films where everyone involved is dead, someone’s estate could make a move to prevent a screening.

Probably won’t happen, but that’s the only real thing I could see stopping this “just screen old films” idea from coming to pass if the idea is pursued.

Think most theaters, if not all of them, showcase older films for weekly events. It was how I watched Back to the Future for the first time, local theater was showing it one night and the family wanted to go even though we own the trilogy on DVD. It's just honestly better to experience movies on the silver screen, as intended, surrounded by other eager moviegoers.

What if..they did like..showings of old TV shows too.

Like..I would pay 10 bucks to go see Goodbye, Farewell and Ah-men on the big screen with a bunch of Boomers.

It's exploiting comfort binge watching, to a whole new and unnecessary level. There's nothing wrong with binge watching as long as you're not doing unhealthy shit, but the whole psychology behind binge watching is getting thrilled at the twists and turns yet still knowing everything will be okay/you know the outcome. However, we don't need shit remakes, especially pozzed garbage that shoves messages down your throat and reminds us how shit real life is.

On that cultural level, everything artistic/film whatever is at a plateau because of so many factors. Economically, prices are going up and a Great Recession made every investor too fucking scared to dare to loan money out. Artistically, the institutions are so head up their ass that they fucking allowed nothing to be shown at the Museum of Art in New York City as an artistic presentation, all the while huffing their own farts and not acknowledging the changing times. Overt cynicism and skeptic scumfuckery fester any creative personality chosen by Hollywood these days. Other shit people are too proud and clingy to challenge because "it's safe that way" while their ship is still sinking.

I don't mind remakes. Do something creative with something that was poorly done and do it better.

Am I the only one who thinks binge-watching is retarded. How is one supposed to process what they watched when they're constantly bombarded by the next?

A&N thread about trees being trimmed where strikers are walking. Quite amusing.
