One doesn’t have to wonder, one just needs to learn accounting. They’re not “profiting” off of this move. The costs of the shows were always there, it’s just they were amortized over the expected “life” of the show. Instead of say $100m over 10 years = $10m per year, they’re pulling the entire remainder to the current…

Right? People are just doing it for fun and are curious how AI reacts, not because they are trying to correct the original’s artistic vision or anything so grand.

$250m is the production budget. The marketing budget is separate and estimated at over $100m.

He gave an interview on why and how he left, and how he was able to take LTT with him.

Tax write-off. For shows, companies typically amortize the cost annually over its expected lifetime. If it’s removed with years remaining on its “life”, the remainder can now be recognized all at once against other profits. They also save money by not having to pay any more residuals.

Toyota’s, and other Japanese automakers’, reluctance to jump in hard on EVs have more to do with the deep integration of the automobile parts manufacturing supply chain to the country’s economy. They have been taking a much slower approach, and even looking more at FCEVs not necessarily because they are better, but…

I didn’t read all of the article, but I wanted to thank you for not making it a slideshow.

No Milwaukee Bucks 2022-23 Season there?

Bloomberg also confirmed Netflix’s claim that Squid Game is the biggest show of all time, but further analysis found that the show did not crack the list of most watched original shows on Netflix in terms of minutes watched last year

Teslas are pieces of shit because their drivers are dangerous? Huh?

No, it’s 70s Black Lightning and Rogue.

Maybe you should learn what “opening Pandora’s Box” means.

Thank you. Like bad movies would only happen because this mediocre one made money.

Hate to break it to you, but there are a lot of products that are used for surveillance by law enforcement that weren’t designed for that use.
