This is the most on brand thing to see about Peter I could have ever expected. I am 0% shocked.

Dude, I hold shares in the company and have for some time (before they were outed as a company full of creeps). I would directly benefit from them being profitable and even I’m “no, this shit is wrong”. The logic behind this is unethical and as you yourself mention it’s a scam. I want companies I am involved with as a…

No, unless it’s “transformative” it would not fall under fair use.

I don’t want to guess at his success as he’s defied expectations before but I could really see it going either way. The property has been stagnant for so long I could see a real lack of interest but there’s always gawkers and that can create buzz in it’s own way. I don’t know how it’s going to fall but he really is a…

It sounds incredibly 90s which is fine because it was in the 90s but also basically like every origin story movie. Cameron is one of those odd ducks, I like a handful of his movies but some of their successes defy logic (Avatar) and as a human he comes across as kind of a jerk (the Netflix These Are The Movies That…

Yes $30 million is a lot BUT it’s the pilot where they would be building out a ton of sets and props and creating a lot of assets. That cost would generally have been deferred over the cost of the remainder of the season once filming fell into a cadence of production and being able to reuse assets. For this scale of…

The reason she even has to speak to this illustrates how many people haven’t even read the book. Stuff like this frustrates me.

That’d be neat but likely not, most of this stuff is super confidential and locked away (for fear of lawsuits to get a slice should someone try and make something elsewhere else if it gets rejected but they have a cut of development costs). Occasionally it gets leaked like Deadpool and that turned out all right but…

As a collective many of our number are very forgetful unless they feel personally slighted. In the case of EA, Epic and Microsoft these are all companies where they’ve done something that they feel (right or wrong) personally impacted them. Not something as esoteric as treating employees like shit but had…

Yup and there’s a reason why there’s only one product I’ve bought published by them in decades and that was an external studio. The man is a horrible human being. Glad this is all resurfacing and hopefully he’s held to some kind of account.

There was likely a pitch document based off the backs of the existing characters. Probably some concept art and some script outlines. That’d be the bare minimum but for a spin off that’s a pretty standard launch platform.

Knowing people who’ve worked with and for Japanese firms this all scans.

He didn’t work for Activision, he worked for Bungie. He was a nightmare to work with and fired with cause, he was held in contempt of court and literally violated the terms of his settlement. That the judge didn’t rescind any financial aspects of the settlement was an act of mercy.

It’s work for hire, if it was done in the process of making the score it’s not his. He was a contractor.

That’s the thing I’m finding funny about all these rebels rushing off to pirate the music because of Big Bad Bungie. This guy was, by some accounts, a nightmare to work with (and look at his great big project with Paul McCartney which is now a literal joke in the game). Given the recent revelations about all the bad…

This is the first MCU adjacent film I’ve not seen in the theatres and now I regret it. This looks far more charming than the original movie. The first one wasn’t bad it just didn’t click (it felt like a relic from late 90s/early 2000s comic book movie making which isn’t bad just not for me). Man, now I can’t wait for…

The Game of Thrones material is just weird. I can see a lot of the other stuff but that’s just... a strange fit. That said the Animaniacs better be in it! Also, wasted opportunity to call it Super Smash Warner Brothers!

I have a friend who has worked on several major productions (was released from one for reporting abuse). They have been suffering directly over these issues, for example they were working over 80 hours a week and getting 5 hour turn arounds (which when factoring in returning home from production that is often outside…

It’s not in the film but all of the above is in literally every single trailer and press item since launch. It’s even established in the teaser. It’s not a spoiler.

He’s a total a-hole but I’ve made that face at fancy jackets I wished I could afford and during my peak goth phase they weren’t much less silly. I wont hold this against him.
