I believe with streaming the company pays a fee to have the content available to stream and then there are residuals when it is streamed by someone. Cutting the shows saves the upfront fee as the low stream count isn’t adding value since people aren’t streaming it. 

when something is “aired” on traditional network television, it runs alongside ads, which is how the station affords the licensing fees to air it in the first place. essentially under the old system, money was coming in every time something was aired on television. thats not the case with streaming. you collect a…

By writing down the value of the assets they can remove whatever cost of funds was used to fund the assets on the balance sheet. Unless you understand corporate finance that statement will appear equally confusing. But it’s the streaming business model that makes this possible - the costs to develop these properties…

I think the blurred lines in gender are part of the reason why "queer" is being used so frequently again. It's a more generalized catch-all now.

TBS just announced the fourth season of Miracle Workers for July 10th and The Lazarus Project which was supposed to debut in January starts tomorrow on TNT (wouldn’t count on a second season of that). Looks like they actually plan on airing some of that delayed stuff eventually, although TNT specifically announced…

And I’m *STILL* waiting for the 4th season of Snowpiercer to appear somewhere!

A sweet takeaway from the memoir is the affair he had with Kate Mara with her then-boyfriend’s Max Minghella’s approval. It’s a small thing and obviously private, but idk, it’s always cool when I see folks entering queer/non-orthodox relationships and have it work out to some extent. Page’s insight that he fell into a…

Does a degree from and curatorship at the Australian National University not count?

Page has actually shared a different story about Ratner being a complete shit to him in essentially the opposite way: When they were filming X-Men: The Last Stand, Page was eighteen at the time and not yet out as either trans or liking women, but Ratner said to a woman on set with them, re: Page, “You should fuck her…

Ratner… at the gym? Not a likely story.

Is this a joke? She went to school for art. Those were her first jobs, and that's why she talks about it on stage. 

Do people really expect her to willingly torpedo her hit show over some comments this guy made back in I think 2014 and which so far haven’t even been proven to be true?

Oh man, everyone’s favorite game of “a man did a shitty thing, so let’s pile on the women he knows...” If I was Ali Wong I wouldn’t have anything to say about Choe’s shit either, nor would I want a bunch of internet randos swarming my social media to demand I say something.

As angry as people get about jokes nowadays (see James Gunn), I’m guessing that Rob McElhenny wouldn’t have fired him if it wasn’t clearly harassment.

I don’t buy the “it was just a joke” defense 95% of the time, but at least with performers, it can be assumed they probably were doing a bit, and it bombed in a bad way. I’ve definitely said my share of things that I fully intended to come off as playful and funny, and landed directly in mean and shitty. Usually I…

Can’t someone be offended by a joke and just tell the joke teller it was a shitty joke, instead of trying to get the joke teller fired?

Joss Whedon was an asshole, but he wasn’t a paedophile or a sex pest.

I’d be fine transferring at least 50% of the Chris Pratt hate over to Levi. Both are disliked for being too creepy and hardcore about their religion, but Levi doesn’t receive nearly the backlash that Pratt does. 

He has had plenty of time to respond. “I am very pro-vaccine - I believe Pfizer makes monstrous profits that hurts people”  There, done.

I’m pretty disappointed with Reginald the Vampire. It needs to decide if it wants to be a comedy, a relationship drama, or a vampire show, because it’s not very good at any of them.
