They should.  SAG members should absolutely be complaining about these waivers, since they will only prolong the strike.

You really are a moron.

It’d almost be impressive how much you get wrong, if it wasn’t blatantly obvious you’re doing it on purpose.

For the love of all that’s holy, can a moderator please ban this waste of bandwidth please?

THIS.

I’ll watch Critical Drinker because he can be entertaining and occasionally insightful, but he’s definitely suffering from a bit of audience capture.

Being the theme park fan you are, I’m assuming you’ve seen the video walkthroughs of Alien Encounter.  It obviously can’t replace actually being there, but I’ve seen a few that do a pretty good job of capturing all of it.  If you haven’t, I’d go check them out.

It was thoroughly un-Disney. And it was (at least briefly, IIRC) originally going to not just be “Alien Encounter” but Alien Encounter. Like, licensing the xenomorph from Fox (which they didn’t own at the time). That fell through, but the concept remained (and was pretty obvious to anyone who was paying attention). I…

The Disney now is much more safe than Disney used to be, especially in the 70s and 80s. Walt was never worried about making stuff intense for kids- go watch the forest sequence in Snow White, Malificent turning herself into a dragon while declaring she’ll bring “all the powers of Hell” with her, or ten minutes of Chern…

Prompting a collective bored shrug from even the pop culture junkies of the world. The Emmys have basically become the Grammys:

You need to be on the internet less.

Same.

Aranofsky’s movies are basically really big budget student films, made with Oscar winning actors.  That doesn’t mean they have to be bad, but they’re rarely more deep or complex than they look at first blush.  

I regret that I have but one star to give for this post.

Or, third option, he doesn’t really care whether it helps the company or not.  He’s just got more money than literally anyone else in the world, so he just does whatever dumb fucking thing comes into his head, and a bunch of people say yes because it’s literally all they have to do to be in the 1% (maybe even the…

I don’t know how old you are, but I wouldn’t hold your breath on that last bit. If the tech-bro idiots get there way and start getting AI into everything without at least some kind of idea how they’re going to keep people who’s jobs they eliminate busy/employed/fed, then the guillotines might be coming a lot sooner…

Certainly hope you’re right.

This is me choosing to believe you’re being dramatic for comedic effect, so I can laugh along with you.

Because if you really think I’m trying to debate anything... let alone you being as worked up as you’re coming off because I misquoted “wasn’t any worse than it was” into “as good as it was” (synonymous expressions,…

Yeah, $125-150 seems like the average for a studio tentpole nowadays. Superhero films and big action movies like Mission Impossible seem to be ticking in at 200M or more pretty regularly.  It’s nuts.

You’re probably not wrong, though if someone told me that actors take significantly smaller salaries to be part of a Nolan movie, that wouldn’t surprise me either. Don’t get me wrong, $100 million is a plenty big budget, and lots of superhero movies get made for that (the first Wonder Woman, for example). It’s just…

If you spend money on something because people you don’t like don’t like it, you’re an idiot.

You’re obviously new here (and not just because you clearly made a profile to make this one comment). Snark and innuendo are kind of the whole point of this site. There was a point where they did it a lot better, but it’s still the basic concept.
