I finally saw it yesterday. It’s… a movie. There were a lot of things I liked about it, but the storytelling was kind of a mess. I don’t even mean the plot, because it’s a movie based on a game series famous for having simple plots. It’s fine to have a simple story, but that story should still be easy to follow, and…

lol penetrate

FWIW, a physical disc is essentially also a license for a copy. Not that a digital download shouldn’t cost less because there’s no manufacturing and packaging costs and the nature of digital goods makes it easier for companies to control what they sell you after you’ve licensed it, but they’ve essentially always been…

But because the production refused to hire a unionized prop manager? That’s the part that makes very little sense to me. If something is filmed at the production quality of a Marvel show, they are using a union camera crew, union hair and make-up, union set dressing - pretty much everyone but the PA’s, VFX, and…

It kinda depends how you define a career and “the arts.” The most stable careers in the film and television industry, where I work, are mostly skilled-based jobs like grips and teamsters (a strong union helps). But there are only so many truly creative “artistic” roles - mostly department heads - and many people…

it kind of looks like Batman Begins sans Batman.

Others want to place their own embargo on publications (even if said publication did not publish follow-up stories until well into the next day, unlike others)

Ah, never change, Sony.

This. Sarah Snook is fantastic. Shiv Logan is just as unqualified to take over Waystar Royco and every bit as awful a person as her brothers.

You said it was because it was cheaper to to pay a graphics sweatshop to add in a gun than it is to pay a unionized prop manager (which on its face doesn’t make any sense; they absolutely had to have a unionized prop manager on set or the unions for the other departments wouldn’t have let the scene be shot), but the…

And it was because they they didn’t want to pay a unionized prop manager? On a Marvel production? I’m gonna’ Google that...

Prior to the cellphone it was a reasonable career path to be a photographer for a media outlet or for stock photos. Now, the only real career path is wedding photographer it high end fashion/media photographer. All of the entry and mid level photography positions are gone.

So many little stupid things get CGI’d, like having an actor hold a stick and then CGIing in a gun later because it’s cheaper to pay a graphics sweatshop to add in a gun than it is to pay a unionized prop manager.

“This is one of the many issues I think are best left up to elected officials at the state level, and it should not be adjudicated in the court,” she said.

Uh… okay, but like… I mean… it’s Finland. And I’m sure she had handlers or some other way for people to pull her if a national emergency really erupted. I was more speaking to the fact that her COVID alerts were tied to her work phone, instead of a phone she had on her 24/7. COVID isn’t “work,” it’s a public health…

They know who they’re voting for. They want this. Fuckers.

The Southeastern Climbers Coalition has a lot of power previously unknown to us working class folk.

And? The post didn’t specify an expiration date on talking about Trump. If AVC’s article was specifically a Newswire about his arrest, I wouldn’t even bat an eye. It’s pretending like covering what other people said about it like it’s not covering Trump that struck me as dishonest.
