It’s not a sunken cost. It’s the opposite. It’s a saved cost. That’s the point. They don’t have to pay the other $50 million because no content is being created.

“all the shit I wanna see is parceled away on different streaming services. It would be nice if they had some reduced rate/VOD option so I could just watch the stuff I wanted to without signing up for the rest of it (and probably forgetting to cancel before the next month).”

From the article it sounds like Schumer wrote Barbie to be an ambitious inventor, which is pretty feminist. But then she was disappointed by the subsequent rewrites that dumbed the character down, making it less feminist. So Schumer was asked to leave the project because her version was not feminist, even though she…

I’m an elected representative of my Union and it seems to me that this is a failure on the part of the Union Leadership team, and not the rank and file. If the strike organizers have done a poor job explaining why they are going on strike -- and why everyone needs to show solidarity to support the movement — then they…

Right. Including being harassed by actual members of FaZe Clan, like FaZe Rain. Weird for this interview — especially the introductory prologue — not to mention any of those issues.

“I don’t understand any of this.”

“Drescher, Crabtree-Ireland, Whitehair, and the rest of UFS are nothing but studio lapdogs who will negotiate yet another contract that screws working actors.”

These are not mutually exclusive concepts. Creators have a lot more freedom now because there are so many more possible outlets that can distribute their work. But “more freedom” does not mean “unlimited freedom in every sense.”

“Foreman, who, by most accounts and measures, is every bit the swell guy”

Gary Oldman and Castlevania are good choices.

“Sadist” is a noun, not an adjective. The headline should read either “wanted the camera to feel sadistic” or “wanted the camera to feel like a sadist.”

Of course Trump should be punished. I agree. I never said otherwise. I don’t understand your argument.

“What exactly is the benefit to society...”

Passed out, texting, heckling. It seems like this person is just generally unhappy in life.

Right. And not only have Jack’s other bands been less successful, but the White Stripes were one of the biggest bands in the world at their peak. Exactly how much more successful could they get?

From Stahelski’s interview, it looks like he is suggesting making the switch would cost the “prop houses, armorers or supply houses” money to switch over, not the actual movies, productions, or studios. 

From his interview: “And for prop houses, armorers or supply houses to switch over, it would make their entire stock of real firearms useless. It comes down to the fact that it would cost certain people a great deal of money to switch over.”

This does not look like an example of flawless play. X moved first and conceded the center square, which would be the flawless first move.

That tends to be the case with any new form of technology or societal advance. I know when television first came out, people said it would rot your brain. And when the internet first started, people were told to avoid meeting people from the internet because it would be dangerous. And when rock music first got…

I’ve seen it in films where they have a stuntperson perform a dangerous or physically difficult act, and they swap in the actor’s face. I remember it distinctly for the figure skating movie Ice Princess back in 2005 where they superimposed Michelle Trachtenberg’s face over another skater. I think they also did similar…
