Plain Old Tele

I just found out THE DISSIDENT got in — it’s a documentary about Kashoggi and his murder by the Saudis. It’s by the guys who did ICARUS — I know some of them!

I’m sorry to hear that. Is there another place you can submit your reviews for possible publication?

It’s gonna average around 2m gross per minute.

We have an ongoing IMAX thread in the Speakeasy: Also, the LF Examiner site has some data (though some of it is out of date: http://www.lfexaminer.com/theaUSA.htm http://www.lfexaminer.com/theaintl.htm

Nah, with television/streaming production (and even post-production) have completely wrapped by the time episodes air. Whether episodes are released individually or collectively, it doesn’t really matter for that season.

Not the @CJohn ranking system?

Potter nerds... do you agree? @Noctis

TV would be ancillary revenue for an indie production company, after their film was bought by a distributor. There’s no standard distribution deal: typically a distributor will pay an upfront price (up to or exceeding production budget) and then once that amount is exceeded by revenue, the following profits are split up between original investors and distributor. (Not split down the middle, but the investors could expect something like 20% back from those profits). Amazon (and other streamers) basically are very aggressive with their distribution offers (since they have all the power): it’s now rare for them to cover production expenses up front.

^^ how did you assign numbers to the grades?

Yesssss! I second what Pink said. Take your time. Wander around and just hang out in the world, don’t rush through the missions at all. Almost all my favorite moments have nothing to do with the main story.

Howdy Jack. Good to see you.

Gosh, I'm so sorry. My heart goes out to you and all those who knew them. My deepest condolences.

Ugh, I'm sorry... and yet, yeah, certainly not the worst news. Hopefully it's pretty treatable and you can get on with living your life without too many restrictions.
