I have a feeling SAG is going to get all their major demands met ( ai and residuals)

It's a damn shame the strike is going on because Netflix has two pretty big things coming up in August.

 

To start the month they have the second season of Heartstoppers which is a critically acclaimed very charming lgbt series and to end the month they have live action One Piece which looks really freaking good and is seeing a massive positive spin and ton of viewership on trailers to build the hype.

 

It's a shame none of the actors in any of those projects can promote the shows upcoming seasons.

 

I'm sure One Piece will get a second season because simply put Netflix doesn't have the big thing they want yet. Witcher when Cavill leaves is gonna tank. Stranger Things has one more season. If Cowboy Bebop did not completely suck it probably would have gotten a season two but they got the tone completely wrong with that show. One Piece looks immensely loyal to the source material also the fandom for that is so damn massive it's gonna be hard to believe it won't get the viewership. They're even giving anyone that doesn't like the dub cast the chance to listen to the original japanese cast for the subs.

 

Heartstoppers got renewed for S2/S3 all at once. 

It helps that the showrunner of one piece matt owens is a massive fan of the series

NASCAR saw a different movie.
Was it the Mojo Dojo Casa House or Low-T Ken?

 

 

Well considering that driver is historically known for whining... I'd say Low-T. ( im saying this from having seen his entire run in the top series.)

EC confirming he still lurks here.

In the meantime lets make fun of his TERRIBLE TAKES on the strike. 

PS: EC since we know you will read this. Hope you enjoy being known as a an buttkisser for the studios

So what's y'alls favorite Drake and Josh episode? The episode where they bet over video games and junk food is probably mine. The episode where they performed The Blues Brothers was also iconic.

 

 

The one where they run over Oprah

Can someone explain to me how this Tweet makes sense?

$498 million/5 years = $99.4 million a year

Like, I agree executives need to get a pay cut, but let's not pretend $450 million = $99.4 million

 

These bullshit comparisons also hurt those striking because even people who aren't good at math know that 1 year and five years are two different amounts of time.

 

And for a journalist, it's really weird not to add commentary.

You need to remember that SAG has 160,000 members.

Your list was quite the treat, because I only recognized like...15 of the movies you chose lmao. I am very curious about "The Batman vs. Dracula". A title like that screams "best movie ever made".

Oh I remember that one. The Batman was underrated series. The shows take on characters like Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy and The Riddler was unique.

Iger is not Bill Belichik. He's more Jeff Fischer. 

 

Sure he'd be very pursued by other media companies. He'll give you short term strength at the cost of long term health. Like most business executives. 

I mean look at Belichick with and without TB12. It's a fair comparison imo

Folks are falling for the budget discussions hook, line, and sinker. How can we have a serious discussion about how actors and writers need to be paid their dues, but in the next breath continue to talk about how budgets are too high and that streaming services will fold, or even worse, need to fold? 

 

I hate MovieBob but he has a point and the fact that so many folks want to say "don't post him here" instead of talking about what he's saying is very telling.

I mean the AI proposal is enough strike on alone.

He just generally isn't very well-informed on anything but still goes on rage-filled threads attacking other critics, most users on film-twitter and preaches for eugenics every other day. It's incredibly, insanely doubtful that he'd have anything meaningful to say on the strikes since he's not much more than a grifter and doesn't have much knowledge of the industry. So, just imagine an angrier, less intelligible version of emp*recity and then you'd get him

@ZattMurdock I have a friend who had a run-in with him on twitter a year or so ago. This is 100% correct

From a business perspective, cancelling batgirl was the correct decision. From an artistic perspective? Maybe not. The mistake he made was not cancelling the Flash also and sending Shazam 2 and Blue Beetle to MAX. All the Keaton nostalgia bait movies should have been cancelled.

 

No marketing campaign in the world could have saved Flash, It got a B CS, it was universally hated by audiences. Maybe it would have done Shazam 2 numbers without the astroturf campaign they ran.

 

All of these rich CEOs are overpaid by a ridiculous degree. Yet until now no one cared how overpaid Iger was. The fact Deadline used Iger as their anti-union spin agent proved that people are just biased to him despite being a major asshole.

 

I don’t think the Max transition has really hurt the service, the anger seems to mostly be on niche online circles. and not transcend to reality

 

Fair enough, all these guys are garbage, I know that, but I don’t know why people are so happy that Iger has returned to Disney. it’s not like he has done much improve Disney. He seems to be making a lot of vague promises he has been making but not following up on them. For example, saying that less Star Wars content is needed right after dating 3 Star Wars movies in a 2 year span. 

On iger's return: imagine how much worse the CNBC interview would have been if Bob Chapek would have done it
