Listening to the Blank Check podcast, nice to see all three of the guys on the latest ep are Roman J. Israelites.

It is impressive if both those rumored budget are close to the truth, but if  Del Toro does not make it for guild minimum and do not pay himself for the pre-production development that would not have been true.... I doubt Bad Robot would make a franchise movie for free like that.

 

Not looking at below the line cost when judging on screen result  (if that what they have in mind) can be very misleading.

 

Cloverfield working title name was Clean Pass and it's qualified California cost was of only 19.282m (with a 3.9m tax credit coming up), only 3 million more than a movie like Battle of the Sexes, :

And maybe IMDB does not have all the locations, but it seem to have been shot only there:

Would not surprise me if the below the line cost for both movie were not that dissimilar.

 

P.S. Looking at that list there is a giant Paramount title planned, code called Island Plaza (100m below the line cost just in Cal.), 73 days of shoot there alone, does anyone know what that would be ?

 

 

 

 

It was funny, who cares how true it is?

Hot take: studying helps calm you down big time before an exam. I went into studying thinking I'd get like a 40, but now I'm fairly confident in at least an 80 (there's two questions I need to research a bit more because they're long reads).

Outside Paramount and Del Toro ? Not sure (and that bring the question why the media talk about movie budget and this message board every day like if we do)

So you studied for an exam and now think that because of this extra knowledge you gained you might get more marks in that exam than you were expecting to before you studied?

HOLD THE PHONE!

 

If this is true, how come I walked in blind to my Comm final a few years ago and made a 100 but studied 2 days for the Calculus final and only cracked a 95? HMM?

[That One Girl]

studying actually makes you dumber.

Thank god.

Gave Man on the Moon a rewatch.  Remains a favorite.  Kind of a shame we didn’t get much from Milos Forman after

Very much Japanese. Korean TV is much more sensible

Netflix is kinda the worst, isn't it?  I've been saying this for years.  Horrible TV shows (the good ones go to shit after S1). Horrible movies.  Quantity over quality.
