IDK. When a debt-ridden studio like WB hires a Gunn (ex-Troma) and a Safran (Conjuring movies), you'd think they're looking for a slate filled with mid-budget genre programmers! Not a $185 million Supergirl movie from Craig Gillespie!

You know your financial future is looking bright when you’re talking up all the money you’re gonna save by not buying fancy sandwiches!
Skydance has uncovered “tens of millions” of dollars in luxury hospitality spending under the former Warner Bros. Discovery regime, including expenses for dining, travel and gifts, according to two sources: • The former WBD regime spent in ways big and small — like stacks of receipts for sandwiches and green juices from the gourmet grocery store Erewhon • The company expects to save “millions” by reducing spending on outside vendors, studio services and redundant marketing budgets • One source even suggests press junkets will be revamped Read the full cover story: wp.me/pc8uak-1lI5Jm

One big issue in this country is there’s a massive disconnect between what someone needs to make hourly to pay rent and bills comfortably and what older people see as an absurdly high wage for an hourly worker.
$18/hour, permanently with no chance of a raise for THREE YEARS, is why myself and at least 4 other guys I know decided that being an electrician wasn’t the move. In 2022.

Ignoring the obvious issues with cinematic universes/this article, Gunn/Safran screwed up (or were screwed by) rushing out a Supergirl-sized movie first. Instead of more Clayface-ish ones. Like, she's not more popular than Clayface? So why spend $150/185 million on faith?

If Clayface had flopped with the same budget : box office ratio as Supergirl did, it would’ve still lost Warner Brothers $180-$200 million less. lol

Rest In Peace to the incredible Stacy Keach. Seen here in some of my favorites of his: Brewster McCloud, Fat City, The Long Riders, and Roadgames.

Replying to @GemOfAmara
One of the reasons Dreamworks collapsed was the extreme dysfunction of a studio where top execs are also working creatives! You either end up with them backseat driving/hijacking productions, or talented people going "I'm not taking notes from the guy who [wrote/directed] etc".

there are 2 official fundraisers - both official - and I put links to them in my linktree: linktr.ee/owloil
A GoFundMe has been launched to support Eric Bauza’s son, Ryker, and Ryker’s mother, Jessica Borutski, following his sudden passing. 🤍 Organized by Oliver and Natasha Vaquer, the fundraiser has raised $44.8k of its $70k goal. If you’re able, please consider donating or sharing to help the family. (link: gofundme.com/f/support-for-r…)

Genuinely impossible to talk about Bond online because a huge contingent of the fandom literally refuses to believe people actually like Daniel Craig. It can't just be "other people enjoy these movies but I don't". They either straight up deny it or say it's an anti-Bond psyop.
Yeah I remember it too. One decent film followed by three duds, culminating in probably the worst outing of all time. No other Bond actor has such a poor dud/good ratio. Craig is the Bond for people who don't actually like Bond

Not even into Skyfall, but I can acknowledge it was the most popular entry since Thunderball, and why Spectre/NTTD emulated it A slightly grim tone and cool color palette stuck onto a typical Bond yarn with evil lairs/tuxedos/quips/sex/etc do not an anti-Bond deconstruction make
