So no Men in Black crossover?

That is very true, but won’t that happen way after the release? That’s usually when these headlines happen.

If you want to count a whole year, then yes it can technically be made up by other movies down the line for the whole studio, but it won’t change the fact that the movie would have been a failure, that’s how budgets work. The same goes for pretty much any business that has projects or quarters.

I tend to give any movie poster that isn’t a floating head already a +1. I think the concept is cool (assuming it actually does connect to the movie. Quality doesn’t look great from my phone, so I can’t tell if it’s the upload or if it just looks that way.

It’s more that if a movie costs $100 million to make, it’s usually $100 million in marketing. So it would need to make $200 million to break even. Making $180 million means someone lost $20 million dollars, so I wouldn’t really call it greedy. If the movies are not making the money then they’d need to just start reducing scope or just hope someone will keep bank rolling them.

Really crazy to me that’s all the money EEAAO made. It was such a praised movie that I assumed it did better. Part of me is sad A24 doesn’t make more money, but it also goes to show that you don’t always need a ton of money for good ideas.

Most commercials I’ve been on still do test shoots even with storyboards made. They just use iphones. And as for my direct industry, I’m in animation, storyboards are really essential since you can’t just create the whole project from the start. There is also definitely an art to doing storyboards, not ever artist I’ve worked with can do storyboards. I knew a few people whose career was just storyboards. So much can be discovered through storyboards, especially if all departments are involved.

In this specific instance, storyboard artists will lose jobs. I know this, because I am handed ai storyboards that would have otherwise been created by people we would hire. More and more of my clients are using ai boards, and just not hiring artists.

Same thing is happening with scripts. I haven’t hired a copywriter in about a year, since my clients are using ai for that as well. We also use ai, but I am aware that I sometimes have removed a role that I would normally have paid someone to do.

Ai will indeed remove some people’s roles in the equation.

As with all things ai, it’s debatable. One way or another someone loses a job. You could make the argument that someone just wouldn’t do a proper storyboard since they can’t afford it and create stick figures, but he for sure can afford storyboard artists.

Aren’t they very different stories?

I think this does work better for pocket watches. I have a couple of wrist watches like this and I always have to take it off to show how cool the back is, which I feel defeats the purpose. The pocket watch I own that has this look is very easy flip around.

The Sandlot

If you have a stationary job, then just plop a big ass water bottle with a straw on the desk between you and the keyboard for easy access. Water is the only thing I drink after only drinking iced tea every day until I was 18. Remove everything that isn’t water from your home. Turn your bottle into your fidget toy if you have to, having a straw helps even if you use it to open and close it. Hopefully before you know it you won’t even realize you’re drinking water. You don’t need to enjoy it. Same way people don’t enjoy medicine, you put up with because you’re an adult. If that seems too daunting, then you have some other demons you may need to tackle first before being able to get onto water.

This one right here is one of the best advices. Remove all other options. You’ll either drink the water or die from dehydration.

Not even a single laugh?

End goal for studios is probably for AMC and Regal to fail. This way they can go back to owning their own movie theaters.

It was in California, which gets very little rain, so the drain was clean. Thankfully it wasn’t that deep either, about 6 feet down. If it had been in a city with active waste going down the drain, I would have left it down there. I got into the bad habit of leaving my phone on my lap in the car. When I got out of the passenger seat, it fell on the grate and slowly slid through the cracks, I just missed catching it before it fell in.

I am very careful about always knowing where my phone is placed now.

I do, because I had my phone fall down the street drain. Thankfully it hadn’t rained in a while. I was able to open the manhole cover, drop down and grab it.

Aren’t movie theaters in the situation they are because of movie studios? I worked for one for a couple of years, and there’s very strict rules on how many rooms a movie needs to play in, how often, and the studios get most of the ticket sales in the first few weeks. It’s the reason advertising goes hard to get you into the door quickly. It’s also why advertising falls off towards the back end, because it starts benefiting the theater more.

More immediately, how many of them would put forth money to stop this? If all rich actors banded together, they could probably stir up a nice ruckus.
