This just in: Sony doesn't like money.

Sony Group has laid off 250 people from the recordable media business manufacturing hub, amid a decline in demand for traditional storage formats. Sony will also "gradually cease production of optical disc storage media products, including Blu-ray discs" according to sources.

Make no mistake, Zaslav made the strategic decision to greenlight a movie, shoot it, edit it, and then decided not release it because he wanted a tax break. Make no mistake, making sure people's work never sees the light of day is not courageous. It's cowardice.

David Zaslav says scrapping films for tax write-offs took courage. “What content is going to help us win? The content that wasn’t, we made a strategic decision on. It was difficult & painful... But it was necessary.” (Source: theverge.com/2023/11/29/239…)

I hope Oppenheimer being constantly sold out everywhere on 4k and Blu Ray tells Best Buy their decision to stop selling physical movies is fucking stupid

What a hilarious move for SyFy to play Crimes of Grindelwald and then follow it up with Prisoner of Azkaban


Me: I don't know if this story has enough momentum for a feature Also me: *Finishes the script with 107 pages*

Showrunners! I’m gonna ask that you read/keep in mind/staff new-ish writers who’ve got samples on deck! Especially folks with assistant/room experience. I’ve been in 2 rooms. I have 3 produced “written by” credits (animation) & WA exp on 1HR drama. We’re here! Ready to work 🙏🏾

‘SUITS’ is the most watched series over the past 10 weeks, drawing over 30 billion minutes viewed However, Netflix’s refusal to make a fair deal with writers & actors means those involved with the series receive little to no residuals Support writers today by sharing #WGAStrong

He does. It’s an old Disney scam where they slightly rename a series to reset contract terms back to first season. Needs to be addressed by all the guilds/unions and crushed!

And not only did they cancel Daredevil once crew got full raise and holiday/vacation pay…. The Disney+ reboot is back to season one IATSE contract terms. It’s a fucking scam. I wonder if @stevendeknight knows that!



*Crazy* idea but what if @AMCTheatres actually enforced the "no phones" policy like the Alamo Drafthouse? I feel like right now there's about a 75% chance that someone (after paying $20+ for a ticket) pulls out their phone in the middle of the movie
