@hughlaurie @jan_murray I loved 2 things about House.

1 - Dr. House was a "nice" sociopath. I identified with that.
2 - The show clearly demonstrated the diagnostic process. As a software engineer, I found it beautiful.

@ChadWhit1k @SydneyLWatson @gothgfdotrip Marketing is part of the team, too. It's their job to tell people why they should see this film.

The question was about fairness. I tried to clarify the terms of the fairness equation.

Usually the question is sidestepped. Investors risk loss of their entire investment in exchange for claiming all the profits. The workers get guaranteed pay for the work they do, but incur no risk.

@ChadWhit1k @SydneyLWatson @gothgfdotrip If nobody performs poorly, the film has a good chance of getting the budget covered, and maybe some profit. See the condition for success.

[Steve McQueen @BlueCheckSRM]

@MoviesMerica @SydneyLWatson @gothgfdotrip Not a direct answer, no.

If everybody has to contribute quality, it may be fair to share the profits. If any one person can create a catastrophic failure point, how can one hold everyone else responsible?

@danameisjames11 @SydneyLWatson @gothgfdotrip Very good question. In other industries, that very thing can happen, but usually limited by that contractor's fee for the job.

[Steve McQueen @BlueCheckSRM]

@thetchuck @SydneyLWatson @gothgfdotrip Oddly, you seem to have understood my point.

[Steve McQueen @BlueCheckSRM]

@Gemjam42069 @SydneyLWatson @gothgfdotrip That is a huge one. Probably even more critical than the director.

[Steve McQueen @BlueCheckSRM]

@Gemjam42069 @SydneyLWatson @gothgfdotrip Depending on your definition of success, I will admit that some roles have more impact than others. The sound editor, for example, must do a truly appalling job to have a significant negative effect. And yet it can be done.

@otokyo It's half of a rifle scope, with dust cover on.

@trumplicans2024 No. If someone who intends to harm me has a capability, I need equal or greater capability to prevent that harm. The Second Amendment is not about firearms. It is about the right to stay alive.

@Gemjam42069 @SydneyLWatson @gothgfdotrip Full disclosure - I'm not in the film industry.

That said, where have I gone wrong?

@ShamashAran @planefag Hell, a techbro will briefly misplace his shit over a woman who just accepts his world without criticism.
