Why don’t they just let the guy who made Andor make all the Star Wars?

After working on multiple games with this woman, I truly WISH you guys could see her casting audition videos compared to her competition. It's like watching 1996 Michael Jordan turn up to a high school basketball game.

I needed to move a sofa.

I mentioned this to an American. He said, "You know anybody with a truck?"

I did not know anybody with a truck.

He looked at me with real concern. Not pity. Concern. The way you look at a man who has told you he does not have a name.

"You gotta know somebody with a truck."

I asked how one acquires such a person.

He said, "You just do."

This is the third time I have received that answer in this country. It is the answer to everything here. You just do. There is no process. There is only the eventual fact of having.

He said, "Ask Kevin."

I do not know a Kevin. He said Kevin like I should. He said it the way you say a shared uncle.

I met Kevin four days later. Kevin owns a truck. Kevin does not own a truck for himself. Nobody owns a truck for themselves. Kevin owns a truck for a fifteen mile radius.

Inside I said: THIS MAN HAS TAKEN A VOW. HE DID NOT ANNOUNCE IT. HE SIMPLY PURCHASED A BED AND ACCEPTED THE CONSEQUENCES.

Kevin arrived on Saturday. He brought the truck. He also brought a second man.

I had not asked for a second man.

The second man's name is Tony. Tony came because Kevin came. Tony did not know me. Tony did not ask what we were moving. Tony brought gloves.

They moved the sofa in eleven minutes.

I offered them money. Both of them laughed at the same time, which felt rehearsed and was not.

I asked what I owed them.

Kevin said, "Buy the pizza."

That is the price. That is the entire economy. The truck costs one pizza and the pizza is not negotiable and the pizza is also not expensive and everyone knows what size.

Inside I said: THE FEE IS FIXED ACROSS THE ENTIRE NATION AND WAS SET BY NO ONE.

We ate on the floor because the sofa was against the wall and none of us wanted to be the first to sit on it.

Tony told me his daughter plays soccer. I asked if she is good. He said, "She's aggressive."

I still think about that.

Three weeks later, Kevin texted me.

"You free Sunday? Helping Tony move a fridge."

He did not ask if I wanted to. He informed me of a fridge.

Inside I said: I HAVE BEEN CALLED UP. I DID NOT ENLIST. THE PAPERS WERE FILED ON MY BEHALF.

I went. I moved the fridge. I have no truck. I contributed only arms.

Afterward, a man I had never met asked me if I knew anybody with a truck.

I said, "Yeah, I got a guy."

I have a guy.

I am somebody's guy now, too. Tony has told two people about me.

He describes me as "the guy who's strong for his size."

I have never been prouder of a sentence in my life.

Rich kids being able to do art for a living may be a reflection of their privilege but it seems to me like a reflection of the fact that a human that doesn't have to worry about money will often choose art. everyone is an artist until rent is due. i wish we all had that right

[Boots Riley @BootsRiley]

Word of mouth for I Love Boosters is building- we did well yesterday-

If we keep this going thru the week we can make up ground & have a 2nd weekend that is analogous to Obsessions 2nd weekend

(we didnt have the marketing spend of these studio films, so we have 2build slowly)

[Boots Riley @BootsRiley]

I also MAKE movies like my life depends on it.

On an indie promo budget on Memorial Day Weekend in competition w 10 other films,

& w 50%-250% less screens & WAY less showtimes than everyone that made more-

we made almost $5M.
We're not done

I Love Boosters- in theaters now!

[Michael (Allegedly) @MichaelAlleged]

so you’re telling me fighters in the desert need to move in strange ways to avoid the ire of an inescapable predator?

[addemslit @addemslit]

I can’t believe what I just received

[Jeff Jackson @JeffJacksonNC]

We just won.

Ticketmaster / Live Nation was the biggest antitrust case in years. A jury just ruled for us on all claims.

We brought this case with a big group of AGs and USDOJ - until last month, when USDOJ cut a backroom deal with Live Nation in the middle of the trial and bailed.

We rejected their deal, finished the trial, and now a jury has found that they’ve been operating as an illegal monopoly and used their power to unlawfully raise ticket prices on you.

This is a huge win for consumers and artists, but it also sends a message that we can still take on monopolies - and win.

But we aren't done yet. The case now moves to a second phase where the judge will determine the specific remedies needed to dismantle Ticketmaster’s grip on the industry.

Our goal is simple: restore real competition, end the abuse of consumers and artists, and bring fair pricing back to live entertainment.

I would love to be able to do this

[Luke Barnett @LukeBarnett]

If you call Film LA, the very first option is to report a production you think should be shut down for not having a permit.

The third option is to try and get a permit. If you don't get your application in my 10am a week before the shoot, they will not process your application. Not 10:05, not 12pm. Must be in by 10am. When you speak to the person at Film LA, they truly sound like they don't even want you to shoot there.

I hope whoever our next mayor is shuts down Film LA and makes it free and easy to get a permit.

LA has the best crews, the best casts, the best weather. It shouldn't be cheaper and easier to fly to Oklahoma and shoot there than it is to shoot at home. It's time to bring filmmaking back to LA.

This summer…

[emma @emma_____weaver]

Is he suggesting we… Immigrate to a different country in search for a better life?????

[Slightly Biased @BiasedSlightly]

look at how beautiful this is

pictures like this really make me feel we should bomb each other and charge thousands of dollars for life saving medication and sit in our car all day and work endless hours to eat jalapeño poppers and pay rent to Blackstone

[union person @CantEverDie]

it’s hard to illustrate how it felt at the time if you were too young, but this happening right after the shock bernie primary win in michigan was a nuclear hopium bomb. it felt like the world was on the precipace of something better

[Miilato @litteralyme0]

How it feels walking out of the theater after seeing Project Hail Mary and feeling hope and happiness instead of doomerism despair about the future

@TeamYouTube Manual review needed! I deleted all videos on a channel I no longer use, got an inactivity notice (pic) and left YPP. AFTER leaving, your system suspended this EMPTY channel for 'Reused Content', demonetizing my 2 other healthy channels!
