Finally saw Wildwood... breathtakingly gorgeous; awe inspiring human craftsmanship and creativity, and yet, left me a bit cold. Too tropey for its own good, too plagued by unceasing exposition, and too emotionally underdeveloped despite some refreshingly mature ideas of squaring the complications and opaqueness of adulthood with the magic and wonder of childhood. Bummer, but thrilled something like this exists and that Laika continues to create art crafted by human hands. We need that now more than ever.
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

i'm so tired of the idea that art is only successful if it's been sanded down enough to appeal to literally everybody. sometimes your grandma isn't going to like a film and that's actually fine
@MontumboMr Sure, but it wasn't canceled either. Either way, the reason they're not moving forward is ridiculous. The numbers back up the fact that it DID capture the zeitgeist while on air. It grew exponentially week to week in viewership.
@heavyspoilers Scrap the whole shared universe all together and just focus on making great films with marquee characters. Brand is still tarnished but at least the art remains the priority in that situation. Doubt it happens.
@GEvans96@SME1715 When you make movies for everybody, you lose the personal take that lets people find universality in an individual experience or outlook. What he's talking about sounds like sanitizing and making safe bets, mitigating risk to maximize profit, which is incredibly disheartening.
