@scorched_water@____Greed______@percy2099@DiscussingFilm I’m not surprised at the low ratings for the franchise. If you analyze the franchise critically instead of pure enjoyment, I can see why it’s not “good” in a technical filmmaking sense. But there are movies that care more about enjoyment than artistic creativity.
@ABHibbs21@JonGMaruaque@HollywoodHandle DC did not need to double their budget. The marketing budget is $100m less than the production budget. The 2.5 “guideline” is supposed to be the total of prod and market budget. If prod is $225 and market is $125 then it didn’t NEED to 2x or even 2.5x. It’s not mandatory
@ABHibbs21@JonGMaruaque@HollywoodHandle Superman 2025 movie didn’t NEED to do 2.5x because the marketing budget was not the same cost as the production. We typically don’t know the marketing budget of a movie and tax credits applied. Some random Hollywood insider used 2.5x and now ppl think it’s mandatory.
@ABHibbs21@JonGMaruaque@HollywoodHandle lol no way you said its mandatory for every film to do 2.5x. You think it was mandatory for Obsession to do 2.5x its budget of $750K? Of course not. After the production budget, the marketing budget can be small or large. This shouldn’t even be a conversation.
@Stephen1980118@MaxPickimus@FadedWill_97 There have been many cases in this playoff and in the regular season where coaches have called a challenge w/o timeout and got the challenge. There's rules against flopping but refs allow it anyway.
@Jeremy_Ridgeway@BreitbartNews@NolteNC It's common story structure. Introduce a character with negative traits, faces obstacles because of their negativity, by the end of the story they either learn and grow or refuse and suffer. Both options will produce important lessons for people of all ages. Just like iron man 1.
@WhatUpWarner@XaviercMiller Because "sport" describes the physical activity and "league" describes the organizational framework, no single league in the world is legally designated as the sport itself.
@MVerschollen White privilege isn't about wealth or the concept that all white ppl have an easy life. It's about life obstacles not being tied to the color of your skin. A non-white person will have challenges in their life (personal, social, professional, etc) that are different due to color.
Drake stans can only talk about his finances (that may or may not be true) because actually talking about the artistic QUALITY of Drake's discography for the past 10 years isn't defendable.
Apparently sources are saying Drake received over 2 billion private equity after becoming a free agent. After he released 3 albums in one night Drake fulfilled his UMG obligations. See Drake has been having issues with his record label and Drake has sued them over defamation. So releasing 3 albums fulfilled his obligations with them. He recently received a 2 billion offer from a private equity firm that would allow him retain all ownership of his music. If this deal happens he will be the richest musician in history.
