Put another way: Sony somehow stays in business despite only getting 55-65% of the ticket revenue for a movie they spent hundreds of millions to make and market. Theaters, meanwhile, get 35-45% of every ticket sold despite shouldering 0% of the cost and somehow can’t stay in business without selling 30 minutes of ad time before every showing, even while selling $15 sodas. Something’s clearly broken here.

If you are going to scold theaters and demand they make moviegoing cheaper, then maybe be willing to announce Sony is willing to drop @SpiderManMovie film rental from 65% to 55%. You would be shocked how quickly ticket price drops would follow. Bad look for Tom Rothman.

When they say nobody moves a camera like Spielberg, they’re absolutely right.

Just had to find out why ketamine was trending ...

We were so spoiled ...

Hilary Clinton should have taken that stage like Lydia Tar.

I went back and forth on this one til the end, but in the end, I kind of loved The Regime. This Katherine Winslet might be one to watch.

I’ve reached the age and fitness level where running 8 miles is both easier and more pleasant than getting in and out of the car.

So anyway, when a writer is publicly shamed for their credited resume, it strikes a nerve with those of us who've worked within that system. It struck a nerve with me! But it doesn't come from a place of being thin-skinned or above criticism ... just honest experience. (5/5)

[T.S. Nowlin @tsnowlin]

This is such a common misconception, I kinda have to weigh in. Sure, if a movie is good, good writing was involved. If a movie is bad, bad writing was involved. So totally fair game to criticize the credited writers of a bad movie for all that bad writing, right? If only. (1/5)

[Lofti Pixels @loftipixels]

@Howell489 @joerussotweets It's not foolish if they are partly to blame. As you said it's many factors and they are one of them. Criticizing bad writing is perfectly reasonable lol.

[T.S. Nowlin @tsnowlin]

We're talking DOZENS, accumulated over YEARS of active development. And since only 3 writers (or writing teams) are allowed credit on any given project, it becomes uniquely hard to tell who was responsible for what based ONLY on those credits. (4/5)

[T.S. Nowlin @tsnowlin]

The Weather Man (2005) starring Nicolas Cage and Michael Caine ... I'm a longtime Verbinski fan, but this carries none of the Lone Ranger baggage. Why has it not been recognized as an unheralded masterpiece?

[T.S. Nowlin @tsnowlin]

FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER is a nasty bit of business. Highly recommend.

[T.S. Nowlin @tsnowlin]

@benmekler Seriously. It’s almost weird, like it didn’t have to be THAT good.
