Each of Wes Anderson’s movies gets a budget of ~25 million and brings in about ~50 million. It’s a no brainer for any studio to invest in. Not always the best movies, but always fun to watch. I can’t wait!
I was looking all day for protests in my area, southern OK, but the closest I could find was in OKC. I’m stoked to find out that there was one closer, and disappointed I couldn’t find it.
Wow! I think the theme music fits the show so well. I feel like it sets the tone, no pun, for the show. It’s ethereal and a little off and fun.
Mike White is one of my favorite creators since Chuck and Buck, but I’d have to disagree with his argument. I would love to see what he had in mind for each season instead.
The right answer that they won’t admit to is to cut studio heads salaries and bonuses. They are paid way too well for not doing the work. You can’t cut production costs, or talent, or post, or marketing. These costs are essential.
Then they need to trim the fat in other areas, for example, cut out previews in theaters. Market online where people seek out the previews. Profit share with talent instead of exuberant salaries. Give the production a stake in the outcome of the film. Make a centralized website for marketing, collectibles, other forms of media, etc.
They need to take more risks and change the processes they’ve been doing for the last century. They need to evolve. That’s my opinion anyway.
Same. I grew up loving comic books, still do, and I even enjoyed movies like Superman and Batman and hollywoods interpretation of the classics, with the tongue in cheek corniness. Then they started taking themselves seriously with endless series of bullshit to edge the fans. I’m happy that it looks like the trend is dying, but it seems like they’re having a hard time letting go. For the love of god, just go by the comics! They’re amazing! Give your money to the artist and creators, not some studio…. I’ll jump off of the soap box now.
Maus by Art Spiegelman. Gonzo plays the son and Kermit the dad of course. The others can fill in for the rest.
I’m reading Roadside Picnic, a 1972 Soviet sci-fi novel by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky So far it’s awesome!
And while I workout I’m listening to The Nineties by Chuck Klosterman. It’s ok, I lived through it so it’s like brushing up on the decade.
I always thought Art Spiegelman’s Maus would be awesome as a short series.
There better be a co-ed shower scene in this one as well.
This reminds me of the book The Little Prince. There was also a cartoon about a child who would catch these asteroids with a butterfly net of sorts, maybe based on the book, that lives in the back of my brain that pokes its head out every blue moon. Pun intended.
The constant advances in science and technology will never cease to amaze me. I can’t wait to see average, everyday implementation of these findings.
This brings back memories! I used the Lemmings poem in high school English as a speech and got an A!
