I don’t know. Selling out on the one thing that made you stand out as a company. Sounds like a smart business decision to me.
Someone had to follow in Musks shoes.
Are you suggesting selling out wasn’t a thing before Musk turned up?
It wasn’t my intention but I can see your point.
Our current strategy is making us worth a ton of money, so let’s change strategies to what all the companies that are losing are doing instead, so we can make money?
It’s called cashing out, and it’s a smart thing to do when you want to maximize profits (to the detriment of the art).
Taking money from Wall Street is like taking money from the mob.
Honestly I find the mob are honest upfront at least about what will happen to you if you piss them off.
I see you haven’t sorted out your pension yet
Line must go up, forever, no creativity, just line
SPOILER: Private Equity is POISON.
Ah fuck. Hazbin Hotel is being produced by A24.
Guess we can kiss that quality goodbye.
It’s really simple to see why.

That Everything Everywhere All At Once, the most action oriented and commercial of their releases, made more money than virtually all their other releases COMBINED.
Yes, because that’s what all the reviews were raving about - the action. Not plot, characters, acting, or any of that artsy stuff.
You don’t get how Hollywood executives work. They see Barbie being a massive success because people thought it was a smart and funny movie with a good message and decide, “this means we need more movies about Mattel toys!”
They have absolutely no understanding of movies. It sort of feels like a lot of them don’t even like movies.
They like hookers and blow. No time for movies.
I haven’t heard of ANY of those movies. I really need to get out more.
I seriously thought this was a gag at first, sad.
Is that the company that Kane Parsons is working with?
I don’t understand A24. Hereditary was a borderline comedy, Uncut Gems and EEAAO would work better as 20 minute shorts, and nothing happened in The Witch. They’re like the Marvel of hipster movies.
Sorry you didn’t appreciate them I loved those movies
Little harm done. My tastes never seem to line up with the main stream, but I don’t shame anyone for loving Marvel or The Master of Disguise.
Those movies are far from being obscure, but far from being mainstream as well.
But eh, in the end, it’s all entertainment.
Sounds like you’ve watched all the superhero movies though so don’t get too cocky.
I have no idea what you mean.
Uncut Gems and EEAAO felt too long at times but I think it was worth it in both cases.
For context, I prefer movies that are funny, have guns or lasers, or have magic or some shit. I have no taste when it comes to film.
I love your honesty. I love Hardcore Henry but I’m not going to argue it’s a narrative wonder. It’s just my flavor of stupid insane.
Put Brad Pitt and people with funny accents in a movie and I’ll probably be glued to it.
If I want something fully engaging I read.
