    We’re afraid there might be a recession, so we’re laying off people, gutting pipelines, removing investment in new projects, and cutting funding to everything else. Hopefully doing these things will help us not have a recession.

      Sounds like a perfect recipe for a guaranteed recession to me but then I’m not an expert in capitalism …

    Only five of the legacy movie companies still operate as traditional studios and one of those, Paramount, is up for sale.

    Oh, noooooo. I wonder what A24 is up to? Oh yeah, putting out movies that compete with the big 5’s while also working with the union to where they didn’t have to shut down last year. Funny how that works.

      It’s crazy how consistent their quality is, while usually providing something that feels unique, with a fraction of the budget.

        Turns Out letting creative people be creative produces great stuff. Crazy how that works.

    Well, they just cast Jared Leto for a new Tron movie, so that bad.

    Barbenheimer suggested that audiences might get excited when two huge, very different films open on the same day

    Source? Why is there any reason to think this, as opposed to the simpler reason that two well made movies were deservedly successful?

    I watch the Oscar’s to smile at the inflated egos in the room. Very few of them are even decent actors, and they know it.
