I honestly didn't know she was in anything else besides Gone Girl.

I will overcome this tradegy by only following her instagram career and various reddit threads. I will call Ja Rule to cope.

After the masterful 'Triangle of Sadness'..I had to revisit this one. It plays way better now. Ostlund truly is a modern master. I laughed so much when the ''incident'' happens, it just plays. What a great balance of drama and comedy.

A damn good joke. I can’t tell what’s real with entertainment news these days.

This is the beauty of strategically not using emojis. It all feels real these days.

Hope they get what they need so they won't have to.

Considering the far-reaching ramifications of the writers strike of ‘07, and that was before interconnected universes where all the cogs have to keep moving was a thing, I would like to think the studios would find themselves more amiable to their demands this go-round. But lbr, they probably won’t.

 

[Kane52630]

Probably but I'm expecting the strike to happen. Most of the IP movies and shows will probably suffer the most, but we're living in a time where we have a sh**load of scripted shows and movies which wasn't the case in 07. I was listening to The Town pod and even they say the consumers probably won't feel the effect until much later because of how much content is out there. And even by then if the strike does happen, it won't happen for that long.

 

[Ninjablade]

I wonder if the still trickling backlog of stuff from the last few years possibly plays a role in the studios thinking they can hold out for longer in an attempt gain leverage. Hope they don't and we can just get along with this. The risk of all the crap they'll continue to put out isn't worth it considering the state the whole industry is in right now while it tries to recover.

I just hope it's not a case of them holding profits over people. So easy to forget the minions who do the actual work.

Huh, I didn't even think of that. While reality TV is still very much a thing, it definitely felt like we were drowning in it back then compared to scripted shows. Kinda feels like the opposite now.

 

[Kane52630]

Yeah and in all honestly, I do hate that we have too many shows out there all vying for our attention. So if the strike happens, having fewer shows out there for a while is kind of a good thing (except for industry workers). I can finally catch up on other stuff I've been meaning to check out.

I couldnt find my criterion thread, so recent purchases.
