Just so I understand: The NCAA can retroactively vacate wins and losses that happened 5 years ago because a guy took a cheeseburger or made money off his image before NIL, but can’t vacate a very clear instance where the wrong team won a game after being gifted a free play!?

Having our biggest land border be with a culturally compatible and economically integrated ally was a hugely important factor in the rise of the United States as a major power and it seems like a bad thing to throw that away now.

In our defense, we have no personal experience concerning what a game against an FCS opponent would be like.

Up 56-7 against an FCS opponent in the 4th quarter. The Southern Californian mind cannot comprehend this.

This is so true. I see so many generic loglines and it never makes me want to read the script. What make this different/special? What is the hook that makes people want to read the script/see the movie?

If you want to get read requests, your logline should make people say "I want to see that so I can find out _____" – whatever that means to you. That's the hook. If it doesn't have one, rewrite it until it does. If you still can't find it, rewrite your script

Your 132-page script did not get easier to read. Your low-concept script did not get easier to sell. And your period piece did not get less expensive to produce. But you can and should be encouraged that if enough people really love your script, they are still writing checks.

People have been asking: How can a combined Paramount-Warner possibly release 30 theatrical films annually without recreating the gigantic fixed-cost studio apparatus Ellison supposedly wants to eliminate? Coyote vs. Acme provides part of the answer. You don’t make thirty $150–250 million internally financed studio productions. You operate an ecosystem. Some films are internally financed tentpoles, some are co-financed, some are negative pickups, some are distribution acquisitions, some involve licensed IP. Some are produced by outside companies under tightly controlled franchise agreements. And occasionally another company takes something sitting on your shelf and monetizes it. The studio becomes less MOVIE FACTORY and more: IP PLATFORM + CAPITAL ALLOCATOR + DISTRIBUTION NETWORK + BRAND GOVERNANCE SYSTEM. That’s our freeway again.

Two unknown writers paid for a script consult which resulted in a rave review which resulted in a top manager reading which resulted in CAA repping which resulted in everyone reading which resulted in everyone loving which resulted in a huge studio sale. THIS IS GREAT NEWS.

The reason the USA is not progressing in Soccer is because none of our soccer stars get into legal trouble, have a judge sentence them to coach a youth team as punishment, and then take the rag tag groups of kids to the state championship where they beat the team full of rich kids.

$300 a day gets you a worker, the basic job duties and I execute. But if I know that I help go above and beyond and deliver exceptional work and help make this movie a phenomenon, ill get an extra reward on the other side. Tying some small bonus structure changes how people work

It's not about doing what is "fair" or "right". That's a nice story, but the reason why the cast and crew should get some small piece of the pie is to encourage great work in the future.

I understand the sentiment - and agree that its easy for people who are not sharing in the financial risk to suddenly expect a share of the enormous profits. However, this is why everything has gotten so awful in America. We have completely severed the rewards from the hard work

Assume the movie had flopped and the director lost his entire $750,000 investment. How many crew members would have voluntarily returned their fees to help offset his loss? This is the fundamental asymmetry in risk and reward. When someone puts up their own capital and shoulders

What timeline are we on man. There’s a $60 million UFC cage on the White House lawn for the president’s 80th birthday. 125,000 guests. 494 port-a-potties. He compared it to the Eiffel Tower and said maybe they’ll never take it down. The world’s first trillionaire was minted yesterday. SpaceX IPO. One person now holds more wealth than the GDP of most countries. The government is negotiating to own a piece of OpenAI. The CEO walked into the White House and pitched it himself. They’re calling it a Public Wealth Fund. That same government killed OpenAI’s biggest competitor’s models on a Friday night. The reason? A verbal jailbreak claim from an unnamed company. The same jailbreak works on OpenAI’s models. Nobody touched them. The competitor got blacklisted by the Pentagon four months ago. Their crime? Refusing to let the military use their AI for mass surveillance of American citizens. A judge called it retaliation. The Pentagon did it anyway. Both AI companies filed to go public in the same two-week window. Both targeting trillion-dollar valuations. One has a government equity deal in progress. The other can’t keep its products online. The engineers who built the banned models can’t use them anymore. Because of their passports. And an AI company that spent thousands of hours cooperating with government safety testing got punished harder than any company that didn’t bother. UFC on the White House lawn. A trillionaire. Government-owned AI. Export controls based on phone calls. Cage fights and trillion-dollar IPOs in the same news cycle. Watch the film titled Idiocracy. That’s the timeline we’re on.

I think between the Knicks joy and the local/visitor “we like each other” vibes of the World Cup, Americans are experiencing something wholly patriotic, fun, accepting, insane, and without meanness or ego driven. The UFC timing couldn’t be worse for Trump. This ship has sailed ⬇️.

99% of loglines I read don't make it clear: - What's new or unique about this movie. - What's the engine for fun, thrills, drama or laughs. - Who the movie is for. Worry less about the format. Who, what, where, and why is the easy part. Worry more about getting THE CONCEPT right. That's what gets people excited. A project's logline can be shared 100x over the phone and in emails. It will get mangled each time. If it keeps going, it is because what survives each time is the concept. That clear, concise idea that generates great scenes. No amount of tinkering will save a logline if the clear concept isn't there.

The Patriots had no business taking the spot of a 4-loss SEC team in this game. We need to change the playoff format ASAP!

Ok here’s the secret to getting films made. Never give up. All the no’s are just fuel to me to prove those that said no were wrong. I say no often because I can’t do them all. But I hope I’m wrong because I want everyone to succeed. The more movies that are made the better for the business as some will surely be hits.

It’s lucky that they got an all-SEC matchup in the quarterfinal, that’s the only way they were getting a team in the semis 🤣
