    Sounds like a Writers Guild Strike is coming next month. Looks like the studios have been screwing them over on the residuals for streaming services.

    A solid explanation of why things have gotten bad for writers: https://twitter.com/ashleyn1cole/sta...48217086820352

      It's kinda funny how the last WG strike was for residuals for DVDs sales right before those went off a cliff. Makes you wonder what will replace streaming shortly.

        Nothing. Streaming is owned by by studios they can deal with dropoff in ways they couldn't with DVDs.

            Here is my reaction to the last episode of Succession All spoilers obviously:

            The death was great writing as it violated every death trope we have been trained in for a hundred years of mass entertainment. No last words, no dramatic teetering on the edge, just the sudden almost comical hook from off stage.

            The reactions by the children were perfect. These absolutely horrific people are still thrown into an overwhelming universal human experience. We watch them swaying in and out of their genuine human frailty and their monstrous lack of empathy and character. Every actor was excellent, but Roman's performance was for the ages.

            The second great set of performances was the execs on the plane. Again, these are highly flawed people -- not (other than Tom) monsters like the Roys, but still their enablers -- yet their nonsense is blown away by the reality of the moment. For a brief time, their bullsh-t business pathologies are suspended in the recognition of a moment of reality, and they are people. Then the derp drips back in, as the present is annihilated by the future and their machinations and their hypocrisies.

            This was one of the best episodes of tv I've ever seen. All that remains now is for the children to destroy each other and themselves, but even that seems like anticlimax.
            Spoilers as well, because like you, I'm not an a_ss

            100% agree. It was so jarring that my wife and I thought it was a ruse until we saw the the compressions being done. You kind of went through denial and everything just like Roman. Just shocking.

            and I think everyone needs to watch the 10 minute clip about the episode after the episode. They go into how technically difficult that scene was because it was essentially a 28-minute single cut scene. It's going to win them every goddamn award for that single episode. It was damn near perfect.


            And if Kieran Culkin doesn't win the Emmy this year, that award loses all meaning. He probably should have won it last year too. It's one of the best acted characters I've ever seen.

              So hbo, which has been known for some high quality content over last few decades, has been called hbo

              cinemax not so much known for same high quality content.

              hbo max is now branding themselves to be “max”

              interesting choice

                  They also just announced they’re doing a Harry Potter tv series planned to run ten years. I don’t see it making the full length, especially with Rowling on as a producer.

                    I think it could. Very easily. Despite her politics, Harry Potter sales and popularity haven't changed much. I am actually listening to a podcast called The Witch Trials of JK Rowling and I highly recommend it for understanding her politics and understanding Transgender politics in general. It's very well done.

                      JK is a turd, but the kids certainly don't care and I don't think most fully grown, first gen Potterheads do either. My wife and I have discussed not giving her empire anymore money, but I firmly believe we're in the minority.

                            Most people don't even associate the "Max" with Cinemax. I get weird looks when I tell people that is where it comes from.

                            Max is just to make the name smaller and because it has more content than just HBO. Because AT&T botched the launch there was a lot of brand confusion where people thought it was just HBO streaming not all WB. Plus I think it has something to do with international.

                            Also at some point it will add Discovery Plus to it which will make my gf happy as she pays for that. (I pay for Max)

                                Not likely. Do you still listen to Michael Jackson? Watch Woody Allen films? Enjoy Kang the Conqueror in upcoming Marvel films? People separate the artist from the art all the time and they will with her as well.
