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.
I think there's more to it than that. Netflix has give out blank check after blank check. And while every once in awhile they make something great. Usually they don't.
There has to be oversight for A24 to be as consistent as they are. There's a balance between interference and creative freedom that they've figured out what nobody else has.
While not also having massive corporate overlords who are demanding ever-growing profit for their shareholders
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?
How could someone legitimately write such a conclusion🤣🤣🤣🤣
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.
