If anyone needs me for the next couple weeks, I will be in my “curling export” mode.

I want to know how you wake up one morning and go, “you know what skill I want to learn?”

My rating goes Sink, Kerry, Hawke, Matarazzo, Ferguson. But Sink is #1 by a lot.

The other kids are… yeah.

The number of times per week I quote Real Genius should be illegal.

(And MotP may be the best Batman film, period.)

You put it out there, you’re going to get responses.

Frank & Dave… and no, I didn’t Google it.

The Patrick Stewart version

I really miss Reddit Secret Santa

Tons, but…

I just figured out why Netflix wanted WB so bad…

They figured this was cheaper than constantly renewing the Gilmore Girls license fee.

I got my shots like I do every year, but still try to avoid the flu as much as humanly possible. Hope you feel better soon.

Ugh… awesome news

Huge congrats. I’m about to query, and I’m just a jumble of nerves, so nice to see someone made it through this crazy process.

Well said, and an important data point.

Former comic shop owner from here in the States. Love it. You’re well organized, racked, love the couch. If I ever make it over to Leeds again (been a bit), I will most definitely drop by.

But… but… Paramount is promising it won’t change anything!

Riiiight

Highly unlikely to happen. SVOD has been shown to have very little impact on BO, and the studios like that revenue stream.

As for streaming services, I think you will see more and more tiered releases, but I don’t see 6 months ever coming back.

Yep. There is only one thing selling right now on a large scale: Spectacle. And you can only pump out so many of those a year.

Even horror is starting to take a hit.

But remember… we’re doomsayers -rolls eyes-

The genie is out of the bottle. It's going to be nearly impossible to retrain people to attend theaters.

Good grief. Cue Hollywood thinking every anime can do this and they flood the zone without a clue of what they are doing.

… not what I was expecting

I mean… we’ve both tried warning everyone, but that “wait for 25” was so sure we were just being Sooners. Oh well, I guess the new normal will just be whatever this is… until it gets worse.

Is it just me or should there be a bit more panic/urgency from everyone?

-rubs temples- yep… all is fine. Mmhmm

Yes, it is inspired. It was not Japanese produced, but still falls in the category of “what is happening…”

I was thinking about this a lot today. As someone who has been involved in the anime industry for decades, this a truly amazing time for the art form.

As a semi-pro box office analyst… what in the world is happening? Between Demon Slayer, K-Pop, and now Chainsaw… what a bizarre year.

Yep. If WB gets acquired by the likes of Skydance the number will go down as well. I expect to see a lot more stunt releases like KPOP
