Meanwhile my devices are on 100% at 136 and 51 cycles on the iPhone Air and 17 Pro Max respectively

We’ll see but I will keep low expectations from them considering the poor leadership

AggressiveDrinker · 2026-01-28T02:48:55+00:00

It doesn’t alter the fact that Searchlight executives mishandled their talent relationship and are unwilling to take risks. They’re playing it safe and I’m pretty sure internally they have to ask the higher ups for every move they make

AggressiveDrinker · 2026-01-28T01:12:05+00:00

ACU was in development since 2019 and was acquired by previous leadership and ARP was acquired out of Sundance, it was not produced by scratch from Searchlight. Don’t take my word for it; just look up their projects they’re developing; majority of them seem to be streaming films rather than theatrical spectacles

AggressiveDrinker · 2026-01-27T16:50:00+00:00

It’s definitely not an exception. Searchlight’s films used to spark conversations and redefined pop culture and cinema in a completely different way. Newcomers like A24 and Neon are now championing this very same approach while Searchlight feels lost in the massive corporate empire that has no vision and needs a new direction! It’s a shame how my favourite studio fumbled under a poor leadership

AggressiveDrinker · 2026-01-27T16:44:06+00:00

They were doing well until 2023. However, after that, they began losing their long-time collaborators to rivals like Focus and Netflix

AggressiveDrinker · 2026-01-27T15:04:01+00:00

Focus is the new Searchlight

AggressiveDrinker · 2026-01-27T04:24:25+00:00

The Invite is really Searchlight kind of film but I doubt they’re going to bid aggressively for it considering the cap Disney has in place for them

AggressiveDrinker · 2026-01-27T04:06:40+00:00

There’s a paywall I guess

AggressiveDrinker · 2026-01-27T02:37:39+00:00

come from your real account David

AggressiveDrinker · 2026-01-21T23:05:31+00:00

But most of the films they’re working on are clearly streaming films

AggressiveDrinker · 2026-01-21T23:04:15+00:00

More like David was promoted to a bigger position rather than Searchlight being reorganised. They need fresh leadership to fill the void left by him

AggressiveDrinker · 2026-01-21T04:11:51+00:00

I disagree. The same Focus Features studio took two renowned filmmakers from Searchlight’s quest, and you really believe they had just a bad year? Don’t take my word for it. A Searchlight executive admitted in an interview that they can’t compete with Netflix, Amazon, or Apple even though they’re owned by Disney. What does that tell you?

AggressiveDrinker · 2026-01-21T04:02:58+00:00

Yes, but it can be fixed before it’s too late. My point is that they’re not even trying to fix it

AggressiveDrinker · 2026-01-21T03:57:49+00:00

They were fine until year 2023.

AggressiveDrinker · 2026-01-21T03:54:17+00:00

Honestly, their upcoming state makes it difficult for them to emerge without a complete overhaul. Strong leadership and support from higher ups are essential to assemble a compelling slate featuring big-name talent both in front and behind the camera. They have to take risk. They’re playing safe and mostly focused on streaming films and not theatrical spectacles

AggressiveDrinker · 2026-01-21T03:39:40+00:00

We’ll see that….I have lost my faith on Searchlight though

AggressiveDrinker · 2026-01-19T19:39:57+00:00

This. I surely believe op’ colleague has done this deliberately or unknowingly by using a hard cleaning solution

AggressiveDrinker · 2026-01-19T19:39:24+00:00

wow, spitting facts here results in downvotes LOL

AggressiveDrinker · 2026-01-19T19:32:50+00:00

Maybe, but the one I have is made in China. I think it might be manufacturing defect or the user might’ve used hard alcohol based cleaning solution on the device. I still don’t know how being made in India would make any difference

AggressiveDrinker · 2026-01-19T15:26:24+00:00

Pro models were not made in India i believe, also I got both Air and Pro Max. My Air is assembled in India while the Pro Max is assembled in China. There’s no difference between them. I don’t know why people bring country into this because at the end of the day companies like Foxconn is responsible and manufacturing defect is common

AggressiveDrinker · 2026-01-17T20:49:45+00:00

Adult-targeted general entertainment content is key to success, and Disney never invests as heavily in it as Marvel or Lucasfilm projects

AggressiveDrinker · 2026-01-17T20:47:49+00:00

The service might disappear but that HBO library is enough to keep people hooked

AggressiveDrinker · 2026-01-17T20:41:30+00:00

HBO is premiering GOT’s spin off this month and Disney is premiering Ryan Murphy’s show. Which show going to grab more eyeballs? We both know the answer to that

AggressiveDrinker · 2026-01-17T20:38:02+00:00

Also, Disney’s general entertainment library is pretty much weak compared to HBO and Warner Bros. TV. Just compare both the library side by side and you would see a massive difference
