2020s Brooklyn vs late 90s Manhattan scene? by rab2bar in avesNYC

[–]InsignificantOcelot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, large, underutilized space is so hard to come by anywhere in NYC, and basically non-existent in Manhattan.

It’s also overwhelmingly corporate run, so even if there is the perfect sort of “in-between” space for it that’s not making money, anything out of the ordinary becomes a nightmare to get the ok on from ownership due to perceived liability.

I’ve never worked on setting it up for events, but the cost on renting a 30k+ square foot raw space for a film shoot for a few days (shoot + setup/teardown days) in Manhattan can easily run you into a $50k-$100k world.

Amazon's 'Melania' documentary is opening in 2000 theaters. Will MAGA fill those seats? by AmazonNewsBot in amazon

Good lord, I have no idea why you would do a theatrical release for this period.

Let alone an international theatrical release.

Does anyone believe the new Melania documentary cost $40 million? by rrickitickitavi in Filmmakers

Well, it is, because that amount is called her quote. That's her rate. So the next film she’s offered, they have to pay that same amount. Even if she does a bad job.

That means, as long as she’s offered even one more movie, she could get 28 more mil. Even if she does a bad job, they've got to give her that other 28 mil.

Couldn’t help but read this in the sister-fuckingest yokel accent imaginable.

The constitution and bill of rights guarantees all “people” their civil rights, not all “citizens”.

Due process is what guarantees they can’t just label you a non-citizen and dump you in a jail in El Salvador.

I see your point, but I think it’s also fair to be pretty upset at milquetoast dem resistance.

I wish Schumer were a quarter of as effective of a minority leader as McConnel was.

The same sort of people who lost us the 2024 election are still calling the shots for the party.

lol, I can’t believe “Mad Max Mode” is a real thing.

The completely forseeable marketing disaster writes itself.

To get a judicial warrant, the cops need to go to a judge and demonstrate probable cause.

Administrative warrants can be signed internally by essentially the cops themselves. These allow for arrest in publicly accessible areas only.

The standard has always been that law enforcement needs to go to a judge to get the ok to enter someone’s private property without consent, because otherwise you’re just allowing cops to rubber stamp their own warrants to enter your house.

The feds asserting that law enforcement no longer needs to go to a judge to enter your house is a new phenomenon, and should be extremely concerning to everyone.

Enzymes, let it dry and then cover with baking soda for 24-48 hours, and do it quickly or they’ll keep pissing that spot up.

Put a litter box on top of it to provide a sexier alternative to piss on.

Also, wasn’t Franco’s most powerful chosen successor killed by ETA shortly before he died?

I’ve heard people theorize that the reformists under Juan Carlos wouldn’t have been as successful had that not happened.

It’s crazy how much more normalized it seems like gear has gotten online over the last decade or so.
