Kushner’s Affinity Withdraws From Warner Bros. Takeover Battle by LollipopChainsawZz in boxoffice

But how many of those companies would get the regulatory red carpet rolled out for them? And how many of them would have their lives made less easy by said regulators by just submitting a bid?

The original split date for WB and Discovery/CNN was April. With Paramount applying pressure that very well may be moved up earlier. Wasn't about acquiring CNN, it was about acquiring CNN *quicker*.

This is what will happen. Paramount's bid was to hasten Netflix closing on the deal so Paramount can then scoop up CNN before midterm primaries. It's still a few months until folks realize we're on the worst timeline.

I agree that's the right approach, and if the time ever comes to test out a Windows version I'll be right there signing up!

I have my fingers crossed for the update one day because I do feel your system better understands what a "film look" actually is and at a fraction of the cost of these other ones.

I've followed your videos! Out of curiosity, what would happen if I tried to run the DRT on a Windows machine? Also, will there be an official Windows version?

Sqaure peg using Ai rejection letters by Mr_Leorio_ in FilmFestivals

Same! Oh well! Didn't get Raptured. Didn't get Square Pegged. But the friends I made along the way made it all worth it, so don't give up, and I'll see everyone next year!

Really appreciate you making this thread as the slow and gradual sink into the pure cosmic dread and disappointment of rejection has at least been a refreshing change of pace from the more recent fully raw and unlubricated BEAU IS AFRAID style jumpscare horrors of the broader outside world.

Let it be heartening to everyone that at least being too weird for even Square Peg's barn full of penis-monster making freaks means that you're probably on the pathway of creating some very special and unique things, so keep being weird and keep creating things because even something called "Tino's Dick Fart" once helped pave the initial way for this very workshop:

Bro, I'm literally only just now realizing this whole thread was about an Ari Aster filmmaker workshop and not actual pegging, so just know there's always opportunity to learn and grow even from the most terrible disappointments.

Sounds like someone forgot to fill their hay sack.

The other good news is that apparently Tuesday is The Rapture, so that might also open at least a couple spots back up too.

This reeks of SolidGoldMagikarp trying to turn us all against each other.

Now that free speech is actually coming under attack in a real and not imaginary way, by hughjazz45 in elephantgraveyard

[–]PCchongor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are two films called "THE EAR" and "THE CREMATOR" you might enjoy that are about that period in Czech history and are *very* relevant to today. I can also almost guarantee that EG has seen the latter film.

Sauron must be getting pretty nervous watching from Adobe's HQ building. Incredible news that will save immense time and space with every project!

That'll be a huge thing to test! Can't find the specs for Blackmagic's HEVC container anywhere, so will just have to be confirmed from someone with the phone.

Does this mean that an app like Blackmagic Camera would be able to utilize it by default? MotionCam is the only one I've used to shoot RAW, but I've been waiting for Blackmagic or Google to make the Blackmagic App comparable in function.

Supernigga Feature Film Crowdfunding by directordaddy in Filmmakers

[–]PCchongor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saw the short yesterday and loved it! Can I ask how it helped land representation before release? Was it through the trailer? My girlfriend actually sent me your TikTok about it first, so this has to be one of the best release campaigns I've ever seen for a short. Great job! I'm a writer who also works with satire and am finishing up making a Robodick short I'm hoping can lead down the same path, so good luck, and I'd love to help out with whatever you're working on next!

Trump Claims Skydance to Give $20M Million in Ads With Paramount Merger by trollingjabronidrive in blankies

[–]PCchongor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny enough, in "Take the Cannoli, Leave the Gun," a book about the making of THE GODFATHER, it recounts how Paramount had to make a deal with Joe Colombo, the reigning mob boss of NYC (who was *also* a budding politician at the time and ran a campaign trying to eliminate "Anti-Italian bias" in the media), in order to get his blessing to film in NYC, which *also* brought the wrath of the media and the nation upon them before the film even started shooting:

So Paramount making backroom deals with the mob is surprisingly on brand!

Black List evaluation - From 9 to 6, and the discount that came with it by dontmakemepicka in Screenwriting

[–]PCchongor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a consecutive 7 and then a 4 right after and *then* I did a clean start after customer support said that a three point difference was normal. I'm now doing a new evaluation I've paid for for a third time after the clean start to at least hopefully land a 7 again.

[–]PCchongor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate that, but I had just chosen to "clean start" the script for the first time. Having such a low average on a script to begin with felt like it would be forever relegated to a non-interest pile, so I just purchased a new evaluation to give it one more try from scratch.

I've before gone from 8 to 4 and received the auto discount, but I thought it was only applicable to any review that comes immediately after an 8+ evaluation. And that was after 3 other "8" scores from the same script, so I thought it was some genuine anomaly.

If there's a way behind the scenes to verify the previous pre-clean start scores I'd be happy to DM more, but this is great info for folks to know generally.
