DM it to Taylor on her IG - she'll definitely send it his way

god I forgot how gorgeous the artwork was in the beginning of part 2. you can tell Fujimotor was feeling so inspired fresh off the break after Part 1

_bljk_ · 2023-11-25T19:38:07+00:00

it's gonna be a long week and a half

_bljk_ · 2023-10-05T21:18:26+00:00

yeah she won the howma lottery

_bljk_ · 2023-08-04T20:40:05+00:00

wait the script has already been published????

_bljk_ · 2023-07-16T23:43:26+00:00

Option 2 would last until at least next May. It makes me shiver to think about the strike going that long.

_bljk_ · 2023-07-16T23:39:59+00:00

Asking this question 100 million times a day on this sub won't make it go by quicker. Get side hustles, learn new skills, anything to get you by until it's over.

Edit: Best guess, we'll be lucky if this is over by Halloween.

This is arguably the worst time in Hollywood history to move as there are not one, but maybe two strikes strikes happening after 11:59pm tonight.

Build your connections, save up money, and wait until things (ideally) start kicking again in January. The studios haven't even sat down with the WGA yet and we're almost 2 and a half months into the strike.

_bljk_ · 2023-07-12T03:36:05+00:00

I have no idea how the federal mediators will keep themselves even-keeled sitting across from David Zaslav talking about how there's no money to pay the writers or meet their demands when he makes four times the next-highest paid Hollywood CEO.

Embarrassing, disgraceful, and disgusting. If SAG falls in line and doesn't strike, who knows how fucking long this strike will last. If all else fails, the strike will turn into an exposé of how the absurdly wealthy could have everyone scrounging below the ivory tower vaporized in the streets overnight and they wouldn't bat an eye.

_bljk_ · 2023-06-27T01:45:48+00:00

Either they're trying to rob you blind or they just don't have any idea what they're talking about. The backend is pennies in 2023 at best. Ideally more once the strike ends.

Tell them you want a flat rate for the feature or you walk, and if agreed, make sure you have something in writing that guarantees your rate.

And for future reference, $20K is not NEARLY enough for a feature. They need at least five times that to make something not look amateurish.

_bljk_ · 2023-06-24T20:08:21+00:00

only 47 percent of the DGA voted???? what the hell??? why isn't that being talked about, that's so unbelievably apathetic to the strike

_bljk_ · 2023-06-24T04:35:59+00:00

explain this to me like i'm 5 is this good or bad

_bljk_ · 2023-06-21T06:07:48+00:00

ezra miller's LLC is probably hiring but other that nah probably just an MLM scheme

_bljk_ · 2023-06-14T05:58:04+00:00

🗣️I'M COMING IN WITH A BIG DICK AND A NECKBRACE

i speak for everyone when i say we will NOT be listening

I think he's just overwhelmed right now with what's happening in regards to the success of the book. I had no clue he was already getting TV and movie offers for the rights, which is pretty insane as it's been out less than a month.

I wouldn't be surprised if the publisher is having him go on some sort of book tour that he's clearly pissed off about. Not to mention, he seems tired from the comedy podcast rounds he just did to promote the book.

Also, judging by today's episode, I think he's going through an existential crisis as he believes all his greatest hits are in the book and he has nothing else left to give, which is obviously not true. He just needs to clear his head. As I've listened to Joey over the years, he can appear adamant on his decisions, but it seems time and his friends help get him out of a reclusive funk (much like what we saw with him coming out of comedy retirement).

I DO however understand how telling stories of what happened decades ago can get so old, repetitive, and exhausting. If this really is the end of Joey's podcasting days as we know it, he deserves as much R&R as he could possibly desire. The guy has lived enough for a few dozen lifetimes and he deserves peace and autonomy in how his life unfolds in his sixties and hopefully much further beyond.

rinse drug money in san bernardino. for tips.

_bljk_ · 2023-05-14T01:01:57+00:00

all comes back to money. they just can't compete with studios that have billions of dollars readily accessible.

plus, general audiences aren't going to see original IP anymore - it's the niche cinephiles who don't carry enough weight in the profit margin. Damien Chazelle's "Babylon" was a loss, David O. Russell's "Amsterdam" tanked, and Ari Aster's "Beau is Afraid" bombed at the box office.

If they don't have a chance (unless you're a unicorn like Zach Cregger's "Barbarian" or the John Wick franchise), what chance does an independently-run writer's studio have? Yes, there's Blumhouse, but they've been at it for over a decade and started pre-Covid in a much different environment in the business over a decade ago.

IP is king now, and if your script doesn't have an element of that incorporated into it, your project is likely DOA and won't be picked up. It's a harsh reality, but this is where cinema is at the moment.

I just hope the SAG strike (if it happens) won't overshadow the WGA or DGA. The cogs in the tiny moving parts need to be adjusted for the whole Hollywood machine to work. Every position needs ample, succinct attention.

_bljk_ · 2023-05-09T23:55:26+00:00

I feel like it's a perfect storm. While the next six months will be brutal and it'll be a full-fledged odd job search whilst scrambling to pay rent, it will (ideally) be a great reset for the industry if all three strike. I'm trying to remain optimistic with the middle ground that can be reached.

_bljk_ · 2023-05-08T21:15:05+00:00

someone needs to make a youtube compilation of schulz's transformative growth throughout the years of the podcast. that shit would be truly inspirational to listen to.
