Translation: "If you don't use AI then the guys using our chips can't pretend to make money and can't pay the loans they took out to pay for the original loans they took out for all the money they're not making and it all falls apart and we can't sell chips to fuel the money they're not making."

This thread. Also: at my (upper/mid) level, all I'm hearing is "make your own thing." I've been doing that for 20 years. It's been a nice way to supplement my scattered income from selling scripts. But to make something, you need to pay the people helping you (at a certain point). So, who funds it?
Said with love but there is a tone deafness in the "just write your spec!" advice that seems to be totally ignored in the current climate.
It works if you're repped. If reps are taking new clients. If places are buying A LOT. If rooms are staffing unknowns/lower levels. If not? It's a platitude.

Seconded. While certainly not as crazy as seeing a live stage version of the show, the feature film version of NOISES OFF is a hilarious romp with one of the best casts ever assembled. Carol Burnett, Michael Caine, John Ritter, Marilu Henner, Christopher Reeve, and Denholm Elliott in his final role.
Share a 90s movie that needs more love:
NOISES OFF has fallen a bit into obscurity, and it absolutely rips. Brilliant cast. Cracking dialogue. And Bogdanovich at the height of his powers.

The Shape of Water is literally just gender-swapped SPLASH (1984) with the act structure reversed.
Has this pairing ever been flipped? Where a man falls in love with a monster?

I have an Udo Kier story. In 2004 friends & I went to Park City during Sundance to promote our own movies (not in any of the fests- we rented a condo a few blocks off the main drag and did screenings for whoever would show up.) We got into the Slamdance after-party at a ski lodge 🧵 1/
Udo Kier was one of the great character actors while also being a hell of a character offscreen, too. Truly one of God’s own prototypes. Rest in peace, you magnificent bastard.

When the devil came
He was not red
He was chrome, and he said
Come with me
You must go
So I went
Where everything was clean
So precise and towering
I was welcomed
With open arms
I received so much help in every way
I felt no fear

He was not red

Here’s a pro-tip:
If you are new to a topic, and you think you just made an important discovery that’s in the public interest, ask yourself which is more likely:
Thousands of professional adults who should have info this already are either incredibly stupid or incredibly corrupt
OR
You’re wrong

I'd really like to celebrate today by buying a mediocre sandwich out of a giant yellow submarine but sadly Spielberg and Katzenberg's DIVE closed 26 years ago.
