2018 seems to be a down year for film production this year. Can't remember it ever being this slow.

Well, well, well!
Could there possibly be consequences to hair-trigger paranoia
,false memory syndrome and elaborate profiling?

Makes sense. Harvey’s not going to be making any.

More cr@p. Less cr@p.

There’s still too much cr@p.

Note to Hollyweird: My offer to go through your slush piles is still open.

Well, after the third remake of everything, I guess they ran out of ideas.

Support alternative production companies that produce family-friendly entertainment, and the family-friendly channels that play that entertainment.

I wonder, is the film industry ditching movies for streaming television? I can't even keep track of the numbers of new series that are arriving on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Starz, HBO, and on and on.

Seems to me a high-rated TV series is where you want to be these days. The quality of TV production today is the best it has ever been.

Well, they don’t seem to have an original thought in their heads either. Re-makes and PC garbage like the last ST isn’t going to bring people to theaters.

Maybe they should look at their own past successes, stop elevating liberal idiots to star status just because they can recite a few lines, and make movies that don’t rely on CGI and big names to entertain.

I can’t help but laugh every time I see that hashtag, pound me too. Are the intellectual giants that came up with that even aware of how comical it really is?

Here’s the thing: filming costs are sunk costs.

But perhaps you can help explain “above the line” and “below the line” costs in a film budget. I’m a bit hazy on it.
