  • What happened to my needs being primary and the device being secondary, serving me? The device is not primary, it does not have rights. Sales is transferring rights from one person or entity to another, for their use, no strings attached. We have completely upended the primary idea of commerce.

    Perhaps some Ferengi-style Rules of Acquisition are in order. And some kind of death penalty for CEOs may help.




  • You are fucking right, but the excuse-makers keep claiming “we’re not as shitty” is the winning path. No effort politics, and blame the voters when you lose.

    Fuck the people who blame people who had a few seconds of involvement, over people who had millions of dollars and television and resources we can’t dream of and didn’t do shit.

    I will be proud to stand with you and take the downvotes of them.



  • The fact the Zaslev et. al. are over DC Studios led by James Gunn is frightening in an existential way. Non-risk-takers, while understandable in a CEO, doesn’t produce great, it tends toward the average.

    Not only that, but this pathetic, grasping scheme of letting creatives make something and shit-canning it for a tax write-off is going to lose trust for the studio, and they will only have access to lesser, or mechanical, for-profit filmmakers.
