Since we have a thread discussing the video game industry, I thought it would be appropriate to have a thread discussing the practices and going ons of the film and tv industries. Especially in light of recent news surrounding the sets of Batwoman
and Rust
.
This will not be about films and tv shows but rather about the practices and behind-the-scenes news affecting the industries.

The Scrappy of the Trope Pantheon, God of Thumps
Probably the same level of consistency under them like MGM but I noticed lacking enthusiasm to James Bond nowadays. Guess John Wick and Kingsmen took the spotlight from an aging franchise

I feel like Mission Impossible is reaching that level of lacking excitement. Even discounting the last movie not doing as well in the box office even though it hit those good review scores

My bad.
Over at WB, according to Bloomberg, Zazlav is losing patience with DeLuca and Addy, especially after Joker 2 bombed.
It is paywalled.
You’re Gonna Carry That Weight.Honestly, I find the hate directed at Kathleen Kennedy to be mostly motivated by bigotry rather than genuine issues with her leadership of Lucasfilm. I note that she gets none of the credit for greenlighting any Star Wars media that people love but all of the hate for the ones they don't, and I contrast that to Kevin Feige from Marvel Studios who functionally has the same role there as Kathleen does with Lucasfilm but he gets praise when things are going good and usually the blame for things not going well and thrown at the director's.
Flow is now the first Latvian film to win an Oscar , having won Best Animated Feature.

I thought you said it was a Latverian film and I got confused if it was a real place, maybe ruled by a supervillain

Hollywood has a long story of having its head up its own ass, anyway.
