Mark Millar could literally fund this 1,000 times over with the money from his Netflix deal. There is no need whatsoever to have a Kickstarter for this.

70,000+ people have died since this conflict began, whereas zero people have died as a result of the Dublin Airport cap being put in place.

If billionaires could get away with it they'd call for an end to weekends, 40 hour work weeks and employee holidays.

The cynic in me thinks that they want to see if Nintendo can get away with the higher price tag. I do hope they take time though and don't force their devs to crunch.

Between the recent Oblivion and Ghost of Yotei announcements, that both dropped with little fanfare, it makes me wonder if there's GTA 6 news coming soon (and they're trying to get out ahead of it).

The Oscars are almost a century old and this should have been a rule since day 1. Not that it matters, all these awards shows are bullshit anyway.
discussingfilm.net DiscussingFilm @discussingfilm.net · Apr 21
The Academy is implementing rules to make sure that members will not be allowed to vote for the Oscars if they haven’t demonstrated that they have watched all of the nominated films.

Alt for four images: 1. A person in a black robe and a tall brown felt hat stands facing a line of riot police holding shields labeled “Polis.” The person is being sprayed with pepper spray, and the air is filled with mist and debris. The person wears a gas mask and stands with a composed posture amid the chaos. 2. The same person in black robes and a tall brown felt hat stands calmly with arms folded while being sprayed with pepper spray by riot police. The individual wears a gas mask and stands on a wet street littered with water bottles. A line of police in helmets and shields labeled “Polis” stands in the background. 3. A person wearing a black robe, gas mask, and tall brown felt hat stands with arms outstretched in front of a row of riot police. The police hold transparent shields marked “Polis” and “Çevik Kuvvet.” Smoke fills the air, and the scene is illuminated by strong overhead lights. 4. A similar scene shows the same person in a dramatic pose with arms wide open and head tilted back, wearing the same attire. Smoke surrounds the area, and the line of riot police with shields labeled “Polis” and “Çevik Kuvvet” remains in the background. Debris is scattered on the ground. Alt for four images: 1.

The Flash TV show lasted 184 episodes, I think a lot of people care about the character, just not this film or the actor playing the Flash.

Good, strikes are meant to be disruptive.

Also, couldn't Kojima Productions agree to their demands and continue working with an exemption? That's what A24 did to continue production during the SAG-AFTRA strike.
