“you have to give subscribers what they want, not what you own.” Audiences don't know what they want. That's the fundamental misunderstanding. Were they out there clamoring for Widows Bay or another medical show (The Pitt)? www.nytimes.com/2026/10/05/b...

WTF is up with these #CovenAcademy runtimes? Who thought this was a good idea? Are we trying to capture the vertical drama girlies?

If all you have for suspense is whether a character lives or dies you don’t have a character you have a plot device.

Two projects were stalled right out the gate in recent weeks due to only one head honcho being replaced at each company, but sure let’s have a mega-merger that completely obliterates hundreds of redundancies, I’m sure THAT will make things better for everyone!!!

I think one thing we don't talk about enough is the phrase "toxic masculinity" and how it's two words. Masculinity, in and of itself, is not toxic. Traditional Masculinity includes: providing for others, building and creating, providing comfort, but most especially standing up for those who can't.

Having an idea is not the work. Making the thing is the work. I’d rather see your terrible version of the idea you tried to bring to life than the “perfect” version you eroded the planet and stole from other artists to make.

Katzenberg is a capital h HACK who uses the abilities/skills of some of the best artists/animators in the world to prop up himself and his ego. He is the ultimate example of Kevin Smith's "failing upwards" philosophy. Of course he would love AI. Losers who need control but can't create always do.

Also, I bet there’s some thinly-veiled misogyny going on here. Like, iced coffees are definitely girl-coded, no? Either way, get your iced coffee and bring it to that interview because fuck the haters. If THAT’S the decision-maker, you don’t wanna work there. 🤷‍♂️

the conversation over Iced Coffee isn't about iced coffee it's about the social contract breaking down younger ppl have seen that employers are not upholding their end of the bargain (stable career) so they're not bothering to uphold theirs (playing the stupid corporate social games)

I always encourage people to, when they're making "best of" lists, include animated stuff in them. The point is to put animation right next to live action to normalize it. Equate them and don't section it off into its own separate list. Let them exist right next to each other.

Hollywood is a working/middle class industry, with top earners being the recognizable face much the way that tech CEOs are. It is truly truly desperate out there.

The vast majority of creatives are struggling. Writers are leaving LA in droves. Directors are driving Uber when they aren't lucky enough to get gigs directing dubs or subs for foreign films. Recognizable actors are finding jobs they won't be recognized in. The whole industry is shitty right now.

The snobbishness about this comes in part from the fact you can no longer pay all your bills doing a minimum wage job. If you work 35hrs a week you should be able to pay rent, pay utilities, buy food & have a little left over for a few beers on a Friday. This never used to be a controversial view.

It's not about The Dignity Of Work. Unless you're very lucky, work is usually at best boring & at worst demeaning, painful & humiliating. If you've set up a system that says "You'd better work all day or you'll suffer destitution" & full-time workers are still destitute, the system is the problem.

Reading the things in this thread from the article… and being as I’m about to start the adoption process… it baffles me how anyone would go through all the trouble of having a child only to not fucking parent at all??
