Quoting for the TV thread. Y'all excited for more mindhunter excellence?!
If we weren't living in peak TV world I would assume this was a made up gibberish sentence.
It's completely unreasonable, most binged means "highest average watch time per viewing session", it doesn't say anything about how many people watched it, how many new subscribers watched etc., technically a show that's only watched by 5 people could win "most binged" if those 5 all watch the entire season in one sitting, without actual numbers attached it's a nice anecdote but ultimately useless information when it comes to negotiations.
It also didn't create nearly as much buzz as some other shows, 13 Reasons Why was talked about everywhere but for some reason the On My Block cast asks for significantly more than the 13 Reasons kids are getting. Dylan Minette gets arou d $200.000 per episode for season 3, the others $135.000. The On my Block cast initially wanted $250.000 each, now they're asking for 225.000, that's ridiculous.
WSJ via Warming Glow: Jason Momoa's New Show Costs As Much Per Episode As 'Game Of Thrones' Did
That's not going to end well.
$15M an episode for SW isn't that crazy. I have no clue what Apple is doing though.
So new streaming services have latched onto the "spend way more money than you actually have" part of Netflix's business plan and nothing else, it seems
Lol, this is bizarre
Though I guess on second thought, it might work? Sort of a more gritty, less Jason-Katims-ian Friday Night Lights maybe?
heh. It's gonna to be the tv version of The Blind Side instead.
That's also just how negotiating generally works. You don't start by asking for what you'd reasonably like to end up at.
what does one have to do with the other? is Flowers a time travel superhero show too?
I hadn't heard of it. Looks promising. I see it has 100% on RT and 95% from users. I have seen all of Umbrella Academy...
Man for the right actors and crew this Apple TV thing must be insane, being overpaid insanely high (all deserve it for real though) for a product hardly anyone is gonna watch. Also "See" has to be the worst name for a TV show in 2019. You can't google it, trying to talk about it just ends up like a "Whose on first?" comedy bit, and it just invites all kind of bad puns like "Did you see see? Naw, nobody saw it".
No, One Day at a Time DESERVES it.
"¡Dale! papito, ¡Dale!"
We do need a new title because of the announcement of the final season of "How to Get Away with Murder." Anyone have any ideas?
"ABC Couldn't Get Away with Murder"
"How to Get Away without Getting Renewed"
More Aya Cash is always a good thing. The Boys is one of my most anticipated series coming this month.
I haven't read the Boys. Is Stormfront a weather controlling white power version of X-Men's Storm? Edit: once I clicked the link...yep she is. Or I guess it was a male character in the comics, a Thor-like.

At least Apple isn't skimping on the budgets for their original series...
I bet they change it before it premieres.
That's the point of the article. At one point, it was its own thing, but they basically retrofit it to more closely resemble S1's visual style at the expense of Andrea Arnold's unique direction.

That whole thing makes me almost irrationally angry, you hire one of the best American directors, take a look at her work and then decide to Vallée it up? It's like hiring a top designer to make a unique and inspiring garment and then giving it to a semi-drunk hatchet man so that you can mould it into some Forever 21 mass produced mediocrity.
(okay, so Little Big Lies is probably the one time I haven't gotten annoyed by Vallée's direction but thinking of what we could have gotten... man)
dammit. this counts as major. and I'm back home. so I'm running out of excuses.
I have thoughts on this: 🤐🤐🤐. That's it. That's the thought.
Flowers is fucking great. I liked his debut film Black Pond, but man Will Sharpe evolved quickly to make something like Flowers.
Andrea Arnold is born and raised in Kent, England fyi :)
But I get your point, totally agree on the madness of hiring her and then decided to retro fit her work to Vallée without telling Arnold. Plus she even started initial rough editing the footage back here in England prior to them pulling it away from her.
Real shame.

lmao, I have no idea why I put American in there. I think Fish Tank is her best work, and that one is decidedly not American.
Yeah, the amount of editors listed for some of the episodes is a bit bonkers with the euro ones being brought in by Arnoldm so that was a waste of the second best named Swede working in the industry, Dino Jonsäter.
Also, we need a full DOJ investigation into this:
But it's normal for american tv shows that the producers are ultimately in charge and shape the final product, so is this really surprising? They could have communicated their plans better but what happened doesn't seem to be that unusual.
It's not unusual for the producers to have final cut, but it is very unusual to neither instruct the director to hew precisely to an established style (if so desired) nor to provide a style guide. That's creatively and financially stupid. It's really, really shitty on a number of levels.
To piggyback off of DanGo's post, Vallee's only reason for hiring her was that "her style is kinda similar to mine." That's incredibly stupid considering you could have literally spent 4 hours watching her films and then deciding whether or not that assessment is true.
This whole fiasco reeks of ineptitude.
