🇺🇸A COLLECTION OF TRAILER PARK FILMS and MORE (1999-2018) by Giuseppe Andrews

@Part_Time_Hero @JurassicCollect Is it for sale

Would not have guessed in (65) million years that this thing was still around; the Jurassic Park: San Diego diorama from The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Universal Archives continue to surprise!

Part 2. Because it makes no sense that the VFX industry is collapsing when these movies make billions. Here's how VFX contracts actually work. A studio sends out a description of what they need. It might say something as vague as "an alien spaceship appears." VFX houses then bid against each other to win the work. The lowest bid usually wins. One artist told io9 it's "a race to the bottom" where studios "undercut each other so much that by the time they finally get that contract, they've bid so low they're lucky to break even." Profit margins at VFX studios sit in the single digits. Then the director changes their mind. New shots get added. Old shots get scrapped and rebuilt. But the contract price stays the same. VFX houses eat the cost of revisions because if they push back too hard, they won't get hired for the next project. There are only about six major studios buying VFX work. Lose one client, and you could lose a third of your revenue overnight. Rhythm and Hues' three largest clients accounted for 97% of its total revenue. That's Rhythm and Hues, the studio that filed for bankruptcy in February 2013, two weeks before winning the Oscar for Best Visual Effects for Life of Pi. The VFX supervisor's acceptance speech got cut off by the Jaws theme 44 seconds in, right as he started talking about the studio going under. Life of Pi made $608 million on a $120 million budget. The studio that made the tiger look real got nothing. Fast forward 12 years. MPC, owned by Technicolor, gets shortlisted for a VFX Oscar for its work on Mufasa: The Lion King. weeks later, Technicolor collapses. 4,500 jobs gone. same pattern. The studios that make the magic happen can win the industry's highest award and still go bankrupt because the business model treats their work as a commodity to be bid down to the floor. Between 2003 and 2013, 21 VFX companies closed or filed for bankruptcy. Every other person on a film set, camera operators, hair and makeup, and set designers, has had union protection for decades. VFX artists didn't get to vote on unionization until 2023. They were the last major film craft without a seat at the table. The people who make movies look like movies had zero leverage to push back on any of this.

The '90s were absolute cinema 🎬

Woody Allen is in the Epstein files but I refuse to believe he's the type of guy who would cheat on his daughter

@JSTONEOWNS1 @CodyLeachYT Is this Eden Lake?

Original TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE co-writer Kim Henkel will produce the new A24 TV series. Henkel said in a statement today, "It was a difficult decision, but A24’s embrace of boundary-testing genre film, and its record of working with artists who are inclined to test boundaries made them a compelling choice. Plus, we believe having a great creative and producing team—JT Mollner, Roy Lee, Dan Cohen and Glen Powell—in place gives us the best shot at a series that could be genuinely eye-opening and unexpected. "There’s an epic tale lurking in the Chainsaw backstory."

Most of y'all didn't read the wikileaks emails from 2016 and it shows

Whey aye!!!

Young people may not know this but there was a time when the internet had thousands of quirky, informative websites, when you could spend hours browsing and come away smarter rather than dumber. We have seen a wonderful thing destroyed in our lifetimes.
