#allblk originals

[ryanleonitus]

So what y’all been watching because the downside of having so many streaming services to choose from is the lack of quality content. Everything feels rushed and put out for the sake of having an “original.”

I can’t stand any of the Apple TV originals. I tried allblk (the steaming service) for a second and I literally can not find a show I can watch past the first episode. I had a hard rule about giving shows at least the three episode treatment but I’ve been breaking that rule consistently lately.

I’m biased and less critical when it comes to shows produced by POC and/or the rainbow community but it at least needs to have some decent dialogue. That’s the issue I’m having with most shows. The dialogue is absolutely terrible. What I’m seeing is shows that probably have some great ass budding actors but said actors are too green to “fill in the blanks” when it’s time to push the narrative. And because the shows are on the lower end of the budget, the potentially great writers are too green to know when the actors might need some verbatim. We end up with half baked, 45+ min episodes where 30mins of it was some back and forth banter between the main characters and someone (and probably just ONE) person in the editing closet said, “Just keep it.” Naw, throw that shit away.

Even the documentaries have gotten terrible. (Looking at you Peacock.) The investigative journalism shows are more like the subjects producing the show FOR the journalist who probably just needed a coin outside of the 10min think pieces they get to do on their respective news outlets.

In conclusion, I’m over it. 😩

So what y’all been watching?

AMC Networks stuff and things:

As it pertains to this article here, the restructuring, severance, and other organizational and write-downs happening at AMC... it appears as if they are planning to lay 20% of their US staff, in addition to the organizational and programming changes. Of the staff being laid off, one of which will be David Stefanou, SVP Original Programming & Development for WE tv, and Marco Bresaz, SVP of non-fiction & alternative programming for AMC and SundanceTV, who helped oversee both networks’ original non-fiction programming development and their portfolio of current non-fiction programming. [*emphasis mine]

So, not anyone that we know of that has anything to do with fictional programming, or programing on their main network. According to this article, AMC Networks consist of: “the bundle of cable channels (AMC Network, BBC America, IFC, SundanceTV, WE tv, and IFC Films) and streaming services (AMC+, Acorn TV, Shudder, Sundance Now, and ALLBLK)”

The article also mentions “programming assessments pertain to a broad mix of owned and licensed content, including legacy television series and films that will no longer be in active rotation on the company’s linear or digital platforms.“

To me, this sounds like they are going to be scaling down old stuff they stream on their services, and giving up licenses to other things. It doesn’t sound like they are considering scrapping shows they have created themselves which have more profitability.

Anyway, I don’t know anything for sure, and I am not super knowledgeable about the television business. But I do know the biggest shows they have in their arsenal are the TWDU shows, and the shows they have planned with Anne Rice (Interview with the Vampire, and Mayfair Witches to name a few) plus Discovery of Witches, and Kevin Can F*ck Himself and I don’t see them scrapping any TWDU shows when those shows have the biggest word of mouth, generate more engagement, and the have the ability to bring them more subscribers. (A quick glance at their website shows they still rely on TWDU heavily.)

I am so impressed with the quality of this show. Giving that black witchy vibe and experience in full force. All the ladies have their own spice and own power. Each week we have seen them grow their powers get into trouble and unite to fight the big fight ahead against Claudette a power coven leader. Stripped of her own powers she has found a way to recover some magicks but she is looking to steal the ones from the ladies of Mystic Haven. Will she succeed 🤔 only one way to find out!

Content Discontent

Horror fans are in full panic-bordering-on-riot mode this morning, in part due to We Got This Covered running an article yesterday with the ill-advised headline ‘HORROR FANS FEAR FOR FUTURE AS SHUDDER GETS AXED BY AMC’. This was inspired by a November 29th article on IndieWire about the massive layoffs and budget cuts coming to the AMC networks across the board. (Because that’s what pop culture news is now. Website A posts an article. Three weeks later Website B cherry picks something from that article. Then Website C wildly misrepresents something from Website B’s article. Then a bunch of dudes with beards on YouTube make increasingly brain-damaged speculations about it, which are then picked up by Website A as news, and the cycle begins again).

But I digress.

To clarify, Shudder* is not getting canceled. But they are expected to get hit by massive lay-offs and budget cuts, and that’s frustrating to me as a horror fan and infuriating to me as a horror professional. I’m not going to delve into why we need Shudder because SlashFilm does a good job on making the case for the channel’s vitality in this article. But I will say it’s time to circle the wagons and draw your swords and come to Shudder’s defense, and the best way to do that is to subscribe to the channel and stop pirating movies for fucking free.

But I digress again.

What I want to talk about is the original communique that started all of this — a memo that James Dolan, the CEO of AMC parent company MSG Entertainment, sent to all staff on Tuesday, November 29th. It reads:

AMC Networks Community:

As I am sure you are aware our industry has been under pressure from growing subscriber losses. This is primarily due to “cord cutting.” At the same time we have seen the rise of direct to consumer streaming apps including our own AMC+. It was our belief that cord cutting losses would be offset by gains in streaming. This has not been the case. We are primarily a content company and the mechanisms for the monetization of content are in disarray.

It is for that reason that myself and the Board of Directors of AMC Networks have concluded that we as a company need to conserve our resources at this time. We have directed the executive leadership of AMC Networks to undergo significant cutbacks in operations. These will include a large-scale layoff as well as cuts to every operating area of AMC Networks. We of course realize that this will cause significant concern and anxiety for our employees and those who rely on AMC Networks for their livelihood. We do not take this lightly. We will take every step possible to minimize the impact of these actions on our community. However, it is imperative that we begin immediately with this new course of action.

The Dolan Family and the Board of AMC Networks have great pride in the company and products that you have created. This is a confusing and uncertain time in our industry. We are confident that AMC Networks will come through this even stronger. Your executive leadership will follow up with details shortly. We wish only the best for everyone in the AMC Networks community.

Sincerely, James Dolan

To summarize — cable viewers switched over to streaming. The suits at MSG thought that these viewers would subscribe to the company’s streaming channels: Shudder, AMC+, Acorn TV, Sundance Now, ALLBLK, HIDIVE, etc., and that those subscription fees would offset the money the company lost in cable cancellations.

The part of that memo that really stuck out to me was “We are primarily a content company and the mechanisms for the monetization of content are in disarray.”

I loathe that word. “Content”. Think about what he’s referring to here for a minute. All of those great films on Shudder? He doesn’t see them as individual movies. He sees them as content. Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul — inarguably the most important television series to grace our culture since The Sopranos and The Wire? Simply content. Franchise behemoth The Walking Dead (which I stopped watching after season 2, which my dearly departed friend Dave ‘Meteornotes’ Thomas used to refer to as “Farmville with zombies”) is just content. And yes, we can argue the merits of the show and its spin-offs, but none of that matters. What matters is that the show has brought joy to lots of people. They tuned in week after week to watch a story, not content.

The reason MSG is struggling is because they don’t understand what they are manufacturing, producing and selling. You are not in the content business. You are in the art and storytelling and entertainment business. And when you sit in a boardroom and refer to something like Better Call Saul as content, you automatically devalue your product. This may be taking place on a subconscious level, but it’s happening nevertheless. How do I know this? You say so yourself in your memo. You’d hoped that consumers (me) would subscribe to your streaming channels. And I did subscribe to Shudder and I continue to renew that subscription every year, because Craig Engler and his team have curated a collection of horror movies that I simply cannot see anywhere else. If I want to watch The Sadness, for example, I have to watch it on Shudder. Craig and the rest of the Shudder team aren’t thinking in terms of content. They’re thinking in terms of storytelling and filmmaking and entertainment.

Not so the rest of MSG’s line-up. I didn’t subscribe to AMC+. You know why? Because Better Call Saul was available for streaming purchase elsewhere. Instead of making it exclusive to their app, like the Shudder exclusives, they viewed Better Call Saul as content. And then they made that content available on multiple platforms. Same goes for Breaking Bad. My 14-year old and all of his friends are crazy about Breaking Bad. But he watches it on Netflix, because the content is available there, and Dad already pays for a Netflix subscription.

If you want your streaming apps to be successful, James, and you want people to pay for them, then take a look in-house. take a look at what Shudder is doing. Instead of being in the content business, get into the storytelling and entertainment business. Look at your shows not as interchangeable content to spew out there into a slot, but as the individual works of art their creators view them as. And that we, the consumers view them as. And then market them as such. People can fault Disney all they want (and for good reason) but making the Marvel and Star Wars stuff exclusive to Disney+ was a smart move. If you want to watch them, you have to subscribe to the app. And sure, the bean counters and suits at Disney might refer to those works as content because it makes the shareholders happy, but in the production meetings and the writer’s rooms, they’re engaged in storytelling.

I’m hearing this word thrown around in publishing more and more, as well. First in comics, but now in book publishing. Content.

I’m not producing content. I’m telling stories. And if that makes me a dinosaur, if that makes me old fashioned, if that puts me on the endangered species list, then so be it. I‘ve survived three economic recessions in my career, and four seismic shifts to our business, and I’ll survive this next one, too. And if everybody else wants to go create content, that’s cool. It’s not for me, though. I’ll be over here writing old fashioned stories, and I’ll be content to do so.

Disclosures:

* Film adaptations of several of my works have either been pitched to Shudder in the past or are currently under consideration.

** The film adaptation of my novel GHOUL was a Chiller Network production.

Amazon Prime Video New Releases: December 2021

https://ift.tt/3ruWguK

The holiday season is almost here and Amazon Prime is getting in the mood with its list of December 2021 releases. Sure there are the usual Christmas movies to be found (namely A Christmas Star, Boxing Day, Christmas Is Cancelled, and a handful of Hallmark titles) but the real gift this month are two big original titles.

The sixth and final season of beloved sci-fi series The Expanse premieres on Dec. 10. Amazon is doing its usual release strategy of three episodes on the premiere day followed by a weekly schedule so there’s still some time to be spent with the crew of the Rocinante. The other big ticket item is the Desi and Lucy biopic Being the Ricardos on Dec. 21. Sure, Aaron Sorkin seems to be completely disinterested in I Love Lucy and Nicole Kidman bears no passing resemblance to the iconic comedienne whatsoever but uh…it’s a movie!
