A new, insidious anti wga take is "Minirooms are good, because group writing produces bad scripts."
I live in a film landscape with very few writing teams. And do you know why Hollywood dominates the worldwide film industry? Because they can produce good scripts incredibly fast, and cheaply. The only reason most European things even get made at all is that these productions are subsidised by tax money. It makes no financial sense to compete with the oiled machine that is Hollywood, they simply cannot sustain the amount of good writers that the Hollywood system can. Writer's rooms with well paid writers are a huge upfront cost, but they are the reason that near everybody in the world watches Hollywood productions. Minirooms can't work as fast, or as well, and that's why they're creaming their pants about AI, because that can work even faster. If that output stops, they're going to lose so much foreign revenue. It's cheaper to program American content, but if there isn't enough of that, it's suddenly cheaper to program other foreign content. Who cares what language they're dubbing from amirite? Maybe domestic movies start to fare better! Right now, Hollywood attracts all the best foreign talent, too - Brits, Irishmen, Germans, Dutchmen, Italians, Swedish, French, Australian, South African, Latin American, Indian, Chinese - the reason they all get cast is not because it's more convenient for the Yanks to hire foreigners they often simply are world class greats. And they can and do work anywhere the work is good.
So no, the US couldn't put out so much good stuff with minirooms only. And if they already hold a lot of foreign chains hostage, saying so much capacity must go to their product - and goodness that's often what it is - if it gets too bad you cannot compel enough people to go see it even then. AI could resolve the unsustainability of minirooms by being faster, but it can't sustain a minimum of quality and that was already hurting the box office.
And sure one good writer can write a very good movie or series but they cannot do it fast, not for long, and even the best showrunners are already understaffed. If Hollywood cannot supply the cheapest "content" for movie theatres, Latin America, China, Africa and Europe are going to program any other foreign stuff, while India, New Zealand and Australia are going to buy other English language fare. Or perhaps they'll dub. Simply put you need a lot of writers and the very best actors to supply the whole world. Minirooms aren't cutting it, even the execs know that, that's why they're hoping to exploit people with theft machines.

#afterwards i went to raohe night market 饒河夜市 cause there was a Vietnamese place i thought had bún chả#but what i mistakenly saw on the menu was actually bún cá#and i realised this error when i saw the Chinese under it as 魚米線#so i asked the lady about bún chả and she was like oh sure and then gave me bún thịt nướng??#Wikipedia says foreigners often think they're related maybe she thought i wouldn't care#i mean it was still good but my quest for bún chả goes unfulfilled#taiwan#taipei#lanterns#chinese new year#dragons#year of the dragon

"the michael kandel translation of "the witcher" short story can't hurt you!!"
the michael kandel translation of "the witcher" short story:
#WE HERE IN K L O T H S T U R#the witcher books#[ Nobody liked that. ]#i like how the first two 'main' translations (like published for mass market circulation ones i mean)#were like 'no we can't call it a strzyga... no no...'#(maybe like: 'the english readers won't understand...')#and then when the game and book hit (i.e. both beginning with geralt fighting the striga)#everyone was like 'whoa that striga was really cool'#idk idk enough about it yet to say anything definitively#but my experience and all the other reviews and experiences i've read#from other anglophone readers with no prior exposure to polish or broader slavic myth or culture#has been just like: 'whoa i never knew about that... that's really unique and cool'#and on the flip side. originally witcher gained popularity in part because of the familiarity of the fairy tale#and so despite that witcher in general takes a lot of everything from across europe#if i may just summarize it really obtusely and without taking the precaution of nuance and all#although the first two translations were very much intended to feature polish writers and writing#in the way of the actual translation it feels like they tried to diminish its 'polishness' for the english reader#like for example in chosen by fate itself there are no diacritics (though idk maybe that was a lack of capability of the printing press)#it FEELS like that i'm not saying it was intentional but#for example when you don't say 'leshies' and instead say 'bugbears' that feels like diminishing it#but then later when the witcher's quote-unquote 'polishness' is allowed to come through clearer#then it actually is part of why english audiences were like whoa this is interesting i like it :)#you know real-life events are stories too. and i feel like this is a story with a good moral: 'be yourself'#this is also one of the prime subjects where i disagree with sapkowski lol#because re: 'death of the author' theory type stuff. authors cannot control how their works are interpreted by their audiences#works get interpreted on their own fortunately or unfortunately#so though i think it would be misled to engage with the witcher as if its ONLY good quality is its 'polishness'#i think that also it should be acknowledged how its unique take on culture made it appealing to both domestic and foreign audiences#i think where the problem lies is when we believe it can't be both polish and a blend of multiple cultures and traditions#because like yeah. author is an arthurian weeb

Is anyone overtaken by anger whenever they think of Hollywood's tendency to remake whole ass foreign movies instead of subbing of even dubbing the damn thing because god forbid the average yankee is exposed to a non anglo culture
Or is it just me?
#malu.text#this post was inspired by me watching the original ringu#and being reminded of the speak no evil remake of the dannish movie of the same name from 20-FUCKING-22#like. I'm Brazilian#I've been watching american movies since forever cause they saturate our market#but even with the success of parasite 2019 hollywood still insists on coddling its viewers#by continuing to center usamerican views in foreign movies#the double standards and cultural imperialism is fucking ridiculous

i think Long Distance actually finally coming out was the universe kind of making up for the other bullshit it put me through this year. just in time for christmas <3
#this is actually surreal to me. like.. its public knowledge that this movie was filmed in 2020 during social distancing#bc thats the only news it ever got before silence and release dates that got pushed year after year#and that whole time i couldnt say anything. because there was not even a trailer to share. not even a poster#and keep in mind the whole time im like “this was some of the MOST fun ive ever had working on something in my career”#and desperately waiting for the day i can proudly display my work in my portfolio....#and then it had an unusual foreign release under the radar???? and still months of no news of a domestic release?????#STILL no marketing?????????#and then suddenly its just out#like OH OKAY???#IM POPPING CHAMPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIGN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#im not. but metaphorically#i told EVERYONE today#i was SO fucking excited#like alright let me do your marketing for you then#im gonna watch it this weekend with friends.. omg finally seeing the whole thing.. finally hearing the music and sound effects...#jennilargh

That’s exactly what I’m saying like
#like other markets manage to make space for people from other countries#but the American market is always the American market#until it’s a rogue foreign act and then bc there’s more money in the US market the international acts never see their home countries or the#smaller markets that built them up to the American market ever again 🤣 5SOS and their accents

On Gentrification: No Tickets At The Door
vimeo
No Tickets At The Door is an in-depth look into Toronto’s diverse underground music scene and the myriad of challenges that musicians, promoters, and venues are facing during COVID-19. Questions about creative survival and perseverance during lockdown, as well as the overwhelming effects of merciless gentrification, are actively raised and discussed by the community. Part documentary, part love letter to the scene, filmmaker and musician Danny Alexander explores the creative impulses that are driving musicians today while paying close attention to the endangered status of Toronto as an incubator for the arts. Featuring interviews with prominent contributors such as Sook-Yin Lee, Dan Burke, Luna Li, Yamantaka//Sonic Titan, and TRP.P, owners of historic venues like the Horseshoe Tavern, and local politicians who are championing the arts, No Tickets At The Door examines the importance of music communities in the modern age and what is at stake if a city is no longer hospitable towards them.
#Toronto#music#music scene#musicians#gentrification#capitalism#housing#housing crisis#working class#working class musicians#also: hw TF is an Australian church (??) allowed to buy land in Toronto?
