Have you heard about the Polish Train company, Newag, and the bullshit it turns out they got up to?

So, the regional rail operator Koleje Dolnośląskie bought some Newag Impuls back in 2016 . In late 2021, some of them need to have major maintenance done, as they've been in service a while. So the company SPS (Serwis Pojazdów Szynowych) gets the contract to fix them. They basically take the train apart, replace a bunch of it, following all the rules in the documentation Newag gave them, and... it won't move. The train says everything is fine, the brakes are off, there's plenty of power, but you push the throttle up and it won't move.

SPS spends a while trying to figure out what the fuck is wrong, with no luck. So they hire some hackers from the Polish security group Dragon Sector. Dragon Sector figures out how to get into the code of the computer system that runs the train, and OH MY GOD.

So it turns out there's a secret train-lock system. If it's on, the train won't move. This will be triggered in some situations you might think are normal: the clocks are wrong, the serial numbers of the various parts have changed, and a firmware mismatch between the main computer and the power system. Now, the fact that it makes sense to not run the train in these situations until someone can check it? that doesn't extend to the fact the train uses a SECRET lock system, rather than just popping up an error message telling you what's wrong. There's also the problem that while these are all potential error problems, they can't be cleared by anyone with the technical manuals, which are supposed to cover everything about how to run these trains. Only Newag themselves can reset this system.

Which, you know, keeps SPS from properly fixing them. Only Newag can fix them now, but not because SPS lacks any technical ability, but because Newag sabotaged their own trains. But don't worry: it gets worse.

So now that Dragon Sector knows what's happening, they get to look at other trains. It turns out the trains aren't all running the same software, and there are other tricks in there.

One of them is a "how long has the train been stopped?" check. If the train hasn't hit 60 km/h in 10 days, the train locks itself and won't move until Newag can clear it. So, like, if a train is ever out of service, like it's going to a repair place... it'll break itself. Unless the repair place is owned by Newag.

But two of the trains go further: See, these trains have GPS built in, right? You may be able to guess where this is going...

THEY JUST MAKE THE TRAIN CHECK IF IT IS PARKED AT THEIR COMPETITORS' REPAIR YARD AND BREAK ITSELF IF IT WAS.

The sheer audacity of this move. This is frighteningly bullshit anti-competition self-sabotage.

This has, obviously, made some parts of the Polish government to start investigating this. Newag may be (and hopefully will be) in a lot of trouble.

For more info, there's a great video of a presentation by the three people from Dragon Sector who did the hacking, which was presented at the 37th Chaos Communication Congress in Germany.

Ars Technica also has an article on it, but it predates the presentation so it doesn't have some of the later details.

Anyway, the good news is that in the end the hackers at Dragon Sector were able to unlock most of the trains: A few had additional trickery that they didn't want to hack around, because it might break the train's certification. For the others, they discovered undocumented "cheat codes" in the software that they could use to bypass the secret lockouts... presumably the same ones that Newag would have used when they "repaired" trains.

hey girl are you in violation of Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations Part 1910.147, because i'd hot tap that ass, and the exception listed in 1910.147(a)(2)(iii)(A), uh... actually, wait, shit is that even the right one? [flipping through a gigantic book] uh... shit where is it... shit. fuck. okay no it was 1910.147(a)(2)(iii)(B). uhhh. anyway I'd hot tap that ass... without...... proper lockout/tagout procedures... and your ass does not qualify as [tracing my finger along the page as I read] a transmission or distribution system for substances such as gas, steam, water or petroleum products where, uhhh, where the employer has—wow okay this is a lot more than i remembered—where the employer has... demonstrated that continuity of service is essential, shutdown of the system is impractical, and documented procedures are followed, and special equipment is used which will provide proven effective protection for employees. yeah. oh, 1910.147(a)(2)(iii)(A) is an exception too of course, but that one doesn't reference hot tapping so it doesn't work as a double entendre. but that one doesn't apply to your ass either, just trust me. oh, nor does the other set of exceptions in 1910.147(a)(1)(ii). so. um. uhh. I forget where I was going with this. sorry to bother you.

Alright, let's talk financials for Brave New World.

At a reported budget of $180m and applying the budget x 2 rule-of-thumb, Brave New World would need to hit about $360m to make back profit. Is it going to pull that off? Uh. Yeah. Obviously. Where have you been? This is an MCU movie.

We only have opening weekend sales to go on right now, which means we can't account for quality measurements like word-of-mouth and repeat showings until next weekend. Opening weekend is a measurement of a film's hype train. How well it was marketed and how much pre-existing anticipation there was going into it.

Hype drives opening weekend, and then audience reception drives the week-over-week drop.

Brave New World saw an opening of $88.8m. That slots the film's hype train just above Thor: The Dark World and Dr. Strange, and just under Spider-Man: Far From Home and Guardians of the Galaxy.

"Wait, isn't Thor: The Dark World terrible?" Yeah, but it sold. It made more money than two out of three Iron Man movies and all three Ant-Man films. The hype train coming out of Avengers 1 was insane.

In fact, that's a problem that a lot of Phase Four and Five movies have had to deal with, on top of the real-world political and social complications. For a lot of people, the MCU ended in 2019. It's done. Story's over. What are we still doing here? And that's a significant point of negative hype.

This film itself occupies a bit of an awkward space. It's kind of a franchise entry into the Captain America series but it's also kind of the first movie of a brand new Captain America series but then it's also kind of not that either because a Disney Plus series exists. And then, separate from that, it's kind of the direct sequel to an unrelated character's movie from almost twenty years ago.

It has a bit of an identity problem.

And also potentially a "Perception of Continuity Lockout" risk. That is to say, you don't need to have watched The Falcon and the Winter Soldier to understand this movie. But you might think that you have to. This is the Problem of Disney Plus that the entire MCU is reckoning with. The perceived threat of Required Homework in an entirely different medium is, in and of itself, a negative hype factor.

When trying to put asses in seats, it doesn't matter if you need to have watched these other things. It only matters whether you think you do. That's what will make or break the sale. And Brave New World seems like you need to have seen Incredible Hulk and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier to enjoy it, one of which is the MCU's second-worst selling film and the other is a TV miniseries paywalled behind a subscription service. So that's not great.

So, there's a lot of negative hype factors working against it. Consequently, it's not really surprising that Brave New World opened at #3 on the Captain America franchise charts.

Civil War: $179.1m Winter Soldier: $95.0m Brave New World: $88.8m First Avenger: $65.1m

That's not great... at first glance. But Civil War is an Avengers movie and made Avengers dollars because of it so get that shit out of there. If Robert Downey Jr. showed up as a resurrected Tony Stark to costar with Anthony Mackie and they brought all the Avengers in and also Wolverine was there, this movie would break a billion too. That is what we call an outlier.

Winter Soldier: $95.0m Brave New World: $88.8m First Avenger: $65.1m

So. Yeah. With the sockpuppeting Avengers movie out of the picture, things look a bit different. It's no surprise that Brave New World's hype train underperformed that of Winter Soldier, but it didn't underperform it by much. With all this negative hype working against it, it still landed in a fairly respectable position. Other movies in its ballpark made between $600-800m, which is a reasonable zone of expectation for Brave New World too.

A lot is going to hinge on how it breaks out week-over-week, once people have a chance to talk about the movie and decide whether they like it or not.

[is-the-battlemech-cool-or-not]

Luna - ARRIVAL

The steady rumble of approaching ‘Mechs shook the ground outside FOB HAWK. Inside the cavernous MechBay, the air buzzed with the usual controlled chaos of repairs and rearmament. Warrant Officer Karrie DeLacey hovered near the main console, her fingers idly fidgeting with a wrench while her eyes darted toward the bay doors. Despite the base’s constant activity, her mind was preoccupied with the orders she’d received earlier that morning: two new machines, classified and experimental, assigned to Bays 6 and 7—just down the row from Spirit’s infamous Death Knell.

Karrie’s stomach churned as she glanced at Bay 8, where the stealthy Timber Wolf rested behind sensor-scrambling technology and lockouts that only she and Sigrid could bypass. She couldn’t help but wonder: Were these new arrivals connected to Spirit? Could they be related to the strange, secretive mission parameters Spirit always seemed to operate under?

Her train of thought was interrupted by a low murmur spreading among the MechTechs. The telltale rhythm of heavy footfalls grew louder, the sound reverberating through the steel walls. The team froze as the first ‘Mech came into view, its sleek, angular form emerging from the shadows like a predator.

The first 'Mech, looking like an Uziel that had seen too many fetish movies and covered itself in a black drone suit, stepped into the bay with an eerie grace. Its matte black armor gleamed faintly under the overhead lights, giving it an almost spectral quality. It moved with purpose, each step deliberate, before stopping in front of Bay 6.

“Is that… an Uziel?” one of the junior techs whispered.

“Not like any Uziel I’ve ever seen,” muttered another. "Little bigger, no PPCs…"

Then came the second machine. It was a towering presence, looking as though the first Uziel had been cloned and then forcefed a diet of steroids—it'a got to be north of 60 tons, maybe 70, thought Karrie, her ears picking up the difference in the footfalls between the two machines. Its frame was also swathed in similar, glossy black stealth armor. The twin Rotary AC/5s mounted on its arms and the menacing bulk of two SRM racks above the cockpit gave it the look of a machine designed for nothing but ambush and destruction.

Karrie stood rooted to the spot, her heart racing as her eyes drank in every detail of the two machines. “Woagh…” she whispered to herself, clutching the wrench tighter.

The bay fell silent as the machines powered down, and the pilots disembarked. Hustler was the first to descend. His movements were efficient and unhurried, his matte black bodysuit and opaque visor giving him an air of quiet intimidation. The MechTechs whispered among themselves, casting nervous glances as he walked past.

“Isn’t that the SLSOC guy? The one who never talks to anyone?”

“Yeah. Heard he’s some kind of cybernetic prototype. Creepy as hell.”

But it was the second figure who truly stole the room’s attention. Luna stepped down with feline grace, her slate-gray body gleaming with radiant golden accents. Her glowing eyes swept the bay, taking in every detail with a curiosity that felt both mechanical and deeply human.

Karrie felt her breath catch in her throat. She’s not human, her mind screamed, but there was something in Luna’s movements—her calm, measured steps, the way she looked at the MechTechs and nodded politely—that made her seem more alive than anyone Karrie had ever met.

“Good evening,” Luna said, her voice smooth and warm. “I am Luna. Thank you for preparing accommodations for myself and my machine. It is appreciated.”

The MechTechs gawked, but Karrie felt her feet moving before her brain caught up. She stepped forward, her hands clutching the wrench like a lifeline. “Uh, h-hi. Warrant Officer Karrie DeLacey,” she stammered, her cheeks flushing as Luna’s glowing gaze turned to her. “I, uh, I’ll be overseeing the servicing of your ‘Mechs. If, um, that’s okay with you?”

Luna smiled, a subtle but unmistakably warm expression. “That would be more than acceptable, Warrant Officer DeLacey. Thank you for your assistance.”

Karrie nodded rapidly, her face burning. “Y-you’re welcome. I mean, it’s my job. I mean, uh, you’re welcome.”

Hustler, standing off to the side, spoke quietly, his suit-modulated voice breaking the tension. “You seem stressed. Do not be. We will not hurt you.”

Karrie managed a nervous laugh, but her attention remained fixed on Luna. “Your ‘Mech is… incredible. Both of them are. But yours… It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen.”

“Thank you,” Luna said, her tone carrying a hint of pride. “Sekhmet is indeed unique. She is very dear to me.”

As the MechTechs moved to begin diagnostics, the whispers started anew.

“They’re definitely connected to Spirit,” one tech murmured.

“Yeah, those security upgrades on Bays 6 and 7? Same tech they use for Spirit's 'Mech. Has to be related.”

Karrie heard the whispers but ignored them, her focus entirely on Luna and Sekhmet. She glanced at Hustler’s Hustler One and felt a pang of curiosity. “Are you two, uh, part of the same project as Spirit?” she asked cautiously, not wanting to give anything potentially classified away.

Luna tilted her head, her optics glowing faintly brighter. “Spirit? I have heard the name mentioned but am not personally familiar.”

Hustler tilted his head slightly. “Negative. I have had no association with Spirit prior to this operation.”

Karrie nodded, though her mind raced with questions, but she pushed them aside. She resolved to do what she did best—fix the 'Mechs. For now, she turned to her team and barked out orders, her earlier awkwardness replaced by the confidence she only felt when working with machines.

“Alright, let’s get these beauties up on the gantries. Full diagnostic sweeps, and no one touches a damn thing until I clear it. Got it?”

As the techs scrambled to comply, Luna stepped closer to Karrie. “Thank you, Warrant Officer. Your enthusiasm is… refreshing.”

Karrie blinked, her face turning red again. “Uh, y-you’re welcome. It’s an honor, really. And you can call me Karrie. If, uh, you want.”

Luna smiled again. “Karrie, then. I look forward to working with you.”

As Luna and Hustler walked away, Karrie looked to the two 'Mechs.

Time to get to work.

Here's another article about the current contraction within Hollywood, this time focusing on the crew members. My question is, what will it take for Hollywood to break out of the current contraction, if it does, or is this the new normal?

.

Link.   There will be a new normal, this is probably the 3rd new normal in my lifetime. Due to the boom era that culminated during the streaming decade, peaking in 2015, a lot of people moved to L.A and got into the industry. Now it's the bust era and there's a surplus of crew and a shortage of projects. A lot of people are going to get weeded out. Only some will be able to stay in the industry, others who aren't working will find other work while they bide their time, move to another city with more projects (and not enough crew), or leave the industry altogether. Eventually we'll be back at something closer to equilibrium, but with lot less crew members in the industry in LA. That goes the same for actors, writers, and producers.

Back in 19'70s, legacy studios were going belly up because people moved out to the suburbs and stayed home to watch TV instead of going out to see movies. Same problem today, covid lockout taught people to wait for movies to leave the theater and show up on their streaming services 80 days later. During the '70s, independent films took off, including something called Star Wars. Soon blockbusters were in and small quirky arty films were out and the "Hollywood Renaissance" era began. In contrast the Japanese own film industry never won their battle against tv.

The current tv landscape also reminds me of the 1990s when network TV struggling to regain an audience in the age of cable, the VCR/DVD, and satellite TV. Then they discover The Bundle. The cable-tv bundle was very lucrative because companies were paid twice: first by cable distributors, which shelled out billions every year to have channels like ESPN available for their subscribers, and then by advertisers, which opened their wallets to promote products alongside the hottest shows. Now that era is gone due to cord cutting so they're figuring out a new bundling scheme with streaming services.

But the current problem today is also started back in the 1990s when tech nerds started to take over Hollywood, they didn't understand show business and why tv and film budgets exploded since the 90s. That problem came home to roost in the 2020s, resulting in slashing production budgets by 60%.

Excerpt from the article:

Even the shows and films shooting in L.A. now have slashed many departments, he added, noting sets that historically employed 20 hairstylists now have just two or three.

Orion said “9-1-1” was a “very hard show,” noting that crew member Rico Priem recently died in a car accident after pulling a 14-hour overnight shift. “We were all tired, it was a very terrible thing,” Orion said after noting that hours on sets are generally “brutal and relentless."

Outside of the U.S., several countries, including the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia, are offering cushy tax incentives for studios, where they can bypass unions and pay crews lower wages than in the States.
