it's just such a business person thing to look at the market and go "there's not much premium short content, this is an opportunity" without even thinking for a second there might be a reason why

thats why you still work for a living

god of cookery is still my favorite, it's basically the same movie but about celebrity chefs, chow even recycled a lot of the jokes for shaolin soccer

almost all the movies he directed recycle jokes & use the same actors and basic plot structure. theyre all good. and before he was a director he was an incredibly prolific actor, like in 15-20 films a year in the early 90s

What is it with these CEOs that fail every venture, even taking over big companies and leaving them as small companies, and still getting their next gig as though nothing ever happened?

1) she probably enriched a lot of her friends along the way

2) quibi appears to have been an experiment in scabbing/union-busting hollywood, as well as DRM-locking a streaming service to one device so you can't share with your family

my concern with quibi is that tmo bundles it with their current set of “Magenta” plans, and as the plan is $10 more a month, along with Netflix, there is some financial payment diverted into their pockets.

Could you really only watch Quibi from your phone (Casting to a TV)? There was no way to like, install an app onto a PS4 or something?

Also I could KIND OF see the idea of "10-20 minute episode TV shows" working for kid's programming. Cartoons tend to be two segments around that length, so I could see that working in theory. But then they seemed to try to get programming similar to Netflix and poo poo and went for shows that don't benefit from that setup like at all.

they released apps for several streaming devices. I believe at first it blocked casting too

literally the day before the entire service stopped existing :getin:
