Bloody Hedgehog posted:Holy poo poo, "Overtures" and "Intermissions". What the gently caress happened to you, Tarantino?! Did you forget the part where one of his most famous films had to be cut into two because he basically made two movies worth of footage that couldn't be cut shorter? Tarantino makes some cool stuff, but he's kinda always been a weird niche filmmaker precisely because of his obsession with emulating the past, or making his movie one huge homage to a particular genre.

Tarantino worked at a small theatre in Amsterdam where they only showed grindhouse movies, old westerns, basically anything with a low budget. Tarantino makes movies exactly like that with the difference of having very big budgets. I love it.

Pharma bro aka Martin Shkreli bought the sole copy of the $2 mil Wu Tang album and is keeping it in a vault and not listening to it. Except maybe if Taylor Swift or Katy Perry wants to listen to it, or something. http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2015/12/martin-shkreli-wu-tang-clan-businessweek-once-upon-a-time-in-shaolin-bad/419598/ quote:After the news broke he’d bought the album, he tweeted out a YouTube link: “Live streaming. Talking music, drugs and stuff. May play something special.” In the time I’ve been tuning in, he’s just played emo metal on Spotify while looking into the camera with an expression that could be used to illustrate the word “smug.” There's shadenfreude here, not sure which way it's going.

Hydrocodone posted:I love people freaking out over games so I hate to say this, but I'm pretty sure this video's staged. I watched the first half and it seems too choreographed. Plus I've played a lot of Warcraft and he doesn't look like he's really playing. Certainly not playing in any way that would challenge ANYONE who had a little practice with the game. I would add that the laptop in the video is clearly old (non-widescreen) and has a big yellow tag on the bottom that is indicative of a refurbished unit. which are usually found in staged computer destruction youtube videos because you can get them for like $50 or less online. It could just be indicative of being a broke college kid which they appear to be in the video but more often than not, anytime you see a laptop with a yellow tag on the bottom, it's an ancient POS that was bought for the sole purpose of destroying.

Assuming it's an actual, full-length album, who thought a one-time payment of 2 million would've been better than however much they'd get from name recognition alone?

I mean, they were lovely enough to make an album and then sell the one copy for $2 million for no good reason in the first place. As far as I'm concerned, Shkreli buying it is exactly what that plan deserved.

Lots of artists (sculptors, painters, etc) make single-copy works that are priced at what the market will bear. "That lovely Warhol didn't make a scan of his painting available with millions of others for $9.99/mo!"?

It's one of the stock images that were on my Ericsson T68i from the early 2000s, so having an animated drunk dialing guy was the peak of mobile technology. For added schadenfreude and as a big part of the reason that I chose this avatar, at the time when I had this phone and went out and got drunk partying, I would drunk dial and text lots of people and then delete my call and text logs before the night was over. That way my sober self in the morning would have no idea what drunk me did. I'm a lot more boring now.

It's lovely because Wu Tang thinks they're such brilliant talents that they can make exclusive songs that never get released to the public and sell them for millions of dollars to a single person. They kinda deserved to have their stunt get hijacked by an rear end in a top hat. Edit: Oh my God this loving quote. quote:“We’re about to put out a piece of art like nobody else has done in the history of music,” RZA told Forbes. “We’re making a single-sale collector’s item. This is like someone having the scepter of an Egyptian king.” Yeah they deserved that.

It's not like there's some objective scale. People buy very-limited-edition cars for crazy prices, and it's not because it costs millions in parts to build them. They'd rather have the car/album than the money, and the mere scarcity makes it more appealing to some people. $2M could be a week's earnings for some people, and I think there are lots of people who would spend a week's earnings on something special to them even if it weren't unique.

That's the kind of price that's usually for ultra-rare or one-of-a-kind collectible items, like John Lennon's personal diary from 1969 or something.

I'm looking for the article and I'll edit it in when I find it, but it's basically the other way around - the guy that bought it actually bought exclusive rights to the album, the buyer can redistribute and sell or give it away or whatever, WT now has no rights to it.
