I got 2 episodes through this and decided it's just too bad to continue any longer. Are good writers really so rare in the world? You'd have thought there would be 100 decent writers jumping at the chance of writing something in the Alien universe.

>>28740 Predator is also in that universe so is Badlands watchable?

Today Bernd watched a lot, due to sickness and subsequent sick leave. >Blade Runner >Mad God >tried Hazbin Hotel, could be great but it seems we disalign too far >now running: Hardcore Henry

not TV but I've just found out that a new Jim Jarmusch's film is out and even won Berlin prize

>>28775 The last Jarmusch I watched was Paterson, which I liked. He also made some other good films.

>>28763 Why not watch Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer instead

>>28777 I'd say he's my fav director Paterson was a sweet nice movie I didn't like that one about zombies - hate it when the 4th wall is broken Deadman and Ghost Dog are the most powerful and picrel about vampires is also very nice

>>28779 Sounds like a rather vaginal movie tbh. Watching now: The Bodysnatchers!

>>28784 He's my favourite too. I didn't watch the zombie one because I heard it's terrible. Dead Man somehow I got bored of. The rest are gr8 and Paterson is my favourite.

>>28784 >>28796 Coffee and Cigarettes is good, also Night on Earth

The Dead Don't Die IS terrible, and I say that as a Jarmusch fanboy. Jarmusch is one of the directors who has bought into his own meme (like e.g. Burton and Tarantino). Everything about the film is way too on the nose, and it combines the out-of-touch boomer "old man yells at clouds" with contemporary problems like climate change, but that is not the worst about it. The worst about it is the references (HEY LOOK IT'S IGGY POP!), the incredibly unoriginal satire that was done earlier and better in Dawn of the Dead, and how Jarmusch thinks his audience is a bunch of fucking retards, exemplified by the bum played by Tom Waits stealing the MAGA caricature's chickens. Earlier in the film he claims he didn't steal the chickens. Later in the film he is seen eating chickens while watching the zombies shuffle, and he even FUCKING SAYS "Hmm tasty chicken", just so the last 89IQ bydlo subhuman gets the joke. >new Jarmusch is out, cool >....Mayim Bialik FUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGG

>>28784 Cosy film indeed, ideal to watch with a girl.

What’s Bernds take on this?

>>28829 Ashes to Ashes

>>28829 The Warner guys did the math and realized it was better to get 80 billion USD now than to hope for the movie and streaming industry (TV is dead anyways) to make those numbers in the future. I would say they're right. This transaction would increase Netflix' debt level by a factor of seven. They would have to keep their current profit levels for around 20 years to pay that off.

Movies are mostly about stories but netflix series are often about... the viewer coping

>>28843 > increase Netflix' debt level by a factor of seven are you sure they finance it by simply issuing debt? usually it's more nuanced

>>28846 > are you sure they finance it by simply issuing debt? usually it's more nuanced It isn't: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/netflix-lines-59-billion-debt-125547191.html They can only finance around 10 bn by giving the Warner investors Netflix stocks. The remaining 72 bn are financed through Netflix investors, cash and a 59 bn loan. 25bn of the 59 bn loan may be replaced by company bonds and sold to investors later on. But if Netflix was currently worth 25 bn to those types of investors, they could have just included them into this transaction right now.

>>28850 >59 bn loan okay, still pretty much and interesting that at this point it's not bonds - I guess those guys at Goldman Sachs are arranging that syndicate transaction

>>28851 25 bn of the 59 bn might be converted to bonds and sold to investors later. But yeah, the whole story doesn't smell too good. HBO is part of the deal. I was surprised to read that it isn't doing that well, given how celebrated some of its productions are.

>>28829 I don't watch western media so I don't care.
