Reply to Future-Set Hello Tomorrow! Is Another Unique, (Qualified) Success for Apple TV+ by PetyrDayne
Just looking at overall sentiment and user reviews on multiple online sites, this show is likely be canceled on any other network. It's Apple though and they don't care about making money on AppleTV+ so who knows. Maybe it is a success for them.
At least the reviews are decent.

I think you're being too sensitive, but who knows, maybe he is an asshole IRL. A lot of southern guys rib each other like that though.
I guess if it's true the truth will come out eventually, I wouldn't draw a conclusion from just one article.

He invited them over to his ranch and served them wine and promised to write a part tailored for them? Is that the part you're talking about?
I'm not seeing it unless you've heard Ford say that he was offended by how Taylor treated him.

He just sounds kinda grateful to be so successful in that interview tbh? He seems to be excited about/interested in a lot of different things which is a trait you want in a writer.
I did find that story about the HBO execs snubbing him kinda funny though

IIRC 1883 was renewed for a season 2 coming some time in 2023

According to the article it's due to all the practical effects and on-location shooting in Africa. Apparently getting thousands of cattle and horses together to run across the country while shooting on a helicopter is expensive. Plus Ford and Mirren couldn't have come cheap.
Makes sense why everything is going CGI nowadays, especially with the pandemic still causing issues.

Reply to Streaming’s Golden Age Is Suddenly Dimming. After years of breakneck growth, the number of scripted TV series orders made by networks and streamers is in decline. by 08830
It will probably take a decade but I wouldn't be surprised to see all the traditional television studios closing down and all TV coming from Amazon/Apple/Youtube. Those 3 have enough money to bankrupt the studios 10 times over.
And as always Congress will fine them $20 million for anticompetitive practices a few years after most of the studios close up shop.

Reply to comment by iamboywond3r in 'Tulsa King' Renewed for Season 2 at Paramount+ by MarvelsGrantMan136
He did say that, but I also think he wants to be remembered as a respectable actor in his own right, and this show has the potential to expand that notion. He's already got "f- you" money.

If you watch episode 2, he actually justifies his cut by negotiating a better deal for the business (and the numbers suggest profit margins greater than the 20% cut he's taking).
I think the pot shop owner just wants to smoke and chill and he warmed up to the idea of Sly taking over the "finer points of business".

>People are the real danger and the blight on this planet....not the animals.
Assigning traits of "innocence" to animals is also flawed though.
Animals can and will exploit their surroundings to the point of exhaustion when given the chance - for example when they're introduced to an environment that hasn't adapted to accomodate them.

Reply to comment by be-like-water-2022 in Mo Brings Plenty Was About to Quit Acting. Then Came ‘Yellowstone.’ by Reditate
People keep spreading this news around but I can't find anywhere where Kelsey was actually quoted as claiming to be part native.
The only direct source I can find is a New York Times article written by a part-time Law Professor, where he mentions that Kelsey is part Taiwan, British, and Cherokee descent. But there's no actual quote from Kelsey directly stating this and I've seen no corroborations. Just the law professor writing an unverified opinion piece that doesn't have a lot of sources backing it up.
Maybe the criticism is valid and fair, but as far as I can see this "controversy" was drummed up by a few individuals who were upset that a non-Native American was cast in a Native American role.
This part is actually true - many Native bloggers were upset that Kelsey was cast in the role because they felt that the role should go to someone of Native descent, not a Taiwanese-American.

Reply to comment by WakandaNowAndThen in Roku to Lay Off 200 Employees, Cutting Headcount by 7% by MarvelsGrantMan136
Looking at their last quarterly filing, Roku has $2b cash on hand and is burning around $100-200m/quarter due to the ad downturn. They should have the cash reserves to weather the recession pretty easily, especially with the announced layoffs.
Unless the recession lasts more than 2-3 years...in which case quite a lot of companies are going to go down.

There was a survey study conducted by Variety that listed Roku Channel as one of the most used services among the FAST channels.

Peacock was used by 21% of people, Roku came in at 15%, and pluto came in at 14%.
Tubi and Freevee rounded out the top 5 at 11% for each.

Reply to ‘Yellowjackets’ Season 2 Premiere Draws Nearly 2M Viewers, Breaks Showtime Streaming Record by MarvelsGrantMan136
Premiere was absolutely great and the previews I've seen for episode 2 look crazy.
Also I've heard of Christina Ricci throughout the years but never had a chance to watch any show she was in until now. She stands out among an already excellent cast and she's even better season 2. Def one of my fave characters on the show.
