How in the world does USC not call a timeout to get that fumble reviewed? Lincoln Riley is a disaster

USC is 6-2, mathematically still in this. Players are in belief they can run the table. I stand with the boys. Let the dudes on the field write their own story not the media. Run the table. Fk it let’s ball. Beat the Buckeyes ✌️

Weird stat: No team in college football history has defeated BYU a year after turning down a Pop-Tarts Bowl invite to play BYU the previous season

People like Smotrich are unfit to serve in the state built by survivors of pogroms, the Shoah, and many ethnic expulsions.
I encourage every diaspora Jew with ties in Israel to get your friends and family to vote against Bibi and his hateful stooges.

if Penn Stats thinks a white out is intimidating to USC they forget we flew across the country to play Alabama in 1970

Just so I understand: The NCAA can retroactively vacate wins and losses that happened 5 years ago because a guy took a cheeseburger or made money off his image before NIL, but can’t vacate a very clear instance where the wrong team won a game after being gifted a free play!?

Having our biggest land border be with a culturally compatible and economically integrated ally was a hugely important factor in the rise of the United States as a major power and it seems like a bad thing to throw that away now.
This is so true. I see so many generic loglines and it never makes me want to read the script. What make this different/special? What is the hook that makes people want to read the script/see the movie?

Your 132-page script did not get easier to read.
Your low-concept script did not get easier to sell.
And your period piece did not get less expensive to produce.
But you can and should be encouraged that if enough people really love your script, they are still writing checks.

People have been asking:
How can a combined Paramount-Warner possibly release 30 theatrical films annually without recreating the gigantic fixed-cost studio apparatus Ellison supposedly wants to eliminate?
Coyote vs. Acme provides part of the answer.
You don’t make thirty $150–250 million internally financed studio productions. You operate an ecosystem.
Some films are internally financed tentpoles, some are co-financed, some are negative pickups, some are distribution acquisitions, some involve licensed IP.
Some are produced by outside companies under tightly controlled franchise agreements.
And occasionally another company takes something sitting on your shelf and monetizes it.
The studio becomes less MOVIE FACTORY and more:
IP PLATFORM + CAPITAL ALLOCATOR + DISTRIBUTION NETWORK + BRAND GOVERNANCE SYSTEM.
That’s our freeway again.

Two unknown writers paid for a script consult which resulted in a rave review which resulted in a top manager reading which resulted in CAA repping which resulted in everyone reading which resulted in everyone loving which resulted in a huge studio sale. THIS IS GREAT NEWS.

The reason the USA is not progressing in Soccer is because none of our soccer stars get into legal trouble, have a judge sentence them to coach a youth team as punishment, and then take the rag tag groups of kids to the state championship where they beat the team full of rich kids.
I understand the sentiment - and agree that its easy for people who are not sharing in the financial risk to suddenly expect a share of the enormous profits. However, this is why everything has gotten so awful in America. We have completely severed the rewards from the hard work
Assume the movie had flopped and the director lost his entire $750,000 investment. How many crew members would have voluntarily returned their fees to help offset his loss?
This is the fundamental asymmetry in risk and reward. When someone puts up their own capital and shoulders the real financial risk especially in a high-failure industry like entertainment they alone bear the downside.
Yet the moment the project succeeds, suddenly everyone who was paid upfront wants a bigger piece of the pie. The same people who would not have shared in the loss now feel entitled to share disproportionately in the upside.
If you accept payment for your work regardless of outcome, you’ve already been compensated for your risk (or lack thereof). Why should the person who risked everything not be allowed to reap the rewards when their gamble pays off?
It's not about doing what is "fair" or "right". That's a nice story, but the reason why the cast and crew should get some small piece of the pie is to encourage great work in the future.
