That is cool. Do you know if 4K80 is done? I've found 4k77 and 4k83, but not Empire.

According to this video, 4K80 is still in Beta and only at 1080p right now. It's the one that's required the most work due to film damage on the reels they were able to get.



Back to our stunning, brave, and diverse crew of The Marvels...



and...

Par for the mediocre course these days.

You see, the problem isn't the movie. The problem is the ungrateful audience. Call me crazy, but somehow, I don't see such an attitude as increasing box office for this "film".

If a movie is good, it doesn't matter how many "incels" boycott it, and ultimately nobody will care if the characters are women or gay or even if they're a filthy Dutchman. Claiming this tiny minority of angry dorks is why your movie is doing poorly at the box office is just a roundabout way of saying it sucks and you know it. Take the L like an adult and try again.

Good writer but my Lord, what a shit human being.

Saw a discussion on this that said he has never been right in the head after his car accident.

Don't forget this is the same man that wrote a book about a group of 12 year olds harassed by a demon clown that locks them in a house, and the only way they can figure out how to leave is to gangbang the only girl in the group.

Whatever, Steve. 65% of “The Marvels” audience was male. So if anybody is avoiding the movie due to “Yuk, Girls”, it was women. Perhaps all the women were at WNBA games and were too busy to support this movie?

Like Bill Burr said, women failed women here. It’s time for women to lift their side of the couch. The failure of this movie isn’t on men.

Adolescent boys are exactly who would be watching this movie. They might be disappointed when they find out real women don't have the exaggeratedly voluptuous figures of the comic characters.

Nolte: Disney Report Warns Investors Social Goals Take Priority over Profits

The Disney Grooming Syndicate’s annual SEC report tried to bury its foundational problems in the word salad of all word salads. Thankfully, That Park Place saw right through it. The key takeaway from the report is that Disney, as required by law in these filings, is warning investors that its social goals are more important than profits.

“There is in such things a statement of the various ‘Risk factors’ the company may encounter,” explains That Park Place, “all in the obligatory legal way to avoid people later saying ‘You never warned us about this!!’”

In other words, in this annual report, Disney must warn stockholders and potential stockholders of the risks these investors are accepting if they hold or choose to purchase Disney’s ailing stock. Here’s a key takeaway hidden within a pile of Disney’s CorporateSpeak [emphasis mine]:

We face risks relating to misalignment with public and consumer tastes and preferences for entertainment, travel and consumer products, which impact demand for our entertainment offerings and products and the profitability of any of our businesses. Our businesses create entertainment, travel and consumer products whose success depends substantially on consumer tastes and preferences that change in often unpredictable ways. The success of our businesses depends on our ability to consistently create compelling content, which may be distributed, among other ways, through broadcast, cable, theaters, internet or mobile technology, and used in theme park attractions, hotels and other resort facilities and travel experiences and consumer products. Such distribution must meet the changing preferences of the broad consumer market and respond to competition from an expanding array of choices facilitated by technological developments in the delivery of content. The success of our theme parks, resorts, cruise ships and experiences, as well as our theatrical releases, depends on demand for public or out-of-home entertainment experiences. Demand for certain out-of-home entertainment experiences, such as theater-going to watch movies, has not returned to pre-pandemic levels. In addition, many of our businesses increasingly depend on acceptance of our offerings and products by consumers outside the U.S. The success of our businesses therefore depends on our ability to successfully predict and adapt to changing consumer tastes and preferences outside as well as inside the U.S. Moreover, we must often invest substantial amounts in content production and acquisition, acquisition of sports rights, launch of new sports-related studio programming, theme park attractions, cruise ships or hotels and other facilities or customer facing platforms before we know the extent to which these products will earn consumer acceptance, and these products may be introduced into a significantly different market or economic or social climate from the one we anticipated at the time of the investment decisions. Generally, our revenues and profitability are adversely impacted when our entertainment offerings and products, as well as our methods to make our offerings and products available to consumers, do not achieve sufficient consumer acceptance. Further, consumers’ perceptions of our position on matters of public interest, including our efforts to achieve certain of our environmental and social goals, often differ widely and present risks to our reputation and brands.

Sounds like they will soon have fewer investors to tell such things.

Yeah, they really should think that most investors buy stock for it's value to go up....not down.

Copies of the Disney’s new marketing plan are apparently available on Amazon:
