“Los Angeles Filming Hit Record Lows Due to Pandemic.” Sigh. I guess this means more Toronto shooting: nothing destroys suspension of disbelief like lying about the city. The fastest way to ruin suspension of disbelief is with lies. Lies: going to LA’s “City Hall” when the actors are just heading into the ROM. I can…
In Canada streaming rights are not right. A breakdown of the movie terms because we’re experience a breakdown of cinematic releases. “In which I tell you exactly what the hell SVOD, PVOD and EST mean, and also how many movie theatres are currently open in Canada (23; yes, just 23 across the entire country).” Yo:…
“Netflix Q4 Review: Top Takeaways From a Watershed Quarter” #Netflix “said 83% of 2020’s net sub additions of 37 million came from outside the U.S. & Canada.” What’s going to happen to those cultures and their industries?
