asian counts

so to be eligible without forcibly casting black people you have to have an executive position held by a poc as well as offer internships to people based on their race

yes

so basically big studios can just create fake positions

to continue buying oscars

indies get screwed

yep

no more sundance flms winning awards

they can win the annual at-sea pirate movie award show

most pirated film award

Mulan

but only if enough people on the production team have a background in some form of sailing

i never hear about the live action disney movies until after they're released and everyone gets to cash in on them

the lion king in particular came out of nowhere

that was not live action

yes but same category

Spooky said the torrents for Mulan were insanely large

or the seeding counts

you can't get a good feel for DL numbers day 1

but the number of peers makes it seem like it was huge

i wonder how many of those are actual individuals though

not sure what you mean by that

DL numbers are tracked pretty reliably by tracking the number of nodes in a swarm that fully leech the file

i see

i was under the impression it was more nebulous which ones are distinc

imagine a pirate not knowing how piracy works

i'm more of a physical, at sea pirate

I mean, it's fair to say that it's not an exact number, that's true

but I'd say you've got a pretty solid confidence interval for what the actual number is

hm now that i think about it

i might need to put a pirate flag on my computer somewhere

desktop background

no i mean physically attached

custom case

the pirate's code is finnicky about not announcing piracy via flags in at least some point in the process

yeah that would be a good idea

One of the Copper fags is citing 1.3M unique downloads for Mulan so far, across everything they index

so there's the best number you'll get right now

but those will be <100k so who cares

that's a lot of people interested in watching something that was destined to be worthless

People are starved for new movies, nothing's come out this year

but paying $7.99/month and then another$30

maybe not, lol

at that size I guess movies are more like attraction shows than anything else

I think movies tend to do a better job at being "entertainment" than TV or Netflix shows do

too much of what gets pumped out nowadays is needlessly long or underedited

and while a lot of people like that, it makes moves feel different

movies are really good at telling stories meant for movies

personally I think the length is a bit lacking though

release the Lucas cut of RoS and have that be pirated en masse too

You can tell most stories in 1-2 hours

though that's a bit unfair, TV series aren't always trying to tell a story per-say

there's a lot of different types of stories

some are about events, some are sort of windows into a setting or life, and some are continous series that follow a cast or setting

movies can pack an optimal and curated amount of detail and polish to show the most important bits of a story

The Dutch have a word for that, which doesn't have an english equivalent

but some stories need both length and detail

to reach their full experience

I don't think I have the proper words to draw the distinction I want to draw I don't think story and narrative are the correct words

story is a pretty broad word

a multi-season television show, with dozens-hundreds of hours of film

isn't a single story

shows can have more plotthreads

I'm not tryng to say "arc", nor am I trying to say you can cut it up and have portions stand on their own

I think I see what you're saying though

that longer works are made up of multiple distinct stories that

can be by themselves?

like events

in a timeline

I just lack the word for that, but I think that form of content is different from a traditional 90-minute cinematic movie

or something

yeah, i'll think about it more, I'm not sure of my full train of thought

anyway

Mulan bad

you smell really bad

wait spooky

have you been dutch this whole time

or
