AMC, Regal, and other chains are pulling The Interview
I'm pretty surprised at how gutless everyone is. I have no idea how funny the movie will be, but I liked the trailer and I was hoping to see it. I wonder how much they could make if it goes straight to on demand.

And I think most of international politics is bullshit at this point. The world is a series of interconnected transnational corporations. Including the US. Government in the 21st century is all about business.
I've had a film I scored in 2011 that's been sitting in the can at Sony/Columbia. I'm not saying the film is any good (and it's not) but they should release it and let the producer move on.

The coolest part was attending a screening, which is in the basement of Columbia Pictures. They had the largest, most comfortable theater seats in the entire world. Since I'd seen the movie a billion times while scoring it, I sat there and imagined what the hell had gone on down there in the past 90 years.

The truth is, I have no idea why trailers are cut as they are these days. Some seem to give away the entire plot, some seem vague and some just don't represent the film at all.

It's definitely a mystery.
how did you get into the industry?

I ended up working for both Universal and Paramount's music division, which was awesome. I learned the music business inside and out and was an exec when I left in 2004.

The intention was to get into film and TV immediately but life got in the way. We bought a house that needed a massive remodel from top to bottom, decided to travel and start a family. I didn't get a chance to follow my "dream" until late 2010.

I attended a networking party and met several emormously successful guys and really hit it off with one guy in particular. As it turned out, he had earned $500k plus per year for a decade through music libraries and commercials. The guy had "the" life. His royalties will continue far beyond his lifetime and barely even worked anymore.

Anyway, he suggested I get into the same business. I followed his advice and while he introduced me to several of his contacts, I began watching reality TV to find out which libraries were "hot". I began making notes and contacting them via email the next day. Unfortunately, most said it would be at least 90 days after submission before I'd receive a response. Much to my surprise, they all contacted me within four or five hours.

My wife and I began hearing my music on TV within weeks. I've been very fortunate and have placed music on more than 1,400 episodes of network and cable TV in the past 15 months, all part time while I've been the primary caretaker of our 2 year old as well as my wife's cancer ordeal.

Heh, Alamo Drafthouse says *uck You North Korea!



http://chicksontheright.com/posts/it...korean-threats


According to that sourcelink, since Sony has canceled the release of The Interview, the movie that is causing North Korea to get its panties in a twist and take down Sony in the process, the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema's Dallas/Fort Worth theater is hosting a FREE SCREENING of Team America: World Police.

There are no words to express how much I love this, so instead, I give you this:



If you've seen Team America, you'll appreciate that.

The theater is going to hand out American flags and other patriotic items, because TEXAS, y'all. On the theater website, they say, "THAT is how true American heroes will be celebrating this year, but if you want to let the terrorists win...well, that's your prerogative."

I freaking love Texas.

The risk is zero. Not literally, but it is so infinitesimal that it may as well be zero. There is no reason, whatsoever, to believe that these threats have any validity at all.

Given that, the decision by the theater chains is both gutless and reeruned.

I'm just going to pop in to say that the Alamo Drafthouse is indeed amazing. I saw Sweeney Todd there, for which they were serving meat pies. The experience was far greater than the movie.
