HD DVD had Batman Begins as an exclusive. I sure hope people broke out the chains and bats.

I gotta move crosstown in a couple months (for the third time in about 15 years) and I'm not at ALL looking forward to it.
It's not even the actual moving part that sucks. It's the upheaval on either side that makes everything feel extra stressful and displaced and out-of-sorts in ways you can't really fix until like, a month after you're in the new spot.
Ugh.

Wow.
Also, repost because it was at the bottom of last page:
Reeves was interviewed and talked about the future of the Ceasar Cycle and at the end a bit about The Batman.

You're not helping my thought process here!
Setting up utilities is always the part that I hate.
When we moved to my current place, I had scheduled the internet hook up to happen the day after we moved in. My wife manages a research group, and was working exclusively from home, so the internet is obviously important.
However, I made the grave mistake of going through the same smaller ISP that we had when I was living near Toronto.
In Canada, Bell and Rogers have telephone and Cable monopolies over much of the country. My previous ISP resells bandwidth from the local cable provider at rates that are about $20/month lower than the monopoly, and they offered better bandwidth caps before those opened up in Canada fairly recently. In the Toronto area, they resell from Rogers Cable, and I had no issues. However, where I am currently, the local monopoly is Cogeco Cable, which I believe is only in Quebec and some random Ontario cities. Cogeco is also garbage.
Reseller ISPs still need to use monopoly ISP technicians for hook ups and maintenance, since the monopoly ISP owns the lines. Cogeco put my hookup on indefinite hold. I guess Canadian law allows them to service their own customers first, and they were just refusing to service us despite the fact that it was late September, and I made my appointment in July. After over 2 weeks of trying to survive on our mobile data plans post-move, I was forced to sign up with Cogeco and pay more for less.
Internet is the most important part when moving.
I once looked at a nice apartment but noped outta there when I asked about the available providers and speeds.
Like give me the choice between a beautiful house on Malibu beach with shit speeds and a shit hole apartment in Detroit with 1gbit internet and I know what I will take.

Ugh, yeah, that ordeal you just posted is the shit I fuckin hate.
It's a little extra stressful this time out because I have to produce 80s All Over and trying to figure out WHICH HOUSE is going to have the internet on at WHICH TIME so that their schedule doesn't get interrupted (plus managing to carve out the edit/post-production time I need to do the show amid all the chaos - which is going to make me feel guilty as shit, honestly...)
Basically, at some point in the next couple months, I'm going to be in a trashed house while most of my furniture is in a different place, hunched over a monitor, cutting audio together while like, the act of creating a living space is happening somewhere else without me for a day. It sucks.
It sucks. Done it twice now.
I hope I don't have to move from where I am anytime soon.

So I know some agents, actors, producers, directors etc here in Sweden and apparently
Don't spread this.
Eon Productions has been asking around for some swedish actors to check if they're available for filming between October to February. One agent even got a call about one of his clients from Barbara Broccoli where she dropped a working title/codename that he can't find anything about on the web. Probably the next Bond movie?

Of all the wars on GAF, this is the one I was most involved in. I was reading the news every day on which studios were leaning in which direction.
Did we even get confirmation of Daniel Craig returning for 5th film yet?
Last I read, studios were still bidding for the distribution rights.

What's this about not spreading?
That was great fun, the almost daily threads, the heated posts, etc.
Danny Boyle for director. Cillian Murphy for new Bond.

Look, this is not even enough for a clickbait article since we know nothing aside from Eon wanting actors free for a movie in October. We don't even know if this is for something that's not Bond(but the amount of time they want to film do point to a big budget movie).
I'm guessing this means either Sony are keeping the rights or Eon has a idea for a movie they want the winner to do.

Shit, I forgot that I started the thread on it.
Bonus: ManaByte posts!
I must have missed a lot of this. I might not have been on the OT-side very much back then though. When did HD-DVD die? 2008?

Has EON ever made a non-Bond movie? I thought that's all they did.
I agree with this.
You should post this in the James Bond OT. I would love a Swedish Bond babe.
But I am secretly hoping for Pia Wurtzbach to get the role.

Going by wikipedia, not really:
Let's wait for more. Wasn't one of the final 5 before they decided who would have the role in Spectre swedish?
Whatever happened with the deal in that last sentence?
I know that Sony was trying to get The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo back off the ground. If it wasn't for EON, I would have guessed that.

Pretty much. Universal and Paramount were the last holdout, and Universal announced BluRay support in early 2008. It was already pretty dead by then, but that was when it was 100% certain. Universal was also a stakeholder in HD-DVD. If you start backing your own competition, you know it's over.

No clue. Tried searching for news articles and only the initial announcement came up.
Yes, one of the candidates for the Bond babe role for Spectre was Swedish, until they changed it last minute.
That's a huge shame.
Nah, I thought Lea Seydoux did a very good job with what she got.

Speaking of Bond, aside from London are there any other cities or countries currently offering big benefits for making movies in them?

This article was from a year ago, so it's possible that some of the details have changed.

It covers non-US tax incentives.
I say go back to World War 2 to the origins of the 00s
Xbox's release of the HD-dvd addon was interesting around these parts

God, imagine a movie set in like the 70-80's with flashbacks to WW2.

Just scanning that thread, it's amazing people were just saying "I like Nintendo and hate Sony, therefore HD-DVD."
I was pretty much on a gaming decline by then and had a lot less investment in console wars.

That seems low. Good low, nice to see a blockbuster with a reigned in budget and helps prevent it from being the Summer's biggest bomb assuming it's bad (hopefully not).
How's the budget compared to The Emoji Movie?

That's much lower than I thought for Dark Tower. This thing might actually make money. What's the tracking for Baby Driver looking like?
Same article says 25 million over 5 days.
Holy cow, you're not kidding. It did less than XXX did in the States.
