not an american but want to know how come the IRS has never gone in on hollywood accounting? wouldn't the personal tax on the earnings of individuals being stiffed be at a higher rate than the studios company tax on profits?
in terms of quality, the show suffered without darabont. tons of wasted potential.
Neogaf.gifBeyond the pilot, Darabont wasn't doing the show any favors.

This type of accounting is only used for the purposes of residuals and royalties to third parties. The studios pay themselves certain fees and overhead, which will be considered profit for tax purposes, even if not for the purposes of determining residuals and royalties. The studios are mostly publicly listed companies that are incentivized to report maximum profits for their shareholders.This example looks particularly egregious, but large corporations do this kind of crap all the time. Numbers get shuffled around to get closest to what the executives want to hear, as long as it's within the confines of the law. Hollywood has a larger profile so that's why we know about it, but really all companies do it.
A major part of an accountant's job is to know how to legally manipulate the numbers to make the people in charge happy.
As I recall, AMC pilots at the time were very well received and their existing shows like Mad Men were getting more expensive. So they ended up with more successful shows than they expected and could not afford to support them all. They had save money somewhere, and Walking Dead ended up getting the shortest straw and received a massive budget cut. Ended up with the infamous Farm season of TWD, and Darabont leaving in disgust over ACM treatment of the show.Wait whats this lawsuit?

Where AMC is at now in terms of budget for this show:
Agreed. Dropped the show like a bad habit after S1.you mean the bluprint for the entire run? c'mon now. darabont had the feel. after frank was pulled it just got boring
Has Darabont ever said how the show would have gone if he was still in involved?
What is happening here? I see a cgi deer, I see Rick falling, I don't understand how the two are related. Are they even related? What?Where AMC is at now in terms of budget for this show:

Daaaamn at the AMC president's rise in pay while they're saying the show made no profit lol.
Goddamn I hope Darabont gets paid.
You can clearly see a little hop where it hops over the debris.I haven't seen this live, but from the gif, the deer appears to walk right over debris as if, you know, it doesn't exist in the scene.

Yeah quite a bit. He was going to make a much larger and grandiose show with entire episodes devoted to side stories like the one random guy in the tank at the end of the episode 1 that would show the fall of Atlanta.
This is pretty much my experience with TWD. The pilot ep is still one of my favorite tv episodes ever.I remember watching the first episode and being blown away. And then by the end of a six episode season 1 the show had turned to shit lol.

Does Frank Darabont play Overwatch? seems like an Overwatch player.
After receiving what he felt was a woefully subpar script from a pair of writers, Darabont tells the exec, "If it were up to me, I'd have not only fired [them], I'd have hunted down and fucking killed them with a brick, then gone and burned down their homes."
