It's not going to be released at all, not on streaming, not on Bluray, that's the point of a write-off.

Exactly. To do so would be the very definition of tax fraud.

Large corps never do tax fraud.

I have a hard time believing that these directors who did such a great job recently, handling a young female superhero in Ms. Marvel, somehow made an unacceptably awful Batgirl film, with Michael Keaton in the cast no less. I very much doubt it's as bad as the "rumors" (no doubt put out by the studio) indicate. In fact given the talent, it's likely better than a lot of crap that gets released.

And if they do, they sure do it secretly and not advertise it as the latest DC comic book film for literally everyone (and the IRS) to see. :-)

Late to the "Chad" discussion, but I was greatly disappointed in Season Two's abrupt cancellation.

Chad is a about a young teenage Persian boy desperately wanting to fit in with American culture and eschews his heritage but ends up creating his own problems by trying too hard; comedy ensues.

The best thing about the show was there were NO bullies or enemies conspiring against him (well, maybe except for his fellow misfit friend, Denise). If everyone was mean to Chad, it would have undone the premise of the show and turned him into a sympathetic character – the tired old trope of "bullies versus nerds"; instead, the cool kids are nice to Chad and tolerate his antics, but Chad is his own worst enemy by always taking things too far.

Love Nasim in just about everything she's in, and she really nails the angst of those who don't fit in. Easily a 10/10 for me, and the funniest thing on TV in quite some time.

That being said, it does rely heavily on "cringe/awkward/uncomfortable situation" comedy, it's not everyone's cup of tea because that style can be so polarizing and subversive.

The second season was to have Chad get a girlfriend who was his opposite: a cool new student who embraces her Persian heritage, while he continues to run from it.

True. The only difference is corporations and politicians can be openly corrupt nowadays, since they are almost never investigated.

So sorry to hear of the passing of keyboard great Mike Lang, who was also such a sweet, dear man and world-class musician. I really can’t do justice to his legacy.

There's three epic fantasy TV series, I suppose as a result of the success of GoT: The Wheel Of Time, GoT: House Of The Dragon & The Ring Of Power, & it doesn't look like they've skimped on the budget, hundreds of millions spent. The thing is, to see them all you have to be subscribed to so many streaming services, & I won't get any of them. I'm hoping that House Of The Dragon gets a Blu-ray release (I'm not that hopeful on the other two shows). Of course it's going to be very GoT, how could it not. I haven't seen the last season of GoT yet, I want to look at the whole thing again first (I have the 4K set). I hope Dragon doesn't skimp on the violence & shagging.

Watching the Disney doc Light and Magic reminded me of my favorite book as a kid, the Ralph McQuarrie Illustrated Edition of The Empire Strikes Back novelization:

Great piece of writing of yours Lukas, as usual, with all the expected nuances of maturity. Very interesting thaughts.

Final statement I totally second: "And yeah, the accessibility of the technology means there are more unqualified people using it. This is a huge problem with movie music today. Well, c’est la vie."
