I worked for BBC News for over twenty years. There are some great stories around royal death rehearsals!
The speed that films moves from cinemas to streaming is killing cinemas.
Streaming services sucked all the artist money out of music. So artists started to make money by live events. So digital touts sucked all the money out of live events, while allowing scalpers to run rampant. Technology making things "easier for the consumer"........
Vis-a-vis '3 Body Problem', is the continuation of its telling anything to do with retaining the audience satisfaction of the relatively large group of Netflix patrons that did watch it and want to see how it ends?
I'm thoroughly inspired by this video! Subscribed for more inspiration! - "Embrace your dreams with unwavering determination and boundless resolve."
why do the audio versions of this get released before the video versions? I much prefer to watch the videos but usually I am too keen to know what is said
Whenever i bought a ticket, it said "not for resale" on the back. It's a condition of purchase and has almost never been enforced. The solution is not hard. In 2003/4/5ish Glastonbury sold out in about five seconds and loads of tickets immediately appeared on eBay. Glastonbury cancelled them, refunded the money and resold them. The next year you had to register to be able to buy a ticket. Id and a maximum of 2 tickets per purchase. It was a pain, but it worked. The main problem was groups of 4 or 6 trying to get tickets and only getting 2 or 4 before they sold out
I kever liked touts.... but at least they were getting wet if it was raining and lost money if the show didn't sell out...ebay started fucking everything up and it's gone downhill since then
I consider the football in 'The Damned United' to be good enough not to stick out as bad. Michael Sheen was offered a schoolboy contract at Arsenal (or something like that) so the bits where he, as Clough, had to kick the ball was very convincing.
Music critics will always pander for praise from their audience. EG The review of a song in Smash Hits will differ from a review in Melody Maker.
Two shows a week is not enough
Christmas movies start on cable in August.
Be interested to know how Louis CK is going with his ticketing. As I understand it, he sells most of his concert tickets, as well as access to merch and streaming content, through his emailing list
If there happens to be a problem with the fence? How do you work out who is responsible?
Point of order. Gary Oldman was the original cover girl of loaded.
Good old fashioned ticket touts used to gough the seller before the buyer The only time I saw England play was a friendly against Brazil. I paid a tout face value and sat behind a good old fashioned wembley pillar so I saw next to nothing. Next time was a new order gig, again face value, without the booking fee, queuing insurance... I'm starting to see a way around this. I'm going to buy a raincoat and walk up and down queues saying "any tick-etza, any tick-etza"
Perhaps I'm too impatient and you will mention it but Pearl Jam tried to go against Ticketmaster in the 90s but clearly didn't work out. Edit: yep too impatient
Ticket master are genuises. In the same way my bank used to be able to charge me for taking my money out of my account. In the olden days a band announced a tour, you went to the booking office of your local town hall, theatre , club you paid for a physical ticket. They put it in your hand . Job done. Then you had to book the ticket online. You were made to time out repeatedly, so, when you got to " accept the charge" you paid it. You went to the venue, stood in a q, were charged again, for picking up your tickets, didn't want to make a fuss, so you paid, again. Now. You log onto your account.its forgot your password.so you've missed the tickets already... So, next time your account is up to date, but, it times you out anyway, at least 3 times, then you have your tickets on their account, and they tell you, that you might want to insure those tickets, because if you get locked out of your account, you will not be allowed in - This is so funny, I'm feeling anxious, that I'm being timed out of my ticket master account, now, for taking so long to describe using a ticket master account- Then as you have bought the tickets so far in advance, you then try to find them on your phone. And they aren't there. You remember you were spsd to insure them , panic, search your emails, find your Ticketmaster account, brick yourself , in case you are locked out , find that you aren't and then don't go, because you can't get a baby sitter, it coincided with an all sayer and you had to go for a lie down, instead or at an outside event, it persitented it down. Or is that just me?
Are you ever going to do a crossover episode with the rest is politics?
So, the relaunch of loaded has pushed the eBay price of my original first edition up to somewhere between £18.50 and £29.99. I presume that's the same as the cover price of the relaunched version?
Constructive feedback. Less coffee beforehand perhaps
Perfect, just perfect, example of two midwits swimming in Clown World without realising it.
absolutely love Mariana’s take on all things wether it be entertainment or politics… But for FS give the bashing of The Fall Guy a rest for a week or two! Puleeeeze
welcome to another edition of The Rest Is Capitalism
the only thing that matters in the Ticketmaster thing is that Ticketmaster is owned by liberty, liberty owns F1and f1 has illegally denied Andretti entry. if Ticketmaster loses, liberty is in trouble with f1
Marina - stop interrupting!
The speed at which Marina speaks turned me off this episode - like listening to a verbal machine gun; bordering on painful. Richard even seemed to speed up his speech at times, maybe trying to get a word in or maybe to try to prevent Marina from constantly interrupting. Sadly, I lost interest and tolerance with this podcast (that I really loved previously).
Sadly, this is the second consecutive episode that I’ve found boring. The Ticketmaster topic didn’t interest me and I’m not really interested in listening to Marina go on and on.
If Furiosa is so good....what has Mad Max got to do with it?
How can you be 'here for' a son taking sexy pics of his mum. Is entertainment all that matters + morals be dammed.
45:07 .... Richard pretends he's not a millionaire.
Robbie Williams and Metallica have been complicit in inflated resale.
It's live nation who introduced inflated prices for golden circles, this used to be an award for getting to a venue early. I was at RHCP gig in Manchester in 2022, first time not in golden circle (though was at the barrier for the general access area), as won't pay inflated prices for the privilege and saw people in the golden circle who clearly for the prestige of being in that area and were more interested in their food and drink rather than the band. It needs to return to golden circles being for those passionate enough to get there early, as this shows and affects the interaction with the crowd for the better.
I disagree about the bloodline theory, narrative is wrong and especially when it is so couched, may as well support trump if that is all you have to offer
Bieber was caught scalping his own tickets a while back. Turned out after all the accounting for all the tickets reserved for clubs, VIP presale, etc, virtually none of his tickets were actually available to the general public.
Since "Country house" was mentioned, wanted to ask what Richard and Marina think of Damien Hirst? That a douchey bloke like him is so widely celebrated seems to be just another example of the many injustices in the world.
Hi Marina, professional animator and I wanted to mention something. As it stands and even with improvements and developments in the next five years, there is no way an entire feature length animated film realistically could be made by AI. Used to further help production? Absolutely But replacing an work force? Impossible. I think it shows people do not know what people who work on an animated film do because to be fair it's a totally insulated industry. We don't just design the characters and type it all into a computer and the computer 'makes it all happen'. People logically know that but don't know where the line ends with 'computer does the rest'. Safe to say, the computer is like Microsoft word, it doesn't type out the novel for you. You have to manually do it all yourself. (Sometimes you have to make an entire alphabet from scratch.) To compare it to a film set, AI could do lots of things but it currently does not have the ability to do it 'correctly'. It can describe how it wants a costume to look but it can't sew it can it? No, but if it could, the actual costume itself might be mixing several wrong periods of dress together. or the sleeves might be the wrong size causing the actor to not be able to raise their arms. This is what using AI in animation is like. It would take more work to fix its mess. Naive executives often think this and if AI is used yeah that's a bad thing for everyone, the audience, animators, and eventually the executives who'll have to scramble to get everyone back. It's not like they're short on people there's a lot of unemployment in the industry right now. Pixar the other week have fired employees who have been there for 15 years, companies are becoming more and more souless.
Try making a really good Christmas movie and see what happens. People watch what they can get.
Ya'll keep giving away these million-dollar ideas. First "Close Work" and now "Eggnog."
"Trump supporters" bloodline is from/though people who mistreated women? You have no idea what you are talking about, and that was not only wrong but mean, presumptuous, and elitist. I do not wear a mega hat but I know people who do, and they are the salt of the earth. Or have I misunderstood?
3 Body Problem was one of Netflix's biggest shows of the year so far.
Poor 'Fred Olsen' not hurting anyone, selling tickets for his cruise ships, must be gutted to now be confused with 'Fred Ronsen' the evil CEO behind Ticketmaster😮
the literal song selection on HUTH has been one of my favourite things for years.
I was lucky to acdc tickets at release for £145. The next day my mate went to get some they were £399 which is just obscene markup
I loved 3 body problem!
Sorry did Marina have too much caffeine before this podcast? I'm having a hard time following any of her lines of thought. 😅 But then I am American and haven't had enough caffeine yet 😂
Go watch Trump mate. Better suited. Speaks slower. Few words. Can't miss anything he says. Very American. Gotta be proud.
I wondered if she was on something!
@@bm8641 I'm not that kind of American
This episode was worse than usual I agree. Almost impossible to watch due to this I found.
@@bm8641proud of being a Nazi?
Loaded magazine was ace, for a couple of years anyway. eg. Crisp World Cup. Once the tits overwhelmed the humour it lost its way.
I think it started to decline when the writers became the story. Overly long features on a wacky trip taken by writers I could not give 2 sh!ts about was the turn off for me.
They can cap ticket profits at 10%, but doing it with homes would probably have more of an impact. I miss paying £3 at the venue to get in
Ticketmaster in and of itself isn't the problem the problem was the merger between Ticketmaster and Live Nation. This should never have been allowed to happen and it is anti-consumer, because it it doesn't just control a portion of one sector of the market, it controls a large share of the vertical market Where the emerged company is adding cost at multiple levels which shows in the final ticket price
The last tickets I got via Ticketmaster had fees of an additional 20% of the final ticket price. They are screwing over fans left, right, and centre. I'm glad Labour has the policy, which some of us have been lobbying for for well over 10 years now.
