Text of the page (random words):
ou can watch the model click into place paramount would only carry domestic so fox took foreign gibson deferred his fee and icon produced they shot the battles in ireland rather than scotland because ireland had the section 35 tax relief and better because the irish state would rent out its own army reserve as extras around 1 600 men a day out at the curragh pre drilled already owning boots cheaper than stuntmen and considerably better at standing in formation the picture won five oscars in march 1996 including best picture which goes to the producers so gibson owns one of those as a producer alongside davey and alan ladd jr before anybody ever called him an auteur then comes the stretch nobody profiles and i want to sit in it for a second maverick immortal beloved anna karenina 187 fairy tale a true story payback and in 2000 what women want a seventy million dollar nancy meyers romantic comedy that grossed 374 million worldwide through the whole decade icon was a functioning mid size commercial house with an unglamorous hit rate beethoven biopics and jodie foster westerns or whatever boring the boring stretch is where the cash position came from because around 2002 gibson decides to make a film about the last twelve hours of christ s life in aramaic and reconstructed latin no stars jim caviezel was at that point the guy from frequency no english dialogue at all icon had a first look arrangement at fox and fox passed formally in writing everybody passed so he paid for it himself roughly 30 million of production money and something like 15 million more in prints and advertising his own funds run through his own company and crucially he didn t sell it to a studio when it was done either newmarket films handled the theatrical release essentially as a contractor for a fee which means no distributor took the customary cut of what happened next and what happened next was 370 million domestic 612 million worldwide off an ash wednesday release february 25 2004 83 million of that came in the first five days in lent rated r subtitled the marketing is the part people half remember and under describe gibson spent the better part of a year screening the thing for pastors touring prints through megachurches months before release distributing outreach kits and sermon guides congregations block booked entire auditoriums churches bought tickets by the thousand and handed them out on street corners as evangelism which from the exhibitor s side is indistinguishable from a sellout the film had a sales force of approximately 200 000 volunteer clergy and it paid them in salvation and here s where the conventional story goes thin because the conventional story is that gibson conjured this market out of nowhere one weird zealot s lightning strike the channel already existed it had been operating for fifty years billy graham s organization incorporated world wide pictures in 1951 and turned out features for decades screened in churches rented halls and crusade venues with counselors stationed at the exits for anyone the ending got to a thief in the night a rapture thriller shot around des moines in 1972 for something like 68 000 played church basements and youth retreats on 16mm for thirty straight years its makers claimed a cumulative audience in the hundreds of millions a number that s unverifiable precisely because the circuit had no box office reporting no variety chart no paper anybody in los angeles would recognize a full parallel exhibition system folding chairs gymnasiums free admission an altar call where the concession stand should be what the passion did was take that circuit and plug it into the multiplex even the congregation buyout has a respectable carny pedigree it s four walling the old exploitation practice where the producer rents the auditorium outright and keeps the gate the thing tom laughlin did with billy jack in the seventies the mechanics were ancient the scale was new the studios having passed on the film then did what the industry always does with a proven crop fox launched fox faith in 2006 sony stood up affirm films in 2007 lionsgate built a faith slate sherwood baptist church in albany georgia started producing its own features with volunteer crews and by 2008 their third one fireproof cost half a million dollars starred kirk cameron and grossed 33 million a decade later faith based was an industrial category with its own comps its own p a playbook its own streaming service fifty years of cultivation by the churches one harvest brought to the commercial market by a guy the market had refused to fund meanwhile the guy july 2006 the malibu dui the transcript everybody can quote 2010 the recorded phone calls wme dropped him almost immediately and ari emanuel had been publicly calling for the industry to shun him since 06 the consensus was that he was finished and as an employee he more or less was no studio casting no agency package radioactive except watch what actually happened materially in the wilderness decade apocalypto opened in december 2006 four months after the dui because the 40 million had been gibson s all along and disney s touchstone label was just collecting a fee to ship a finished negative a chase movie in yucatec maya with no recognizable cast did 120 million worldwide while its director was the most hated man in hollywood get the gringo skipped theaters in 2012 for a directv experiment an owner testing a channel because he could and every spring the passion money came in regardless easter week tv licensing the dvds walmart had moved in pallet quantities the annuity a library throws off whether or not anyone will eat lunch with you then the 2016 comeback hacksaw ridge and notice the cap table equity from cross creek foreign rights sold off by im global chinese co financing through bliss media the shoot placed in new south wales for the australian incentives us distribution rented from lionsgate s summit label six academy award nominations including best director the redemption arc pieces wrote themselves and approximately none of them mentioned that the redemption was a foreign money subsidy arbitraged independent production because the structure is boring and the slurs are not which brings us to rome the resurrection of the christ has been shooting since last august at cinecittà with location work down in matera the same cave town that played jerusalem in 2004 with lionsgate distributing and italy s cultural tax credit which runs to 40 percent of eligible spend sitting underneath the budget two parts part one opens good friday march 26 2027 part two lands on ascension day forty days later because when you own the picture you can schedule it off the church calendar and let the calendar do your marketing again caviezel is back the sequel to the most profitable independent film ever made is being assembled in a state owned studio complex mussolini opened in 1937 on subsidy and by this point in the post i d hope none of those clauses surprises you also january 2025 the incoming administration named gibson a special ambassador to hollywood alongside stallone and voight no duties no salary no office an honorary title for a relationship he has spent thirty five years arranging not to need so the destination we have run this experiment before and we even kept the lab notes in 1919 chaplin pickford fairbanks and griffith founded united artists because they had done the arithmetic on whose wages were making which other men into owners and the head of metro famously said the inmates were taking over the asylum the studio system spent the following decades especially after the paramount decrees broke its theater monopoly making very sure stars stayed wage labor in better costumes gross points vanity shingles housekeeping deals every flavor of compensation except equity in the negative and the industry s whole moral economy the bankable and the toxic the canceled and the forgiven the comeback narrative as a genre presumes the talent needs to be hired a blacklist is a labor market instrument it disciplines employees and gibson stopped being one in 1989 for the dumbest and most sympathetic reason on file he wanted to play hamlet everything after follows from the conversion not the man the windfall the survival of 2006 and 2010 the italian sequel on the church calendar chaplin for what it s worth also got run out of the country on a morals and politics rap and also couldn t be fired because he also kept his negatives and he died rich in switzerland with the library still paying out same as it ever was isaacsapphire it drove me insane when literally the exact same people who told me that it was immoral to watch a pg movie were spending other people s tithes to buy tickets to an r rated movie that if you remove the religious wash should never have gotten so low a rating as r because it s a gory reenactment of an execution fireproof and facing the giants were so bad btw i literally walked in on a scene of facing the giants once and thought it was the opening of a porno because the acting was that bad meanwhile the similar story was happening in the christian publishing bookstore industry with eg tlb and left behind and then ccm and the radio industry misomythus i admire the passion of the christ as an artistic achievement but the sub industry it spawned didn t produce much of value not the only movie you could say that about of course i think the dark knight is another example movies 13 notes jun 25th 2026 open in app facebook tweet reddit

in a class i taught at berkeley i did an experiment where i wrote a simple little program that would let people type either f or d and would predict which key they were going to push next it s actually very easy to write a program that will make the right prediction about 70 of the time most people don t really know how to type randomly they ll have too many alternations and so on there will be all sorts of patterns so you just have to build some sort of probabilistic model even a very crude one will do well i couldn t even beat my own program knowing exactly how it worked i challenged people to try this and the program was getting between 70 and 80 prediction rates then we found one student that the program predicted exactly 50 of the time we asked him what his secret
