In 2013, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas predicted the film industry as we know it would āimplodeā if/when, in the near future, too many wildly expensive blockbuster movies flopped. And if ever there were a year for an implosion on that scale to occur it would be 2018, the year when there are nearly as many major studio tentpole releases as there are weeks in the year. Well, hereās the thing ā¦
2018 will see the release over 40 massive, tentpole movies. There are nearly 20 releases that happen exactly a week apart. This means that Marvelās Black Panther will have only a week to make most of its money before Pacific Rim 2 steals its audience, which will give the unnamed Marvel/Fox movie a week to make its money before Wreck-It Ralph 2 comes out, which will only have a week before The Flash and/or Tomb Raider comes out, because Warner Bros. is dumb and scheduled two of their own tentpole movies for the same day. And all of those movies will be released in February and March, the two months studios usually use as a landfill to dump the movies they think suck. The year isnāt just crowded; itās a clusterfuck, and there are going to be big casualties. There are too many massive movies and not enough people to watch them.
Why The Blockbuster Movie Bubble Will Burst In 2018
fucking good riddance
just a snapshot of some of the blockbusters being released in 2018 so u can actually see how fucking insane this industry has gotten:Ā
Avengers: Infinity War, Ready Player One, Pacific Rim 2, Aquaman, Toy Story 4, Deadpool 2, Black Panther, The Flash, How To Train Your Dragon 3, Ant-Man And The Wasp, Jurassic World 2, The Predator, Fifty Shades Freed, Jungle Book: Origins, Marry Poppins Returns, Tomb Raider, Alita: Battle Angel, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them 2, The Secret Life Of Pets 2, an animated Spider-Man movie, Hotel Transylvania 3, The Wolf Man, Wreck-It Ralph 2, the Star Wars Han Solo spinoff, theĀ Transformers Bumblebee spinoff, Maze Runner: The Death Cure, How The Grinch Stole Christmas,Ā Gigantic (Disneyās next hand-drawn animated musical).Ā Madagascar 4, Independence Day 3, Gambit (an X-Men spinoff), The Invisible Man, Venom (a Spider-Man spinoff), Uprising (Bryan Singerās big-budget movie about a war on the goddamn moon),Mission: Impossible 6.
To get the full picture, though, read the Ivey Business Review blog analysis linked toward the end of the Cracked article.
TL;DR version: blockbusters actually havenāt made money for the studios for the past 10-12 years ā at all, on average, even for the Disney/Marvel machine ā because the market canāt support more than 5-6 successful summer blockbusters per year. 5-6 is the number of movies your average interested person can make time to see, so to a degree, it doesnāt matter if there are 12 or 18 or 30 releases beyond that. Theyāre all massive loss leaders designed to enable partner sales of ancillary goods/services.Ā
In other words, the purpose of the movie is to get the largest number of people hooked on a fandom. Then ABC or Netflix can make money off spinoff TV series, Lego or Hasbro can make money off toys, and so on. Disney or Fox make money off the deals they have with ABC/Netflix/Lego/Hasbro ā not from the box office.
So the crash isnāt going to be because there are too many movies: youāre already seeing some of the adjustments predicted by the blog author (Matthew Ball), like variable pricing in the form of season or premium passes with tie-ins. The crash is going to be because thereās an upper bound to the number of active fandoms an average fan can participate in at once. And I actually suspect that number is higher than 5-6 per year, because youāve filtered out the punters who would tag along to see the Avengers but canāt be arsed to buy a Iron Man mug or watch Jessica Jones on Netflix ā in the new model, a punter is useful for reducing the initial loss but uninteresting beyond that. What youāre trying to do is turn a punter into a fan.
(Matthew Ball had an interesting ancillary point about how the original business-to-consumer model of the movie industry is crappy because it behaves like a commodities market: past return is not a predictor of future success, long lag time in scaling production up/down to meet demand, pricing is the same across the board regardless of the quality of the individual product shipment, etc. In other words, Hollywood tried to sell art and found that art behaves like corn, so now theyāre trying to sell something else.)
I literally only have one rule in my writing and it is this:
No matter what I put my characters through, they make it. They get to make it to the end of the story and have everything work out and be ok.
Because thatās the story I need. So itās the kind I write.
If you want a piece of writing advice: write a story that is what you needed to hear at whatever age your target demographic is. I can guarantee you thereāll be someone out there who needs to hear it as much as you did. And maybe youāll help them the same way someone elseās story did for you.
For some reason, this hit home and I never realized it that I did this for my stories too

tips for walking in an abandoned graveyard
if itās dark, donāt shine your flashlight into the trees.
if a child approaches and asks you a question, donāt tell the truth.
you may find some harrowing artifacts (i found a ribbon on a tree and some bible pages) pick these up and keep them. they belong to you.
if you walk down a long, straight pathway, you will feel someone behind you. donāt look
you may see people in your peripheral vision; these are the spirits. they wonāt hurt you.
if you wish to communicate with the spirits, do not do it alone. cast a protection circle. only ask polite questions.
you will feel bursts of dread and terror. ignore them.
donāt read too much into what the graves say. some things are best left unsolved.
research the history of the graveyard beforehand. you need to know what you might encounter.
some beings may not want you to leave. should you come into contact with one of these beings, leave immediately.
donāt read the hidden graves.
if you find a headless angel statue, donāt look for her head.
if you find a tipped over angel statue, leave her be. sheās only resting.
donāt listen to music. this will distract you from them.
donāt look in the bushes. you will find something that you werenāt supposed to.
all pedophiles should die and theres literally no downside to them all dropping dead
Well, here is one downside.
Somebody would get stuck with the job of moving so many corpses out of parliament before they began to rot.
Time Lapse of the Land Taken From Native Americans
via reddit
I will reblog this EVERY GODDAMN TIME so people can understand how the US government taking more and more land from Natives is nothing new (even the land originally promised after being kicked off their original, sacred lands) and they NEED to be fucking stopped. They need to be held accountable for the destruction of our people not just then but also now.
domestication syndrome is one of the coolest findings from recent genetics
Yes!
Basically scientists have found that if you start selecting for people-friendly animals, you see a bunch of hypothetically unrelated traits start showing up in all sorts of mammal species: floppy ears, piebald/patterned coats, etc.
This is true for everything from cows to dogs to rats! One of the coolest long term studies on this has been the Russian fox experiments.
So essentially the science goes like this:
You have two copies of every genes, one from each parent.
We tend to simplify genetics, and say that for every single gene you have it is random,l coin flip which copy you pass on to you offspring. We also tend think of genes as a 1:1 ratio of genesā>traits.
But! This is not quite the case.
Genes have a specific physical location and order relative to each other on your chromosomes, and the chance of genes being inherited together goes up the closer together they are located. This means random, unrelated traits can wind up being more commonly inherited together in specific patterns just because those genes are located close together, and you donāt get that completely random reshuffling of two parentās traits. Some of them tend to stay āstuckā together.
This is called linkage, and itās why you often see red hair, pale skin, and freckles together, for example.
The second factor that plays into this is that a lot of times 1 gene affects several different traits (or several different genes affect 1 trait). This means that sometimes you really *canāt* untangle two traits because they have a similar cause. For example, say genes for increased aggression are responsible both for making a spider a better hunter (pro) and making a spider more likely to eat its offspring (con). Because the same gene is the cause of both things, natural selection canāt really untangle them.
Circling back to the redhead/freckles/pale skin example, these traits are affected by a number of different genes, but also one gene in particular: MCR1, a gene that changes how your body responds to hormones promoting melanin production. Again, one gene related to pigment production can affect a BUNCH of different traits. (And also skin cancer risk. Fun!)
Domestication Syndrome in mammals turns out to be due to both linkage and genes affect by multiple traits!
See, when we domestic animals we want them to be friendlier/less aggressive, which normally translates to less FEARFUL.
And it turns out that the same genes involved in adrenal responses and other stress reactions are also involved in melanin, cartilage, and bone production. So when we domesticate animals we get these recurring changes in pigmentation (white patches, piebald costs), floppy ears (cartilage), shorter muzzles and other changes in physical stature (bone growth), etc.
We also wind up selecting for a lot of neotenic genes in generalā that is, retention of childhood traits into adulthood. Thatās because baby animals tend to have lots of friendly/trusting/biddable/curious traits we are looking for.
And honestly, who can say no to a face like this?
ps, since it was mentioned:
the same genes involved in domestication probably help animals form social groups in general. if you need to get along with and trust strangers you need a decrease in the panic/aggression genes.
cats, for example, probably domesticated themselves when they started living close to each other and to humans to feed off of pests in grain silos.
and yeah, some some recent theories suggest humans may have ādomesticatedā themselves:
so basically youāre saying that when we breed animals to be friends, they become friend-shaped.
