gln1955 is correct. It's primarily about cobbling together the financing. Making movies is often accurately compared to financing a skyscraper; very complex with multiple investors, presales, 'soft' monies, etc, etc.
Dept Q was great - up until the last episode. Great characters, acting, writing, etc - but the last episode was too much suspension of disbelief for me, which left a soured impression, personally. Spoilers:
1. simply walking off getting shot by a shotgun from 10 feet away - even if "just buckshot"... Of course, the shotgun's effects were entirely different when reversed.
2. Lyle being able to pass himself off convincingly to a prosecutor as a journalist doesn't fly with the rest of his backstory.

This movie is confused. Not confusing, it's confused. The dialogue is terrible. The tone is all over the place. It's okay. At least it's relatively short.
Watched that a little bit ago now, but yeah. Have you seen the original series? It's excellent.
I haven't seen the Danish movies but am curious to now. Of course, I really liked The Queen's Gambit which was much the same production team that did this one.
Zeus Network: Baddies Gone Wild. Don't judge me it's hilarious. Baddies: In The Wild s02 is legit in a backyard in TX with a tent. I so wanna see the waiver/NDA because they have to be in countries/states with mutal combat laws. It is amazing.
Solid movie. One thing leads to another without any shenanigans. Character development isn’t important to the narrative but enough of it happens through the story telling to make you care about what’s happening. It shows more exposition than it tells. Perfect length. Good movie. Very good
No Country for Old Men.
I forgot about this movie until tonight. It has been long enough that the suspense was back as I watched each scene. I like this movie.

Saturday we watched "Thunderbolts". Our son and I saw in the theater, but since it's now available on Disney+, my wife was able to see it. It was just as good as the first time. The twist was somewhat expected, but not quite what we thought. There's enough levity to keep it light, because otherwise I think this movie would have been very dark.
My son and I really enjoyed Thunderbolts, but then I'll watch almost anything Florence Pugh, or David Harbor, is in.
The Studio on Apple. I can't say I'be been much of a Seth Rogen fan, but this is some funny stuff. The cameo with Martin Scorsese was worth the admission alone.
I'm watching Elephant Graveyard vids on youtube. This is guy is ON it.
Just finished the Devo doc. Brilliant. I do wish they’d gone a little into how they learned to play their instruments and the music writing parts of their history.
I thought that was really good. A bit melancholic with how it ended but glad to have watched it. Like Elephant Graveyard though I've just listened to it podcast style, still via YouTube, rather that watched.
Alien: Earth’s latest episode is great, thoroughly enjoying this show.
