☆ Netflix is pulling back on movies, adding to Hollywood's woes as a grim box office year looms
  + stars: | 2024-01-13 | by ( Lucia Moses | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +8 min
The downsizing of Netflix's film ambitions is on pace with a broader contraction at the streamer, which announced 88 fewer original films last year than in 2022. But for some on Wall Street, the right number of Netflix original films just might be zero. Netflix's rise has been a mixed bag for filmWhen Netflix film head Scott Stuber joined the company in 2017, the mandate was quantity. Netflix announced a whopping 232 original films in 2021, according to Ampere Analysis. Netflix's original films started declining in 2022 from the 2021 peak of 232.

☆ For These TV Procedurals, the Formula Still Works
  + stars: | 2023-11-30 | by ( Calum Marsh | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
Waves slap gently against the shore along the southeast coast of Australia, the morning sun glittering on the horizon. This is the opening scene of a recent episode of “NCIS: Sydney,” the fifth series in the long-running crime procedural franchise, which premiered on CBS earlier this month. “There’s definitely a template that I’ve managed to extract from watching hundreds of hours of the show, a kind of typical ‘NCIS’ structure,” Morgan O’Neill, the creator and showrunner of “NCIS: Sydney,” said in a video interview. “That’s the overall architecture of the show, and it’s always going to be that.”“It still works,” O’Neill added. Through it all, one constant has been the popularity of procedural franchises like “NCIS” and “Law & Order,” which have thrived as purveyors of familiar predictability.

☆ The Critics Scoffed. Nora Roberts Just Kept Writing.
  + stars: | 2023-11-18 | by ( Lulu Garcia-Navarro | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
It’s no exaggeration to say that the writer Nora Roberts has shaped how generations of people, especially women, think about relationships and sex — not to mention, what makes a great story. Before Roberts, the romance genre was dominated by tepid and virginal women who were overpowered by brooding men. As one romance critic told me, “Nora Roberts is the sun” around which the entire genre orbits. I was a teenager when I started sneaking into my older sister’s room to steal her Nora Roberts books. Love in a Nora Roberts book wasn’t about conquest and submission, as it was in most romance novels at the time, but rather about equality and partnership.

☆ Netflix wants its own version of 'The Bear' and more 'Dahmer'-style true crime. Here's its series wish list, per Hollywood insiders and leaked agency documents.
  + stars: | 2023-10-25 | by ( Lucia Moses | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +9 min
Several producers, agents, and other dealmakers also weighed in for this story about the content market and what the streamers are looking for. In short, broadcast network-type shows that will grab broad viewership are the top priority for Netflix and all its competitors. Netflix wants another 'Squid Game' and more true crime, but 'nothing too political'"Squid Game." And for its version of Hulu's "The Bear," it wants a series set in a fast-paced world, but not a restaurant. In unscripted and non-fiction programming, per both documents and Insider's sources, true crime remains a big area of focus for series as well as films.

☆ Denise Mina: What I Learned By Stepping Into Raymond Chandler’s Shoes - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2023-08-26 | by ( Denise Mina | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
Marlowe is, of course, the most famous creation of Raymond Chandler, perhaps the most famous of American crime novelists. On the one hand, there is his glorious writing, his blue-collar heroes and the occasional profound observations about the human experience. It takes a strong stomach to read a story in which a woman needs a slap to calm her down. Crime fiction was, and is, anti-feminist. Chandler may have been a misogynist, but he definitely lived in misogynist times, and his fiction reflects that.

☆ ‘The Night of the 12th’ Review: When a Case Doesn’t Close
  + stars: | 2023-05-18 | by ( Nicolas Rapold | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
But Dominik Moll’s “The Night of the 12th” does just that, and then watches a French investigator labor away at a murder case before reluctantly abandoning it. This is a refreshingly grounded, deceptively plain picture of crime-fighting as a grind of false leads, workplace fatigue and no closure. After a few years, a judge takes interest in the cold case, funding new surveillance. But even though the inexpressive Yohan does seem like one of the good guys, he’s going in circles, and can’t even help his burned-out partner, Marceau (Bouli Lanners). Despite all the best intentions, “cracking a case” just doesn’t happen sometimes, and the movie (based on a nonfiction book by Pauline Guéna) matter-of-factly avoids the magical thinking we’ve absorbed from decades of macho crime-fighting yarns.
☆ Two Television Showrunners on ‘Creative Short Circuits’
  + stars: | 2023-05-17 | by ( Reggie Ugwu | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
I don’t think that I could have been successful in this environment. I think we all pooh-pooh broadcast these days, but I am the showrunner I am because of broadcast, without a doubt. And I think the fact that broadcast has died is really killing showrunners. To Soo’s point, you have X number of dollars and X number of days to produce these episodes and everything kind of backfills into that. So it requires a lot of delegation and trust inside of the writers’ room.
☆ "Yellowstone" prequel “1923” bring white grievances to Paramount Plus
  + stars: | 2022-12-18 | by ( Ani Bundel | Ani Bundel Is A Cultural Critic Who Has Been Writing Regularly Since Her Work Can Also Be Found At Elite Daily | Weta'S Telly Visions | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +5 min
It’s a grimmer chapter of an ongoing story, and one that is plagued by an inability to articulate why these white men murdering their way across the landscape are heroes worth rooting for. Cultural critics love prestige series. Few celebrated the end of the toxically misogynist “The Big Bang Theory,” or have seemed eager to discuss the resurgence of seemingly endless police procedurals starring white men. But the series has gained viewership year over year, with subsequent spinoffs debuting on new flagship streaming service, Paramount+. Like so many white male grievances, to question the logic is to side with the enemy.
☆ SBF won’t shut up, and it’s driving lawyers mad
  + stars: | 2022-11-29 | by ( Allison Morrow | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
SBF has repeatedly admitted that he “f—ked up.” He has apologized on Twitter and in a letter to staff. “What SBF is doing is a form of litigation suicide,” Howard Fischer, a former Securities and Exchange Commission lawyer tells me. SBF resigned as CEO when his crypto exchange, FTX, declared bankruptcy on November 11. Ray sought to make clear that SBF does not speak for FTX or its affiliates. (And no, I don’t mean extra sick days — I mean any sick days, which workers currently have to take unpaid).
☆ ‘Law & Order’ actor Diane Neal weighs in on how the show can affect perceptions of police
  + stars: | 2022-09-15 | by ( Harmeet Kaur | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
Over numerous seasons of “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” the tough and persistent assistant district attorney convicts scores of sex offenders and delivers justice to their victims. An internal NYPD investigation in 2018 criticized the department’s handling of sexual assault cases. A representative for Dick Wolf, the creator of “Law & Order,” did not respond to a request for comment. In a 2020 special celebrating the long-running “SVU,” Mariska Hargitay, who plays detective Olivia Benson, spoke of the positive impact the show had on sexual assault survivors. Others have argued that “Law & Order” and police procedurals more broadly shouldn’t be expected to reflect reality precisely because they are fictional – a point that Oliver acknowledged in his show.
