Kinda looks like a REPEAT performance.... Doesn't it?



Here's someone who's seen this MOVIE before:
imiloa wrote:

snake, have you been following MIKP, itself?
do you know why it was suspended?

re: "want to punish mark for life."

trust that you and i are on the same side of the reinstatement debate.
as posted, i have 50 million reasons gathering dust on a shelf.

that said, if we want to have a rational adult discussion of the 211,
we need to look at the topic from FINRA's point of view.

FINRA doesn't have an investment in MIKP's future.
FINRA is simply tasked with evaluating Mark's biz (via form 10),
and deciding whether they feel Mark will behave more responsibly toward shareholders in the future, than he did in the first 5 years driving MIKP.

to point, the RS in his other stock, just filed this week,
despite promise to not RS that stock until revenues were established,
could be a factor in their decision.

fwiw, all of us in that stock expected an RS sometime soon.
but i'm honestly surprised Mark didn't wait on that RS until the MIKP 211 process was complete.

https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=107688830

snake, the concern is the legacy of Mark's past behavior with the stock, which led to the SEC suspension this 211 is hoping to counteract.

nutshell, FINRA needs to believe Mark has truly changed his stripes.
if they feel he is just going to dump shares into pump promos again,

unfort, the just-announced RS in Mark's other stock
(after Mark, once again, promised he would not RS until he had revenue streams)
isn't great timing for this review.

that said, i'm optimistic about the potential here, given the form 10 and audit.
i'm just trying to seed some rational patience into the discussion here
and i don't feel the paperwork gears will turn as quickly as most here hope.

& NOW TWO Industry-UNION STRIKES!!






About which, the company has said this: (in their RECENT AUDITED filings)

Ella Clah is currently in development; however due to the Writers Guild of America strike which, as of the date of this document, is ongoing, we are unable to move forward in working with a WGA writer, which is the Company’s intent.




The Company has, however, secured interest from a writer to formulate a pitch for studios prior to the strike and plans to resume working with the writer once the strike comes to a resolution, or otherwise, if at all.

Industry-wide Strikes may affect the Company



On April 18, 2023, 97.85% of members of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) voted to go on strike if they failed to reach a satisfactory agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), which represents the major film and television studios in Hollywood, by May 1, 2023.


The AMPTP engaged in lengthy negotiations with the WGA on behalf of Amazon Studios (as well as MGM Holdings), Apple Studios, Lionsgate, NBCUniversal, Netflix, Paramount Global, Sony Pictures, the Walt Disney Company, and Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), but failed to reach a deal before the mandated deadline. As a result, the leadership of the Writers Guild of America, West (WGAW) and Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE) unanimously approved a strike on the eve of May 2, the first of its kind since the 2007–2008 strike fifteen years prior.


This affects our Company and its operations currently to a certain degree in that we currently have limited capacity to engage writers on projects until and unless the strike is resolved. Many films, television programs, and podcasts have been affected by the strike; some have been forced to continue production without writers, while others have been completely shut down.

The Company has exercised its rights as they pertain to its standard Force Majeure clause in each of the project agreements and has been duly noted by each authorized party accordingly.

Which sure looks like MORE DILUTION to cover expenses, bills, & shares outgoing for WHATEVER other nonsense Mark wants TO (acquire, fund, buy, merge, etc.) PUMP!!







JUST THE FACTS PLEASE!!

How The SAG-AFTRA Strike Could Upend This Year’s Movie Release Schedule & Box Office

Overview:
Hollywood in turmoil as actors and writers strike over streaming's impact on industry. Tensions rise, studios face backlash, and demands for fair share of revenue grow. The future of labor relations hangs in the balance

To get a sense of just how much animosity is flying around Hollywood these days, watch how Ron Perlman responded to a report that the studios aimed to prolong a strike long enough for writers to lose their homes.

Perlman, the hulking, gravel-voiced actor of “Hellboy,” leaned into the camera in a since-deleted Instagram live video to vent his anger. “Listen to me, mother-(expletive),” Perlman said. “There’s a lot of ways to lose your house.”

Three years after the pandemic brought Hollywood to a standstill, the film and TV industry has again ground to a halt. This time, though, the industry is engaged in a bitter battle over how streaming — after advancing rapidly during the pandemic — has upended the economics of entertainment.

Having weathered plague, Hollywood is now fully at war in its own “Apocalypse Now” double feature. When tens of thousands Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists hit the picket lines last week, joining 11,000 Writers Guild of America screenwriters who have been on strike since May, a smaller clash went nuclear just in time for the release of “Oppenheimer.” As striking actors and writers mobilized to mob studio lots and streamer headquarters, Puck’s Matthew Belloni wrote, “The town is burning to the ground.”

“You cannot change the business model as much as it has changed and not expect the contract to change, too,” said Fran Drescher, SAG-AFTRA president, in a fiery press conference announcing the strike. “We’re not going to keep doing incremental changes on a contract that no longer honors what is happening right now with this business model that was foisted upon us.

“What are we doing?” she added. “Moving around furniture on the Titanic?”

Disaster also loomed in Hollywood when COVID-19 in March 2020 shuttered movie theaters, emptied TV studios and shut down all production. The recovery is still ongoing. Over the weekend, one of the first major film productions shut down by the pandemic — “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One” — only just reached theaters. And as its big-but-not-blockbuster opening showed, some of pre-pandemic Hollywood still just hasn’t returned. Box office remains about 20-25% off the pre-pandemic pace.

“We’ve talked about disruptive forces on this business and all the challenges we’re facing, the recovery from COVID which is ongoing. It’s not completely back,” Disney CEO Bob Iger said Thursday. “This is the worst time in the world to add to that disruption.”

Though many of the demands of SAG-AFTRA and the WGA are longstanding, much of the current dispute gathered force in the helter-skelter days of the pandemic. A digital land rush to streaming ensued, as studios, in many cases, hurried to craft their Netflix competitors. Subscriber growth became the top priority.

Rahul Telang, a Carnegie Mellon University professor and co-author of the book “Streaming, Sharing, Stealing: Big Data and the Future of Entertainment,” says an entire era of change was condensed into two years.

“What is happening right now was bound to happen. With streaming, the whole business got disrupted,” says Telang. “So naturally, they’re complaining, ‘We need our fair share.’ But how do you decide what’s a fair share? There has to be a transparency about where the money is coming from and where it’s going. Until this gets resolved, this issue will keep coming up.”

The last time screen actors and writers struck simultaneously, in 1960, the guilds established royalty (later residual) payments for replays of films and TV episodes, among other landmark protections. If that strike reckoned with the dawn of television, this one does much the same for the streaming era.

But streaming, especially when companies carefully guard audience numbers, offers no easy metric like box office or TV ratings to establish residuals — long a foundational part of how writers and actors make a living. SAG-AFTRA is seeking a small percentage of subscriber revenue, with data measured by a third party, Parrot Analytics.

The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which negotiates on behalf of the studios, hasn’t agreed to that but says the studios have offered actors “historic pay and residual increases,” along with pension contributions and other protections.

Meanwhile, actors are sharing images of their paltry residual payments for streaming hits. Kimiko Glenn of Netflix’s “Orange Is the New Black” posted a clip of residual payments totaling $27.30.

“You used to be able to work on a broadcast show, one show and you’re good for the year because of the residuals,” said actor Nachayka Vanterpool on the picket lines. “And then you have streaming coming along and you got 20 cent residual checks. That impacts you.”

Increasingly, it’s looking like everyone lost in the so-called streaming wars that went into hyperdrive under COVID-19. Since Wall Street last year began souring on subscription numbers being the be-all-end-all, most media companies have suffered stock declines. Wall Street’s message turned to: Show us the profits.

At the same time, the drive to streaming has accelerated the demise of traditional television and its ad-based revenue. That’s led analysts like Michael Nathanson of MoffettNathanson to survey a fragmented entertainment business and forecast a “scary” second half of the year for media companies.

With traditional TV increasingly eroded by streaming, many studios have been cutting costs. Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery and Netflix all slashed jobs over the past year and a half. Streaming profitability has remained elusive. The Walt Disney Co. says Disney+ will get there in fall 2024. WarnerBros. Discovery, which has taken the extreme step of canning finished productions to reshape its streaming strategy, says Max will start making money this year.

Many are now girding for a prolonged stoppage that, if carried into September, would greatly impact the fall TV schedule and the film festivals (Venice, Telluride, Toronto) that launch awards season contenders. Drescher said she “couldn’t believe” how far apart her union and AMPTP are.

Ronny Regev, who penned the book “Working in Hollywood: How the Studio System Turned Creativity into Labor,” thinks this strike could play out similarly to the 1960 stoppage, when actors struck for about a month but the writers’ strike dragged on.

“I hate to bring up the cliche but history repeats itself,” says Regev. “Like in 1960, there’s a good chance the actors will reach a deal sooner than the writers. Now we’re dealing with very different companies. These are conglomerates that have other businesses. I’m not sure if (Amazon chairman Jeff) Bezos really cares.”

There are also differences that favor the writers. In 1960, the strike by SAG (whose president was a then-Democrat Ronald Reagan) was fiercely opposed by some other guilds, including the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), which represents below-the-line crew members. This time, the actors and writers have near-universal support throughout the guilds. IATSE, notably, is set to negotiate its own new contract next year.

“The urgency of this moment cannot be overstated. Our industry is at a crossroads, and the actions taken now will affect the future of labor relations in Hollywood and beyond,” Matthew D. Loeb, IATSE president, said in a statement. “Their fight today foreshadows our fight tomorrow.”

Cooler heads could prevail. Perlman, for his part, later apologized for getting so heated. He implored studio executives to find “a degree of humanity.”

“It can’t all be about your (expletive) Porsche and your (expletive) stock prices,” said Perlman. “There’s got to be dignity if we’re going to hold a mirror up and reflect human experiences, which is what we do as actors and writers.”
