Yesterday 7 of the 30+ employees were laid off at the Academy Film Archive without notice. This included the Director & Head of Preservation who was one of the best managers I ever had. This feels like a death knell for the 3rd largest film archive in North America. (1/3)

Oh, that not good.
This is a great way to ensure the next generation of producers and executives never gets to exist. This is the work of entry level jobs. Interns, assistants, lower level execs. This is how you learn, how you develop taste. This is Hollywood sawing at its own neck to save a buck. https://t.co/XOLO6kR9dc

Other than the break down of the entertainment industry; Variety has me laughing at full articles about one person's opinion on another's movie because they're celebrities.

it's beyond schoolyard gossip, why are their full articles on it?
