'Objects In Space'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
At this point, I kinda doubt they can be domesticated. Mike's going to have a tough time finding anyone willing to put up with them.
He should contact a rescue organization. They probably can be rehabilitated but they will need a professional to do it.
About the Inside...my housemate saw the 1st and 3rd eps and after each she shuddered and said she thought it was too creepy for her to watch. And today she's all THE INSIDE TONIGHT!! THE INSIDE!!!! WOOO!
We caption a lot of NBC shows and for each episode we have to split bill--half to NBC Universal in LA and half to NBC-NY. Same company, but for some weird bookkeeping reason, that's how they do it.

It makes it easier for management accounting, forecasting and reporting within the separate units. Not that I would know anything about that.
It's important to allocate your costs between your subsidiaries correctly so you can tell which ones are giving you a good return and which ones are costing you more than outsourcing and so forth. Shell messed that up pretty bad back when they were all vertically integrated - the refineries bought crude at a fair market price but sold it to (wholly owned subsidiary) retailers at an artificially low price. Mgmt looked at the numbers and thought that refining wasn't making anymoney, so didn't build more plants. Which is one reason gas prices are high today - regardless of the suppky of oil, the refining process is a bottleneck reducing the supply of gasoline to consumers.
I'm sure there are similar decision making processes at work in film/tv production.
And that's the most I've used my MBA in a year. Sad, really.
(Heh, an all-Tamara x-post)
Who's got financial control?
Uncle Rupe
I'm all for divisional accounting, but making your vendors split the bill seems kind of shitty. Why do you have to pick up the cost for their structure? I hope you charge them for that.
I also know that GE's weird accounting is why it took forever for NBC to merge with another entertainment company, unlike ABC/Cap Cities/Disney, etc.
bon bon, it depends on who has the power. If the customer has more power then the bill will be split up. If the supplier has more power, the bill will be split up and allocated by the customer's accounting group.
edited to be topicy.
I can't wait for Jane's ep tonight.
I can't wait for Jane's ep tonight.
I'm very excited. She's my hero.
Ooh, Jane's writing tonight? Yay!
there are certain flashback shots of her that remind me of Evan Rachel Wood.
Oooh. Yes. Want Once and Again Season Two DVDs right now, I do. Also, that movie with ERW and Ed Norton. Also, for ERW to become super-popular but not evil like so many other child actresses. Also, for her and Amber Tamblyn to do a project together. Okay, obsession over.
It's not like Tim put "Joan of Arcadia" on the marquee.
Totally should've. And I keep meaning to mention that I love your tag, and forgetting.
Also, yay Jane episode! Yay NEW episode! Yay Wednesday!
Too bad I still don't have a TV. I tried to buy one, but the one I wanted was not in stock at Circuit City. It was going to be a $600 impulse purchase too: they missed out hardcore.
