Four Color Process Part Deux

I'm a huge 4CP fan. This recent image, "Red Ruined City", made me think of Japan.

"Okay, so we want this to be really insipid. Like, complete pandering. So I'd like all of you to have really stupid expressions on your faces, like borederline retarded. Harrison, that's perfect! You nailed it. You're a pro! And you, Toots, kick up your leg like you're in a movie from 1960."

$30.00 Movies on Demand? Yeah, That'll Work.

Because everybody wants to pay MORE money to see crappy Hollywood movies, remakes, and sequels.

"Warner Bros., Sony, Universal and 20th Century Fox have all agreed to be involved with 'Home Premiere', the industry's official premium VOD service which is set to launch late next month reports Variety.

Movies will be offered up to rent for $30 for a 2-3 day viewing period. Titles will show up two months after their theatrical releases, depending on the distributor, and won't include films that "are still performing well at the box-office".

As far as I can tell, the ONLY factor that makes this a "Premium" service — is the ridiculous $30.00 price tag. Brilliant. So help me understand the buinsess model here, Hollywood; I can go see a movie in the theater on opening day for $10.00 — or I can see the same movie, two months later, on my TV at home, for $30.00. Awesome! Sign me up!

The Dunning-Kruger Effect

From Wikipedia.

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled people make poor decisions and reach erroneous conclusions, but their incompetence denies them the metacognitive ability to appreciate their mistakes.^[1] The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their ability as above average, much higher than it actually is, while the highly skilled underrate their own abilities, suffering from illusory inferiority. This leads to the situation in which less competent people rate their own ability higher than more competent people. It also explains why actual competence may weaken self-confidence. Competent individuals falsely assume that others have an equivalent understanding. "Thus, the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others."
