Arbitration needs some serious re-working in the legislative area.
Their Uber Driver Crashed. A Pizza Order Unraveled Their Injury Lawsuit.
A New Jersey couple sued Uber after a crash left them severely injured. An appeals court ruled that they had agreed to settle disputes out of court when they used the Uber Eats app.
I don't understand why DM would buy more stages. Between Golden Era and the TV station, the Clampire has enough staging to put on many simultaneous productions of Battlefield Earth. Not that Kermit would be in that stinker.
More power to Gawain and Laura Baxter and Valeska Paris for not giving up. That takes a lot of courage. And who will be the lucky Scientologists who get to participate in the arbitration?
Regarding the Muppets Studio(The old A&M recording complex) there is no earthly reason Miscavige needs it.
Good luck to the plaintiffs and to their legal teams. The way that US legal systems caters to the needs of the criminal organisation known as the "church" of $cientology, they're going to need it. And what the FBI is doing instead, we can only wonder about.
Miscavige does have a sort of obsession with Charlie Chaplin. Maybe he thinks of himself as the Great Dictator of Chaplin's 30s film satire.
In the elevator lobby of the HGB there is a mural painting on the wall of early silent days filming, including Charlie Chaplin and others. It got a crack through it during the Northridge earthquake. Don't know if that was ever repaired. We were told that the building had some connection to Charlie Chaplin in the 30s.
Hubbard used a filming technique that was pioneered by Chaplin, taking a shot through a lens that split the light from the main camera onto a secondary camera. Then you get exactly the same shot on two film strips, one of which could rapidly be developed right there on the set. You could see if the shot was good without having to wait for the dailies next day.
That is sort of what Dave was supposed to do in the early days at Rifle, take a video shot that could be played back immediately. Later they actually modified the camera to make it truly record video and film at the same time. That is the stilted asinine way they shot at Gold in the 80s, take a bunch of shots on video and minutely critique each one. Then, when all the spontaneity and creativity is thoroughly crushed out of the crew and actors, they shoot a "perfect" shot on film. Then when Dave sees it the next day in the Rushes theatre it is found to be trash, and it has to be reshot again. At least that is how it was before Mitch Brisker took over. We were taking years to not shoot a movie before he showed up.
Don't be fooled if you see an old Chaplin movie and it looks manic and rushed. In the old days the film speed was set by the hand cranking of the cameraman, and it usually came out to about 18 frames per second. If you play an old film at the modern rate of 24 frames per second, it is much faster. Kind of funny when you see the Keystone Cops but not flattering to love scenes and so on.
Chaplin was a kind of early film genius. I doubt that Dave ever saw the Muppets. Don't be astonished if Dave reverts the place to its Charlie Chaplin roots. Or maybe he is just laundering his cash in the Real Estate market again.
Tell me again why we can't nail him on RICO and labor trafficking? Oh yeah, to get the media interested it also has to have sex and violence attached to it, like NXIVM. The DOJ only gets excited about what the media want to trumpet. No guts no glory.
Miscavige won’t be sitting it out. The poor beleaguered man will be forced to oversee every second of the kangaroo court that the other participants are doing. He will be the one writing all the questions ensuring the plaintiffs are properly abused in the fake arbitration whether or not he is participating.

Thank you, Tony, Laura Baxter, and Valeska Paris.
