This might be a little off topic, but if anyone has ever worked in the mainstream film production business (ie not adult content), it is one of the most bloated, cost-heavy, wasteful industries on earth.
On top of that, powerful unions control all labour, from actors to grips.
Production companies spare no expense. I've seen companies rent a $10 broom for $20 a day - for a month. Like government-level wasteful spending. Not to mention the executives who feed at the trough.
I'm not shedding a tear for MGM, they had a good run, the world of media is changing. This is not an endorsement of piracy, but the value-add in content is definitely shifting.
