The end result is "Ass" the movie

stantimmons.bsky.social•100 days ago

Who's attached to the project?

warmwestwind.bsky.social•100 days ago

they couldn't even shoot a real log fire?

2beertodd.bsky.social•101 days ago

muchechops.bsky.social•101 days ago

and they've nicked the idea from LOADS of similar that've been on YoutTube for YEARS!!! 🤦‍♂️ 11 years in & Netfux have lost the plot... 😂

And before that it was on TV. WPIX in New York was running 6 hours of this back in the 60s, and it was a huge TV hit then.

ellenmaai.bsky.social•100 days ago

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Fake log fire was a standing tradition in metro NY on Christmas Eve. WPIX Channel 11. Hours of music and the “warm glow” of a welcoming hearth.

You jest, probably, but the original series (comprising Canadian Fir, Yule Log and Birchwood) has already led to at least one spinoff (Watch the Witcher: Fireplace) and a remastered re-release (Fireplace for Your Home: 4K). And it was already a remake of the original WPIX show from the 1960s.

But what’s its motivation?

nicktheinventor.bsky.social•101 days ago

“What if it was a fire, but with millions of dollars being chucked on it? We could call it… Red One”

gilibug.bsky.social•100 days ago

I would watch this

eschneider.bsky.social•101 days ago

Fake Fire II: Burning Coal.

abqgnu.bsky.social•100 days ago

I watch the fake log fire multiple times throughout the winter!

I guarantee you that I was a full 30% of the fire log viewership numbers.

This is a thing in Scandinavia, we have stuff like 'A hidden camera from where you can see moose cross over' and 'A camera that takes you on a trip around Norway by train' etc

Netflix wins for making the most 'slow' one tho, at least from description.

titaniumartnerd.bsky.social•100 days ago

I would love to view the one where you can see Norway by train. That sounds amazing.

titaniumartnerd.bsky.social•100 days ago

I found it on YouTube!

sailorfutaba.bsky.social•100 days ago

Aww! Enjoy the glacier :D

titaniumartnerd.bsky.social•100 days ago

🙌🙌🙌
I will, I’m excited. 😂

eddierobson.bsky.social•101 days ago

And then when you pitch them Snow Falling Past Window they say "sorry we've already got something similar in development"

trefeca.bsky.social•101 days ago

Fake flushing toilet — one of those where the cistern just keeps running, very relaxing (or, depending on your temperament, worrying/irritating).

equaloppdork.bsky.social•101 days ago

the fact that this article exists is maddening.

I get this bit, but if your read Harper's story on Spotify and AI, they are basically doing this because they claim people don't want music, but background noise. I can see streaming just doing same too lol

johnlees.bsky.social•100 days ago

I just went through this 5-minute cycle of elation to despair in getting a great idea for a horror film that takes place almost entirely off-screen during a Yule log video, only to discover that Adult Swim beat me to it in 2022.

robwilliams71.bsky.social•100 days ago

Bastards!

agadfly.bsky.social•100 days ago

Tropical Beach Bonfire.

stbill.bsky.social•100 days ago

I would love a five hour directors cut👌🏼

patmorr.bsky.social•100 days ago

When is season 2 of "Paint Drying" come out?

fasterthanshaun.bsky.social•100 days ago

Real opportunity if you find the right lead, though. We’ve watched the series of Lil Bub in front of a fire for years, there’s one where for some reason she randomly disappears in a puff of smoke then reappears a few seconds later. Mesmerizing. RIP Lil Bub.

pjneal.bsky.social•100 days ago

"Do you hear the popping? That's the fire saying what it's doing. It's important for anyone who has the show on in the background while doing other things."

lilliany.bsky.social•101 days ago

Probably because Squid Game may give MAGA ideas as did the Handmaid’s Tale.

dralasite.bsky.social•100 days ago

They will get plenty of ideas from watching a bonfire as well.
