No middlemen. It’s up to the department heads and UPM to keep track of people.

While these are simply allegations, and Perlman herself was seemingly not interviewed for the book

Like I said, crefit arbitration is automatic. Gunn wouldnt have the ability to remove someone’s writjng credit.

It’s always pre-planned. The performance with the encore simply begins a few minutes earlier.

Not quite so much - credits aren’t exhausive or truly accurate, theyre “best efforts”. Employment is word-of-mouth. If you wanted the B-camera grip from a particular film, you’d know someone who’d know someone who’d know who that was, regardless of what credits might claim.

That’s a gross mischaracterisation. Credit arbitration is automatic whenever more than one writer or team are involved, or when a writer is also the director. There was no-one “suing” anyone.

He freaked out about masks because the HSE were in two minds about shutting down film production, and because of Cruise’s unique insurance setup it was effectively the only film in the world shooting at the time, everyone was waiting to see if it would be practical.

Trains have been in use since the mid-18th century, powered by gravity, men, or horses.

They were likely referring to an event in 1804 when, to satisfy a wager, Richard Trevithick’s second rail locomotive hauled ten tons of coal, 5 wagons and 70 men along the full length of the Merthyr Tramroad. It was this run which publicly resolved the question of whether enough tractive force could be generated with only the adhesion of the locomotive itself to the smooth rail.

While this was an experimental design, commercial use of steam locomotives started in 1812 on the Middleton Railway, which had been built in the 1750s and part of which operates as a museum railway today, the oldest route in continuous operation in the world.

Their 1829 date refers to the opening of the Liverpool & Manchester Railway, which was the first purpose-built inter-city main line, but was pre-dated by a lot of other railways.

As there’s a lot of variability of what constitutes a railway (plateway / edgeway? wood / granite / metal tracks? Common carrier or single-user? Passengers? Nags or Kettles Etc) dates are tough. The British rail industry has decided that “modern railways” began in 1825 with the opening of the Stockton and Darlington, and there has been a full year of celebrations for Rail 200. This is a somewhat arbitrary figure and reflects more the desire to rebrand the “newly” re-nationalised rail operators, because the public apparently didn’t sufficiently notice when they were actually nationalised in 2020 as part of the covid emergency. Like I said, dates are tough.

In Britain, two works have perpetual copyright:

The King James Bible, copyright held by the Crown.

Peter Pan, copyright bequeathed to Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital (royalties only - GOSH have no right to refuse use).

Prices have risen due to losses incurred by screwworm so no.

It is a flat fee. Either a publisher or a private commission. The fee will range from 6 figures for the top writers to low 5 figures.

How very dare people a century ago not appreciate modern needs!

That building is irrelevant as that part of the street is on a completely different alignment. And also doesn’t accommodate the cenotaph.

The war memorial is in the centre of the road. The photo only shows the bit of road between the memorial and the junction. There is only room for one car in each direction. It is not one-way. The narrow section of pavement runs only for the length of the pub, which is not set back from the street as far as the rest of its row. This photo shows the entirety of the narrow section of pavement.

It’s a warning how misleading internet posts can be without context.

City?? Clearly a very small town or a village. The main pavement is on the other side. It’s narrow here to accommodate both the main thoroughfare and the war memorial. I doubt the residents would care to demolish the historic buildings or their cenotaph to soothe the rage of the terminally online.

And there’s clearly a walker using the pavement in the image.

Then railways brought about the invention of regional specialty industries, the suburbs, and the commuter.

Its not too different. Your perception is thrown off by that very dense tangle around Germany, but then Germany was a very early adopter of railways having passed proto-railway technology to Britain in the first place, then via the personal union of the British and Hanoverian thrones got modern railways in return from the mid-18th century.

Imagine how Europe’s population density looked before the railways…

Railways were being built in the US as early as 1795, and their first purpose-built “main line”, the Baltimore & Ohio, opened in 1830, 5 years after its British counterpart the Stockton & Darlington.
