Well, it’s not just LBGT issues where this sort of stuff happens...the whole Gawker writing cadre gets up in arms on behalf of Native Americans when it comes to the Redskins issue when multiple polls of the that community shows that the majority BAY FAR has no issue with the term.

Right, this is one of the things that is resolutely ignored in these kinds of criticisms — the sexual orientation of the vast majority of supporting characters in films is never addressed because it doesn’t have anything to do with the plot, and thus demanding that a supporting character’s sexual orientation be…

I’ll preface this by saying I’m gay. Honest question - are you gay? I hope so, cause I’m kind of getting tired of people being offended on our behalf when we’re not offended.

Him and Wonder Woman might save this film, but I’m still gutted he’s not playing Lobo.

I agree.

I’d be good with them even doing something set in Middle-Earth, explore more of it, set it in a different time. The first three movies did a pretty good job, we don’t need a rehash.

The Witcher books would be good, and an ideal fit for the politicking, morally grey fantasy hole that GoT finishing will leave.

Your comment is ridiculous. Not about us not needing even more padding than was in the Hobbit, you’re right about that. The movies we got were more then enough.

Look, the films simplified certain elements, mischaracterised Faramir’s story, and got rid of the Scouring of the Shire (yes, I really love that part and think it’s a crucial part of the hobbits’ arc), but it also captured a lot of what made the novels fantastic, and the casting and production design were pretty much…

Declining popularity true, but somehow very close to becoming a trillion dollar company:

Dumb people fail to understand MSRP.

I was referring to the ancient days where you got a phone at a subsidized price in exchange for being in a multi-year contract with the carrier. You didn’t pay on an installment plan, you just paid less up front because the carrier wanted you to be tied to the plan. But the subsidy recovery was baked into the cost of…

Market share vs profit margin.

Minimum Advertised Price

Originally, if you as a customer were willing to agree to a 2-year deal with a carrier, the trade-off was you got a savings toward the cost of your phone.

...which there is an undeniable demand for. Call it overpriced, call it ridiculous...but also call it a lesson for other makers of electronics on how they could learn from this.

You sure there is a contract? They could’ve just bought a bunch of phones and sell them. If demand is high enough, price will go up. Also, russian joke, training for the new iphone (NSFW)

If people will pay, why not. It’s called ‘capitalism’.

The point is no matter how fast they make FaceID it’ll never be faster than TouchID where your phone is unlocked and ready by the time you’re looking at it.

and they do.
