Wow. One would never expect such behavior from a standup comedian. /s

Honest question (I’ve not followed this story closely): is Ellen really a terrible tyrant, of just a chief executive who doesn’t know or care how her employees live (like 80% of all chief executives)?

I know it wouldn’t be easy, but shame on you for not photoshopping an anthropomorphic man-spider-creature behind the wheel.

All those cost comparisons make more sense to me in a world where vod is a substitute product. But since you *can’t* go pay $6 for a coke for the foreseeable future, it makes a lot more sense to me to compare apples to apples (vod vs vod).

I know concessions are their bread and butter (wordplay!), but i’m curious what the average markup on a ticket is. Discounting that, distribution costs, theater overhead, etc., i feel like comparing VOD to ticket cost is really like comparing apples to...a big ole bucket of buttery popcorn!

Sure, but Onward was $20 3 weeks after release, then free for Disney+ members shortly thereafter. That makes $30 sound like a price tag for suckers.

Well, if you’ve seen the old Mulan, then it’s not really ‘sight unseen’.

I dunno, $30 sounds very much like a bad deal to me, and considering the membership requirement, it technically costs more than $30.

Ummmmm, maybe you haven’t been reading the news, but Biden is going to *hurt God*.

Didn’t the ‘blurred lines’ suit set precedence that if a recording has similar *vibes* to another recording that shares no music or lyrics in common, litigious relatives of the (potentially long-dead) original creator should get all the money?

Love you too.

The proof that any meaningful number of people have the ability to differentiate between a quality mp3 and CD is tenuous at best. CD quality wav vs. lossless on the other hand...not buying it. Sure, maybe you can hear it on a record you recorded when you know which is which, side-by-side, but in a blind taste test?…

“...a lot of fans use them...[because they’re]... listening on good equipment.”

“Gay” isn’t the word for it. That’s just a recipe for pink-eye.

In fairness, Bay is apparently 50% Make it Awesome, 50% drill Sargent who will stop at nothing to produce a profitable film, on time, on budget, no matter how shitty the film.

I just remember it as the tail end of the era where the wrestlers were pointing to their crotches and yelling “SUCK IT” at each other, trading any existing homoerotic subtext for text.

Is he, though? Quite often he suggests that certain parties avoid having a cow, but that's hardly name calling.

I’m glad we all agree that “dipshit” is the most appropriate moniker for him. No other pejorative captures him quite so well.

See, that’s the thing — I feel like white pony was the bridge into them becoming a great band. People act like that album was their pinnacle beause they were *trying* new things and getting away from nu-metal, but it was only in subsequent records that actually figured out how to really make those new things a…
